15、brain is a seemingly endless library, whose shelves house our most precious memories as well as our lifetimes knowledge. But is there a point where it reaches capacity?The answer is no, because brains are more sophisticated than that. Instead of just crowding in, old information is sometimes pushed

16、out of the brain for new memories to form.Previous behavioural studies have shown that learning new information can lead to forgetting. But in a new study, researchers demonstrated for the first time how this effect occurs in the brain.In daily life, forgetting actually has clear advantages. Imagine

17、, for instance, that you lost your bank card. The new card you receive will come with a new personal identificatipn number (PIN). Each time you remember the new PIN, you gradually forget the old one. This process improves access to relevant information, without old memories interfering.And most of u

18、s may sometimes feel the frustration of having old memories interfere with new, relevant memories. Consider trying to remember where you parked your car in the same car park you were at a week earlier. This type of memory (where you are trying to remember new, but similar information) is particularl

19、y vulnerable to interference.When we acquire new information, the brain automatically tries to incorporate(合并)it within existing information by forming associations. And when we retrieve(检索)information, both the desired and associated but irrelevant information is recalled.,The majority of previous

20、research has focused on how we learn and remember new information. But current studies are beginning to place greater emphasis on the conditions under which we forget, as its importance begins to be more appreciated.A very small number of people are able to remember almost every detail of their life

21、. While it may sound like an advantage to many, people with this rare condition often find their unusual ability burdensome.In a sense, forgetting is our brains way of sorting memories, so the most relevant memories are ready fbr retrieval. Normal forgetting may even be a safety mechanism to ensure

24、 to forget.B) What contributes to forgetting.C) How new technology hinders memory capacity.D) Why learning and forgetting arc complementary.54.
