38、Suggestions for how Christmas should be celebrated. 63 There are three kinds of memory: sense memory, working memory, and long-term memory.

39、t now is stored here. Perhaps you feel the sun on your face or smell the aroma(香味 ) of food. Sense memories last only a few seconds, but they connect one moment to the next. They give your life a flow, even though they are quickly forgotten. You keep a few items(条目 ) in working memory. These are mem
40、ories you need for what you are doing. Suppose you look up a friends telephone number in the phone book. Youll probably remember the number for a little while. But if you get distracted (分神 ), you might quickly forget it. A memory usually stays in your working memory for just a few days at most. Wor
41、king memory has another limit, too. Only a small number of items fit into it at any given time. Memories you want to keep for a long time go into your long-term memory. They can stay with you all your life. In long-term memory, you can store a huge number of items. Can you re member how to play your
42、 favorite game? Do you recall your first birthday party? If so, you are bringing up memories that are stored in your long-term memory.
