Scientists think that （11) _________ one person

If you are to believe someone who says there is no such thing as an honest person, you may be sure that the speaker is dishonest.

Memory is the ability to keep track of things that have happened in the past. Memory really is learning. One needs memory to ride a bicycle. A dog needs to remember if it is to come when called.

Memory is said to be stored in the brain as a "memory trace (记忆痕) ". What makes up this trace is not known. Some scientists believe that certain chemical substances may carry certain memories. For example, one substance, when given to rats, causes them to fear the dark.

Other research into memory has to do with how the brain works. Psychologists use three means to find out bow a person remembers. For example, give a person a grocery list. Let the person memorize the list, then put it away. The most natural way to find out how much a person remembers of the grocery list is to ask what he or she remembers. This is called the method of recall. Another method is called recognition. Give the person another grocery list. Ask him or her to choose items on the first list from the items that are on only the second list. Often a person will be able to recognize things that he or she cannot recall. A third method of finding how much a person remembers is called relearning. Here the person is asked to read over the first list. The person will probably learn the list the second time faster than he did the first time. The difference in the time it takes to relearn the list is thought of as measure of how much a person has remembered.

One way of remembering something is to repeat it many times. Interest is very important. Boring lists of facts are much more difficult to remember than something that we understand and are interested in. Motivation, or wanting to do something, is also important. Motivation is linked with reward. For example, a hungry animal quickly learns how to do something if that action gets the animal food. In humans, wanting to learn is often motivation. The praise of a teacher or the knowledge that an answer is correct is rewarding.

听力原文： Many of the employees think their career path and plans begins during their employment or when they have already secured a job. (26) But basically, if we look at what becomes of a person, you can root it from the upbringing of the person, to be more specific, from childhood.

As parents, we usually groom our children's future according to what we are or what we wanted to be. We buy them toys and educational materials according to what we dream our children would become someday.

In career pathing, the parents' role plays a major part for the individual's success in identifying their chosen career. (27) The best approach is to support the child's interest and not forcing them to take courses that the parents wanted for themselves. Support can be provided by helping them read materials on their field of interest, (28) exposing them to the career and providing information as to the advantages and sacrifices that one may take to accomplish their chosen field. This is not difficult nowadays. The internet and the publications are now very affordable and even the media provides the information for the different careers that our children may take. There are shows and programs that can provide a picture of the different fields. (29) But before you go to your television and change the channel of what your children is watching, check first if the program is fit for their age and maturity.
