问题     What’s your earliest childhood memory? Can you remember learning to walk? Or talk?
    The first time you【C1】______ thunder or watched a television program? Adults seldom【C2】______    events much earlier than the year or so before entering school, just as children younger than three or four  【C3】______ retain any specific, personal experiences.  A variety of explanations have been【C4】______ by psychologists for this "Childhood amnesia" (儿童失忆症). One argues that the hippocampus, the region of the brain which is responsible for forming memories, does not mature【C5】______ about the age of two. But the most popular theory【C6】______ that, since adults do not think like children, they cannot【C7】______ childhood memories. Adults think in words, and their life memories are like stories or【C8】______ --one event follows【C9】______ as in a novel or film. But when they search through their mental【C10】______  for early childhood memories to add to this verbal life story, they don’t find anything. As fits the【C11】______ , it’s like trying to find a Chinese word in an English dictionary.
    Now psychologist Annette Simmons of the New York State University offers a new【C12】______ for childhood amnesia. She argues that there simply【C13】______ any early childhood memories to recall. According to Dr. Simmons, children need to learn to use【C14】______ spoken description of their personal experiences in order to turn their own short-term, quickly【C15】______ impressions of them into long-term memories. In other【C16】______ children have to talk about their experiences and hear others talk about【C17】______ Mother talking about the afternoon【C18】______ looking for seashells at the beach or Dad asking them about their day at Ocean Park. Without this【C19】______   reinforcement, says Dr. Simmons, children cannot form【C20】______ memories of their personal experience.  
【C8】
选项 A、regulations
B、forecasts
C、narratives
D、descriptions
答案C
解析 本题考查结构知识。句中出现or连接的并列结构，故此处所选的词应与or前面的story为近义词。C项narratives意为“叙述，故事”，故正确答案为C项。
