But scientists say taking photos is not always a perfect memory tool. Dr. Harris, a memory researcher, explains: “Taking too many pictures can distract the brain. You get the photo, but you may miss the moment.” It works in two ways. First, when we know a camera will “remember” for us, our brain stops trying. Second, while focusing on the phone—light, angle, filter—we are not really looking at the sea, the friend, or the sunset. For example, if you type a phone number into your phone at once, you are less likely to remember it, because your brain says, “No need to keep it.” But photo-takers need not give up. Here is how to make photos help: • Be a listener, not a photographer. At a family party, let someone else take pictures so you can talk and feel the moment. • Notice details before shooting. Look at the colour of the sky, the smell of the food, the sound in the room. That noticing itself builds memory. • Revisit your photos. A photo helps only when you open the album later and say, “Oh, yes, that was the day Grandma laughed.” 1. What may happen if you take too many photos? A. Your phone will remember everything for you. B. Your brain may remember the moment better. C. You may get photos but miss the real memory. D. You will never forget the sunset. 2. Why are we less likely to remember a number we just typed into a phone? A. Because the phone is too small. B. Because the brain thinks it does not need to keep it. C. Because numbers are always boring. D. Because the battery is low. 3. How many tips does the writer give to make photos helpful? A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five. 4. What does the writer think of taking photos? A. It is useless and should be stopped. B. It is always better than seeing with eyes. C. It can help if we use it in the right way. D. It is only for professional photographers. 5. Which saying best matches the passage? A. A picture is worth a thousand words—always true. B. The best camera is the one you never put down. C. Live the moment; let the photo serve the memory. D. Forget the past and take a new photo every day. 五、选词填空 阅读短文，从方框中选出恰当的单词并用其适当形式填空，使短文通顺、意义完整。每空仅填一词，每词仅用一次。 stable, anxiety, divide, recognize, tell, boost, effective, discuss, recall, sadness Last term, I joined a cross-school study camp.

We cannot stop time, but we can learn something warm from the way old people remember. We must not be afraid of a grandparent’s confusion. When Grandpa calls you by another name, smile and answer. Forgetting a word is not the same as forgetting love. Many old people who cannot recall what they ate for lunch can still sing a nursery rhyme from 1948. Memory loss is not shameful. We should accept it and learn to walk with it. When Granny repeats a story for the third time, sit down and listen again. Maybe the story carries a feeling she needs to say out loud. If we hurry away, we lose the chance to hold her hand while she is still here. We should face memory changes calmly. Not every old person becomes ill; some simply keep the big things and drop the small ones. If we congratulate them on the happy parts they still remember, they will not feel sorry for what they forgot. In a word, being a patient listener helps both the elder and us. It may be tiring sometimes, but the advantages are real. Good listeners become the memory of the people they love. 1. What can many old people still do even if they forget what they ate for lunch? ________________________________________________________________ 2. What does the underlined word “confusion” probably mean in Paragraph 2? ________________________________________________________________ 3. What does the writer advise us to do when Granny repeats a story? ________________________________________________________________ 4. What is the best title for the passage? ________________________________________________________________ 5. Share one real or imagined experience: how did you help an old person with their memory? ________________________________________________________________ 七、书面表达 某校英语校刊正在征集题为 “The Memory That Changed Me” 的短文。请结合 Unit 4 Our Memory 话题，写一篇英语短文投稿。 提示： 1. 简要描述这段记忆发生的时间、地点和经过； 2. 谈谈它对你学习或做人的影响 / 感悟； 3. 词数 100 词左右； 4. 逻辑清晰，包含至少 1 个宾语从句。 The Memory That Changed Me ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 参考答案 一、单项选择 1.

She took out an old letter and told me how she had saved money for years to buy a dictionary for my father. I didn’t know that such a small book meant so much. From that moment, I understood why she never threw old things away. The memory changed me because I learned that objects are not just objects—they carry love and hard times. Now I review my notes not only for exams, but to remember who I am and where I come from. I also believe that a good memory is not just a sharp brain; it is a thankful heart. Whenever I want to give up, I recall Grandma’s letter and keep going. 1 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
