18、n.CMost 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 stack called short-term memory. When yo
19、u 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 time (it can be even one hour for useless
20、 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 stored as unstable information, because you
21、r 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.But what happens when you try to recall something youve previously learned? Most times you simply cant. If I would tell you now to find the sum of the number f
22、rom 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 information already stored in your brain, so it
23、s 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 just learned many times.8. Why do most peop
24、le forget what they have just learned in one day?A. Because short-term memory plays the main role in remembering newly learned thingB. Because long-term memory plays the main role in remembering newly learned thingsC. Because most people are not clever enough to learn new thingsD. Because long-term

Unless it is bad, the answer is likely to be no. But while a shops scent may not be outstanding compared with sight
28、s and sounds, it is certainly there. And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase.A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance, via scent machines. A smell may be attractive but

Now the
31、 rise of electronic commerce (e-commerce 电子商务) has opened up famous brands to a wider audience. But while e-shops can use sights and sounds, only bricks-and-mortar stores (实体店) can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave.
