Mst adults remember little abut what happened in their very early childhd. As a result, sme peple think that we can’t frm memries befre ur furth r fifth birthdays. But research n early memries has suggested that this is nt true. It shws that we d frm memries at a very yung age. Hwever, what we remember abut ur very early lives seems t change as we get lder.
Scientists in Canada wrked with 140 children (aged 4-13). First, they asked the children t tell their earliest memries. Then they asked them hw ld they were when the events (事件) happened. Next, they asked the kids’ parents t make sure that the events actually happened. And all the answers were recrded. The scientists waited fr tw years befre they went back t the children and asked them again, “What’s yur earliest memry?”
Nearly all the children (aged 4-7) in the first interview said smething very different in the secnd interview. Hwever, many f the children (aged 10-13) at the first interview described exactly the same memry in the secnd interview. This seems t suggest that ur memries change in the early years, but at arund the age f ten, the things that we remember get fixed.
The scientists are nw trying t find ut why children remember sme events but nt thers. We smetimes think that ur first r early memries are abut truble. But in this study, truble was nly a small part f what the children said they remembered. Mre ften, their early memries were happy nes. The scientists are trying t wrk ut why. We are lking frward t mre interesting discvery abut memries frm scientists.
Which f the fllwing is TRUE abut the research?
Scientists interviewed 140 children aged (7-13).
Scientists fund ut why kids’ events happened.
Scientists interviewed the children tw years later again.
Scientists asked a different questin in the secnd interview.

可变的B. 固定的C. 遗忘的D. 增长的
What did the scientists find ut?
All the children answered differently.
Children nly memrized their truble.
Our memry didn’t change in early years at all.
Children’s early memries are ften happy nes.
Why des the writer write this passage?
T explain hw imprtant memry is.
T tell us what the interview is abut.
T intrduce why memries always change.
T shw sme facts abut early memries.
