Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42
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.
According to the passage, when will information stay in your short-term memory?
A. For as long as twenty minutes
B. As long as it is being used
C. After you have repeated it many times
D. When it has moved into long-term memory.

Theo bài đọc, lúc nào thì thông tin sẽ lưu lại ở trí nhớ ngắn hạn?
Dẫn chứng ở câu đầu tiên trong đoạn 3: “Information can be held in the short-term memory for about twenty seconds or as long as you are actively using it.” (Thông tin có thể được giữ lại trong bộ nhớ ngắn hạn khoảng hai mươi giây hoặc miễn là bạn đang tích cực sử dụng nó.)
