①What is your earliest childhood memory Adults seldom call back events much earlier than the year before entering school, just as children younger than three or four seldom remember any specific, personal experiences.
②An explanation is suggested by psychologists (心理学家) for this “Childhood Amnesia” (童 年 失 忆 ). Now Annette Simms, a psychologist of Riverdale University, offers a new explanation for it. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone else’s spoken description in order to turn their short-term, fast forgotten impression into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them.
③So why should personal memories depend so heavily on hearing them described
④Dr. Simms says that the human mind organizes memories in this way. Children whose mothers talk with them about the day's activities before bedtime can remember more of the day's special event than those whose mothers don't. Talking about an event in this way helps a child to remember it.
⑤ “The key to creating this mental life story is language,” says Dr. Simms. “Children learn to talk about the past,” she says. “Talking to others about their short-term memories of the past leads to the establishment of long-term memories.” The child learns that this “word-description” of an experience can then be stored in the memory and called back at any time. But a child's language skills are usually not ready for this until the age of three or four, so they have no way to remember the earliest of their experiences.

A. News B. Culture C. Science D. Nature

A. Unforgettable memories of early childhood. B. Adults can't remember things as well as children.
C. Children need to discuss experiences with their parents.
D. The reason why we can't remember the events of early childhoods.
( )3. According to Dr. Simms, why don't children form long-term memories before the age of three
A. Because children misunderstand their memories. B. Because children can't call back their experiences.
C. Because children have nowhere to store the memories
D. Because children haven't developed enough language skills.
( )4. What's the structure of the passage
( ①= Para.1 ②= Para.2 ③= Para.3 ④= Para.4 ⑤= Para.5 )
A. ①; ②; ③④⑤ B. ①②; ③④; ⑤ C. ①②③; ④; ⑤ D. ①②; ③; ④⑤

The documentary Born in China was shot in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau. It not only brings audiences the lives of animals that are seldom seen in the wild, like giant pandas and Tibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) and so on, but also shows traditional Chinese culture. The documentary mainly focuses on life and love within three animal families — giant pandas, golden monkeys and snow leopards (雪豹).
As a symbol of China, the giant panda is both black and white. Its body is thought to show yin and yang. The panda's gentle nature also shows how yin and yang lead to peace and harmony (和谐). This can be seen in the documentary when a giant panda mother guides her baby for independence and explore the world.
Monkeys always have strong personalities. The best example might be the Monkey King, a character from the popular novel Journey to the West. On the one hand, he stands for impatience. But on the other hand, he shows cleverness and energy. Born in China follows a 2-year-old golden monkey. He feels like his life has been changed worse after his new baby sister was born. He quickly joins up with a group of other free-spirited (无拘无束的) monkeys, but finally returns to his family and understands the meaning of responsibility.
The snow leopards are known for their rapid attacks and quick footwork. They have inspired a form of pictographic boxing (象形拳) in Shaolin martial arts (武术). So far, many people have been learning the martial arts in China.
Born in China is an excellent work to show traditional Chinese culture. From the animals in this documentary, we can know that Chinese people have learned from wild animals since ancient times.

Big data(数据) is a lot of sets of information that are put together so they can be used by a computer program. It can have different kinds of information from many sources (来源), such as information that comes from schools, social media sites, companies, and governments. 2 Another set can have what they like, how they go to school, and how much time they spend on the computer.
3 The government uses it to understand how many people travel by bus or train. The information is then used to make bus or train systems panies use big data, too. It helps them understand something about their products. For example, one company uses weather data to see when people eat the most ice-cream.
Big data can be used for good reasons. Some hospitals use big data to predict if a baby who is born too early will get sick. The hospital can then take extra steps to take care of that baby so he or she does not get sick. 4 It can be used to predict which kinds of people are likely to break the law or hurt others, even if they have not done anything wrong.
5 The computer programs used to analyse(分析) big data and understand it are written by people. People think in a certain way. So they build a model of their own ideas.
