"the people of goderville, and all those present at the market are informed that between nine and ten
o'clock this morning on the beuzeville road, a black leather wallet was lost, containing five hundred
francs, and business papers. the finder is requested to carry it to the mayor's at once, or to master
fortuné huelbrèque of manneville. a reward of twenty francs will be paid."
then he went away. they heard once more in the distance the muffled roll of the drum and the
indistinct voice of the crier.
then they began to talk about the incident, reckoning master houlbrèque's chance of finding or not
finding his wallet.
and the meal went on.
they were finishing their coffee when the corporal of gendarmes appeared in the doorway.
he inquired:
"is master hauchecorne of bréauté here? "
master hauchecorne, who was seated at the farther end of the table, answered:
"here i am."
and the corporal added:
"master hauchecorne, will you be kind enough to go to the mayor's office with me? monsieur the
mayor would like to speak to you."
the peasant, surprised and disturbed, drank his petit verre at one swallow, rose, and even more bent
than in the morning, for the first steps after each rest were particularly painful, he started off, repeating:
"here i am, here i am."
and he followed the brigadier.
the mayor was waiting for him, seated in his arm-chair. he was the local notary, a stout, solemn-faced
man, given to pompous speeches.
"master hauchecorne," he said, "you were seen this morning, on the beuzeville road, to pick up the
wallet lost by master huelbrèque of manneville."
the rustic, dumfounded, stared at the mayor, already alarmed by this suspicion which had fallen upon
him, although he failed to understand it.
"i, i—i picked up that wallet? "
"yes, you."
"on my word of honor, i didn't even so much as see it."
"you were seen."
"they saw me, me? who was it saw me? "
"monsieur malandain, the harness-maker."
thereupon the old man remembered and understood; and flushing with anger, he cried:
"ah! he saw me, did he, that sneak? he saw me pick up this string, look, m'sieu' mayor."
and fumbling in the depths of his pocket, he produced the little piece of cord.
but the mayor was incredulous and shook his head.
"you won't make me believe, master hauchecorne, that monsieur malandain, who is a man
deserving of credit, mistook this string for a wallet."
the peasant, in a rage, raised his hand, spit to one side to pledge his honor, and said:
"it's god's own truth, the sacred truth, all the same, m'sieu' mayor. i say it again, by my soul and my
salvation."
"after picking it up," rejoined the mayor, "you hunted a long while in the mud, to see if some piece of
money hadn't fallen out."
the good man was suffocated with wrath and fear.
"if any one can tell—if any one can tell lies like that to ruin an honest man! if any one can say—"
to no purpose did he protest; he was not believed.
he was confronted with monsieur malandain, who repeated and maintained his declaration. they
insulted each other for a whole hour. at his own request, master hauchecorne was searched. they
found nothing on him. at last the mayor, being sorely perplexed, discharged him, but warned him that
he proposed to inform the prosecuting attorney's office and to ask for orders.

Memories of a memory have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? if so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. new insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things. first, memory is vague. imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. most likely, you could describe the room very generally. you could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. but the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. so when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. there are lots of different kinds of "tall." second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. to do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. for example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. in effect, your brain is combining memories to you tell the story. third, your memory changes over time. it also changes the more you retell the story. documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. you may have noticed this yourself. the next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. you may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story. with individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? the human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. when it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture. part a and part b below contain one fill-in-the-blank to be used for all three question responses. your complete response must be in the format a, b, c including the letter choice, commas, and a space after the commas. part a: which of the following best explains why memories from childhood are unreliable? fill in blank 1 using a, b, or c. our brains add details and general knowledge to childhood memories. our brains are not as reliable as video cameras are. our brains create new stories to make the past more interesting. part b select one quotation from the text that supports your answer to part a. add your selection to blank 1 using e, f, or g. but the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall. to do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. select one quotation from the text that supports your answer to part a. add your selection to blank 1 using h, i, or j. documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. with individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. when it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture answer for blank 1:

Part a which statement best describes a central idea in this narrative? in times of tragedy, it is difficult to determine how best to be of service. in times of crisis, people prefer to be alone. young people tend to look to older people to take action in times of tragedy. when people publicly commit to being of service, they are more likely to follow through. part b which detail from the text best to shape the central idea in part a? "'i thought you might have too much going on already. i saw everyone post online.' martin said, 'i don’t think anyone wanted to be in the way today, so i’m glad you came.'" "finally, he said, 'i don’t know what to do. i guess i should tell him to let me know if he needs anything, but that doesn’t feel like enough.'" "he wondered how many people would actually show up to out and how many would simply hope that enough others did." "he explained to her that martin’s mom had died, and told her how he felt about his friend’s loss. 'what do you plan to do for him? ' his mother asked."
