Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
The three phases of human memory are the sensory memory, the short - term memory, and the
long - term memory. This division of the memory into phases is based on the length of time of the
memory.
Sensory memory is instantaneous memory. It is an image or memory that enters your mind only
for a short period of time; it comes and goes in under a second. The memory will not last longer than
that unless the information enters the short - term memory.
Information can be held in the short - term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are
actively using it. If you repeat a fact to yourself, that fact will stay in your short - term memory as
long as you keep repeating it. Once you stop repeating it, either it is forgotten or it moves into long -
term memory.
Long - term memory is the huge memory tank that can hold ideas and images for years and years.
Information can be added to your long - term memory when you actively try to put it there through
memorization or when an idea or image enters your mind on its own.
26. The best title for this passage would be _______.
A. The difference between sensory and short-term memory.
B. Human phases.

A. is on the top of B. is at the foot of C. depends on D. is below
28. According to the passage, which type of memory is the shortest?
A. Sensory memory B. Active memory C. Short-term memory D. Long-term memory
29. All of the following are TRUE about long-term memory EXCEPT that __________
A. it has a very large capacity.
B. it can hold information.
C. it is possible to put information into it through memorization.
D. memorization is the only way that information can get there.

A. three phases of memory B. the sensory memory
