Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Different accidents can leave people with terrible wounds both in body and mind. Often they recall these experiences in their awful dreams.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a kind of medicine, which will help people forget bad memories. The medicine is designed to be taken soon after a scary experience. They hope it might cut down, or possibly clean up, the effect ( 影响 ) of painful memories. In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals（释放化学物质）that make memories remain in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the effects of memories in mind may be cut down, not that the memories are cleaned up.The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to a kind of medicine that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.“Some memories can destroy peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or awful dreams at night. They usually come with very painful feelings,” said Roger Pitman, a professor at Harvard Medical School. “This could cut down lots of that suffering.”But those who are against the research say changing memories is very dangerous because memories make us different from others. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure if I want to forget those feelings.” said Rebecca Dresser, a medical scientist.10 .

My sister and two brothers had the same mean mother as I did.My mother had to know who our friends were and where we were going. If we said we would be out for an hour, we couldnt stay away for one hour and one minute. We had to be in bed by nine each night and up at eight the next morning. We had to do housework like doing the dishes, making the bed and cooking.Through the years, things didnt improve. Our marks in school had to be up to standard. Our friends report cards had beautiful colors on them-green for passing red for failing. My mother, being as different as she was,would only accept black marks. With our mother behind us, none of us were allowed to drop out of school.My mother forced us to grow up into educated and honest adults. I am now trying to raise my children.
