Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and tra

41、ffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences. Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience

42、. They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase (抹去) the effect of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing (释放) chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of

43、 memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people w

44、ho suffer from terrible memories. “Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,” said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry (精神病学) at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve

45、 (减轻) a lot of that suffering.” But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity (特性). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past. “All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but mak

46、e us who we are. Im not sure wed want to wipe those memories out,” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist (伦理学家).Some people fear that although the drug would first be used in only very serious cases, it would become more and more common. “People always have tlle ability to misuse science,” said J

47、oseph Le Doux, a New York University memory researcher. “All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories.”59Whats the main idea of this passage？A. People often suffer from bad memories.B. American researchers are trying to develop a pill.C. Forget bad memories, and be happy.D. Th

48、e research has caused a heated argument.60The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refers to “_”.A. the new drugB. the research into the drugC. the bad memoryD. the chemical in the drug61Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the supporters？A.

49、Some memories can ruin peoples lives. The pill can relieve emotional suffering.C. The pill can also help many other types of people who suffer from terrible memories.D. The pill can prevent or treat troubling memories in soldiers after war.62Which of the following is NOT the opinion of the opponents

50、 (反对者)？A. Our memories give us our identity.B. The memories help human avoid mistakes of the past.C. The drug should be used in only very serious cases.D. People may not be sure whether they want to wipe the memories out.D According to some talk, the younger generation in Smithville is the most anti

51、social in history. This seems far from the truth. Young people today as a whole are better, more informed, more ambitious, healthier, and more smart than ever before. Why then, it may be asked, do we see such restlessness and such antisocial behavior among our young people？ For the answer the citize

52、ns of this community must look at themselves. What have they done to the grounds that have been built in the last fifteen years？How many swimming pools are there? How many vocational training projects have been started? How many community-organized youth parties and picnics have been held? The avera

53、ge citizen will answer that the responsibility for these activities belongs to schools. But schools cannot be held responsible for all the free-time activities of all the young people of this community. The job of the schools is formal education, not free-time recreation (娱乐). This community needs a

54、 youth center suitable for such activities as picnics, camping, sports, music, art and so on. There should be social and recreational activities to meet the needs and interests of every member of our school age youth. Mayor Elmo D. Greely has proposed the formation of a youth club as the first step

55、in the direction of a youth center. Mayor Greely has called a meeting at the City Hall on Friday, August 15, at noon. Giving up a lunch hour is a very little sacrifice for a project that can be of great importance to this community. This newspaper urges every adult and young person of Smithville to attend this important meeting. We believe our industrial, business, and professional leaders have an especially strong duty to be present. This newspaper will be present and intends to support this project with vigor.63The underlined word “antisocial”
