8、w to do something, we cant survive. If you think about it, there is so much we have to remember. Its no surprise that sometimes we are forgetful.Memory allows the brain to store and recall information when required. Our short-term memory can hold a small amount of information for a short time, while
9、 our long-term memory can hold an unlimited amount of information for a long time. Our memory is amazing, but why do we still forget things?Its possible we dont always store information in our memory effectively, maybe because we are in a rush or we consider it irrelevant at the time. When we store
10、information, we often make connections with other things, which helps us recall it later. If you dont have these connections, then it can be easier to forget. Writing for the Science Focus, Luis Villazon says, “It is also possible that memories become dim over time. As they have not been revisited,
11、their biological trace becomes lost.” Its true that if you dont perform a task for a long period of time, it can be difficult to recall how to do it.But sometimes even our short-term memory can let us down. This is called “The Doorway Effect”. Writing for the Future website, psychologist Tom Staffor
12、d explains that this “occurs because we change both the physical and mental environments, moving to a different room and thinking about different things”. Put simply, we are trying to spin too many plates at the same time. So, if you forget things easily, it could be because you have too much in you
13、r mind.But we do need to keep our memory sharp by continually using it. Especially when we beyond our 50s, our brains tend to shrink in volume. Thats when were at more risk of getting Alzheimers disease.However, as Luis Villazon says, “Forgetting is not always a bad thing! It would waste resources i

19、管机构批准了近20年来首款用于治疗阿尔兹海默病的新药物,为渤健研发的此款药物开了绿灯,但科学界对该药的有效性仍然存在激烈争论。Aducanumab将以Aduhelm的商品名销售,是首个获批的声称可以延缓疾病恶化进程的阿尔茨海默病药物。该药可以分解人脑中形成的淀粉样蛋白斑块,一些科学家认为正是这种斑块导致了阿尔茨海默病。到目前为止,其他所有已获批的阿尔茨海默病药物均针对该疾病的症状进行治疗,而非减缓或逆转疾病的恶化进程。多年来,这款药物一直备受争议,许多科学家反对它通过审批,因为目前鲜有证据可以证明它的有效性。这款药物通过所谓的“加速审批”通道获得批准,针对疗法有限的重大疾病,美国食药监局可以用这个方式来让药物获批,即便没有确凿的证据能证明其疗效。对于渤健以外的研究阿尔茨海默病的药企来说,美国食药监局的决定同样具有深远影响,尤其是那些即使屡战屡败,仍不惜花费数十亿美元 追随“淀粉样蛋白假说”的制药商。礼来制药公司股价应声上涨10%,该公司目前正在试验一种旨在清除淀粉样蛋白的药物。拓展练习阅读理解参考答案33.D 34.A 35.D 36.B 学科网(北京)股份有限公司
