I didnt think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a lot of antique (古董) shops near
29、 my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldnt even look at my chair. The second shop, though a little more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourthso I decided that my appr
30、oach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper. “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “Il
31、l give you twenty pounds.” “Its got a broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, its nothing.”Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “Ill buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You have ju
32、st sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but Ive changed my mind. I am sorry. Ill give you 27 pounds for it.” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair.” “Youre right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked
33、 in and said, Would you mend this chair for me?” “I wouldnt have agreed to do it,” he said. “We dont do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble.

36、a television program? Adults seldom recall events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four rarely retain any memory of specific, personal experiences.A variety of explanations have been proposed by psychologists（心理学家） for this childhood amn
37、esia( 记忆缺失,健忘).One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature（成熟）until about the age of two. But the most popular theory maintains (主张)that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot access（接近） childhood memories. Adults
38、 think in words, and their life memories are like stories. But when they search through their mental files for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they dont find any that fit the pattern. Its like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.Now psychologist Annette
39、Simms offers a new explanation for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply arent any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simms, children need to learn to use someone elses spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly forgott
40、en impressions of these experiences into long-term memories. In other words, children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about them - Mother talking about the afternoon spent looking for crabs(蟹) at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this verba
