She forgot how to start the car, whether or not she had eaten and which family members had died including my father.I became afraid that one day I, too, would be unable to recall my husband, not because of Alzheimer, but simply because my memory of him might disappear. So from the day of Eds diagnosis until his death a year later, I set out to memorize him. Id always be able to recite his qualities kind, gentle, smart, funny but I wanted to be able to think about the physical man in my mind as fully as possible when he was gone.Later I learnt that memory has a will of its own. You cant control it any more than you can influence the weather. When it springs up, a person loved and lost is found, even just for a few seconds.Recently, when I was driving, I had a deep and sudden sense of Ed, and the way it felt to have him next to me in the car. My body softened as it used to when we were together seven years ago, living a shared life. I wasnt remembering his face or the way he walked; the careful details I had stored had nothing to do with this moment in the car. And my moms brain couldnt label my father correctly, but that was not important. It was clear to me that her husband was vivid in her heart, a memory even Alzheimers could not destroy.I believe there is a difference between memory and remembering. Remembering has something to do with turning the oven off before leaving the house, but memory is nurtured by emotion. It springs from a deeper well, safe from the passage of time.56. The writer felt afraid because _.A. her mother was losing her lifeB. her memory of Ed might disappearC. no doctor diagnosed Eds problemD. she would develop Alzheimer in time57. In the writers opinion, memory has its own will so _.A. the missing family members will return homeB. the weather cant control our memoryC. it can spring up for a few secondsD. it is safe from a passage of time58. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Alzheimer is not very harmful to human beings.B. A physical man must be kind, gentle, smart, funny.C. Good memory begins with turning the oven off before leaving.D. Memory has much to do with the deep emotion in ones heart.59. What is the best title of the passage?A. Memory the Deeper Well from Our HeartB. Remembering the Passage of Time C. Alzheimer Can Never Destroy Our MemoryD. Differences between Memory and RememberingBEach year in Washington, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts honors performers for a lifetime of work. The ceremony is held at the Kennedy Center in December. This week, officials announced the names of the artists who will receive the honors for 2013. They include two rock and rollers, a jazz composer and an opera singer. But we will start with someone who seems to do everything: Shirley MacLaine. Shirley MacLaine has performed on stage and screen during her 60 year career. She is an actor, dancer, writer and political activist. MacLaine has been nominated for five best actress Academy Awards. She won the Oscar for playing Aurora Greenway in the 1983 film, “Terms of Endearment”. The character is controlling and judgmental but also very funny. Carlos Santana is another honoree. The Mexican-American guitarist and composer performed at Woodstock in 1969. He continues to lead his band Santana to this day. Santana has 10 Grammys and three Latin Grammys among his many music awards. Carlos Santana is credited with developing a whole new style of music.The Kennedy Center is also honoring pop star Billy Joel this year. Joel is thought of as the American version of Elton John. They both play the piano and have a history of writing hit song after hit song. And both are praised by serious music critics. At 64 years old, Billy Joel has won six Grammys and been nominated for 23.The Kennedy Center is also honoring another New York City native, classical soprano Martina Arroyo. The African-American-Hispanic singer helped break down the racial barriers in the opera world. She starred in many shows over the next 20 years at all the famous opera houses including La Scala in Milan, Italy, the Paris Opera in France and the Metropolitan Opera in New York City. The final Kennedy Center honoree is jazz great Herbie Hancock. The 73-year-old pianist, composer and bandleader modernized jazz with his use of electronic instruments. He has won fourteen Grammys and an Oscar for his work. Im Faith Lapidus. Our program was written by Jim Tedder and Caty Weaver, who was also the producer.
