Frank Caprio is a well-known judge who has gained popularity for his caring and understanding approach in the courtroom. Born on November 23, 1936, Caprio serves as the Chief Judge of the Providence Municipal Court in Rhode Island, USA.
His trials have been turned into a television program called “Caught in Providence”, which airs on local Fox stations and presents his work.
Caprio’s decisions often reflect a mixture of legal strictness and human warmth. He is known for his merciful judgments and his ability to connect with the people before him. For instance, in one case, a 96-year-old man was brought before Caprio for speeding in a school zone. The elderly man explained that he was driving his 63-year-old son, who has cancer, to a blood test. After hearing the man’s story, Caprio responded with sympathy, highlighting the man’s dedication to his family at an advanced age.
Judge Caprio has been called “the warmest judge” by his admirers because of his way of handling justice. His trials prove that the law can be applied with understanding and mercy, which has made him a beloved figure both in the United States and around the world.
Another heartwarming example is that Caprio once canceled a double fine for a truck driver who hadn’t got a notice for a previous fine. After the case was dismissed, the driver shared that 20 years ago, as a lost teenager, Caprio had asked him about his future dreams during a trial, a question that marked a turning point in the driver’s life.
Caprio’s story is not just about his role as a judge but also about how a single kind act can affect someone’s life. His way of working as a judge shows that justice can be done with sympathy and that sometimes a kind word can change a person’s path for the better.
4. What makes Frank Caprio popular?
A. His appearances in a TV program.
B. His ability to solve complex legal cases.
C His balance of mercy and justice in trials.
D. His strict legal decisions in the courtroom.
5. Which word can best describe Judge Caprio in dealing with the speeding case?
A. Flexible. B. Stubborn. C. Generous. D. Passionate.
6. What lasting impact did Judge Caprio have on the truck driver?
A. He taught the driver the importance of obeying traffic laws.
B. He inspired the driver to map out his future life path.
C. He eased the driver’s financial burden by canceling the fine.
D. He encouraged the driver to take responsibility for his actions.
7. What is the best title for the text?

细节理解题。根据第一段中“Frank Caprio is a well-known judge who has gained popularity for his caring and understanding approach in the courtroom. (Frank Caprio是一位著名的法官,他因在法庭上充满关怀和理解的态度而广受欢迎)”和第四段中“His trials prove that the law can be applied with understanding and mercy, which has made him a beloved figure both in the United States and around the world. (他的审判证明,法律可以在理解和仁慈的基础上得到执行,这使他成为美国和世界各地备受爱戴的人物)”可知,他的受欢迎源于他在审判中平衡了仁慈与正义。故选C项。
【5题详解】
推理判断题。根据第三段中“The elderly man explained that he was driving his 63-year-old son, who has cancer, to a blood test. After hearing the man’s story, Caprio responded with sympathy, highlighting the man’s dedication to his family at an advanced age. (这位老人解释说,他当时正开车载着他63岁、患有癌症的儿子去做血液检查。听完老人的讲述后,Caprio表现出同情,并赞扬了老人在高龄时仍对家庭如此奉献的精神)”可知,Caprio没有机械地执行法律,而是根据老人的特殊情况表现出理解和同情。这反映了他对案件的个性化考量,他是灵活的。故选A项。
【6题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段中“After the case was dismissed, the driver shared that 20 years ago, as a lost teenager, Caprio had asked him about his future dreams during a trial, a question that marked a turning point in the driver’s life. (案件被撤销后,这位司机分享道,20年前,当他还是一个迷茫的少年时,Caprio在一次审判中询问了他关于未来梦想的问题,这个问题成为了他人生中的一个转折点)”可知,Caprio的言行对司机产生了深远影响,激励他规划未来。故选B项。

(Caprio的故事不仅仅关于他作为法官的角色,还关于一个善意的举动如何影响一个人的一生。他作为法官的工作方式表明,正义可以在同情的基础上实现,有时一句温暖的话语就能改变一个人的命运,使其走向更好的方向)”可知,文章主要讲述了Caprio在法庭上如何通过同情和理解来执行法律,展现了他在审判中的人性化一面。因此,D项“法庭上法官的人性”契合文章主旨,适合作为文章标题。故选D项。
C
What’s the oldest meal you’ve eaten? Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago? What if you ate a 60-day-old stew? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup?
Perpetual (永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. There have been some famous examples. This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years.
This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages but thankfully, our understanding of food safety has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided. Some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated.
Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months- or years-old perpetual stew.
