From a single phone, the mobile will be developed into multi-part devices. It is opposite to the current trend in which mobile phones are combining the functions of cameras,

Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terr

54、ible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce,

55、 or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing 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

56、the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected. The research has caused a great deal of argument.

They usually come with very painful emotions, said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School

58、.
