24、lfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to ask her to marry him. The problem is she did the same in the opposite direction. He and Amy Dolby even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights
25、.After an 11000-mile flight across the globe, Dolby was greeted by Johnstones astonished flatmate asking what she was doing there “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us,“ she told The Times.“He is the most romantic(浪漫的) person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are b

31、t how we use protective or decorative wrappings (装饰性包装) in this country.When I come home from the supermarket and start to unpack, I am always shocked at the layers of wrappings we cover our food with.There is hardly anything we buy that doesnt come in at least two wrappings, and then several of the
32、m are gathered by the shop assistant and put into a small bag. Then several of the small bags are grouped together and put into a big bag. If you have several big bags with small bags in them, they give you a cardboard box to put the packages-in-the-little-bags-in-the-big-bags in.A lot of things we
33、buy wouldnt really need any protective wrapping at all. The skin of an orange protects an orange pretty well for most of its natural life, but we arent satisfied with what nature has given it.

38、word got out that Doug Beardsley was introducing a new course this spring “Hockey(冰球) Literature and the Canadian Psyche(精神)“ the 40 seats in the class were quickly taken. ESPN offered to fly him to New York for a TV chat show, and e-mail arrived from hockey fans and researchers from as far away as
39、Texas and China.“They think they can learn something about us as a nation by learning about the game, about Canadian people. Theyre right,“ says Beardsley.Students in Beardsleys class completed three research papers related to hockey. The reading Iist included famous works like The Divine Ryans by W
40、ayne Johnston, The Good Body by Bill Gaston and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true meaning of being Canadian.In Beardsleys words, hockey shows the very nature of the polite Canadian. “I think that along with this peace-sharing, gentle image comes a need f
41、or mayhem(混乱). So we invent the game and whammo! you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energies that we dont allow ourselves elsewhere,“ says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form of saying. “Look, even up here in the frozen n

Think of them as three connected rooms in which you store different kinds of memories.The first kind of memory is s
46、ense memory. Everything you are sensing right now is stored here. Perhaps you feel the sun on your face or smell the aroma(香味) of food. Sense memories last only a few seconds, but they connect one moment to the next. They give your life a flow, even though they are quickly forgotten.You keep a few i
47、tems(条目) in working memory. These are memories you need for what you are doing. Suppose you look up a friends telephone number in the phone book. Youll probably remember the number for a little while. But if you get distracted(分神), you might quickly forget it. A memory usually stays in your working
48、memory for just a few days at most. Working memory has another limit, too. Only a small number of items fit into it at any given time.Memories you want to keep for a long time go into your long-term memory. They can stay with you all your life. In long-term memory, you can store a huge number of items. Can you remember how to play your favorite game? Do you recall your first birthday party? If so, you are bringing up memories that are stored in your long-term memory. Sometimes, people have trouble finding a particular long-term memory. Have you ever struggled to re
