【推荐2】We rely on our memory not only for sharing stories with friends or learning from our past experiences, but we also use it for crucial things like creating a sense of personal identity. Yet evidence shows that our memory isn’t as consistent as we’d like to believe.
There are countless reasons why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events, ranging from what we believe is true or wish were true, to what someone else told us about the past event, or what we want that person to think.
And whenever these mistakes happen, they can have long-term effects on how we’ll recall that memory in the future.
Take storytelling for example. When we describe our memories to other people, we might ask ourselves whether it’s vital to get the facts straight, or whether we only want to make the listener laugh. And we might change the story’s details depending on the listener’s attitudes. It isn’t only the message that changes, but sometimes it’s also the memory itself. This is known as the “audience-tuning effect”, showing us how our memories can change automatically over time, as a product of how, when, and why we access them.
In fact, sometimes simply the act of rehearsing(复述) a memory can be exactly what makes it susceptible(易受影响的)to change. This is known as “retrieval-enhanced suggestibility”. In a typical study of this effect, participants watched a short film, then took a memory test a few days later. But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test, two other things happened. First, half of the participants took a practice memory test. Second, all of the participants were given a description of the film to read, which contained some false details. Participants who took a practice memory test shortly before reading the false information were more likely to reproduce this false information in the final memory test.
Why might this be? One theory is that rehearsing our memories of past events can temporarily make those memories malleable. In other words, retrieving(找回)a memory might be a bit like taking ice-cream out of the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight for a while. By the time our memory goes back into the freezer, it might have naturally become a little misshapen, especially if someone has influenced it purposely in the meantime.
These findings lead us to wonder how much our most treasured memories have changed since the very first time we remembered them. Remembering is an act of storytelling, after all. And our memories are only ever as reliable as the most recent story we told ourselves.
1. According to the “audience-tuning effect”, our memories can ________.| A．change our personal identity | B．correct mistakes on their own |
| C．determine our attitudes to others | D．be affected by how we handle them |
| A．Practice can make imperfect. | B．Storytelling brings back memories. |
| C．Rehearsing contributes to better memories. | D．Memory abilities vary from person to person. |
| A．Acceptable. | B．Valuable. | C．Changeable. | D．Controllable. |

【推荐1】The year 2017 was marked by some rare scientific events and discoveries.
A rare eclipse（日食）covers the US
Among the rare events of the year was a total solar eclipse visible across the United States on August 21.It had been 99 years since a similar eclipse took place in the U.S. Hundreds of thousands of people across the country took time to see the moon partly or completely hide the sun. Many went to places like Carbondale, Illinois, Oregon and Charleston to see the total eclipse. Some people cannot see the eclipse, for cloudy weather messed up the view in some places, but many others had clear skies.
Is warming climate making storms worse?
Many scientists are concerned that rising world temperatures will cause more dangerous weather events. And the World Meteorological Organization in Geneva says 2017 could be among the three hottest years on record. Three powerful ocean storms struck Caribbean islands and the southern US in 2017, which brought more attention to the issue. Hurricane Harvey caused unbelievable flooding to the Houston area in the state of Texas. And Hurricanes Irma and Maria left severe damage in Florida, Puerto Rico and the Caribbean.
Climate experts say rising temperatures will make ocean storms—like hurricanes and typhoons—sharper and with higher wind speeds. Rising sea levels could also make ocean storms worse as waves from the sea force water further inland becoming a danger to highly populated coastal cities.
A good reason to believe in UFOs
Fans of unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, might be glad to know that the United States Defense Department had a secret program to make research on the unknown secret. From 2007 to 2017, the department spent $ 22 million researching unexplained objects seen in the air, including some reported by military pilots. News reports question whether the search for answers about UFOs continues. Reid, spokesman from the Defense Department, answered reporters on Twitter this way：“The truth is out there. Seriously.”