8. What do we know about perpetual stew?
A. It is the basis of modern meals. B. It is continuously cooked.
C. It is a popular social trend. D. It is served in portions.
9. Why does the author list examples of perpetual stew in paragraph 2?
A. To exhibit its diverse forms. B. To introduce its history.
C. To show its popularity. D. To explain its working principles.
10. Which of the following is a concern about perpetual stew according to the passage?
A. Loss of flavor. B. Lack of nutrition.
C. Hotbed for bacteria. D. Rises in poisonousness.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward perpetual stew?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Critical.
【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. C
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了“永久炖菜”,即一种持续加热、不断添加新食材的烹饪方式,并列举了其历史、各种形式以及关于其安全性的争议。
【8题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“Perpetual (永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. (永久炖菜是一种从未停止加热、也从未完成的菜肴。随着部分被食用,新的食材会被加入锅中以替换被吃掉的部分。一天的炖菜会成为接下来几天餐食的基础)”可知,永久炖菜的特点是持续烹饪。故选B项。
【9题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中“This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years. (今年,Annie Rauwerda的60天炖菜在社交媒体上引起了轰动。曼谷一家餐厅声称,他们的牛肉面汤从20世纪70年代就开始持续烹饪。有人认为,永久炖菜是中世纪欧洲的传统,当时生火需要耗费大量精力,因此火会整天燃烧,而一锅炖菜则始终在其上缓慢沸腾。《纽约时报》的一篇文章提到,诺曼底有一锅炖菜持续烹饪了300年)”可知,这里列举了各地的永久炖菜,包括Annie Rauwerda的60天炖菜、曼谷一家餐厅的牛肉面汤以及诺曼底持续烹饪300年的炖菜。这些例子展示了永久炖菜丰富多样的形式。故选A项。
【10题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated. (人们还担心,一些蔬菜,如土豆或含有硝酸盐的蔬菜,加热得越久,毒性就越大)”可知,对永久炖菜的一个担忧是毒性增加。故选D项。
【11题详解】
推理判断题。通读全文可知,作者在文章中既提到了永久炖菜的历史和各种形式,也讨论了其安全性问题,并未表现出明显的偏好或倾向,而是以客观的(Objective)态度呈现信息。故选C项。
D
Imagine a way to produce meat without killing animals. Instead of raising livestock on farms, Uma Valeti, a cardiologist, and co-founder of Upside Foods, dreamed of a way to “grow” meat by cultivating (培养) animal cells (细胞).
The idea for what’s now called “cultivated” meat came to Valeti when he was working with heart attack patients at the Mayo Clinic more than 15 years ago, growing human heart cells in a lab. It should be possible to grow meat with similar science, he realized. Scientists could take cells from an animal by a needle biopsy (切片检查), place them in tanks, feed them the nutrients they need to reproduce, including fats, sugar, amino acids and vitamins, and end up with meat.
It has taken years of experimentation by a crew of biologists, biochemists and engineers to turn that idea into a product ready to eat. Now the company is awaiting a greenlight from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin selling its first cultivated meat products, including a chicken fillet (without bone).
After four years of talks with regulators at the FDA Valeti expects this could happen “in the very near future”. When it does, Upside’s production facility in Emeryville, California, will be able to produce over 50,000 pounds of cultivated meat products per year.
For Valeti, the potential benefits of cultivated meat are too important not to try to overcome the current obstacles. He sees a future with a better choice to the current system of producing meat, and he’s determined to create it. Valeti says, at last, as a doctor he might have been able to help a few thousand patients during his career. But, by taking the great step to cultivated meat, with its potential promise to surpass meat production, he believes he can have a larger impact. “This could literally affect billions of human lives and save potentially trillions of animal lives,” Valeti says.
12. What made Valeti come to the idea of making cultivated meat?
A. His heart attack patients’ inspiring advice.
B. The inspiration from growing human heart cell.
C. His dreaming about a way to grow meat.
D. The thought of helping his heart attack patients.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. The company is waiting for the permission from FDA.
B. The idea of cultivated meat turned into a product easily.
C. Chicken fillets will be very popular in the future.
D. FDA is a big company that makes and sells cultivated meat.
14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The cultivated meat is very popular among young people.
B. Valeti has helped many patients with cultivated meat.
C. Valeti is producing cultivated meat to avoid killing many animals.
D. It will take decades before enormous cultivated meat is produced.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A cardiologist’s work on heart cell research.
