Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Your mind’s ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory. There are two kinds of remembering,
recall and recognition. For instance, you may not be able to recall the poem you read yesterday, but if you see it
again, you will know it instantly because you recognize it. Some few people have “total recall”, often spoken of as
photographic memory. A person with total recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read only once. This is
very unusual, however, and most people have difficulty in remembering even the names they heard the day before.
This is not because most people have a lack of the ability to remember, but because they had not paid much attention
to what they heard. They felt no personal reasons to remember. Having a personal reason for remembering is one of
the most important factors in a good memory. When you have a strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you
read or listen, and try to connect the new information to things you already know. A detail is easy to remember when
it fits into a whole that makes sense. If you understand the entire history lesson before you try to remember
particular dates, your memory may surprise you.
21. This article as a whole tells us about ____________.
A. recognition as one way to remember things B. people who can’t remember names
C. people who can remember whole pages D. your memory and how you may improve it
22. A person with photographic memory ____________.
A. can be found in mental hospitals B. can only remember things if he looks at a photograph
C. can remember every detail of what he sees or hears D. brings his camera everywhere he goes
23. One way to improve your memory is ____________.
A. to concentrate on what you listen or read B. to ask other people to repeat something again and again
C. to have a camera with you all the time D. to learn everything you read or hear by heart
24. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. A person can remember things better if he has a strong reason for doing it.
B. Your memory is your ability to bring back experiences you have had.
C. Most people lack the ability to remember.
D. Recognition and recall are the two kinds of memory.
