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 computer. 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(获取) 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.58. the passage begins with two questions to _. a. introduce the main topic b. show the authors altitudec. describe how to use the interne. d. explain how to store information59. what can we learn about the first experiment?a. sparrows team typed the information into a computer. b. the two groups remembered the information equally well.c. the first group did not try to remember the formation. d. the second group did not understand the information.60. in transactive memory, people _.a. keep the information in mind b. change the quantity of information c. remember how to find the information d. organize information like a computer 61. what is the effect of the internet according to sparrows research? a. we are becoming more intelligent. b. we are using memory differently.c. we have poorer memories than before. d. we need a better way to get information. 第二节：根据短文内容，从a、b、c、d和e中选出最适合填入短文空缺处的选项，选项中有一项是多余选项。some years ago on a hot summer day in south florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole that was behind his house. in a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. he flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (美洲鳄鱼) was swimming toward the shore. his mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. in utter fear, she ran toward the water, yelling to her son as loudly as she could. 62 it was too late. just as he reached her, the alligator reached him. from the dock, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. 63 the alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. a farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim, and shot the alligator. remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. 64 and, on his arms were deep scratches where his mothers fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.the newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the trauma(痛苦的经历), asked the boy if he would show him his scars. the boy lifted his pant legs. and, then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “but look at my arms. i have great scars on my arms, too. i have them because my mom wouldnt let go.” we have scars, too. not from an alligator, but the scars of a painful past. 65 we foolishly get into dangerous situations, not knowing what lies ahead. the swimming hole of life is filled with danger and we forget that the enemy is waiting to attack. that is when the tug-of-war begins. if you have the scars of love on your arms, be very, very grateful. and never judge another persons scars, because you dont know how they were made. asome of those scars are unsightly and have caused us deep regret.byou are a child of god. he wants to protect you, and provides for you in every way.chearing her
