The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.Henning studied how students who are learning

16、 English as a second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate （中等）, and native speaking students.To begin, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a parag

17、raph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording, some of the questions had four choices that sound alike. For example, weather, wheth

18、er, wither, and wetter are four words that sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.Henning found that students with a lower profici

19、ency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound alike; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning.

23、hort-term memory D. memoryDCan eating a chocolate bar every day really prevent age-related memory loss? No. But a new research shows that large amounts of flavones（黄酮）, substances found in cocoa,teaand some kinds of vegetables,may improve age-related memory failure.Dr. Scott Small is a professor of

24、neurology （神经学） at Columbia University in New York City. He is the leadwriter of a research paper describing the effects of cocoa flavones on brain activity. His study involved 37 volunteers aged between 50 and 69. Researchers gave them a high-level flavones drink madefrom cocoa beans or a low-level

25、 flavones drink. For a period of three months, somesubjects got 900 milligrams of flavones a day. The others got 10 milligrams of flavones each day. Brain imaging and memory tests were given to each study subject before and after the study. Dr. Small says that the subjects who had the high-level fla

26、vones drink showed much improvement on memory tests.The researchers warn that more work is needed to be done because this study was performed only on a small group. Dr. Joann Manson is the leadresearcher of a four-year study involving 18,000 adults. This study will use flavones capsules. The studysu

27、bjects will be divided into two groups and will take two pills per day. The capsules used will all look the same. But one groups capsules will contain flavones, while the other group will take capsules made of an inactive substance, or placebo（安慰剂）.Dr. Manson says its not necessary for people to sta

28、rt eating more chocolate, because 3 persons would have to eat a huge amount of chocolate to get the same level of flavones given to the rest subjects. He adds many manufacturers have planned to remove the flavonesfromtheir chocolate products. Similarly, Dr. Manson says a cocoa-based flavones extract

29、（提取）maybe developed in the future But he says that more studies are needed to see how much flavones is good for our health.12What was done to thesubjects after Dr. Smalls study?A.
