Can you trust your very first childhood memories? Maybe not, a new study suggests.
Past researches show that people's earliest memories typically form around 3 to 3. 5 years of age. But in a recent survey of more than 6,600 people, British scientists have found that 39 percent of participants claimed to have memories from age 2 or younger. These first memories are likely false, the researchers said. This was particularly the case for middle -aged and older adults.
For the study, researchers asked participants to describe their first memory and the age at which it occurred. Participants were told they had to be sure the memory was the one that had happened. For example, it shouldn't be based on a photograph, a family story or any source other than direct experiences. Then the researchers examined the content, language and descriptive details of these earliest memories and worked out the likely reasons why people would claim to have memories from an age when memories cannot form.
As many of these memories dated before the age of 2, this suggests they were not based on actual facts, but facts or knowledge about their babyhood or childhood from photographs or family stories. Often these false memories are fired by a part of an early experience, such as family relationships or feeling sad, the researchers explained.
"We suggest that what a rememberer has in mind when recalling fictional early memories is …a mental representation consisting of remembered pieces of early experiences and some facts or knowledge about their own babyhood or childhood, " study author Shania Kantar said in a journal news release, "Additionally, further details may be unconsciously inferred or added. Such memory-like mental representations come~ over time, to be collectively experienced when they come to mind, so for the individual, they quite simply are memories, which particularly point to babyhood. "
"Importantly, the person remembering them doesn't know this is fictional," study co-author Martin Conway said "In fact, when people are told that their memories are false they often don't believe it. "
1、What can we learn from a recent study?
A．Memories form after the age of 3. B．Participants are good at telling stories
C．Adults are likely to form false memories D．Earliest memories may play a trick on us
2、Which source did the researchers require for the earliest memories?
A．A direct experience. B．A family story.
C．A family photo. D．A sad feeling.
3、What are these fictional early memories according to Kantar?
A．They are repeated mental representations.
B．They are a collection of early experiences.
C．They are a combination of both facts and fictions.
D．They are further details of remembered experiences.
4、Which part of a newspaper is this text probably taken from?
A．Society. B．Psychology. C．Technology. D．Health.

B
Lying alongside mountains of smelly garbage under the South American sun, Cateura is a long way from the conservatories of Prague or Vienna. Yet the township, which grew out of Paraguay's largest dump(垃圾场), is gaining a reputation as a hothouse for musical talent and for its youth orchestra(管弦乐队) that plays instruments made from garbage. "The world sends us garbage. We send back music," says Favio Chavez, leader of the "Recycled Orchestra," during a recent visit by the group to Los Angeles. Orchestra members, poor children from Cateura, play violins fashioned from oven trays and guitars made from dessert dishes. The orchestra provides the youngsters an outlet and an escape, a chance to go beyond the mess of their slum(贫民窟) through the music of Mozart, and even Sinatra. "In the beginning, it was difficult to play," says the l0-year-old violinist Celeste Fleitas." But Favio helped me learn over time. From Favio, I have learned to be more responsible and value the things I have."
The destination for more than 1,500 tons of waste each day, the community has no safe drinking water and little access to electricity or sanitation(卫生设施). Illiteracy is severe, and the children of the township often fall into drugs, violence and crimes.
Favio Chavez, a musical talent, came to Cateura as an environmental technician in 2006 and started a youth music school. He knew shop-bought instruments were beyond the means of villagers whose sheds are worth less than a violin, so he approached a carpenter to make some out of waste from the dump.
The orchestra caught the eye of Paraguayan filmmaker Alejandra Amarilla. She uploaded a short piece of the orchestra to YouTube in 2012, hoping to secure crowdfunding for what would become Landfill Harmonic, a documentary released across the United States this month and promoting the youngsters on a tour of the world's music halls later on.
1、What is the best title of the text?
A．Youngsters carry tunes from garbage to victory
B．A music talent hit the road to the world stage
C．A town for music fans
D．An orchestra on a global tour
2、What do we know about Cateura?
A．It has raised people's awareness of recycling trash
B．It has caught more attention through the orchestra
C．It recycles more than l,500 tons of rubbish per day
D．It provides its children with better schooling conditions
3、Why did Alejandra Amarilla upload a piece of the orchestra to YouTube?
A．To assist the youngsters with a world tour
B．To collect funding for a documentary
C．To organize carpenters to make instruments
D．To catch the eye of the Paraguay government
4、What can we learn from Favio Chavez?
A．To work in a team weighs more
B．To recycle things is to conserve things
C．To be creative is a quality of a leader
D．To own nothing is no excuse to do nothing
