【題目】March 25, 2020

Dear students and parents.

As our state continues to fight against the spread of COVID-19, the State Board of Education has voted to authorize the closure of all public schools in Oklahoma for the remainder of the 2019-20 school year.

Jenks Public Schools (JPS) will be transitioning to distance learning beginning April 6 through the end of the school year. All JPS school buildings and facilities will remain closed until further notice. All activities, athletic events, club meetings, school sponsored trips are canceled for the 2019-20 school year.

JPS administrators are working on plans for a district-wide distance learning program. Please be patient over the next week as these plans are finalized. As soon as more information is available, you will be notified.

The time being missed due to the coronavirus-related closure will not have to be made up. Summer will not be shortened and as of now, the start of the 2020-21 school year will not be delayed.

We recognize the disappointment and difficulty this closure is causing our students and families. Our thoughts go out to our senior class knowing they will not have the opportunity to walk across a graduation stage in front of their family, friends, and peers. Please be assured, we will find a way to honor our seniors and recognize their achievements.

None of this is easy but despite our distance, we are still one Trojan family. We will continue to love and support each other. We will always make decisions based on what is best for our students. Thank you for your trust. You will hear from us very soon.

Sincerely,

JPS Administration

You can relax if remembering everything is not your strong suit. Recent research makes the case that being forgetful can be a strength—in fact, selective memory can even be a sign of stronger intelligence.

Traditional research on memory has focused on the advantages of remembering everything. But looking through years of recent memory data, researchers Paul Frankland and Blake Richards of the University of Toronto found that the neurobiology（神經(jīng)生物學(xué)） of forgetting can be just as important to our decisionmaking as what our minds choose to remember.

“The goal of memory is not the transmission of information through time. Rather, the goal of memory is to help improve decisionmaking. As such, transience(轉(zhuǎn)瞬即逝) is as important as persistence in memory systems，” their study in Neuron states.

Making intelligent decisions does not mean you need to have all the information at hand, it just means you need to hold onto the most valuable information. And that means clearing up space in your memory palace for the most uptodate information on situations. Our brains do this by generating new neurons(神經(jīng)元) in our hippocampus(海馬體), which have the power to overwrite existing memories that are influencing our decisionmaking.

“If you're trying to deal with the situation and your brain is constantly bringing up multiple conflicting memories, that makes it harder for you to make a wise decision，” Richards told Science Daily.

If you want to increase the number of new neurons in your brain's learning region, try exercising. Moderate aerobic exercise like jogging, power walking, and swimming have been found to increase the number of neurons making important connections in our brains.

When we forget the names of certain clients and details about old jobs, our brain is making a choice that these details do not matter. Although too much forgetfulness can be a cause for concern, the occasional lost detail can be a sign of a perfectly healthy memory system. The researchers found that our brains facilitate decisionmaking by stopping us from focusing too much on minor past details. Instead, the brain promotes generalization, helping us remember the most important gist of a conversation.

“One of the things that distinguishes an environment where you're going to want to remember stuff versus an environment where you want to forget stuff is this question of how consistent the environment is and how likely things are to come back into your life，” Richards said.

If you're an analyst who meets with a client weekly, your brain will recognize that this is a client whose name and story you need to remember. If this is someone you may never meet again, your brain will weigh that information accordingly.

These findings show us that total recall can be overrated. Our brains are working smarter when they aim to remember the right stories, not every story.

Title：Being Forgetful Might Actually Mean You're 【1】

Introduction

Recent research proves that being forgetful can be a strength, for forgetting and selective memory are of 【2】importance in our decisionmaking.

The goal of memory

People take advantage of memory to make good decisions rather than

【3】 information.

【4】 of being forgetful

It helps us forget outdated information.

●Making wise decisions involves the existing memories making 【5】for the latest information.

●Meanwhile, too much contradictory information in memory can do harm to our decisionmaking.

●Exercising helps increase neurons, contributing to our 【6】 decisionmaking.

It helps us see the big 【7】．

●After 【8】the information it gets, the brain chooses to focus on the key points, occasionally forgetting unimportant past details.

●Whether to remember or forget particular stuff is 【9】by the degree of the consistency of the environment and the 【10】 of things reappearing later in life.

Conclusion

Our brains are working smarter when aiming to remember the right stories, not every story.

I stood on the deck, 【1】( stare) at the huge waves. From the moment we had left port and sailed into the English Channel, 【2】 weather had got worse and worse. Now, lightning flashed across the sky , 【3】was covered in dark clouds.

We all ran onto the deck, following the signs to the lifeboats. The ship’s officers arrived, made sure we had life jackets and showed us 【7】 to put them on.
