16、e was to those who helped hitDshare his experience and ideas on dealing with bullies Educators across the US are calling for major changes to the admissions process in higher education. The Harvard school of Greduate Education, along with 80 other schools and organizations, released a report called

17、“Turning the Tide Making Caring Common” in January, 2016. The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems.David Hawkins is the Executive Director for Educational Content and Policy at the National Association for College Admissions Counseling. Hawkins told Voi

18、ce of America that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply. Schools usually ask for an essay describing a students interests or why they want to study at that school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers or other responsible adults describing why a

19、student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, the area that schools are most concerned about is a students high school grades and standardized test results.The report suggests that paying attention to academic success over other qualities works well for some students but hurts others. In addition,

20、 academic success is not the most important quality a student should have. More attention should be paid to showing whether or not a student wants to do well in the world, according to the report.The report goes on to state that the best way to change the admissions process is by changing college ap

21、plications. It suggests that schools should ask for evidence that students care about other people. But the report does have its critics. Bob Schaeffer, Public Education Director for the National Center for Fair and Open Testing, said that every few years, someone makes the same argument for changes

22、, but no real change has happed yet. Even many of the schools that agree with the report still make no changes.Lloyd Thacker, Executive Director of the Education Conservancy, said that until a majority of schools agree to make the changes, there will still be problems. However, he said, the admissio

26、l. DUnclear. The next time your brain refuses to recall a simple fact or name, be thankful. That could be a sign that your brain is getting rid of unnecessary information so that it can operate more efficiently, and help you make better decisions.The researchers say there are numerous neurobiologica

27、l(神经生物学的)studies conducted on how the brain stores information, a process called persistence (暂留). However, scientists also assumed that our occasional inability to recall facts was due to a are an the brain. In 2013, scientists discovered that as new neurons combine with the hippocampus(海马区)-a regi

28、on of the brain that plays a significant role in learning and remembering-they overwrite old memories, making them harder to access. There is also evidence that the brain weakens or removes connections between neurons, in which memories are encoded.The scientists have a theory on why the brain spend

29、s so much energy erasing memories. They say what the brain decides to forget is determined by our daily life. An example is that our brains remember phone numbers according to the need. Instead of storing this irrelevant information that our phones can store for us, our brains are freed up to store

30、the memories that actually do matter for us. They also believe that memorizing too much detail could prevent us from making good decisions.So the next time you are unable to recall a seemingly important fact, dont be hard on yourself. Just throw it to your brains “rubbish can” to make room for infor
