In summer 2007,I joined the British Red Cross at 15.After several days of training,I was attending my first event as a fully qualified Red Cross volunteer.Our team was providing medical cover for a large martial arts grading event.

Although I’d passed my first aid course with flying colours,I was nervous before the event began.There’s quite a difference between the classroom and the real thing!Two experienced adult volunteers would be working with me for the day.

Rosie was taking part in the under-16s event.This was supposed to be non-contact,and she was wearing full protective clothing just in case.All these precautions(预防措施) didn’t help,however,when her competitor misjudged a move and delivered a violent blow to her head.

“Guys,we need some help over here!” Over we went,all three of us carrying various bits of kit(工具箱).Rosie was lying on the ground.As we approached we could see she was conscious.Brian,my colleague,took the lead.

“Hey there,stay nice and still for me.Chris here is just going to hold your head.Don’t worry;it’s just a precaution.”

I helped,painfully aware that hundreds of sets of eyes were following our every move.However I soon forgot all about this as I focused on the task at hand.

Rosie was complaining of pain in her neck.These are all classic signs of a possible spinal

injury.Quickly,Brian found there were no other injuries and an ambulance was called.I was still holding her head and doing my best to comfort her.

The doctors arrived and we put Rosie carefully into the ambulance for a trip to hospital.Then we went back to the first aid post quickly.

Ten years on when a call comes in,that slight feeling of nervousness is still there.However,so is the feeling of making a difference,being there during a painful moment in someone’s life.

Before January 2005,young girls couldn’t play soccer in Katutura,a black township in

Namibia,Africa.They had no soccer balls,no playing field,no shoes,and no leader.Each day,girls and boys gathered at the Nordkamp Center after school.Most of the boys would play soccer in a nearby dirt field while the girls remained at the center to jump rope or read books.

Center director Mary Beth Gallagher loved soccer and knew that the girls would love it,too.So she organized a girls’ team with players under the age of 12.She knew it would be the youngest girls’soccer team in the whole country.Because they had no other girls’ teams to compete with,Mary Beth arranged matches against the boys’ teams.The boys were bigger and stronger,but the girls didn’t back down.

Soon news spread about the Nordkamp girls’ team.An American soccer team from New York heard about them and immediate ly sent all their uniforms and shoes to their “soccer sisters”.When the bright orange uniforms arrived,the Nordkamp girls danced happily.

“You look like pumpkins,” Mary Beth said.

A girl’s voice called out,“If we are pumpkins,we’re beautiful pumpkins.”

With their new name the Pumpkins,the experienced team was ready for a big match.

On December 1,2006,the Pumpkins gathered and walked in a big orange line to a field near the Nordkamp Center.Their first opposing (对抗的) team laughed at the young players,but they didn’t laugh for long.They quickly found out just how good the Pumpkins were.The Pumpkins beat that first team and then the next.These girls became famous,and their story was also encouraging to others in Namibia.

You can relax if remembering everything is not your strong suit.Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength—in fact,selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.

Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything.But looking through years of recent memory data,researchers Paul Frank and Blake Richards of the University of Toronto found that forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.

“The goal of memory is not the transmission of information through time.Rather,the goal of memory is to optimize (优化) decision-making,” their study in Neuron states.

Making intelligent decision does not mean you need to have all the information at hand,it just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information.And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations.

Our brains do this by generating new neurons (神经元) in our hippocampus (海马体),which have the power to overwrite existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the

number of new neurons in our brain’s learning region,try exercising.Moderate aerobic exercise like jogging,power walking,and swimming have been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.

When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs,our brain is making a choice that these details do not matter.Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern,the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system.

We can get critisized for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail.These findings show us that total recall can be overrated.Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories,not every story.

【语篇导读】本文是说明文。如果事事牢记不是你的强项,你可以放心了。最新研究表明,健忘可能是个优点。事实上,选择性记忆甚至可能表明智商更高。

C.To help people make the best decision.

D.To remember everything in perfect detail.

“Rather,the goal of memory is to optimize decision-making”可知,记忆的目的是优化决策。故选C项。

13.What do we know about new neurons from Paragraph 5?

A.They have the power to change our existing memories.

B.Moderate aerobic exercise may fail to improve their number.

C.They have the power to influence directly our decision-making.

D. Exercising can increase the number of them in our hippocampus.

,尤其最后两句可知,如果你想增加大脑学习区域的新神经元数量,可以尝试锻炼。研究发现,诸如慢跑、健步行走和游泳这类适度的有氧锻炼可以增加大脑内部重要连接区域的神经元数量。故选D项。

14.Which one may the author agree with?

A.Traditional research on memory stresses forgetting.

B.Our brains are smart enough to make selective memory.

C.Our brains function better when we remember everything.

D.Frequent forgetting means a perfectly healthy memory system.
