5.Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really isleaning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a “memory trace (记忆痕) .” What makes up this traceis not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories.For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to dear the dark.Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three meansto find out how a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the personmemorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a personremembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method ofrecall. Another method is called recognition. Gibe the person another grocery list. Ask him or herto choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person willbe able to recognize thins that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much aperson remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. Theperson will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The differencein the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as a measure of how much a person hasremembered.One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boringlists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and areinterested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked withreward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learn how to do something if that action gets theanimal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or theknowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.We can learn from the 2nd paragraph that_____.

Another interesting experiment showed a bird’s51number sense．A man was trying to take a photo of a crow(乌鸦) that had a nest in a tower, but the crow always left when she saw him coming．The bird did not52until the man left the tower．The man had an53．He took another man with him to the tower．One man left and the other stayed, but they did not54the bird．The crow stayed away until the second man left, too．The experiment was55with three men and then with four men．But the crow did not return to the nest until all the men were56．It was not until five men went into the tower and only four left that they were57able to fool the crow.

How good is a human’s number sense? It’s not very good．For example, babies about fourteen months old almost always notice if something is taken away from a58group．But when the number goes beyond three or four, the children are59fooled.

It seems that number sense is something we have in common with many animals in this world, and that our human60is not much better than a crow’s.55A.reported,B.repeated,C.designed,D.approved
