The brain receives information from the outside world through the sensory (感觉的) system．This information is collected through the eyes，the nose，the ears，the mouth and the surface of the body．It is then kept in the memory．In fact，scientists do not completely understand how the memory works but they are not sure how much information that the human brain can store．Also， it appears that the information is never lost．Very old people often remember things that happened in their childhood which have not come to their minds for sixty to seventy years．If we have kept something in our memory, it is here．But can we get it out again and use it? That is the difficulty．
Some of the information we receive only goes into the Short Term Memory．We only keep this information for a minute or two，then we lose it．This temporary (暂时的) memory is very important in our thinking and understanding．It is used，for example，when you try to remember a name that someone told you a moment ago or a telephone number that you are going to dial (拨)．School children in class often seem to use the Short Term Memory if they are not interested in the subject．When school teachers describe this，they say that things go“in one ear and out in the other”．But if a child is interested，he puts the information in his Long Term Memory, and he never loses it．Long Term Memory depends heavily on our understanding of the meaning of the information we receive．Information is collected through the of sight，hearing，smell，taste and touch．
| A．sense | B．experience |
| C．practice | D．brightness |

If a school child is not interested in a subject， ．
| A．he forgets what he learns quickly |
| B．he memorizes what he learns quickly |
| C．he forgets what he learns slowly |
| D．he memorizes what he learns slowly |
The better we understand the meaning of the information， ．
| A．the more information we can put in our Short Term Memory |
| B．the more information we can put in our Long Term Memory |
| C．the less information．we can put in our Short Term Memory |
| D．the less information we can put，in our Long Term Memory |

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business .But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.

In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.
Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.

Pollution means adding dirty or harmful things to land, air, water and so on. As a result, they are no longer pleasant or safe to use. Pollution is bad for animals and plants, and it even makes people’s health in danger. In our daily life, we can see different kinds of pollution in many places. There are three main forms of pollution: land pollution, air pollution and water pollution.
Land pollution is caused by solid waste, such as cans, bottles and some plastic things which aren’t broken down quickly. It makes the environment look very bad. However, air pollution is more serious than land pollution. It is much worse in cities and towns because of the fumes(废气) from traffic and the waste from human activities. When people drive their cars, fumes which are most made up of CO2, NO2 and SO2 are given off. After the gases get into the air, they may mix with clouds. Then they will become some harmful chemicals (化合物) falling on the ground with rain. It is one of the reasons for soil erosion (土壤侵蚀) which is one example of water pollution.
Various kinds of pollution will cause many health problems. People have realized they must change this serious situation. There are many ways to control pollution. To develop alternative energy is very popular in many countries. China, for example, has made up its mind to be a leader in this field. It is trying hard to make full use of energy from the sun and wind. It has paid plenty of money to make electric cars and trains instead of traditional traffic. We should also take action to make our environment cleaner every day. Take cloth bags while going shopping and drive cars less. We have only one earth.
