LINE TEXT
1 Human memory, formerly believed to be rather inefficient, is really more
2 sophisticated than that of a computer. Researchers approaching the problem
3 from a variation of viewpoints have all concluded that there is a great deal
4 more storing in our minds than has been generally supposed. Dr. Wilder
5 Penfield, a Canadian neurosurgery, proved that by stimulating their brains
6 electrically, he can elicit the total recall of specific events in his subjects’
7 lives. Even dreams and another minor events supposedly forgotten for many
8 years suddenly emerged in details. Although the physical basic for memory is

9 not yet understood, one theory is how the fantastic capacity for storage in the

10 brain is the result of an almost unlimited combination of interconnections

11 between brain cell, stimulated by patterns of activity. Repeated references

12 with the same information support recall. In other word, improved

13 performance is the result of strengthening the chemical bonds in the memory.

Part 3. Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the following
questions. Write your answers in corresponding numbered boxes. (10 points)
FORGETFUL BRAINS
Humans have always had trouble remembering certain details. One person has the
unique experience of recalling in almost exact detail a memory from his childhood, but he
cannot remember what he ate for lunch yesterday. Another cannot recall names of people
she met five minutes ago, but she remembers the names of people she met from an hour
before. Psychologists have searched for answers to the memory phenomenon to better
understand how the brain functions and what triggers memory or causes forgetfulness.
After extensive research over the past century, they have come up with some basic theories
to help explain memory loss.
There are times when an individual loses all recollection of an event. ■ A). This is
referred to as the decay theory, which states that if memories are not recalled from time to

Page 9 of 17
time, they fade and then gradually drop from a person’s memory. Decay is proven to occur
with sensory memories, or short-term memories, if they are not recalled or rehearsed. Decay
of long-term memory is harder to explain because these memories last through the passage
of time. ■ B) In fact, some knowledge can be accessed many years after it is first learned. ■
C) Research on students who took Spanish courses in high school revealed that they still
remembered a great deal of Spanish fifty years later, even though they had hardly used the
language. While some memories tend to decay, others remain burned into recesses of the
brain, causing psychologists to further ponder the workings of memory. ■ D)
Another explanation made by researchers concerning memory loss is known as
interference. Under this theory, an individual forgets a memory when similar information
enters the mind and interferes with the original memory in either the storage or retrieval area
of the brain. The information is somewhere in the person’s memory, but it gets confused
with other details. This occurs in both short –term and long-term memory and is most
common when a person tries to recall isolated facts. For instance, a woman goes to a party
and meets a man named Joe at the front door. Half an hour later, she is introduced to Jason.
When she sees Joe again, she accidentally calls him Jason. This is retroactive interference.
The newest information input replaces the old information, causing the woman to
mistakenly call the first man by the wrong name. Additionally, people may suffer from
proactive interference. A student meets his first professor, Dr Mack, in his English class.
When he has History, he meets Dr. Miller. However, he frequently calls both teachers Dr.
Mack, since that is the first name he had learned. Remembering the first set of information
and not remembering the next is proactive interference. The old information interfered with
the student’s ability to recall the newer information.
When a person needs to remember something, he frequently relies on cues, or
reminders, to help him retrieve a specific memory. When he lacks the cue to recall the
memory, the person suffers from cue-dependent forgetting. This may be the most common
type of forgetfulness. Psychologist Willem Wagenaar did a year-long study during which he
recorded events from his life daily. After a year’s time, he could not remember twenty
percent of the critical details, and after five years, he had forgotten sixty percent. However,
he compiled cues from ten witnesses to some events in his past that he believed he had
forgotten, he was able to recall pieces of information about all ten. Thus, when he had cues
to help him retrieve his memories, he could remember his experiences, illustrating that he
was somewhat cue-dependent. Cognitive psychologists believe that these specific cues help

Page 10 of 17
direct a person to the area of the brain where the memory is stored or they match up with
information linked to the actual memory the person is seeking.
Whether forgetfulness is from years of decay, replacement of old memories, or lack
of cues, researchers continue working to locate the source of people’s forgetfulness. The
answers are becoming clearer with each additional study. As brain research advances,
psychologists are sure to connect many different factors that link people back to their
memories.

