Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a "memory trace (记忆痕) ". What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.
Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out bow a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as measure of how much a person has remembered.
One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.
We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that ______.
A.bad memories may cause rats to fear the dark
B.it is hard to tell what a memory trace consists of
C.chemical substances carry certain memories
D.memory is stored in the brain as a substance

In May 2001, after meeting with staff from the Center for Rural Affairs, the friends -- Louise Guy, Vicky Koch, Jeanette Pinkelan, Mary Rose Pinkelman and Violet Pinkelman -- opened a weekend market for vendors (小商贩) to sell handcrafts and local food.
"We felt like, what can we do to bring the community together?" says Mary Rose Pinkelman. "We decided to make a place to sell local goods." They set up shop in the church school, which, though closed for nearly 40 years, had been well maintained. The first weekend, 16 vendors took over an old classroom. The result was an instant hit. Today, the market draws up to 70 vendors -- who sell such items as homemade jellies, baked goods, hand-woven rugs, and farm-grown produce -- and what Pinkelman calls an unexpected number of visitors. In the process, the market has made St. James a destination again, putting it back on the state road map.
According to Paragraph 1, what fate was St. James, Nebraska suffering ?
A.The replacement of the church.
B.The disappearance from highway maps.
C.The closedown of the bar.
D.The set-up of a market.

Short Answers
1 Auctions are public sales of goods conducted by an officially approved auctioneer. He
asks the crowd assembled in the auction-room to make offers, or "bids", for the various
items on sale. He encourages buyers to b 记 higher figures, and finally names the highest
bidder as the buyer of the good. Practically all goods whose (lualities vary are sold by
auction. Among these are coffee, skins, wool, tea, furs, species, fruit and vegetables and
wines. Auction sales are also useful for land and property, antique furniture, pictures, rare
kooks, old china and works of art
2 An auction is usually advertised beforehand with full particulars of the articles to be
sold; and where and when they can be viewed by prospective buyers. TI the advertisement
cannot give full details, catalogues are printed, and each group of goods to be sold together,
called a "lot", is usually given a number. The auctioneer need not begin with Lot 1 and
continue in numerical order; he may wait until he registers the fact that certain dealers are in
the rocm and then produces the lots they are likely to be interested in. The auctioneer's
services are paid for in the form. of a percentage of the price the goods
are sold for. The
auctioneer therefore has a direct interest in pushing up the bidding as high as possible
3 The auctioneer must know fairly accurately the current market values of the goods
he is selling, and he should be acquainted with regular buyers of such goods. Fe will not
waste time by starting the bidding too low. He will also play on the rival among his buyers
and succeed in getting a high price by encouraging two business competitors to bid against
each other. It is largely in his advice that a seller will fix a "reserved" price, that is, a price
below which the goods cannot be sold. Even the best auctioneers, however, find it difficult
to stop a 'knock-out", whereby dealers illegally arranged themselves as the only bidder, in
the hope of buying goods at extremely low prices. If such a "knock-out" comes off, the real
auction sale takes place privately afterwards among the dealers
