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 if 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”.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 large amounts of information so that they are able to find 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.8. the passage begins with two questions to _.a. describe how to use the internet. b. introduce the main topic.c. show the authors attitude. d. explain how to store information.9. 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 second group did not understand the information.d. the first group did not try to remember the information.10. in transactive memory, people _.a. remember how to find the informationb. keep the information in mind.c. change the quantity of information.d. organize information like a computer.11. what is the effect of the internet according to sparrows research?a. we are becoming more intelligent. b. we have poorer memories than before.c. we are using memory differently. d. we need a better way to get information.dkids in primary schools

district got some support to bring back music this school yearmany school officials across the country say music classes get students excited about going to schooland studies have shown that music

learned to play a musical instrument developed faster than the brains of kids who didntthough most people arent against teaching music in schools, not everyone says its necessary. many school officials argue(争论) that learning music means less time spent on maths, writing, and science, all of which may be more useful to students later in lifeheres what two of our readers thinkmusic should
