12、ord, which makes you look like an idiot.But whe n I stopped watchi ng televisi on completely several mon ths ago, I found that I hadbecome a more reflective person, simply because I had more time to think.

13、 my disappo in tme nt, I foundthat it could be summed up adequately in one sentence:"I watched a lot of TV.” And I wastmuch of my youth that I cannot have back. I will never be more imaginativethan I was in mychildhood.Now I can totally resist the temptati on of TV no matt er how marvelous the

19、ot remember. But if we had kept a book and had writte n in it an account of what we did each day, we should be able to give an an swer to the question.It is the same in history. Many things have bee n forgotte n because we do not have any writte n account of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of

20、the most important happenings in their country: but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ag

21、o, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them.

22、the past.

This we may ca

23、ll ? remembered history ."Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing. But if there are no written records, such spoken stories are

29、 emoti onal scars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares.Now America n researchers are develop ing a pill which will help people forget bad memories.

So far the research has suggested that only the emoti onal effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.The research has cau

31、sed a great deal of argume nt. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that preve nt or treat soldiers' troubli ng memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“ Some memories can ruin people's l

32、ives. They come back to you whe n you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.
