     Not all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences.

Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars(伤疤). Often

they relive(在想像中再体验)these experiences.

     Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which help people forget bad

memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might

reduce, or possibly erase(抹去)the effect of painful memories.

     In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body

releasing(发放出)chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far, the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are erased.

     The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it. Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers' troubling memories after wars.

     They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories. "Some memories can ruin

people's lives. They come back to you when you don't want to have them in a daydream or nightmare.

They usually come with very painful emotions," said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry(精神病学)at Harvard Medical School,"This could relieve(减轻)a lot of that suffering."

     But those who are against the research say that changing memories is very dangerous because

memories give us our identity. They also help us avoid the mistakes in the past. "All of us can think of bad

events in our lives that were horrible at the time but make us who we are. I am not sure whether we'd want to wipe those memories out." said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.