B. FDA’s regulation of traditional meat.
C. Environmental issues in traditional livestock farming.
D. Producing meat by cell cultivation and its benefits.
【答案】12. B 13. A 14. C 15. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了心脏病专家Uma Valeti提出通过培养动物细胞来生产肉类的想法,该公司正等待FDA批准销售产品,还阐述了这种方式生产肉类的潜在好处。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“The idea for what’s now called “cultivated” meat came to Valeti when he was working with heart attack patients at the Mayo Clinic more than 15 years ago, growing human heart cells in a lab. It should be possible to grow meat with similar science, he realized.(15 年多前,当瓦莱蒂在梅奥诊所为心脏病患者工作,在实验室里培养人类心脏细胞时,他产生了现在所谓的“培养肉”的想法。他意识到,用类似的科学方法来培育肉类应该是可行的)”可知,是培养人类心脏细胞的启发让Valeti有了制作培养肉的想法。故选B项。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段中“Now the company is awaiting a greenlight from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin selling its first cultivated meat products, including a chicken fillet (without bone).(现在,该公司正在等待美国食品药品监督管理局(FDA)的批准,以便开始销售其首批培养肉产品,包括无骨鸡柳)”可知,该公司正在等待FDA的许可。故选A项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据第一段中“Imagine a way to produce meat without killing animals. Instead of raising livestock on farms, Uma Valeti, a cardiologist, and co founder of Upside Foods, dreamed of a way to “grow” meat by cultivating (培养) animal cells (细胞).(想象一种不杀死动物就能生产肉类的方法。心脏病专家、Upside Foods联合创始人Uma Valeti没有在农场饲养牲畜,而是梦想通过培养动物细胞来“种植”肉类)”可知,Valeti生产培养肉是为了避免杀死很多动物,所以C项“Valeti is producing cultivated meat to avoid killing many animals.”是正确表述。故选C项。
【15题详解】
主旨大意题。通读全文,根据第一段“Imagine a way to produce meat without killing animals. Instead of raising livestock on farms, Uma Valeti, a cardiologist, and co founder of Upside Foods, dreamed of a way to “grow” meat by cultivating (培养) animal cells (细胞).(想象一种不杀死动物就能生产肉类的方法。心脏病专家、Upside Foods联合创始人乌玛·瓦莱蒂没有在农场饲养牲畜,而是梦想通过培养动物细胞来“种植”肉类)”和最后一段“For Valeti, the potential benefits of cultivated meat are too important not to try to overcome the current obstacles.(对瓦莱蒂来说,培养肉的潜在好处太重要了,以至于不能不努力克服目前的障碍)”可知,文章主要介绍了通过细胞培养生产肉类及其好处。故选D项。
第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)
阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Do you have an important or favorite memory from the past? Perhaps it was clapping for goals. ____16____ By sharing our memories, we can feel closer to other people and more positive about what we've been through.
How does memory work?
Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term or working memory, which stays in your brain for only 15-30 seconds. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years.
____17____ Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to recognize faces. These types of memories can be short or long term. Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown, and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are emotional memories. ____18____
Why are memories important?
Memories tell you the story of yourself. Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. ____19____ “If I miss seeing my grandparents, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there.” Heidi, 12, told The Week.
____20____ When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as friends or family, and talking with them. By telling a funny or embarrassing story-perhaps the time the dog stole the Christmas ham -we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome, large or small. By sharing similar or not-so-similar experiences, we empathize with and understand one another better.
