Read the passage below and choose the best answer (A, B, C or D) to each question.
Your mind's ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory. There are two
kinds of remembering, recall and recognition. For instance, you may not be able to recall the poem
you read yesterday in class, but if you see it again, you will know it instantly because you recognize
it.
Some few people have 'total recall,' often spoken of as photographic memory. A person with
total recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read only once, or play a musical composition
after hearing it once. This is very unusual, however, and most people have difficulty in remembering
even names they heard the day before. This is not because most people lack the ability to remember,
but because they had not paid much attention to what they heard. They felt no personal reasons to
remember. Having a personal reason for remembering is one of the most important factors in a good
memory.
When you have a strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you read or listen, and try to
connect the new information to things you I already know. A detail is easy to remember when it fits
into a whole that makes sense. If you understand the entire history lesson before you try to remember
any particular dates, your memory may surprise you.
21. A person with photographic memory ________________.
A. can only remember things if he looks at a photograph
B. can remember every detail of what he sees or hears
C. can be found in mental hospitals
D. brings his camera everywhere he goes
22. Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE?
A. Recognition and recall are the two kinds of memory.
B. If you can't remember things, you have no memory.
C. Some few people have 'total recall,' often spoken of as photographic memory.
D. A person can remember anything better if he has a strong reason for doing it.
23. The word 'they' in paragraph 2 refers to ______________.
A. important factors B. experiences C. most people D. some few people
24. This article as a whole tells us about _________________.
A. people who can remember whole pages B. people who can't remember names
C. recognition and recall D. our memory and how to improve it
