28、 in Inner Mongolia. “The boy should work harder at studying since our duty as students is to study well.”It is generally accepted that getting good scores is crucial for a student.

36、as building his dream house four years ago, he wrote the story of his life on a wooden beam below the rooftop, hoping a future relative might discover it.With that beam and everything else inside the home destroyed in the firestorm that has struck southern California this week, the 55-year-old elect

42、deeply into your consciousness, a new study has found.And having one or two glasses of wine a day may increase your ability to remember, and even help with Alzheimer (老年痴呆症) sufferers. The study at Auckland University was undertaken by Dr. Maggie Kalev and Professor Mathew During.The two researchers
43、 found moderate levels of alcohol consumption, equivalent to one or two glasses of wine a day, could augment memory. In contrast, high levels of alcohol decreased the ability of new brain cells to develop and mature. “Low levels of alcohol promoted neutral memories, such as remembering objects,” sai
44、d Dr. Kalev. “However, contrary to popular belief, we also found that excessive levels of alcohol enhanced memories of highly emotional stimuli (刺激), meaning the concept of drinking to forget is unlikely to be true.”“Our work suggests that heavy drinking actually reinforces negative memories.”The st
45、udy also identified the way low doses of alcohol improved memory.Dr. Kalev said a “very important” brain receptor(受体), called an NMDA receptor, appeared to be necessary for the process. Testing done on rats showed if they did not have enough NMDA receptors, their memory did not improve when given lo
46、w alcohol doses.However, rats which did show high numbers of NMDA receptors exhibited memory improvement when given small amounts of alcohol.“Pathways by which memory is laid down are unclear, but NMDA receptor is critical in this process,” Dr. Kalev said.“Building on this knowledge may help in the treatment of memory disorders, such as Alzheimers disease and other dementias.”T