A. There are many uses for memory.
B. Memories can help you own wellbeing.
C. Shared memories can connect you to others.
D. Time cannot erase his memories of the past.
E. Memories can also help you manage feelings.
F. Or it was seeing rainbow pictures in the windows.
G. They are long term and can sometimes last a lifetime.
【答案】16. F 17. A 18. G 19. E 20. C
【解析】
【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍记忆是如何工作的以及记忆为什么是重要的。
【16题详解】
根据上文提示“Perhaps it was clapping for goals.(或许是正在为了目标鼓掌)”由此可知,C项Or it was seeing rainbow pictures in the windows.(或许是在窗子里看彩虹)与上文句子结构并列。回答第一句提出的问题。故选F。
【17题详解】
根据下文提示“Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to recognize faces. These types of memories can be short or long term. Emotional memories recall how you felt about something and can be strong and powerful. (运动技能记忆帮助你记住怎样去骑车;事实记忆帮助你辨别面孔;这些记忆类型可能是短期的,也可能是长期的。情感记忆会唤醒你对于某事感受如何,并且这些记忆会变得记忆深刻)”由此可知,下文是分别例举记忆的有点与用处。下文的分句中的“help”与选项中“many uses”相互呼应。故选A。
【18题详解】
根据上文提示“Remembering the sadness of missing your friends during lockdown, and being happy and excited to see them again afterwards, are emotional memories.(想起禁闭期间想念朋友的悲伤,以及禁闭后再次见到他们的快乐和兴奋,都是情感记忆。)”由此可知,G项They are long term and can sometimes last a lifetime.(它们是长期的,有时可以持续一生)切题。该项中的they指代的就是上文中的emotional memories。故选G。
【19题详解】
根据下文提示““If I miss seeing my grandparents, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there(如果我错过了见到我的祖父母,我会想起和他们一起待在德文郡,它会使我开心,就像我在那一样)”。结合小标题“Why are memories important?(为什么记忆是重要的)”可知,本段主要通过强调记忆可以改变人的心情。联系选项与E项中“manage feelings"呼应。故选E。
【20题详解】
根据下文提示“By telling a funny or embarrassing story-perhaps the time the dog stole the Christmas ham -we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome, large or small. By sharing similar or not-so-similar experiences, we empathize with and (通过讲一个有趣或尴尬的故事——也许是狗偷圣诞火腿的时候——我们分享喜悦的感觉,或者承认克服了大大小小的困难。通过分享相似或不太相似的经历,我们可以更好地相互同情和理解。)”由此可知,分享记忆有助于提升幸福感,B项Memories can help you own wellbeing.(记忆可以帮助你获得幸福)切题。

Nobody likes to spend money on a new book only to face disappointment when it doesn’t live up to your expectations. Here are the best book review sites to help you avoid buying books that you’ll regret reading.

Fantasy Book Review
Fantasy Book Review should be high on the list for anyone who is a fan of fantasy works. The book review site publishes reviews for both children’s books and adults’ books. It has a section on the top fantasy books of all time.
Booklist
Booklist is a print magazine that also offers an online portal. Trusted experts from the American Library Association write all the book reviews. You can see parts of reviews for different books. However, to read them in full, you will need to subscribe.
YouTube
YouTube is not the type of place that immediately springs to mind when you think of the best book review sites online. However, there are several engaging YouTube channels that frequently offer opinions on books they’ve read.
Although it’s easy to be attracted by an impressive book cover, it’s always best to have a quick look at the book reviews before actually buying a copy. This way, you can save your money and spend it on the books that you’ll be proud to display on your shelves for a long time.

Frank Caprio is a well-known judge who has gained popularity for his caring and understanding approach in the courtroom. Born on November 23, 1936, Caprio serves as the Chief Judge of the Providence Municipal Court in Rhode Island, USA.
His trials have been turned into a television program called “Caught in Providence”, which airs on local Fox stations and presents his work.
Caprio’s decisions often reflect a mixture of legal strictness and human warmth. He is known for his merciful judgments and his ability to connect with the people before him. For instance, in one case, a 96-year-old man was brought before Caprio for speeding in a school zone. The elderly man explained that he was driving his 63-year-old son, who has cancer, to a blood test. After hearing the man’s story, Caprio responded with sympathy, highlighting the man’s dedication to his family at an advanced age.
Judge Caprio has been called “the warmest judge” by his admirers because of his way of handling justice. His trials prove that the law can be applied with understanding and mercy, which has made him a beloved figure both in the United States and around the world.
Another heartwarming example is that Caprio once canceled a double fine for a truck driver who hadn’t got a notice for a previous fine. After the case was dismissed, the driver shared that 20 years ago, as a lost teenager, Caprio had asked him about his future dreams during a trial, a question that marked a turning point in the driver’s life.
Caprio’s story is not just about his role as a judge but also about how a single kind act can affect someone’s life. His way of working as a judge shows that justice can be done with sympathy and that sometimes a kind word can change a person’s path for the better.

What’s the oldest meal you’ve eaten? Maybe you’ve had leftovers from a few days ago. They probably still tasted good. But what if it wasn’t a few days ago? What if you ate a 60-day-old stew? Or a 49-year-old beef noodle soup?
Perpetual (永久的) stew is a dish that is never taken off the heat; it’s never finished. As portions are served, new ingredients are added to the pot to replace them. One day’s stew becomes the basis of the following days’ meals. There have been some famous examples. This year, Annie Rauwerda’s 60-day stew became a social media sensation. One Bangkok restaurant claims to have been cooking its beef noodle soup since the 1970s. It has been suggested that perpetual stew was a tradition in Medieval Europe, when the effort required to start a fire meant that they were left to burn all day, and a pot of stew was always boiling slowly on top of it. One New York Times article tells us about a stew in Normandy that was kept cooking for 300 years.
