11、ty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute ”, answered a weak, elderly voice. After a long
12、 pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase. I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car. She kept thanking me for my kindness. “Its nothing,” I told her. “I just

When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?” “Its not the shortest way,” I answered quickly. “Oh, Im in no hurry,” she said. “Im on my
14、 way to a hospice(临终医院). I dont have any family left. The doctor says I dont have very long.” I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器). For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the fur
15、niture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl. Sometimes shed ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At dawn, she suddenly said,” Im tired. Lets go now.” We drove in silence to the address she ha
16、d given me. “How much do I owe you?” she asked. “Nothing.” I said. “You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.

19、ld learn to appreciate others concern. C C Most people forget what theyve just learned within 12 or 24 hours. If you are reading this post now, chances are that tomorrow youll not even remember it. Our brain works like a big search engine. When you insert a new piece of information, it goes to a big
20、 stack called short-term memory. When you want to remember that information, your brain will try to search inside that stack for the information you requested. Thats why you often remember a title of a song after many hours from your first attempt. If you are trying to recall something after a long
21、time (it can be even one hour for useless information), your brain will have a hard time finding it, as its more likely that you have forgotten it. Knowing this, we can try to understand why we forget what weve learned just a few hours ago. When a new piece of information enters your brain, it is st
22、ored as unstable information, because your brain doesnt know whether its useful or not. For example, you dont need to remember every car youve seen in your daily commute（通勤） to work.

23、ll you now to find the sum of the number from 1 to n, you have to calculate (n+1) n/2, chances are that within one hour itll be already hard for you to recall the correct formula (公式), although its pretty easy. This happens because (if you are not good at math) your brain does not find similar infor
24、mation already stored in your brain, so its hard for it to strengthen that information alone. And by now youve probably forgotten it. As youve just read, the major difficulty for your brain is to strengthen and create consistency and the best way to help your brain do it is by recalling what youve j
25、ust learned many times. 8. Why do most people forget what they have just learned in one day? A. Because short-term memory plays the main role in remembering newly learned thing B.
