In this way computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals and banks were allowed to use it, too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of 1990s, computers became cheaper and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” the Internet easier.Today it is easy to get on-line and it is said that millions of people use the Internet every day.

I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(伤害) their memory, because theyre not concentrating on the event itself. Thats according to new research by Fairfield University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(损害) affect”.“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(减弱) a visitors memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum, and either take photos of the items on display, or try to remember what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(数量) of detail(细节) they remembered was worse than those who didnt take photos. “These results show how the minds eye and the cameras eye are not the same,” said Henkel.But dont put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event, compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time youre thinking of taking a photo, just think: is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes, or behind the eye of the camera?32 . （小题1）When we take photos, we _.Afail to focus on the event itselfBcant record the detailsCremember what we have seenDare likely to have a poor memory33 . （小题2）Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment?APeople who didnt take photos did better in the experiment.BThey asked a group to try to remember what they had seen.CThe experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.DPeople who took photos in the museum could remember less details.34 . （小题3）According to the passage, wed better _.Anever use our camerasBremember an event by heartCalways remember an event with the help of a cameraDsee everything only with our own eyes35 . （小题4）What do the results of the experiment show us?AThe minds eye and the cameras eye are not the same.BPeople remember happiest moments by taking photos.CLooking back at old photos helps us remember an event.DPeople dont like taking photos.36 . （小题5）Where can we probably read this passage?AThe entrance of a museum.BA guidebook on how to take good pictures.CAn instruction of how to use a camera.DA scientific report.三、语法填空There 37 .