This tradition may date back to the Middle Ages, but thankfully, our understanding of food safety has developed since then. In a world where food is often thrown away once it reaches its use-by date, many people have asked how safe perpetual stew can actually be. Experts are divided. Some maintain that as long as the stew is kept bubbling away at a temperature too high for bacteria to survive, it should be safe. Others suggest that meat can become dangerous if it’s left in the stew for too long. Concerns have also been raised that some vegetables, such as potatoes, or those containing nitrates (硝酸盐), could become more poisonous the more they are reheated.
Advocates of slow cooking believe that the best food takes time, but even they may be surprised by a months- or years-old perpetual stew.
8. What do we know about perpetual stew?
A. It is the basis of modern meals. B. It is continuously cooked.
C. It is a popular social trend. D. It is served in portions.
9. Why does the author list examples of perpetual stew in paragraph 2?
A. To exhibit its diverse forms. B. To introduce its history.
C. To show its popularity. D. To explain its working principles.
10. Which of the following is a concern about perpetual stew according to the passage?
A. Loss of flavor. B. Lack of nutrition.
C. Hotbed for bacteria. D. Rises in poisonousness.
11. What is the author’s attitude toward perpetual stew?
A. Favorable. B. Doubtful. C. Objective. D. Critical.
D
Imagine a way to produce meat without killing animals. Instead of raising livestock on farms, Uma Valeti, a cardiologist, and co-founder of Upside Foods, dreamed of a way to “grow” meat by cultivating (培养) animal cells (细胞).
The idea for what’s now called “cultivated” meat came to Valeti when he was working with heart attack patients at the Mayo Clinic more than 15 years ago, growing human heart cells in a lab. It should be possible to grow meat with similar science, he realized. Scientists could take cells from an animal by a needle biopsy (切片检查), place them in tanks, feed them the nutrients they need to reproduce, including fats, sugar, amino acids and vitamins, and end up with meat.
It has taken years of experimentation by a crew of biologists, biochemists and engineers to turn that idea into a product ready to eat. Now the company is awaiting a greenlight from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to begin selling its first cultivated meat products, including a chicken fillet (without bone).
After four years of talks with regulators at the FDA, Valeti expects this could happen “in the very near future”. When it does, Upside’s production facility in Emeryville, California, will be able to produce over 50,000 pounds of cultivated meat products per year.
For Valeti, the potential benefits of cultivated meat are too important not to try to overcome the current obstacles. He sees a future with a better choice to the current system of producing meat, and he’s determined to create it. Valeti says, at last, as a doctor he might have been able to help a few thousand patients during his career. But, by taking the great step to cultivated meat, with its potential promise to surpass meat production, he believes he can have a larger impact. “This could literally affect billions of human lives and save potentially trillions of animal lives,” Valeti says.
12. What made Valeti come to the idea of making cultivated meat?
A. His heart attack patients’ inspiring advice.
B. The inspiration from growing human heart cell.
C. His dreaming about a way to grow meat.
D. The thought of helping his heart attack patients.
13. What can we learn from Paragraph 3?
A. The company is waiting for the permission from FDA.
B. The idea of cultivated meat turned into a product easily.
C. Chicken fillets will be very popular in the future.
D. FDA is a big company that makes and sells cultivated meat.
14. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The cultivated meat is very popular among young people.
B. Valeti has helped many patients with cultivated meat.
C. Valeti is producing cultivated meat to avoid killing many animals.
D. It will take decades before enormous cultivated meat is produced.
15. What is the passage mainly about?
A. A cardiologist’s work on heart cell research.
B. FDA’s regulation of traditional meat.
C. Environmental issues in traditional livestock farming.
D. Producing meat by cell cultivation and its benefits.

Do you have an important or favorite memory from the past? Perhaps it was clapping for goals. ____16____ By sharing our memories we can feel closer to other people and more positive about what we've been through.
How does memory work?
Scientists believe there are two levels of memory. One is short-term or working memory, which stays in your brain for only 15-30 seconds. The other level is long-term or permanent memory, which can be stored for days, months or even years.
____17____ Motor-skill memories help you remember how to ride a bike; factual memories help you to recognize faces. These types of memories can be short or long term.

Why are memories important?
Memories tell you the story of yourself. Information such as which school you go to and who your friends are is stored inside your brain, ready for when you need it. ____19____ “If I miss seeing my grandparents, I remember staying with them in Devon. It makes me feel happy, like when I was there.” Heidi, 12, told The Week.
____20____ When people think of shared experience, what usually comes to mind is being with close others, such as friends or family, and talking with them. By telling a funny or embarrassing story-perhaps the time the dog stole the Christmas ham -we share feelings of joy or recognition of difficulties overcome, large or small. By sharing similar or not-so-similar experiences, we empathize with and understand one another better.
