Memory Class
Stan Field knows what age can do to a person's memory, and he's not taking any chances with his. He chooses his food carefully and gets plenty of exercise. He also avoids stress, coca cola and cigarette smoke. What's more, at breakfast each morning, the 69-year-old chemical engineer swallows a plateful of pills in the hope of boosting his brain power.
Michelle Arnove is less than half Field's age, but no less concerned about her memory. While working round the clock to finish a degree in film studies, the 33-year-old New Yorker had the alarming sensation that she had stopped retaining anything. "I couldn't even remember names," she says. "I thought, 'Oh no, I'm over 30. It's all downhill from here'." Besides loading up on supplements, Arnove signed up for a memory-enhancing course at New York's Mount Siani Medical Center. And when she got there, she found herself surrounded by people who were just as worried as she was.
For millions of Americans, and especially for baby boomers (生育高峰期出生的人), the demands of the Information Age conflict with a sense of declining physical power. "When boomers were in their 3os and 40s, they launched the fitness boom," says Cynthia Green, the psychologist who teaches Mount Sinai's memory class. "Now we have the mental-fitness boom. Memory is the boomers' new life-crisis Issue." And of course a major marketing opportunity. The demand for books and seminars has never been greater, says Jack Lannom, a longtime memory trainer whose weekly TV show, "Mind Unlimited," goes out to 33 million homes on the Christian Network. Anxious consumers are rushing to buy do-it-yourself programs and supplement makers are trying to sell everything but sawdust (木屑) as a brain booster.
But before you get out your checkbook, a few questions are In order. Does everyday forgetfulness signal declining brain function？ Is "megamemory" (超级记忆) a realistic goal for normal people？ And if you could have a perfect memory, would you really want it？ Until recently, no one could address those issues with much authority, but our knowledge of memory is exploding. New techniques are revealing how different parts of the brain, interact to preserve meaningful experiences. Biologists are trying to understand the underlying (潜的) chemical processes and neuroscientists (神经系统科学家) are discovering how age, stress and other factors can disrupt them. No one is close to finding the secret to perfect recall, but as you'll see, that may be just as well.

M: This is Stan Fielding reporting live from the suburbs of the capital city. Just 20 minutes ago, rebel forces launched the biggest offensive against the ruling government in the 18-month conflict here in this country.
W: Now Stan, is this a sign that the peace process has been totally abandoned？
M: Well, so far, peace negotiations have failed, and any resolution to end the civil war appears bleak at this moment. As you can see...Whoa.
W: Stan, Stan, are you there？
M: Uh, yes, Shelly. As you can probably hear behind me, rebel forces are also using heavy artillery to pound the positions of government forces around the city center. Rebel forces are closing in, and it's feared that they will be able to take the capital building before daybreak where, it is believed, many government officials are holding out.
W: Now, besides the heavy fighting, what other pressing concerns are there for the citizens of the city？
M: Well, since the beginning of the conflict, starvation, and lack of clean water and adequate shelter have been the biggest daily obstacles facing the citizens of this war-torn country. It is believed that over 40, 000 people, mostly children, have starved to death. Fortunately, no epidemics have broken out, but that is always a concern if this war lingers on,
W: Okay, that was Stan Fielding reporting. And we will keep you up-to-date as this story continues to unfold.

听力原文：W: Stan, do you have a minute？
M: Oh, hi, Cathy. Sure. What's up？
W: Welt, I've been meaning to talk to you about the situation in the office.
M: I'm not in there very often. It's so noisy that I can't work.
W: That's exactly what I'm getting at. We're supposed to be able to do our preparation and marking in that office, but have you noticed7 Jack constantly has students coming in to get help with his course. A lot of people are going in and out.
M: Has anybody spoken to him about it？
W: No, not yet, but someone's going to have to.
M: We can't really ask him to stop having students come in for help, can we？
W: No, of course not. But I'm not able to do my work and neither are you. I imagine it's the same for the others in the office.
M: Hmmm, could we ask for a kind of meeting room？ When the teachers have to talk with a student, they could go to the meeting room and not use the office. You know, there's a room down the hall, a rather small room that we could ask to use. It's only for storing supplies.
W: You mean that little storage room？ Oh, that would be too small.
M. Are you sure？ With the cabinets taken out, it might be bigger than it looks.
W: Come to think of it, you may be on to something. I'd like to have a look at that room. Can we go there now？
