Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with?

The word “they” (Para.6) refers to ______.

The passage is mainly about ______.

According to the supporters of the pills, ______.

NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget badexperiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotionalscars. Often they relive experiences in nightmares. 

Now American researchers are developing a pill which will help people forget bad memories.The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it mightreduce, or possibly erase the effect of painful memories. 

In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the bodyreleasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only theemotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased. 

The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while otherssupport it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memoriesafter 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 tohave them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions,”saidRoger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. “This could relieve a lot ofthat suffering.” 

But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous becausememories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes of the past. 

“All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but they canmake us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe those memories out,”said Rebecca Dresser ,amedical ethicist.

 The drug tested on people can ______.

It is suggested that we could have learned more about our past if ancient people had ______.

“ Remembered history” refers to ______.

“ Remembered history” is regarded as valuable only when ______.

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say thatwe could not remember. But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we dideach day, we should be able to give an answer to the question. 

It is the same in history. Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any writtenaccount of them. Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in theircountry，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes there was never any writtenrecord at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to write. For example, weknow a good deal about the people who lived in China 4,000 years ago, because they could writeand leave written records for those who lived after them. But we know almost nothing about thepeople who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa because they had not learned to write. 

Sometimes, of course, even if the people cannot write, they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people and often songs and dances and stories have beenmade about the most important happenings, and these have been sung and acted and told for manygenerations, for most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past. This we may call?remembered history ” . Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable tous as written history is, because words are much more easily changed when used again and againin speech than when copied in writing. But if there are no written records, such spoken stories areoften very helpful. 

 Which of the following is NOT suggested in the passage?

Little is known about the central Africa 200 years ago because ______.

The phrase “idle away” (Para.5) probably means “______”.

Which of the following is NOT true of the author?

People watch TV so much because ______.

According to the passage, people will ______ if they stop watching TV.

If I had the ability to change one thing about American society, my decision would not be adifficult one. I would ban television. 

I grew up a couch potato. Looking back, it seems I hardly read anything else at all—Iwatched TV almost seven hours a day. 

There are so many good reasons for you to be a couch potato. Television is goodbefore-breakfast entertainment. Television is good after-school entertainment. Television is goodbefore-bed entertainment. Everybody watches it, so you have to watch it too in order to talk aboutit with friends. Otherwise you cannot say a word, which makes you look like an idiot. 

But when I stopped watching television completely several months ago, I found that I hadbecome a more reflective person, simply because I had more time to think. Television had stoppedstuffing its ideas into my head. I was thinking of my childhood, and to my disappointment, I foundthat it could be summed up adequately in one sentence: “I watched a lot of TV. ” And I wastmuch of my youth that I cannot have back. I will never be more imaginative than I was in mychildhood. 

Now I can totally resist the temptation of TV no matter how marvelous the programs are, andI’m entering into a new stage of life. In the meantime, I ’d hope that all couch potatoes would turnoff their TV. But I am afraid that with more and more attractive TV programs , I ’m not going to bethe last person in this country to idle awaythe best years of life sitting passively in front of atelevision.
