As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why store it in your own personal memory, your brain? 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 know the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. 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 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 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 memories; 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 doesn’t 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 to ______.

A. introduce the main topic                       B. show the author’s altitude

C. describe how to use the Internet              D. explain how to store information

32. In transactive memory, people ______.

A. keep the information in mind                     B. change the quantity of information

C. organize information like a computer  D. remember how to find the information

33. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research?

A. We are using memory differently.             

B. We are becoming more intelligent.

C. We have poorer memories than before.

D. We need a better way to access information.

Papa, as a son of a dirt-poor farmer, left school early 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. “There’s so much to learn,” he’d say. “Though we’re born 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. And 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 day’s new learning.

Papa, at the head of the table, would push back his chair and pour a glass of red wine, ready to listen.
    “Felice,” he’d 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 depend upon it. “The population of Nepal. Hmm. Well . . . ” he’d say. “Get the map; let’s 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 dozen such facts.

As children, we thought very little about these educational wonders. Our family, however, was growing together, sharing experiences and participating in one another’s education. And by looking at us, listening to us, respecting our input, affirming (肯定) our value, giving us a sense of 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. They were imparting (传授) what Papa had known all along — the value of continual learning. His technique has served me well all my life. Not a single day has been wasted, though I can never tell when knowing the population of Nepal might prove useful.

34. The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph refers to “________”

A. one new thing       B. a request       C. the news        D. some comment

35. It can be learned from the passage that the author ________.

A.  enjoyed talking about news

B.  knew very well about Nepal

C. felt regret about those wasted days

D. appreciated his father’s educational technique

36. What is the greatest value of “dinner time” to the author?

A. Continual learning.                        B. Showing talents.

C. Family get-together.                      D. Winning Papa’s approval.

37. The author’s father can be best described as________.

A.  an educator expert at training future teachers

B.  a parent insistent on his children’s education

C. a participant willing to share his knowledge

D.  a teacher strict about everything his students did

Horror seized the heart of the World War I soldier as he saw his life-long friend fall in the battle. Caught in a trench(战壕)with continuous gunfire whizzing over his head, the soldier asked his commander if he might go out into the “No Man’s Land” between the trenches to bring his fallen comrade back.

“You can go,” said the commander, “but I don’t think it will be worth it. Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your own life away.” The commander’s words didn’t matter, and the soldier went anyway.

To one’s surprise, he managed to reach his friend, raised him onto his shoulder, and brought him back to their company’s trench. As the two of them fell in together to the bottom of the trench, the officer checked the wounded soldier, and then looked kindly at his friend. “I told you it wouldn’t 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 friend 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 you’d come.’”

Many a time in life, whether a thing is worth doing or not really depends on how you look at it. Take up all your courage and do something your heart tells you to do so that you may not regret not doing it later in life.

38. What’s the commander’s attitude towards the soldier’s saving his friend?

A. Positive.           B. Negative.                C. Neutral.           D. Supportive.

39. The phrase “No Man’s Land” most probably means “        ” in the passage.

A. the area where there is no man

B. a bare wasteland which can’t be used

C. an unoccupied area between opposing armies

D. the area on the court between the base line and the service line

40. According to the soldier, why did he say “It was worth it.”?

A. Because the soldier saved his friend in time.

B. Because the soldier successfully brought his friend back. 

C. Because what he did will bring him great honor and make him get promoted in his later life.

D. Because his friend was still alive when he reached him and he didn’t make his friend disappointed.

Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp

Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit---and that can be a very annoying thing.   41   Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1. 42

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study.   43  Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk.

Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.   44 

3. Learn something new.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.  45   ,or going dancing with your friends.

A. It should be something like learning gardening.

B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C. Focus on the future.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

E. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.

F. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.

G. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.
