It's a school day morning. You are dressing yourself in the bedroom. At the same time, you are thinking about taking your schoolbag from the living room. But when you walk through your bedroom door and into the living room, you suddenly forget w1. you are there and just don't know what to do.

Most people would think they have a poor m2.. But scientists believe that the act of walking through doorways makes them forget things. They call it the "doorway effect".

The scientists from the University of Notre Dame in the US did an e3.. They placed several objects into two rooms. The students had to put an object from Room A into a shoebox and then carried it to Room B through a doorway. In Room B, they exchanged it for another object and brought it back to Room A in the shoebox. Then the students were asked to do the same things w4. crossing though a doorway.

During the period of time, the scientists would randomly (隨機(jī)地) ask the students which object was in their shoebox at the moment. The scientists found their answers were slower and less c5. when they walked through a doorway and into a new room

"A doorway is just like a boundary (分界線) in the mind," the lead scientist Gabriel Radavansky told Scientific American. Setting "boundaries" in our minds can cause us to forget things e6.. For example, when you walk into the living room, your brain thinks the act of getting your schoolbag is already "done" and it moves on.

Is there a way to s7. the "doorway effect? Writing down what you need before going into another room might be helpful.

“Will you come with us，Susan？”cried several girls．“We are going to the woods，do come，too．”

“I should like to go with you，”replied Susan，“but I can't finish the task Grandmother set me to do．”

“How boring it must be to stay at home to work on a holiday！”said one of them，shaking her head．“Susan's grandmother is too strict．”

At this，Susan lowered her head，wiped away a tear，and thought of the pleasant afternoon the girls would spend gathering wild flowers．

“Grandmother，”said she，a few minutes afterwards，“I'm ready now．”

“What，so soon，Susan？”Her grandmother took the work，and looked at it very closely．

“True，Susan，”said she，“true，I have counted it，and，as you’ve never deceived（欺騙）me，you may go and enjoy yourself．”

Susan's face turned red，and she did not say“thank you”．As she left，she walked slowly away，not singing as usual．

“Why，here is Susan！”the girls cried．“But what is the matter? Why have you left your dear grandmother？”they jokingly added．

“it's nothing．”As Susan replied，she felt she was trying to deceive herself．

When the girl had reached an open space，they ran about enjoying themselves except Susan．Sitting on the grass，how she wished she were at home confessing（承認(rèn)） her fault．

After a while Rose cried out，“Let’s make a crown of violets，and put it on the head of the best girl here．”

“It will be easy enough to make the crown．but not so easy to decide who is to wear it，”said Julia．

“Why，Susan is to wear it，of course，”said Rose，“is she not said to be the best girl in school and the most obedient（順從的） at home？”

“Yes，yes，the crown shall be for Susan，”cried the other girls．

“Now，Susan，”said Rose，“put it on in a very careful way，for you are to be our queen．

The crown was placed on Susan’s head．But in a moment，she snatched it off，threw it on the ground and said，“No crown for me；I do not deserve（值得）it．”

The girls looked at her with surprise．“I have deceived my grandmother，”said she，while tears flowed down her cheeks．

“Do you think that bad？”asked one of the girls．

“I’m sure it is and I have been miserable all the time I have been here．”

Susan ran home，as soon as she saw Grandmother，she cried，“（）Grandmother！I should be punished，for I moved the mark．Do forgive me；I am very sorry and unhappy．”

“Susan，”said her grandmother，“I knew it all the time，but I let you go ou，hoping that you can realize your fault．I am so glad that you have confessed your fault．”

“Now！”was the quick reply，and Susan's grandmother kissed her forehead．

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport (交通)are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.

But in the big cities of Europe like London or Pads, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt (塵土) of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.

So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.

Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly.

As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.
