【題目】 “What's the name of our neighbor? I can't remember right now.”Have you ever heard your grandparents ask questions like this? Usually, we think older people's memories become bad because their brains get weak. But a team of scientists at the University of Tubingen in Germany has a different idea.

“The human brain works slower in old age,” said lead scientist Michael Ramscar, “but only because they have stored more information over time.”

The findings are based on a series of computer simulations（模擬） of learning and memory.

Scientist let the computers read a certain amount of words and learn new things each day. When the computer “reads”only so much, its performance on cognitive（ 認知） tests is similar of a young adult. But if the computer learned the experiences we might encounter（經(jīng)歷） over a lifetime, its perfection is similar to that of an older adult.

Often it was slower because increased“experience” had caused the computer 's database（數(shù)據(jù)庫） to grow, giving it more data to process - which takes time. This is similar to old people.

Imagine a person knows two people's birthdays. Another person knows the birthdays of 2,000 people, but can only match the right person to the right birthday nine times out of 10. Can you say the first person has a better memory than the second person? The basic idea is that“The larger the library you have in your head, the longer it usually takes to find a particular word,” Benedict Carey, a science reporter for The New York Times, wrote in an article about the study.

【1】The writer uses a question at the beginning to________.

A.encourage readers to think of their neighbors

B.make readers interested in the topic

C.prove that older people have bad memories

D.explain why older people like asking questions

【2】How did the scientists do their research?

A.They interviewed old people

B.They asked both young and old people the same questions

C.They used computers to simulate human learning and memory

D.They followed the experiences of a group of old people

【3】According to the research, why do old people forget other people's names easily?

A.Because they have a very poor memory

B.Because they are too old to remember things

C.Because their brains become weaker over time

D.Because there is too much information in their brains

【4】What does the underlined word“similar”in the passage mean in Chinese?

A.協(xié)調的B.相似的C.奇怪的D.迥異的

【5】What would be the best title for the story?

A.Why do old people have poor memories?

B.Why do old people's brains sore more information?

C.What is the human brain's processing ability?

D.Is it better to be old or young?
