18、ad Baby Girl. And thats what they called me until I was almost 4. When they planned our first train trip to Mexico for vacation, we needed passports which made it easier to come up with a name.

Experts are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to kno

25、w the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer.

28、ith poor memories as a result of the Internet.

After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she suffered severely by self-criticism.This student, like many I teach, strongly believes she should be able to control the outcomes

33、of her life by virtue of her hard work. In her mind, “Nothing can stop me but myself”. So when these students fall short of what they imagine they should accomplish, they are filled with self-blame, reasoning, “If my accomplishments are mine to control, my failures must be entirely my faults, too”,
