43、r lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relieve these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The

44、 pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So

45、far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Suppo

46、rters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories."Some memories can ruin people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightma

47、re. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories is

48、very dangerous because memories give us our identity. 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. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out, "said Rebecca Dresser, a me

49、dical ethicist.63. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill64. We can know from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will certainly stop

50、people's emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to people's physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America65. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph ?A. some memories can ruin people's lives.B. peopl

51、e want to get rid of bad memories.C. experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. the pill will reduce people's sufferings from bad memories.66. You may probably read the passage in _A. a guidebook B. a textbook C. a medical magazine D. a science fictionDSome people make you feel co

52、mfortable when they are around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if you have known them half your life. These people have something in common. And once we know what it is, we can try to do it ourselves.How is it done? Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, t

53、heyll help you put people at their ease, and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. One well-known businesswoman says, “At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. Its a common

54、question, but it will get things going.” From there you can move on to other matterssometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isnt. Your qu

55、estions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively.Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the subject of conversation. If someone sticks to one topic, you can take

56、it as a fact that hes really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to tones of voice. If the voice sounds dull, then, its time for you to change the subject.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the occasion of parting. If youre saying good-bye, you may give him a firm handshake and say, “Ive really enjoyed meeting you.” If you want to see that person again, dont keep it a secret. Let people know what you feel, and they may walk away feeling as if theyve known you half their life.67. Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable
