Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each
of the questions.
Your mind’s ability to bring back experiences you have had is your memory. There are two
kinds of remembering, recall and recognition. For instance, you may not be able to recall the poem you
read yesterday, but if you see it again, you will know it instantly because you recognize it.
Some few people have “total recall”, often spoken of as photographic memory. A person with
total recall can recite a whole page of a book he has read only once. This is very unusual, however, and
most people have difficulty in remembering even the names they heard the day before. This is not
because most people have a lack of the ability to remember, but because they had not paid much
attention to what they heard. They felt no personal reasons to remember. Having a personal reason for
remembering is one of the most important factors in a good memory.
When you have a strong reason for remembering, concentrate as you read or listen, and try to
connect the new information to things you already know. A detail is easy to remember when it fits into
a whole that makes sense. If you understand the entire history lesson before you try to remember
particular dates, your memory may surprise you.
