In the end, I would perform my famous move， the Power-Punch from Hot Rod.My friend Cheyenne and I rehearsed (排练) the fight for hours, but the fight would not be a fight without music and sound effects. This is where my brother came in. He stayed up all night to work on that soundtrack. And when my puters disk burner (刻录机) went out at 6 in the morning, he spent a college students weeks worth of ines to replace it.Why would he go into all that trouble?

Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strengthin fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers found that the neurobiology of forgetting can be just as important to our decision-making as what our minds choose to remember.Making intelligent decisions doesnt mean you need to have all the information at hand.It just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in yourmemory palace for the most up-to-date information on clients and situations. Our brains do this bycreating new neurons(神经元）in our hippocampus, which have the power to overwrite(重写)existing memories that are influencing our decision-making.If you want to increase the number of new neurons in our brain s learning region，try exercising. Some aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking and swimming has been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.When we forget the names of certain clients or details about old jobs，the brain is making a choice that these details dont matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern，the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decision-making by stopping us from focusing too much on unimportant past details. Instead，the brain helps us remember the most important part of a conversation.We can get blamed for being absent-minded when we forget past events in perfect detail. These findings show us that total recall(记忆）can be overvalued. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.12.How can we help our brains produce more neurons?A. By having deep sleep frequently.B. By practicing swimming regularly.C. By doing mental labor repeatedly.D. By learning new skills constantly.13. Which of the following can best replace “facilitate” underlined in paragraph 5?A. postponeB.repeatC.promoteD.abuse14. What conclusion can be drawn from the text?A. Memory loss is well worth noticing.B. Decisions cant be made without memories.C. We shouldnt stress total recall too much.D. Forgetting is even more important than remembering.15. What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Caution：do remember to forgetB. Why and how people choose to forgetC. Want to bee smarter? Learn to forgetD. Being forgetful might mean you aresmarter第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to escape from a car in water“If you get on your phone and call your parents or your sister, or 911, you will die,” says Robert May, a 21-year-old veteran(老兵) of the Indiana State.
