I. Read the Passge.

Books on psychology also point out that there are short-term memory and long-term memory. For instance, when we are following a lecture, we store the incoming information in our short-term memory as we jot down notes as fast as we can. Then, when we can find time later, we go over our notes, link up the points and memorize them to store the information in our long-term memory.

From what has been presented so far, it should be quite plain to us that our memory is just like the database of a computer where a large amount of information on a large variety of subjects is stored and used as and when necessary. Without a database, the computer is useless. Similarly, without memory, we would be utterly helpless and useless. Just imagine how frustrated and upset we get when we cannot remember where we have put our car keys. Put yourself in the place of a student taking an examination and imagine he cannot recall a thing he has studied. You will then be able to understand how helpless he would feel.
