There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long term. Information in long-term memory can. be recalled at a later time when it is needed. The information may be kept for days and weeks. In contrast, information in short-term memory is kept for only a few seconds, usually by repeating the information over and over. The following experiment shows how short-term memory has been studied.
    Henning studied how students who are learning English as second language remember vocabulary. The subjects in his experiment were 75 college students. They represented all levels of ability in English: beginning, intermediate, advanced, and native-speaking students. To begin with, the subjects listened to a recording of a native speaker reading a paragraph in English. Following the recording, the subjects took a 15-question test to see which words they remembered. Each question had four choices. The subjects had to circle the word they had heard in the recording. Some of the questions had four choices that sounded alike. For example, weather, whether, wither, and wether are four words sound alike. Some of the questions had four choices that have the same meaning. Method, way, manner, and system would be four words with the same meaning. Finally the subjects took a language proficiency test.
    Henning found that students with a lower proficiency in English made more of their mistakes on words that sound a like; students with a higher proficiency made more of their mistakes on words that have the same meaning. Henning’s results suggest that beginning students hold the sound of words in their short-term memory,  and  the  advanced students hold the meaning of words in their short-term memory.

B、Two kinds of memory.
C、Short-term memory.
D、An experiment on students.

解析 文中虽提到long-term memory,但大部分内容都在通过一个实验来研究short-term memory,所以C选项比较合适。
