30、d they talked.“We discussed things and discussed life. We discussed families. We just tried to keep occupied,” Henderson said.Eventually Coen started hallucinating(有幻觉).

He reminded himself constantly there were no trees.His legs was so weak that he could barely lift them. Henderson slowly pulled himself

32、 up the rigs ladder.It was over 50 miles from where they had gone in the water.All he could think of was Coen.

39、kills.Students may believe that studying science, technology, engineering and mathematics, known as the STEM fields, will easily lead to a good first job. But employers are telling colleges: you are producing engineers, but they do not have the skills we need. That means finding new ways to solve a

40、problem is more important than using established steps to do so.To get students ready, some colleges and even high schools, are working on building critical thinking skills. One example of this is at the private Westminster Schools in Atlanta, Georgia. For three weeks in January, students either get

41、 jobs or go on trips.

Maybe not, a new study suggests.Past

46、researches show that peoples earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3. 5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first memories are likely false, the rese

47、archers said. This was particularly the case for middle -aged and older adults.For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened. For example, it shouldnt

48、be based on a photograph, a family story or any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form

49、.As many of these memories dated before the age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. Often these false memories are fired by a part of an early experience, such as family relationships or

50、 feeling sad, the researchers explained.We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional early memories is a mental representation consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood, study author Shania Kantar

51、said in a journal news release, Additionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory-like mental representations come over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind, so for the individual, they quite simply are memories, which particularly point to baby

52、hood. Importantly, the person remembering them doesnt know this is fictional, study co-author Martin Conway said In fact, when people are told that their memories are false they often dont believe it. 1、What can we learn from a recent study?AMemories form after the age of 3.BParticipants are good at

53、 telling storiesCAdults are likely to form false memoriesDEarliest memories may play a trick on us2、Which source did the researchers require for the earliest memories?AA direct experience.BA family story.CA family photo.DA sad feeling.3、What are these fictional early memories according to Kantar?ATh

54、ey are repeated mental representations.BThey are a collection of early experiences.CThey are a combination of both facts and fictions.DThey are further details of remembered experiences.4、Which part of a newspaper is this text probably taken from?ASociety.BPsychology.CTechnology.DHealth.第三部分 语言知识运用（
