阅读下面短文,在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。
For
much of history, reading was a fairly noisy activity. Today, however, the
majority of us bottle the words in our heads as if {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(sit) in a library.
Recent
studies provide ample evidence {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the ancient art of reading aloud has a number
of benefits, from helping improve our memories {#blank#}3{#/blank#}strengthening emotional bonds
between people.
According
to a research on the impacts of reading on memory, people consistently remember
words and texts {#blank#}4{#/blank#}(well) if reading them aloud than if
reading them silently. This phenomenon has been named the "production
effect", which means that producing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(write) words-namely, reading them
out loud-improves our memory of them. Even just silently mouthing the words
makes {#blank#}6{#/blank#} more memorable.
One
reason why people remember the spoken words better is that it gives us {#blank#}7{#/blank#} additional basis for memory. We are {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(general) better at recalling events
that require active involvement. For instance, producing a word in {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(respond) to a question makes it
easier to remember.
In
time when our interactions with others and the large amount of information we
take in {#blank#}10{#/blank#}(be) all too
transient (转瞬即逝的) , perhaps it is worth
making bit more time for reading out loud.
