We have heard about people who have special memories. Recently there has been a report about a woman from Australia who can remember almost every detail (細節(jié)) of all the events in her daily life.

Rebecca Sharrock, 25, is one of just 80 people worldwide who have been identified(確定) as having Highly Superior Autobiographical Memory ( HSAM,超級自傳體記憶癥). It means she can remember every small event-which most people would forget with in (在......以內(nèi)) days-as if it had happened just minutes ago.

"I remember my mum putting me in the driver's seat of a car and taking a picture of me when I was 12 days old,” she said. "That's my earliest memory. I remember every day since then. I can't tell all the dates exactly because I was too young to understand calendars, but I remember what I did that every day, what the weather was like and so on.”

Rebecca can also re-experience taste. If she's eating something that she doesn't like, she thinks about Black Forest cake, her favorite food, and the memory will be so strong that she can nearly "taste” it.

However, sometimes her memories prove (證明) to be painful. Because they're not just events that she remembers. "When I relive (再體驗) memories, the feelings return, too,” Rebecca said. "For example, I remember falling over when I was three at my grandparents' house and hurting my left knee. Talking about it now, I feel painful in my left knee. "

"At night, I have to sleep with the radio/recorder and a soft light on, she added. "1f it's too dark or quiet, my mind would be filled with all these memories and I can't sleep. "

閱讀理解。

There are many different kinds of disasters around the world. As an adult you know what to do during a disaster, but what about the children? Some adults think it would probably never happen to them, so they don’t teach their children what to do. Before it’s too late, here are ways to help you prepare your child for a disaster:

Educate: It is always good to let your child know about possible disasters. This doesn’t mean children have to live in fear. When teaching them about disasters, keep the conversation positive(積極的)by telling them there is a solution(解決辦法)to the disaster. Keep the conversations short, allow for questions and answer honestly.

Prepare: Always be prepared, that is the best advice for children. For example, when preparing for bad weather, get the tools you need, like candles, radios, food, water and medicine. Teach your child what is needed in certain disasters so that they know what is available for them, if ever needed.

Plan: You should always have a plan for you and your child for any dangerous situation. Write out a simple list that they can read. The plan could start with “l(fā)isten to an adult’s advice and/or call 119”.

Practice: Once you have got the correct safety tools and worked out the right plan, practice every few months. Practicing what to do during a disaster with your child will help them if the time comes.

Disasters can’t be avoided but they can be lessened(減輕)once you are prepared and ready for one.

1. What does the word disaster mean?

C. 演習 D. 傾銷

2.What should adults teach children?

3.What is the correct thing to do for adults?

C. Make the children scared of disasters.

D. Ask children lots of questions.

4.What’s the most important thing for children?

A. Always ask adults for help.

B. Always be prepared for a disaster.

C. Always listen to an adult’s advice.

D. Always remember where the tools are.
