But if youre one of those people who cant stop snapping photos at an important event, beware

16、-you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.Maryanne Garry, a New Zealand psychology professor, has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhoo

17、d memories. “I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,” she says. Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children, for example, are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them. The picture only captures a small party of the t

18、otal experience. And because parents remember less about these important events, they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences. As a result, childrens own childhood memories are reduced.The idea that we are experiencing less as

19、 we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking. She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.Henkel, who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut, did an experiment by sending groups of students to the universitys art museum. The students observed some objec

20、ts and photographed others. Then, back at the laboratory, they were given a memory test. Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”. The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of, and they remembered fewer details about those objects. She says her students memo

21、ries were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.“As soon as you hit click on that camera, its as if youve outsourced your memory,” she says.26. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.A. an important event B. a childs birthdayC. A valuable photogr

22、aph D. A family holiday27. According to Garry, what will be the result of parents frequently taking photos of their children?A. Parents will be very skillful at taking photos.B. Children will enjoy many more beautiful pictures.C. Parents will appreciate these important moments less.D. Children will

23、become more important in their parents eyes.28. According to Paragraph 3, why are childrens memories reduced?A. Flash lights are causing children to forget more things.B. Parents are not interested in listening to childrens experiences.C. Children are more interested in taking photos than experienci

24、ng.D. Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.29. How did Henkel develop her theory about the “photo-taking effect”?A. By carrying out an experimentB. By giving a questionnaireC. By interviewing a group of students D. By researching the findings of the others30. What

25、s the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.C. To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.BThe human body is an amazing machine. Its tough, and we

26、usually recover from illness or injury on our own, without the help of a doctor. But what happens when we need medical treatment? In the past, some people went to a hospital to see a medical doctor. Others preferred traditional treatments, such as herbal medicine or acupuncture (针灸). These two types

27、 of medicine-one modern and Western and the other ancient and Eastern-used to have nothing to do with each other.In recent years, however, people have begun combining both modern medical science and more traditional treatments. This new kind of medicine is often called integrative medicine because i

28、t integrates, or combines, different types of medical approaches. Some of the principles of integrative medicine include preventing illness by helping people stay healthy, integrating different types of treatments according to patient needs, and considering the health of the whole person rather than

29、 concentrating on a particular illness or injury.One health organization in America has opened its Integrative Medicine and Wellness Center. At the center, members are offered different services. Those suffering backache can try massage to relax their muscles and encourage the flow of healing energy

30、 in their body. Those with allergies are helped to develop their bodys natural resistance. And those who arent ill, but want to improve their strength and focus their mind, take tai chi or yogo classes.Integrative medicine patients appreciate having an alternative to surgery or to drugs and their ha

31、rmful side effects. They also enjoy activities and treatments that make them feel better even if they are not sick. And economically, preventing illness is much less expensive than a hospital stay.According to Dr. Andrew Weil, founder of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizo

32、na, integrative medicine combines the best parts of Western medicine with traditional therapies. And because both doctors and patients are working to prevent illness, they become partners with the same goal instead of strangers who see each other only when the patient is sick.31. Which of the follow

33、ing is the best title of this passage?A. Western medicineB. Acupuncture and herbal medicineC. Changes in medical educationD. Combining modern and traditional medicine32.
