I was already very tired and had an important call scheduled for an hour after I was set to get home.But then I heard the announcement,"It seems we have overbooked the flight.Would anyone care to volunteer to stay for the later departure in 4 hours?"And the gate attendant was anxiously waiting for someone to volunteer. I looked around and saw businessmen needing to work,moms needing to meet their kids,kids needing to see their friends.Even though I wanted to be home just as much as anyone,something inside me said that I should extend some kindness to this group of strangers.

There are countless reasons why tiny mistakes might happen each time we recall past events,ranging from what we believe is true or wish were true,to what someone else told us about the past event,or what we want that person to think.And whenever 高一英语试卷第7页（共14页) these mistakes happen,they can have long-tcrm effects on how we'll recall that memory in the future. Take storytclling for example.When we describe our memories to other people, we might ask ourselves whether it's vital to get the facts straight,or whether we only want to make the listcner laugh.And we might change the story's details depending on the listener's attitudes.It isn't only the message that changes,but sometimes it's also the memory itself.This is known as the "audience-tuning effect",showing us how our memories can change automatically over time,as a product of how,when, and why we access them. In fact,sometimes simply the act of rehearsing (a memory can be exactly what makes it susceptible(易受影响的)to change.This is known as“retrieval-- enhanced suggestibility"In a typical study of this effect,participants watched a short film.then took a memory test a few days later.But during the days between watching the film and taking the final test,two other things happened.First,half of the participants took a practice memory test.Second,all of the participants were given a description of the film to read,which contained some false details.Participants who took a practice memory test shortly before reading the false information were more likely to reproduce this false information in the final memory test. Why might this be?One theory is that rehearsing our memories of past events can temporarily make those memories malleable.In other words,retrieving ()a memory might be a bit like taking ice-cream out of the freezer and leaving it in direct sunlight for a while.By the time our memory goes back into the freezer,it might have naturally become a little misshapen,especially if someone has influenced it purposely in the meantime. These findings lead us to wonder how much our most treasured memories have changed since the very first time we remembered them.Remembering is an act of storytelling,after all.And our memories are only ever as reliable as the most recent story we told ourselves. 商一英语试卷第8页（共14页) 38.According to the "audience-tuning effect",our memories can A.change our personal identity B.correct mistakes on their own C.determine our attitudes to others D.be affected by how we handle them 39.What can we infer from the study of"retrieval-enhanced suggestibility"? A.Practice can make imperfect. B.Storytelling brings back memories. C.Rehearsing contributes to better memories. D.Memory abilities vary from person to person. 40.What does the underlined word "malleable"in Paragraph 5 probably mean? A.Acceptable. B.Valuable. C.Changeable. D.Controllable. D At university,when I told people I was studying for a history degree,the response was almost always the same,"You want to be a teacher?"No,a journalist. "Oh.But you're not majoring in communications?" In the days when a university education was a privilege,perhaps there wasn't the assumption that a degree had to be a springboard directly into a career.Those days are long gone.Today,a degree is all but a necessity for the job market,one that more than halves your chances of being unemployed.Still,that alone is no guarantee of a job and yet we're paying more and more for one. Given those costs,most of us want to maximize that investment and that can lead to a plug-and-play type of approach to higher education.Want to be a journalist? Study journalism,we're told.A lawyer?Pursue pre-law.Not totally sure?Go into STEM(Science,Technology,Engineer and Maths)-you can become an engineer or an IT expert.And no matter what you do,forget the humanities,such as history, philosophy and languages. It's true that the humanities come with a higher risk of unemployment,but the risk is slighter than you would imagine.For young people in the U.S.,the 高一英语试卷第9页（共14页) unemployment rate of those with humanities degrees is four percent,just a little more than that of engineering degree holders.Lower salaries may not be caused by the degree itself either.The gender pay gap persists in the humanities,'whose graduates are more likely to be female.Is it any wonder then that language teachers tend to make less than engineers? According to LinkedIn's research on the most sought-after job skills by employers for 2019,the ability to communicate and get along with people,to understand what's on other people's minds,and to do full-strength critical analysis were all valued and appreciated.It goes without saying that you can be an excellent communicator and critical thinker without a humanities degree.And any good university education,not just one in English or psychology,should sharpen these abilities further.But few courses of study are quite as heavy on reading,writing, speaking and critical thinking as the humanities,whether that's by debating other students in a seminar,writing a thesis paper or analyzing poetry. The whole question of whether a student should choose STEM versus the humanities might be misguided to begin with.The headlines most of us see don't help.Whatever a student pursues in university,it must be something that they are not only good at,but interested in.Even if it means pursuing a"useless"degree,like one in humanities. 41.Why are people paying more and more for a degree? A.Because people need a degree to further their career. B.Because university education is considered a privilege. C.Because a degree is viewed as a must for landing a job. D.Because their interest can be developed in university 42.The author mentioned a plug-and-play type of approach to show A.a tip for choosing a major B.the importance of higher education C.a problem that exists among STEM graduates D.the reason why people overlook the humanities 高一英语试卷第10页（共14页)
