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. \\
1.People with HSAM have the same memory as ordinary people when it comes to impersonal information.
H
解析：该段第一句提到“尽管他们能够非常详细地回忆起‘自传体式的’生活事件，但在回忆非个人信息比如任意选取的单词表时，他们并没有比普通人做得好”。题干是对该句的同义转述，故答案为H。
2.Fantasy proneness will not necessarily cause people to develop HSAM.
K
解析：该段第一句提到“并非每一个有幻想倾向的人都会形成超级自传体记忆力”。题干是对该句的同义转述，故答案为K。

5.People with HSAM often have to make efforts to avoid focusing on the past.
P
解析：该段第一句提到“这就意味着他们(指有超级自传体记忆力的人)通常需要特别努力才能忘掉过去”。题干是对该句的同义转述，题干中的avoid focusing on the past是对原文中lay the past to rest的同义替换，故答案为P。
