But do you know memory is the single most important thing and it has played a very import
27、ant part? For early men, there were dangerous all around thembad weather, wild animals. The key to keep on living lay in mans ability to remember these dangers and the ways he had dealt with them in the past. In order for memories to be stored, the human brain became more complex. And as man learned
28、 how to deal with them, he became civilized (文明 ). Surprisingly, scientists today understand little about memory and how it works. They have not yet found a way to open up the brain and observe its function without destroying it. Perhaps there are two types of memory: short-term and long-term. Short
29、-term refers to those facts that stay with us for a few seconds to a few hours. For instance, when you stay at a hotel, you remember the room number and forget as soon as you leave. Long-term memory, on the other hand, means you remember things for a long period of time. If you spend your honeymoon
30、in a particular hotel, its likely that youll remember your stay quite clearly. Scientists also believe that a short-term memory can become a long-term memory through consolidation (巩固 ). A lot of chemical and physical changes take place in the part of the brain. Although the human brain weighs three
31、 pounds, it contains 30 billion nerve cells (神经细胞 ) acting like a computer.

34、on an Internet computer Web site called a “blog”. The word “blog” is a short way of saying Web log, or personal Web site. Anyone can start a blog, and they can write about anything they like. There are millions of blogs on the Internet today. They provide news, information and ideas in many people w
35、ho read them. They contain links to other Web sites. And they provide a place for people to write about their ideas and react to the ideas of others. A research company called Perscus has studied more than 300 Web logs. It says that blogs are most popular with teenage girls. They use them to let the
36、ir friends know what is happening in their lives. The study also says that more than 100,000 bloggers stopped taking part in the activity after a year. However, some people develop serious blogs to present political and other ideas. For example, the Republican and Democratic parties in the southern
