16、onductor on the job.Strange as this behavior may be, there is a very good reason for it.

21、veBPassage 2/BIt is difficult to imagine what life would be like without memory. (78) UThe meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions, the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.
22、/UMemory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use.
