People remembered bad memories more easily and in greater detail than good ones. Why is that? A new study found that people do this because of evolutionary reasons.
Elizabeth Kensinger and her partners at Boston College, US, did a study looking at this. They found negative feelings like fear and sadness cause an increase in brain activity. This activity happens in the part of the brain that controls memories. So memories caused by negative feeling are kept in greater detail than other kinds of memories.
For example, after seeing a man on a street holding a knife, people remember the knife clearly, but they forget the details of the street.
According to Kensinger, it is easy to understand this from an evolutionary point of view. She said that people pay attention to dangerous information so they can use that information to guide their actions and save their lives. They can also use it to plan for similar events in the future.
The scientists say more studies are needed on how we remember, bad memories. This line of research could help solve stress disorders.

Our earth is in trouble. Our drinking water is becoming dirtier, and the air is not as clean as before. People and factories are polluting the air, rivers, lakes and seas. You may think there is nothing you can do to help. That’s not true. There are many things you can do to save the earth.
Cars burn oil. This will make a lot of CO₂ into the air. Too much CO₂ is making the earth warmer than ever. So try to walk, ride a bike or take a bus. This can save some oil and produce less CO₂.
The biggest energy use at home is for keeping warm or cool. So turn off the air conditioner (空调) when you don’t need to use it. Use lights that save energy. Use fewer things that cannot be used again. When you buy something, consider those made from things that can be used again first. A lot of water is needed for shower. So take shorter showers. That can cut the use of the water
Every small action can make a big difference to our earth. Let’s take action to protect it.
1. The water is polluted. But the air is very clean now.2. There is nothing you can do to help save the earth.
3. Too much CO₂ can make the earth warmer
