However not everyone has a good memory. Besides, to forget things is not al- ways a bad thing. As a matter of fact, to f
25、orget certain things may help you remember more useful and meaningful things. I am sure everyone has this experience, that is, when you have learned something and remembered it, the memory will stay in your mind and you refuse to accept new ideas about it. If you find what you have remembered wrong,
26、 it is even more difficult to forget. In this sense, it is easier to remember new things than cast away wrong memories. There are things that you forget permanently (永久地 ) and things you forget only temporarily (暂时地 ). For instance (例子 ) , sometimes when you are doing mathematics, you just cannot th
27、ink of a certain formula (公式 ). Or sometimes when you come across a friend, his name just escapes you. They are examples of temporary loss of memory. When this happens, you had better try to do some- thing else. And if you return to the maths some time later, you can most probably remember the formu
28、la. Needless to say you must try hard to get rid of wrong memories. But sometimes it is also necessary to forget forever things that are correct. For example, we may have watched hundreds of films since childhood. If we remember every film ( though this is not highly possible) , we will not be able
29、to remember a lot of other things. That is why many films are gradually forgotten as time passes. Yet at the same time, we continue to remember new things. So remembering, forget- ting, forgetting, remembering, this is the cycle (循环 ) of our mind. 56 Getting rid of wrong memories is _. （ A） much eas
30、ier than remembering new things （ B） as difficult as accepting new ideas （ C） as easy as accepting new ideas （ D） more difficult than remembering new things 57 When you forget something temporarily, you may_. （ A） put it aside and ask for help （ B） cast it away and forget it （ C） do some other thing
31、s and return to it later （ D） think it hard and try to remember it 58 If you find what you have remembered wrong, you must_. （ A） keep it in mind （ B） get rid of it （ C） do something else （ D） remember it forever 59 A library is a building for a collection of books, magazines, periodicals and newspa

33、 the card catalog (目录 ) and ask the librarian to take them out for you. Or youre allowed to enter the stack room to find the books for yourself. If the library doesnt keep the magazine which carries the article you want, you can borrow the magazine from the other libraries by means of interlibrary l
34、oan service. Dont forget to show your library card or I.D. card to the librarian before you go into the reading room, where you can read magazines or newspapers. If you find a good article and want to keep it, you can have it duplicated in the Xerox room. Be- sides, if you want to watch films or sli
