Question

【題目】B

Have you heard of the saying, “Elephants never forget”? We can know that elephants have good memories, But do you know monkeys have good memories, too?

Monkeys can recollect what they’ve seen, according to a science study. It offers clear evidence (證據(jù)) that monkeys have ability of memory like humans.

Scientists found out that monkeys can recall simple shapes from memory. They even can draw those shapes on a computer touch screen.

Scientists say that findings suggest that the memory of humans and monkeys is more similar than scientists knew. Monkeys can recall. Recall is necessary for planning and imagining, and can increase social behavior and other skills. By recalling, monkeys show an ability to remember things that are not present at the moment.

A scientist named Benjamin Basile said, “The ability of monkeys to recall these shapes suggests that they might be able to recollect other kinds of information that would be useful to them in the wild. They may be able to recollect the appearance of things they knew, what their favorite foods look like, or the path they would have to take to a pond.

The scientists say that the ability to recollect does not depend on language. The ability may have been present in our common ancestor (祖先) million years ago.
