Scientist Elizabeth Loftus of the Unive
24、rsity of California at Irvine asked volunteers to answer some questions on their personalities and food experiences. “One week later,” Loftus says, “we told those people wed fed their answers into our smart computer and it came up with an account of their early childhood experiences.” Some accounts
25、included one key additional detail. “You got sick after eating strawberry ice-cream.” The researchers then changed this detail into a manufactured (人为促成的 ) memory through leading questions - Who were you with How did you feel By the end of the study, up to 41% of those given a false memory believed
26、strawberry ice-cream once made them sick, and many said theyd avoid eating it. When Loftus published her findings, she started getting calls from people begging her to make them remember hating chocolate or French fries. Unfortunately, its not that easy. False memories appear to work only for foods
27、you dont eat on a regular basis. But most importantly, it is likely that false memories can be implanted (灌输 ) only in people who are unaware of the mental control. And lying to a patient is immoral(不道德的 ), even if a doctor believes its for the patients benefit. Loftus says theres nothing to stop pa
28、rents from trying it with their overweight children. “I say, wake up - parents have been lying about Father Christmas for years, and nobody seems to mind.

32、s moral. 答案： 【小题 1】 B 【小题 2】 C 【小题 3】 A 【小题 4】 D 【小题 1】推理题。根据第一段内容可知 Loftus问问题就是为了获得更多的细节，然后输入电脑进行研究。 【小题 2】细节题。根据第一段倒数第三行 up to 41% of those given a false memory believed strawberry ice-cream once made them sick可知人们考试相信一些错误的事情。 【小题 3】推理题 。根据第一段内容可知一些人避免吃一种食物是因为他们认为指这种食物让他们有不好的经历，就如第一段中提及的吃了草莓冰激凌让他生
33、病这样的事情，会让一些人不再吃草莓冰激凌。 【小题 4】推理题。根据第二段 4,5行 And lying to a patient is immoral(不道德的 ), even if a doctor believes its for the patients benefit. 可知这种方法最大的担心就是是否道德。 When a Swedish ship that sank in 1628 was recovered from the port of Stockholm, historians and scientists were overjoyed with the chance to

38、rts. The second enemy is dredging machines(挖掘机） often used to repair ports. These machines destroy wrecks and artifacts or bury them deeper under sand and mud.
