If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Expe

16、rts 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 know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a comput

17、er. The first group of people understood that the computer would save the information. The second group understood that the computer would not save it. Later, the second group remembered the information better. People in the first group knew they could find the information again, so they did not try

18、 to remember it.In another experiment, the researchers gave people facts to remember, and told them where to find the information on the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people

19、use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, they remember how to find it. This is called “transactive memory (交互记忆).”According to Sparrow, we are not becoming people with poor memories as a result of the Internet. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memori

20、es; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.31. The passage begins with two questions

21、 to _. A. introduce the main topicB. show the authors altitudeC. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information32. In transactive memory, people _.A. keep the information in mindB. change the quantity of information C. organize information like a computerD. remember how to find

23、and went to work in a factory, for education was for the rich then. So, the world became his school. With great interest, he read everything he could lay his hands on, listened to the town elders and learned about the world beyond his tiny hometown. “Theres so much to learn,” hed say. “Though were b

24、orn stupid, only the stupid remain that way.” He was determined that none of his children would be denied (拒绝) an education.Thus, Papa insisted that we learn at least one new thing each day. Though, as children, we thought this was crazy, it would never have occurred to us to deny Papa a request. An

25、d dinner time seemed perfect for sharing what we had learned. We would talk about the news of the day; no matter how insignificant, it was never taken lightly. Papa would listen carefully and was ready with some comment, always to the point. Then came the moment the time to share the days new learni

26、ng.Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen. “Felice,” hed say, “tell me what you learned today.” “I learned that the population of Nepal is .” Silence.Papa was thinking about what was said, as if the salvation (拯救) of the world would de

27、pend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . ” hed say. “Get the map; lets see where Nepal is.” And the whole family went on a search for Nepal.This same experience was repeated until each family member had a turn. Dinner ended only after we had a clear understanding of at least half a do

28、zen such facts.As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one anothers education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value, giving us a sense of

29、dignity, Papa was unquestionably our most influential teacher.Later during my training as a future teacher, I studied with some of the most famous educators.

Your frien

34、d is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.” The commanders words didnt matter, and the soldier went anyway. To ones surprise, he managed to reach his friend, raised him onto his shoulder, and brought him back to their companys trench. As the two of them fell in together to the bottom o

35、f the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend. “I told you it wouldnt be worth it,” he said. “Your friend is dead, and your wound is deadly.” “It was worth it, though, sir.” the soldier said. “How do you mean worth it?” responded the commander. “Your fri

36、end is dead!” “Yes, sir.” the soldier answered. “But it was worth it because when I got to him, he was still alive, and I had the satisfaction of hearing him say, Jim, I knew youd come.”Many a time in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it.
