河南省鹤壁市 2016-2017 学年高一英语 6 月月考试卷（无穿 一、阅读理解（每题 2。5 分，共 20 分）A NOT all memories are sweet。 Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences。 Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars。 Often they relive these experiences in ni ghtmares。 Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, wh ich will help people forget bad memories。 The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience。 They hope it might reduce, or possibly erase（抹去）,the effect of painful memories。
