23、ked for a drivers license, Murphy said that he didnt have one.Murphy told Taylor he couldnt read well enough to tale the written part of the licensing test. “He said people just dont help anymore.

30、he name of a film you just saw. Such tip-of-the-tongue or TOT incidents happen to almost everyone, notes Deborah Burke, a scientist at Pomona College in Claremont, California.These lapses(失误) have noting to do with remembering the meaning of a word, but rather with its sound. “Often, the sound of a

31、word is arbitrary (任意的) and senseless,” says Burke. This arbitrariness sometimes can make it difficult to bring back the word.The best way to prevent the problem is to use the name of a person or object as frequently as possible. “I tell people to do what salespeople often do-repeat peoples name sev

32、eral times just before you plan to see them,” says Liz Zelinski of the University of South California in Los Angeles.A TOT experience can seem worse when a similar-sounding(发音相似的)，but incorrect, word comes into your head unexpectedly and stays there. Burke tells the story of a student who was trying

33、 to remember the name of a particular car. The student wanted the word Winnebago, but she could only come up with rutabaga.

37、ousers with white or blue shirts, and the women wear long dresses in dark colors. They ride in carriages pulled by horses.The Amish have a saying: “The old way is the best way.” Although the Amish accept some new ideas- they use new medicines, for example- their way of life has not changed much in 3

38、00 years. They do not use electric lights, telephones or TVs.Almost all Amish live on farms. They do not use modern machinery (机器)，yet their farms are successful because the Amish work hard and take good care of their land and animals. Their farms are always small.
