It is difficult to imagine what life will be like without memory. The meanings of thousands of everyday perceptions(感覺、知覺), the bases for the decisions we make, and the roots of our habits and skills are to be found in our past experiences, which are brought into the present by memory.
Memory can be defined as the capacity to keep information available for later use. It includes not only “remembering” things like arithmetic or historical facts, but also involves any change in the way an animal typically behaves. Memory is involved when a rat gives up eating grain because he has sniffed something suspicious in the grain pile. Memory is also involved when a six-year-old child learns to swing a baseball bat.
Memory exists not only in humans and animals but also in some physical objects and machines. Computers, for example, contain devices from storing data for later use. It is interesting to compare the memory-storage capacity of a computer with that of a human being. The instant-access memory of a large computer may hold up to 100,000 “words”―ready for instant use. An average
The use of words is the advanced problem-solving intelligence of human beings. A large part of a person’s memory is in terms of words and combinations of words.

Somehow Rey had managed to struggle free from the rope around his neck, after being left to die a slow death as punishment for being a bad Spanish greyhound(獵狗).
It is believed that 50,000 greyhounds are killed by their owners in
But Rey's intended fate(命運(yùn)) was, even within the levels of cruelty usually shown to Spanish hunting dogs, especially cruel. The rope around his neck had been set at a height so that his front paws could not touch the ground, meaning that he was intended to stand on his back legs until he was too tired to support himself. When his legs finally became too tired, the rope should have done its work.
"They call it the typewriting death, because the dog's back legs struggled against the ground and make the clicking sound of a typewriter," said Albert Sorde, of the SOS Galgos greyhound rescue group. "It is a punishment for greyhounds that are thought to have made their owners lose face. "
"Rey's throat was severely damaged but we managed to find a vet to operate and, though it was expensive, he survived," he said.
Greyhounds in Spain are used for hunting hares(野兔). "The dogs are meant to imitate the swerves(轉(zhuǎn)向)of the hares," said Sorde. "Those who don't, and make their owners look bad, are called ' dirty greyhounds' and are most likely to be killed by the typewriter method. "
63. Rey was intended to be killed by .
A. Kicking B. burying C. hanging D. drowning
64. The underlined word "vet" in (Paragraph 5) probably means “_________”.
A. animal doctor B. ambulance
C. animal medicine D. equipment
65. What can you infer from the passage?
A. Dogs are not kept as pets in
B. Rey was punished because he had not been loyal to his owner.
C. The typewriting death is named because a typewriter is used in the punishment.
D. Rey didn’t behave very well in the hunting.
66. The passage mainly tells the readers about _________.
A. the cruel killing of dogs in
B. how Rey was saved by rescuers
C. how Spanish dogs hunt hares
D. the fate of the dogs in
