It may come as a surprise to many an exhausted mother or father—but thinking about your children could improve your memory, a study suggests.
Researchers【C1】__________that when thinking about raising children, an adult’s memory "goes up a gear". It seems that the【C2】__________ necessity to protect children helps our brains to store information we would otherwise forget.
Researchers at Binghamton University, New York carried out a series of tests to see if thinking about bringing up children improved one’s sense of【C3】__________and found that it did- Ralph Miller, a psychology professor said, "Our ability to think and memorize information arises from our nervous systems. As our nervous systems are a product of【C4】__________and past experiences, one can【C5】__________expect that how well we memorize information today is【C6】__________ by natural selection that occurred among our ancestors long ago."
Professor Miller and his colleagues tested the theory by asking【C7】__________to imagine they were living in the ancient grasslands of Africa, and to remember a series of words such as rock, apple, ball and stick. They were asked to rate the relevance of each item to how much use it was to their survival. When presented with a【C8】__________that involved raising children they remembered many more of the words. But in another situation—a task involving finding a mate— the memory was not so good.
The researchers said that while both activities【C9】__________to survival, our prehistoric ancestors may not have realized that mating could result in children because of the nine months between mating and【C10】__________. This research demonstrates that our genes not only have an impact on our anatomy(解剖构造) and physiology, but also on the ways in which we think.

名词辨析题。本空位于one’s sense of后面,应填入名词。本句大意为,研究者进行了一系列实验以查明考虑养育孩子是否会提升人的________感觉,并发现结果确实如此。结合前两段可知,考虑养育孩子会提升人的记忆力,因此本空应填入含有“记忆”含义的名词,故答案为recall。
