Andy felt his face get 1 and he set his pencil down anxiously (焦急地). It wasn’t the first time he handed in a blank (空白的). 2 No matter how hard he studied, nothing seemed to stay in his brain (大脑) for long. Later that day, the paper went back to them. Everybody did fine except (除了) Andy. So after school, Andy was the only one standing in Mr. Crane’s office. But Mr. Crane wasn’t in a hurry to let Andy take the exam again right away. He 3 the back wall and said, “Could you help me tidy up a bit first?” “Sure,” Andy said, as he walked to the back of the room. On the wall hung a 4 . And he found some magnets (磁铁) on the floor, each with the name of a state (州) on it. Without putting the magnets into a box, Andy stepped forward and 5 them up. “There,” Andy said and stuck the New Jersey magnet into place. “Utah was the washing machine! Michigan is...” The memory tricks (记忆窍门) seemed to appear in his mind suddenly when he was moving the pieces around. Soon, Andy placed all magnets on the map in order and it was the first time that he felt so 6 . “It is a good way to practise, right? How about coming here and trying it again tomorrow” Mr. Crane got up from his seat and said. The next day after school, Andy stopped by Mr. Crane’s 7 again. When he looked at the map, he felt more confident (自信的) and 8 the task in less time. Then, Andy said, “I guess I’ll see you tomorrow for the retake.” “How about right now? You look 9 to me,” Mr. Crane suggested: Feeling a little worried, Andy decided to have a try. Ten minutes later, he was more than glad to see an “88” on the paper.

Did those special moments really happen or did we just make them up? These questions may sound strange, but according to research, about four out of ten of us invent our first childhood memories. Rather than having experienced something, we could have made up a fake (假的) memory from videos or photos we saw. We could have been influenced by a story told to us and then we could have used someone else's memory as our own. What it means is that memories of our younger years, especially before the age of two, may be untrue. So don't always believe them. But why don't we have clear memories from that age? According to Catherine Loveday, an expert at the University of Westminster, the memories that newborn babies have are not long - lasting. This is possibly because of the fast creation of brain cells (细胞) in our early years. So why do we create fake memories? Some experts believe that there is a clear wish for a sense of self and having a story of our existence (存在). Creating memories can give us a more complete picture of our early lives. As we get older, we want to have a complete picture of our whole lives. So, the next time someone says they have a clear memory from when they were one, or even before, just remember that while it could be true, there's a chance that they just invented it at some point in their lives. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。 ( ) 1.
