2022高考英语二轮阅读理解入口练习（4）及答案
阅读理解-----A
NOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive the experiences.
Now American rearchers think they are clo to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce , or possibly era(抹去), the effect of painful memories.
In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the rearch has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erad.
The rearch has caud a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after war. They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.
"Some memories can ruin people's lives . They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. "This could relieve a lot of that suffering."
But tho who are against the rearch say that changing memories is very dangerous becau memories give us our identity (特质). They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.
"All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I'm not sure we want to wipe tho memories out, "said Rebecca Dresr, a medical ethicist(论理学家).
Some people fear that although the drug would first be ued in only very rious cas, it would become more and more common. “ People always have the ability to misu science,” said Joph Le Doux, a New York University memory rearcher.” All we want to do is to help people have better control of memories.”
