Section C
Directions:
In this section,
you will hear a passage three times.
When the passage is read for the first time,
you should listen carefully for its general idea.
When the passage is read for the second time,
you are required to fill in the blanks
numbered from 36 to 43
with the exact words you have just heard.
For blanks numbered from 44 to 46
you are required to
fill in the missing information.
For these blanks,
you can either use the exact words
you have just heard
or write down the main points in your own words.
Finally, when the passage is read for the third time,
you should check what you have written.
Now listen to the passage.
The ancient Greeks developed basic memory systems
called Mnemonics. The name is derived from
their Goddess of Memory, Mnemosene.
In the ancient world,
a trained memory was an immense asset,
particularly in public life.
There were no convenient devices for taking notes
and early Greek orators delivered long speeches with great accuracy
because they learned their speeches using Mnemonic systems.
The Greeks discovered that
human memory is largely an associative process.
That works by linking things together.
For example, think of an apple.
The instinct of your brain registers the word 'apple'.
It recalls the shape, color, taste, smell and texture of that food.
All these things are associated in your memory
with the word 'apple'.
This means that any thought about a certain subject
will often bring up more memories that are related to it.
An example could be
when you think about a lecture you’ve had.
This could trigger a memory
about what you are talking about through that lecture,
which can then trigger another memory.
The associations do not have to be logical.
They just have to make a good link.
An example given on the website I was looking at follows:
Do you remember the shape of Austral,
Canada, Belgium or Germany? Probably not.
What about Italy, though?
If you remember the shape of Italy,
it is because you have been told at sometime
that Italy is shaped like a boot.
You made an association with something
you’ve already known—the shape of a boot.
And Italy’s shape could not be forgotten
once you’ve made the association.
Now the passage will be read again.
