garden created by the homeless, it strikes one that, for all their
diversity of styles, these gardens speak of various other
fundamental urges, beyond that of decoration and creative
expression.

distinctly human need, as opposed to shelter, which is a distinctly
animal need.

英语二原文和答案对照
I
can pick a date from the past 53 years and know instantly where I
was, what happened in the news and even the day of the week. I've
been able to do this since I was four.
我能从过去的五十三年中挑个日子,然后很快反应出自己在哪儿,当天有什么新闻,甚至是星期几。从四岁起,我就有了这种能力。
I
never feel overwhelmed with the amount of information my brain
absorbs. My mind seems to be able to cope and the information is
stored away neatly. When I think of a sad memory, I do what
everybody does – try to put it to one side. I don't think it's
harder for me just because my memory is clearer. Powerful memory
doesn't make my emotions any more acute or vivid. I can recall the
day my grandfather died and the sadness I felt when we went to the
hospital the day before. I also remember that the musical Hair
opened on Broadway on the same day – they both just pop into my
mind in the same way.
我从来不会因为大脑吸收的信息量庞大而感到难以承受。我的大脑似乎有能力应对,而信息的储存也有条有理。我想起伤心往事的时候,也和大家一样——尽量搁到一边不管。我不认为记得越清就越难忘记。惊人的记忆力并没有使我的情绪变得更为敏感或者更加细腻。我能够记得祖父去世的那天以及前一天我们去医院时我有多么难过。我也记得音乐剧《毛发》是在这天首登百老汇的——这两件事情以同样的方式迅速跳进我的脑海。