Part 4. Read the following text and do the tasks that follow. (15 points)
A. A condition that causes children to dislike being hugged and sometimes reject all
physical affection is closer to being understood following research into the part of the brain
responsible for our senses. Scientists at Northwestern University, Illinois, and the University
of Edinburgh explored fragile X syndrome, a condition associated with hypersensitivity to
sounds, touch, smells and visual stimuli that can result in social withdrawal or anxiety.
Hypersensitivity is a condition in which the person affected responds in an excessive way to
contact with the world around them. Some sufferers are even hypersensitive to material on
their skin.
B. The scientists found that critical phases in the brain’s development may be wrongly
timed in people with the condition. This may result in delayed communication between
certain neurons in the brain. By recording electrical signals in the brains of mice, bred to
exactly copy the effects of the condition, the researchers found that connections in the
brain’s sensory cortex were late to develop fully. The study, published in the journal
Neuron, found that normal neural connections in the sensory cortex occur much easier than
previously thought: in the first week of pregnancy in mice, which is equivalent to the middle
of the second trimester (or fifth month) of pregnancy in humans. In fragile X syndrome, the
mistiming also has a domino effect, causing further problems with the correct wiring of the
brain. The hope is that by understanding how and when the functions of the brain are
effected in fragile X syndrome, a therapy may become possible.
C. “There is a “critical period” during development, when the brain is very plastic and is
changing rapidly,” said Anis Contractor, from the Geinberg School of Medicine at
Northwestern University. “All the elements of this rapid development have to be
coordinated so that the brain becomes wired correctly and therefore functions properly.”
People with the syndrome have cognitive problems as well as sensory problems that make
them physically weaker. “They have tactile defensiveness,” Dr Contractor said. “They don’t
look in people’s eyes, they won’t hug their parents, and they are hypersensitive to touch and
sound. All of this causes anxiety for family and friends as well as for the fragile X patients
themselves.” Peter Kind, who led the study at the University of Edinburgh, said: “We know
there are key windows during which the brain develops, both in the womb and afterwards.
The general principle is that if these time windows have shifted, then that could explain the
cognitive problems.”
D. Professor Kind said that this could be demonstrated by the fact that a child with cataract
(a medical condition in which the lens of the eyes becomes less and less transparent) that

Page 13 of 17
was not corrected would become permanently blind in the affected eye, whereas an adult
would be able to regain their sight after an operation. “We’ve learnt that theses changes
happen much earlier than previously thought, which gives valuable insight into when we
should begin therapeutic intervention for people with these conditions,” he said. “It also has
implications for the treatment of autism since the changes in the brains of people with
fragile X syndrome and autistic people are thought to significantly overlap.” Autism, as
many people know, is a disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates
to other people, and how they make sense of the world.
E. Fragile X syndrome is as common as cystic fibrosis, a genetic disorder that commonly
affects the lungs and causes breathing difficulties, and that affects about 1 in 4,000 males
and 1 in 8,000 females worldwide. The Fragile X Society believes that there are many
people who have the fragile X syndrome but have never been diagnosed. It shows up in
early infancy and progressively worsens throughout childhood, causing intellectual
disability as well as social, language and behavioural problems.
F. Fragile X syndrome is caused by a gene mutation on the X chromosome- one of the two
chromosomes that determine the gender or sex of a person. The mutation interferes in the
production of a protein called fragile X mental retardation protein. Fragile X is so-named
because the X chromosome appears broken or kinked. Tim Potter, of the Fragile X Society,
said: “ We welcome any research that helps us understand fragile X and which may open
the way to reversing the effects or preventing them ever happening.
