Passage 2That experiences influence subsequent behavior is evidence of an obvious but nevertheless remarkable activity called remembering. Learning could not occur without the function popularly named memory. Constant practice has such an effect on memory as to lead to skillful performance on the piano, to recitation of a poem, and even to reading and understanding these words. So-called intelligent behavior demands memory, remembering being a primary requirement for reasoning. The ability to solve any problem or even to recognize that a problem exists depends on memory.Typically, the decision to cross a street is based on remembering many earlier experiences.Practice (or review) tends to build and maintain memory for a task or for any learned material.Over a period of no practice what has been learned tends to be forgotten; and the adaptive consequences may not seem obvious. Yet, dramatic instances of sudden forgetting can be seen to be adaptive. In this sense, the ability to forget can be interpreted to have survived through a process of natural selection in animals. Indeed, when one's memory of an emotionally painful experience leads to serious anxiety, forgetting may produce relief. Nevertheless, an evolutionary interpretation might make it difficult to understand how the commonly gradual process of forgetting survived natural selection.In thinking about the evolution of memory together with all its possible aspects, it is helpful to consider what would happen if memories failed to fade. Forgetting clearly aids orientation in time,since old memories weaken and the new tend to stand out, providing clues for inferring duration.Without forgetting, adaptive ability would suffer, for example, learned behavior that might have been correct a decade ago may no longer be. Cases are recorded of people who(by ordinary standards) forgot so little that their everyday activities were full of confusion. This forgetting seems to serve the survival of the individual and the species.Another line of thought assumes a memory storage system of limited capacity that provides adaptive flexibility specifically through forgetting. In this view, continual adjustments are made between learning or memory storage (input) and forgetting (output). Indeed, there is evidence that the rate at which individuals forget is directly related to how much they have learned. Such data offers gross support of contemporary models of memory that assume an input-output balance.The tone of the passage can best be described as__________.
A. humorousB. theoreticalC. exaggerativeD. philosophical

Here is how he described one of his experiments.In June 1752, I wanted to show that lightning and electricity are the same. Having realized that I could use a kite to attract lightning, I decided to do an experiment. I built a strong kite and waited for bad weather. When the first thunderstorm came, I took my condenser to a shed in the fields where I could do my experiment. My son helped me fly the kite.The kite flew high in the rainy sky, but nothing happened. I was beginning to think that the experiment would not work. Just then, I saw some of the hairs on the string stand up. The string was getting charged!I brought my finger close to the key and felt a light but very clear electric shock. Others followed even before the whole string was wet, and I was able to collect and store a great deal of electricity in the condenser. This experiment proves that lightning and electricity are the same.To do the experiment you need four things, a kite, a key, some really bad weather and a condenser, to store electricity. Most kites are made of paper, but a kite made of silk will not tear so soon in weather with rain and strong winds. Build the flame of the kite by making a small cross of two pieces of light wood. The pieces should be just long enough to reach the corners of the handkerchief. Tie the corners of the handkerchief to the points of the cross, and you will have a nice strong kite. Add a tail to the frame and tie a long string to the cross so you can control the kite.The next three steps are very important. First, fix a very sharp piece of metal, pointing a foot or more above the frame to the top of the longer stick of the cross. Second, fasten a key to the end of the long string. Third, tie a silk ribbon to the string, just above the key. This ribbon, which must not get wet, will protect you from the electricity.Fly the kite when a thunderstorm appears to be coming on. Stand inside a door, or under some cover, so that the silk ribbon does not get wet. Take care that the string does not touch the wall or the door. When a thundercloud comes over the kite, the sharp piece of metal will pull the electricity from the cloud. The kite and the string will become charged. When the kite and the string are wet from the rain, they will conduct the electricity very well. You can collect and store the electricity in the condenser and use it for other experiments.
