The
method of making beer has changed over time.
Hops
(
啤酒花
) , for example, which
give
many a modern beer its bitter
flavor, are a
11
26
11
recent addition to the beverage. This was first
mentioned in reference to brewing in
the ninth century. Now, researchers have found a
11
27
11
ingredient in
residue
(
残留物
) from 5000-year-old
beer brewing equipment. While digging two
pits at a site in the central plains of
China, scientists discovered fragments from pots
and vessels.
The different shapes of
the containers
11
28
11
they were used to brew, filter, and store beer.
They
may be ancient
“
beer-making
tools,
”
and the earliest
11
29
11
evidence of beer brewing in China,
the
researchers reported in the
Proceedings
of the National Academy of Sciences
. To
11
30
11
that
theory, the team examined the
yellowish, dried
11
31
11
inside the vessels. The majority of the
grains, about 80%, were from central
crops like
barley
(
大麦
) , and about 10% were
bits of roots,
11
32
11
lily, which would have made the beer sweeter, the
scientists say. Barley was an
unex-
pected find: the crop was
domesticated in Western Eurasia and
didn
?
t become a
11
33
11
food in
central China until about 2,000
years ago, according to the researchers. Based on
that timing,
they indicate barley may
have
11
34
11
in the region not as food, but as
11

material for beer
brewing.

The Blessing and Curse of the People
Who Never Forget
A
handful
of
people
can
recall
almost
every
day
of
their
lives
in
enormous
detail
—
and
after
years of research,
neuroscientists are finally beginning to
understand how they do it.
[A]
For most of
us, memory is a mess of blurred and faded pictures
of our lives. As much as we
would like
to cling on to our past, even the saddest moments
can be washed away with time.
[B]
Ask Nima
Veiseh what he was doing for any day in the past
15 years, however, and he will
give you
the details of the weather, what he was wearing,
or even what side of the train he
was
sitting
on
his
journey
to
work.
“My
memory
is
like
a
library
of
video
tapes,
walk-throughs of every day of my life
from walking to sleeping,
”
he explains.
[C]
Veiseh can even put a date on when
those tapes started recording: 15 December 2000,
when
he met his first girlfriend at his
best friend
?
s 16th birthday
party. He had always had a good
memory,
but the thrill of young love seems to have shifted
a gear in his mind: from now on,
he
would start recording his whole life in detail.
“
I could tell you everything
about every day
after
that.
”
[D]
Needless to
say, people like Veiseh are of great interest to
neuroscientists
(
神经科学专家
)
hoping
to understand the way the brain records our lives.
A couple of recent papers have fi-
nally
opened
a
window
on
these
people
?
s
extraordinary
minds.
And
such
research
might
even suggest ways for
us all to relieve our past with greater clarity.
[E]
?
Highly superior
autobiographical
memory?
(or
HSAM for short), first came to light in the
early 2000s, with a young woman named
Jill Price. Emailing the neuroscientist and memory
researcher
Jim
McGaugh
one
day,
she
claimed
that
she
could
recall
every
day
of
her
life
since
the age of 12. Could he help explain her
experiences?
[F]
McGaugh invited her to his lab, and
began to test her: he would give her a date and
ask her
to
tell
him
about
the
world
events
on
that
day.
True
to
her
word,
she
was
correct
almost
every time.
