Memories of a Memory

Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things.

First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall."

Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story.

Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story.

With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture.

Read the text Joining the Gold Rush.

On February 2, 1848, the United States and Mexico signed the Treaty of Guadeloupe Hidalgo, a treaty that gave ownership of California to the United States. Unbeknownst to them, James W. Marshall had discovered flakes of gold at Sutter's Mill near Coloma, California just days earlier. Marshall shared the news with John Sutter, the owner of the mill, and the two men decided to keep the discovery a secret. Unfortunately for them, news of the golden flakes spread. Sam Brannan even walked through San Francisco with gold, proving that there was indeed gold for the taking.

When the news reached the East Coast, many American citizens were skeptical. When President James K. Polk shared a report written by Colonel Richard Mason, the military governor of California, the nation learned about the huge amounts of gold available. With this official confirmation, many men decided to sell their possessions, leave their families, and go west. They had gold fever and wanted to strike it rich. Most women did not go west. Instead, they remained at home to take care of businesses and farms. Many American prospectors chose to join the gold rush by sailing around Cape Horn or traveling overland along the Oregon-California Trail.

Sailing Around Cape Horn

Many people living on the East Coast chose to sail around the bottom tip of South America, past Cape Horn. Passengers purchased their fare for between 500 and 1000 dollars or more. The trip was long and could take five to seven months. Many passengers suffered from seasickness and boredom. Stormy weather sometimes sank ships. Cape Horn was infamous for its strong currents and unpredictable winds. Despite these dangers, over a third of fortune hunters chose to travel by ocean.

Traveling Along the Oregon—California Trail

Those living in America's West chose to travel more than 2,000 miles overland along the Oregon-California Trail. For four to six months, oxen pulled the covered wagons filled with possessions along the bumpy trail. Prospectors walked beside the wagons or rode on horses. Wagons traveled together in groups called wagon trains. At night, the wagons made a circle to provide protection for the animals. Travelers cooked over fires and slept in the wagons or outside under the stars. These adventurers faced a lack of fresh drinking water, which led to outbreaks of cholera and typhoid. The journey to California led prospectors through formidable landscapes, including swift rivers, dusty plains, and dry deserts. Treacherous weather hit adventurers with lightning, hailstorms, and floods. Finally, as Native Americans watched an increasing number of people encroach upon their lands, they began to attack. However, these prospectors persevered and arrived in California.

Regardless of their methods, over 300,000 adventurers joined the gold rush and arrived in California. Their contributions led to the creation of the state and shaped the city of San Francisco, which is built on abandoned gold rush ships.

Text: Justice for all common lit

Read the excerpt from “Tools of the Spymaster."


The numbers that Major Tallmadge assigned to members of the Culper Ring were from a secret writing system he invented. He substituted digits for words that would be used in messages. "Long Island," for example, was 728, "arms" was 7, and "city" was 88. There was a number for each month, such as 341 for "January." He made four copies of his codes. He kept one and gave the others to Woodhull, Townsend, and General Washington. For words that did not have a number code, Tallmadge gave his agents a cipher. In a cipher, each letter in a message is replaced by another letter or a number.


The author’s purpose in this excerpt is to


teach readers about a code system used during the American Revolution.

persuade readers that ciphers are the greatest American invention.

argue that Major Tallmadge made a mistake in sharing copies of his codes.

compare the American codes for secret letters to the British codes.

Read the passage below. He fell silent. I sat meditating his words. For a time his wild hope of communication, of interpretation, with these weird beings held me. Then that angry despair that was a part of my exhaustion and physical misery resumed its sway. I perceived with a sudden novel vividness the extraordinary folly of everything I had ever done. What does Mr. Bedford’s reaction to Mr. Cavor’s plan imply about Bedford’s character? He is depressed about the mistakes he has made in life. He is more moved by emotion than reason. He becomes violent when placed in difficult situations. He is sometimes content to be silent and meditative.

Making the Most of Mucus

Just the name itself will make you giggle. It's a great word that conjures visions of slime and unpleasantness. It is perhaps the most annoying part of having a cold or allergies. Mucus, however, plays a very important role in defense of our bodies and our health. In fact, it's high time mucus got a lot more respect.

First, there are some amazing facts about mucus that are worthy of respect. Humans produce about a liter of mucus every day, whether they are sick or not. Bony fish and some invertebrates (snails or slugs) also have mucus cells on the outside of their body. This external mucus creates a protective coating that prevents predators' toxins from doing harm. Humans produce mucus to protect our stomachs, our lungs, and several other systems.

We tend to not like mucus because it is a considered a symptom or sign that something is wrong. We usually only see it when we are sick, and so we tend to dislike it. According to Michael M. Johns, III, MD, however, "mucus is incredibly important for our bodies." Johns, an assistant professor at Emory University, calls mucus "the oil in the engine" of our bodies. Without mucus, our engines, or bodies, would freeze up and stop working properly.

Furthermore, mucus is not just the nasty gunk you see when you are sick. It lines the tissues in your mouth, your nose, throat, and lungs. It also is crucial in protecting your digestive system. Mucus puts a protective coating over the surfaces of these tissues, keeping them moist. Most of the time we don't notice mucus is making our lives better. It does its job quietly, making everything run smoothly, keeping our inner tissues soft and flexible enough to fight off invaders.

Occasionally, though our mucus-making membranes go into overdrive. If you eat a hot pepper, your mucus membranes in your mouth and throat start producing extra mucus to protect you. If you come into contact with pollen, you may get a runny nose and start sneezing and coughing. When these things happen, your mucus systems start making more fluids to wash away the irritating particles. Mucus also has some antibodies that increase our ability to fight off bacteria and viruses.

It's hard to appreciate what is essentially slime, but we have mucus for some very good reasons. It helps to keep us healthy and lets us know when our bodies are under attack. We would be wise to respect what our bodies do to keep us safe. So the next time you find yourself reaching for a tissue, remember mucus is your friend and ally.

What's in a Name?

Mucus is a great word, not only because it gives name to an important bodily function, but also because it is one of those words that simultaneously makes you feel grossed-out and giggly. Other words for this powerfully important human-health tool include slime and phlegm. Slang words for mucus include boogers and snot. All of these words have the same giggle-power, simply from the combination of consonants and vowels. By the way, mucus is an old word; it's been around since the mid-1600s and has roots back to Latin (mucere, to be moldy or musty) and Greek (myxa, mucus). While you may assume that words like snot and boogers are relatively new slang terms, they are not. Snot dates to 1560 and comes from an Old English word, gesnot, and has the same root as the word snout. The word booger is not quite as old but has been in use since the 1890s.

Antoine is writing a paper on how to develop creative tourist attractions. Which sentence from the passage is most relevant to his topic?

The miniature city of Madurodam in the Netherlands is a great attraction for tourists. Originally opened in 1052, it has received millions of visitors. The miniature park was originally built for the young George Maduro, a law student known for his heroism. Today, the place is open for visitors who want to feel like a giant for a day. It is like a real version of the classic novel Gulliver's Travels, in which Gulliver visits Lilliput, a land filled with small beings. Everything in Madurodam is about 25 times smaller than real life. What makes Madurodam so appealing is its ability to immerse visitors in this fantasy world. They get to see scaled-down versions of some of the famous Dutch landmarks and cities, which is a source of great enjoyment. Regular visitors and tourists alike can bend down and touch the tiny ships in the harbor or cover the lighthouse beacon with their hands.
