29、 may provide a clue about how the brain manages vast amounts of information and remembers what it needs.The researchers found that when monkeys were taught to remember computer clip art pictures, their brains reduced the level of detail by sorting the pictures into categories for recall, such as ima

30、ges that contained people, buildings, flowers, and animals. The categorizing cells were found in the hippocampus, an area of the brain that processes sensory information into memory. In the experiment each monkey was shown one clip art picture, and after a delay of one to 30 seconds, picked the orig

31、inal out of two to six different images to get a juice reward.By recording cell activity during hundreds of these trials in which the pictures were all different, the researchers noticed that certain cells were more active when the pictures contained similar features, such as images of people but no

32、t other objects. They found that different cells coded images that fit different categories. The category cells grouped images based on common features a strategy to improve memory. For example, the same cell responded to both tulips and daisies because they are both flowers.“While such categorizati

33、on is a highly efficient memory process, it may also have a downside,” said Deadwyler Ph.D, “ when the trials included more than one picture with people in it, instead of different images, the monkeys often confused the image with a picture of other people. So learning more about how the brain remem

34、bers could have far-reaching benefits. If we can understand in advance how the brain works when decisions are made, we can predict when the brain will make a mistake, and correct it, said Tim Pons, Ph.D, This finding about how large amounts of information are processed by the brain will help us to u

38、bers has been found out24（8分） Dave Merry and his tools have been through a lot together. The tools helped Dave, now 80, repair his home in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he and his wife, Annette Merry, lived for 46 years and raised three children. The table saw, the jointer plane, the drill press, and t

39、he dozens of other power and hand tools had pride of place in his carefully organized workshop. “I had a whole setup, and it was beautiful,” says Dave, a retired engineer.But then Annette experienced a stroke(中風) that left her relying on a walker to get around, and the Merrys decided to move into as

40、sisted living. Daves workshop was obviously a minor consideration given Annettes condition, but the family knew that giving it up, on top of everything else, would hurt.It was the Merrys daughter who came up with a possible solution. Shed heard about some people who were setting up a tool librarya n

41、onprofit facility that would lend out tools just as a regular library lends books. Might Dad be interested in donating his?“I said yes,” Dave says.The people creating the St. Paul Tool Library were thrilled. They had expected it would take a year to collect enough tools to make their facility fully

42、functional. Instead it took one day: the day Dave donated his.The librarys founders drove over to the Merrys house and picked everything up themselves. The library is housed in the basement of the American Can Factory. Members pay an annual fee (from $20 to $120) for unlimited tool use and a varying

43、 number of visits to the workshop. And they get an extra benefit: Dave Merry. “Almost every time were open, Daves here,” says one of the founders, Peter Hoh. “It means a lot to me to be able to go and use my tools,” Dave says. “But it means just as much to help DIYers use the tools properly.”As Hoh

44、puts it, “This is his workshop now.”1、What do we know about Dave Merry?AHe had few DIY tools.BHe kept his tools well.CHe owned a tool library.DHe used a walking stick after stroke.2、How did the daughter help her parents?AShe took over Dads workshop.BShe offered Dad useful information.CShe moved them

47、hting World War , on November 11th at 11am in 1918 (the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month).

48、Territories, Ontario and Quebec as it is in many other countries in the world where this day is observed on the national level.All government buildings fly the Canadian flag this day and people remember those who fought for Canada during a two-minute silence at 11am.

49、and on Remembrance Day to show their respect and support for Canadian troops. Poppies are generally handed out free but often a voluntary donation is given in exchange.In the United States this day is called Veterans Day and is also observed on November 11th.Should Remembrance Day be a state holiday

50、 in every province?We continue to receive lots of messages from people all over the country who are outraged (氣憤的) why Remembrance Day is not a state holiday everywhere in Canada.
