5- Read the passage then answer the questions: (August, 2005)
Some people say they have no memory at all. But of course we all have a memory. Our memory tells us who we are and helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in the past.
In fact we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us recall faces and places. Some people have a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture.
Our verbal memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not seen written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates or recipe.
With our emotional memory, we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings, perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell, taste, touch and sound, and for performing physical movements.
We have two ways of storing any of these memories. Our short-term memory stores items for up to thirty seconds. Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may store items for a lifetime. Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term. They may forget what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance of when they were very young.
You might assume that the more we remember the better. In fact, forgetting is as important as remembering. If we remember all our unhappy times, we would become mentally ill.
A) Answer the following questions:
1-Expain in your own words why we could not survive without a memory?
2-What kinds of memory are used when we do the following?
a) play the guitar. b) feel alarmed when we smell burning.
3-Why is forgetting as essential as remembering?
B. Choose the correct answer:
4- ---------------is a word in the last paragraph that means accept as true.
a) Remember b) Record c) Assume d) Forget
5-Our short-term memory stores items for up to---------- .
a) 80 seconds b) 50 seconds c) 40 seconds d) 30 seconds
