This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it.“In order to remember, we have to access（接近）and interact with the photos, rather than just amassing them,” Henkel told The Telegraph.However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they arent usually very organized on their computers.34 . The author mentioned Henkels trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning to _.Acomplain about some tourists bad habitsBgive suggestions on how to enjoy ones tourCdescribe the great view of the Grand CanyonDpoint out peoples obsession with taking pictures35 . Which of the following statements about Henkels study is TRUE?AReviewing pictures always helps people bring back memories.BTaking pictures in a museum tour helps students recognize objects better.CPictures that focus on the details of objects are likely to improve peoples memories.DPeople should spend more time studying real objects than taking pictures of them.36 . The underlined word “amassing” in the last paragraph probably means _.AdisplayingBcollectingCintroducingDremembering37 . What is the article mainly about?AHow pictures remind us of our past.BSome skills to learn for taking pictures.CHow to deal with pictures after taking trips.DPeoples obsession with taking pictures and its influence.五、用单词的正确形式完成句子child truth check out make part withchild truth check out make part with38 .
