(2011·全国卷)“I didn't hear them call my name.” explained Shelley Hennig to Active Teens (AT) as she talked about that exciting moment on national television when she won the honor of Miss Teen USA 2004.“Are you ready？” is what she heard.Then she said, “I shook my head no, and then they said ‘yes' and it was announced again.”
It was four days after that life changing moment for the seventeenyearold high school student from Destrehan, Louisiana—she was still on_cloud_nine.
“I was so shocked! I never believed that it could actually really happen.” Present in the audience (观众) that day were: her mother and father, older brother, her friends, and her dance teacher.
Understanding why members of her family and her friends would be there, AT asked why her dance teacher had traveled so far to see her compete (比赛)．“She's always been my role model.I've danced with her since I was six.She's been through so many difficulties and came through them all.I've learned to get over bad life's experiences and learned how to move on because of her.”
One of those bad life's experiences for Shelley happened three years ago when her brother Brad was killed in a drunk driving accident.He was 18.She found writing helped her get through the rough days.She said, “I write a lot about my brother.I write a lot, a lot, a lot...”
As Miss Louisiana Teen, she traveled around the state speaking to teens (青少年) about the dangers of drinking and driving.In her role as Miss Teen USA, Shelley will continue to speak to youth about safe driving, in addition to many other things to help the youth.
When AT asked Miss Teen USA if she had any advice for our readers, she said, “Don't let anyone change you.Hang out with people that make you feel good about yourself.That way, it is easy to be yourself.”

(2024·北京海淀区期末练习)It's time for forgetting to get some respect, says Ben Storm, author of a new article on memory in Current Directions in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science. “We need to rethink how we're talking about forgetting and realize that under some conditions it actually does play an important role in the function of memory.” says Storm, who is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
“Memory is difficult. Thinking is difficult.” Storm says. Memories and associations accumulate rapidly. “These things could completely overrun our life and make it impossible to learn and retrieve new things if they were left alone, and could just overpower the rest of memory.” he says.
But, fortunately, that isn't what happens. “We're able to get around these strong competing inappropriate memories to remember the ones we want to recall.”Storm and other psychological scientists are trying to understand how our minds select the right things to recall—if someone's talking about beaches near Omaha, Nebraska, for example, you will naturally suppress (压制) any knowledge you've collected about Omaha Beach in Normandy.
In one kind of experiment, participants are given a list of words that have some sort of relation to each other. They might be asked to memorize a list of birds, for example. In the next part of the test, they have to do a task that requires remembering, half the birds. “That's going to make you forget the other half of the birds in that list.” Storm says. “That might seem bad—It's forgetting.”But what the research shows is that this forgetting is actually a good thing.
“People who are good at forgetting information they don't need are also good at problem solving and at remembering something when they're being distracted by other information. This shows that forgetting plays an important role in problem solving and memory.” Storm says.
There are plenty of times when forgetting makes sense in daily life. “Say you get a new cell phone and you have to get a new phone number, do you really want to remember your old phone number every time someone asks what your number is？” Storm asks. “Or where you parked your car this morning—It's important information today, but you'd better forget it when it comes time to go get your car for tomorrow afternoon's commute. We need to be able to update our memory so we can remember and think about the things that are currently relevant.”
1．With the accumulation of memories and associations，______.
A. it is impossible for us to get back the lost memory
B. we might fail to memorize more information
C. our daily life and overloaded memory could be out of control
D. inappropriate memories challenge our memory ability
2．The underlined phrase “get around” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________.
A. recall
B. strengthen
C．lose
D. avoid
3．It can be learnt from the passage that ________.
A. forgetting makes great sense to most people
B. the more you forget, the more you memorize
C. forgetting plays a part in developing memory
D. forgetful people are good at solving problems
4．Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Forgetting Is Part of Remembering.
B．Why Should People Forget.
C．How Forgetting Improves Remembering.
D．Remembering Relies on Forgetting.
答案与解析
1．B 从第二段内容尤其第二段最后一句．..if they were left alone，and could just overpower the rest of memory可知B项正确。
2．D 从第三段第二句的句意可知“get around”的含义为“avoid”(避免，避开)。
3．C 从第五段最后一句This shows that forgetting plays an important role in problem solving and memory 可知C项正确。
4．A 从第一段“We need...”可知文章最好标题为A项。
