“What's the name of our neighbor I can't remember right now.” Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this sometimes Usually, we think that older people's memory becomes bad because their brains get weak. But now a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a new idea.
“The human brain works slower in old age,” says Michael Ramscar, the lead scientist, “but only because they have stored more information over time.”
The findings are based on a series of computer simulations (模拟) of learning and memory.
Scientists let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer “read” only so much, its performance on cognitive (认知) tests is similar to a young adult. But if the computer learned the experiences we might encounter over a lifetime, its performance is similar to that of an older adult.
Often it was slower, but not because its processing capacity (能力) had cut down. Rather, increased “experience” had caused the computer's database to grow, giving it more data to process — which takes time.
This is similar to old people.
Imagine a person knows two people's birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person
The basic idea is that “The larger the library you have in your head, the longer it usually takes to find a particular word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for the New York Times, wrote in an article about the study.
( )68.Why do old people easily forget people's names according to the new research
A.Because they have a poor memory.
B.Because they are too old to remember things.
C.Because their brains have become weak and work slower.
D.Because they have stored too much information in their brains.
( )69.What does the underlined word “encounter” in Paragraph 4 mean
A.Meet. B.Learn.
C.Pick. D.Forget.
( )70.What does the experiment with the computer want to show us
A.Even a computer can become useless.
B.The computer has more capacity than human.
C.The processing capacity of a computer will be improved.
D.The growth of the database makes the computer slow.
( )71.You can read the passage in a(n) .
A.history book B.culture magazine
C.health book D.personal introduction
( )72.Which would be the best title for the passage
A.What's the difference between a computer and a human's brain
B.How does a computer database work
C.Why do the old forget things easily
D.How to forget the unhappy things in their life
