37、我想起了自己的公文包。我这才意识到 公文包没在身上。我立即努力回忆会把它遗忘在了哪里。自从离开航空公司票务柜台后，我没有在其她任 何地方停留过，因此我推想，我一定是把包留在那里了。我匆匆回去取，可是公文包已无影无踪。起先我 确信一定是有人顺手把它拿走了，但随后又想，也有也许看到包的人已把它交给了柜台，于是便在票务 柜台排队等待。轮到我时，我描述了包的特性，并询问与否有人把它交到了柜台。那位航空公司代理摇 了摇头。这时我朝她身后的行李输送带瞥了一眼，输送带正把行李从办理登机手续处往下面的装货区传 送。我大声叫道：“我的包在那儿！”然而，现代理回头看时，公文包已传送到输送带的尽头，忽然消失 了。

38、“你看到你的包了？”代理问我。 “是的！”我大声说。“它刚穿过那边那个入口。这下我如何才干把它取回来呢？” “这不难，”代理回答说。“把你的行李领取凭证给我，我想我们可以在装机前截住它。” “可我没有行李凭证！”我答道。“我没办托运！我哪儿都不去。我是来接人的。”我安静了一下情绪， 解释了事情的通过，并指出很也许有人把包交到了柜台，而某位代理把它和其她行李一起办了托运并放到 了传送带上。 代理告诉我，能找回包的唯一措施是，填写一张认领单，在上面写清公文包的外观特性。等我填完表 格，代理打电话到下面的行李区查询时，包已被装上了一架航班，但不知是哪一架。代理记下了我的电话 号码，并保证她们一找到包

39、就给我打电话。尽管我住在苏城，离机场有一种半小时的车程，她们还是会一 找到包就把它送到我家来。 我兄弟的航班到了。我们取了她的箱子后便走向停车场找我的车。回家的路上我把公文包的事告诉了 她。到了家，我们把行李从车上卸下来。当我兄弟从车里拿出一只公文包时，我真不敢相信自己的眼睛。 原觉得已丢失的公文包其实主线就没有被带进机场！它始终躺在后座的地上。我意识到，此时此刻航空公 司的人正在飞往丹佛、圣路易斯和芝加哥的航班上逐个检查核对行李，寻找我的公文包。一想到要打电话 告诉她们我已经在自己的车里找到了包，心里真叫痛苦。 我们进屋时电话铃正响着。接电话时，我惊呆了。电话里一位航空公司的工作人员说：“我

40、们有好消 息告诉你！我们在丹佛找到了你的公文包，十一点前应当到这里。半夜后不久便能送到你家。” after-class reading 遗忘的益处 我们在某个时候都曾但愿拥有完美的记忆力，想要记住事情的每一种细节。我们会遗忘在学校和家里 学到的诸多东西，这太糟糕了。如果我们对过去的记忆既不精确又不完整，我们又怎么可以做出符合实际 的自我评价呢？ 然而，完美的记忆力并不总像人们想象的那么美好。有这样一种有关俄罗斯记者s 的故事。她只需看 上几秒钟便能记住长串的数字、单词和许多页电话号码簿上的内容。甚至在近年后来，她仍能将这些长串 的信息倒背如流。她还记得她第一次记这些材料时的情景。 s用多种各样

41、的记忆“窍门”协助自己记忆。其中的许多窍门波及在大脑中形成图像。但是，你不必 羡慕她，由于她有一种很严重的问题：不会遗忘。那些大脑中的图像老是浮目前她眼前，使她分心，无法 集中注意力。有时甚至连与人作简朴的交谈都成问题，由于对方的话会让她想起其她东西。事实上，人们 把她描述成一种迟钝的人。最后，s 无法胜任自己的工作，只得以“记忆专家”的身份游走于各个地方，向 人们展示她的才干，以此来谋生。拥有这种记忆问题的人的例子尚有诸多。她们来自诸多不同国家，说多种 不同的语言。 或许你仍然觉得拥有完美的记忆力是一件好事。那么，设想一下记住一切会是什么情形。每当你回忆 过去时，你不仅会记起你经历中的精髓，

42、还会记得毫无价值的琐事。记忆也许会花上你数小时，而不是片 刻。你头脑中也许会一片混乱，使你无法把信息组织好。有了完美的记忆力，你也许会记住那些最佳能忘 记的东西。难道你真想记住每次愤怒的争执，每个你所犯的错误，以及生命中每个痛苦的瞬间吗？“记住 一切”会对你和家人、朋友的关系产生什么影响？成功地建立一种密切关系与否有也许取决于一定限度的 遗忘呢？或许只有把那些不快乐的记忆锁进记忆的角落里不再去想它们，才有也许自信和乐观呢？如果你 记住这些，你就能理解为什么完美的记忆力不是我们该拥有的最佳记忆力。 就像牢记同样，某种限度的遗忘有助于我们的正常生活。那么，有益的遗忘和有害的遗忘之间的界线 在哪里呢

43、？如果你可以选择，你会选择清晰地记住哪些东西，又让哪些东西从你的记忆中消失呢？这是需 要思考的问题。 课内阅读练习答案 part one preparation 1 expressions related to memory step one if a word, expression, etc. is on the tip of your tongue, you usually know it but have difficulty remembering it at that moment.（就在嘴边的，差一点就能想起的） when you say someones head is lik

55、bout the topic in relation to my own experience, or discuss issues with my classmates. sometimes i use the method of forming meaningful connections to remember english words. for example, when trying to remember whether i should use the word “principle” or “principal”, i tell myself that a principle

56、 is a rule and a principal is my pal and then i can use the appropriate word. besides, i keep a diary to record my memories. when i go to new places, i buy souvenirs or take photographs to remind me of the places and people there. sometimes songs help me remember things, too. for example, “yesterday
