As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information,do people remember less?if you know your computer will store information,why do you 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 made some experiments(实验).She and her research team wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.

    In the first experiment,they asked two groups of people to put 40 unimportant facts into a computer.The first group of people understood that the computer would store the information.The second group understood that the computer would not store 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 the second experiment,the researchers gave people facts to remember,and told them where to find the information on the Internet.The information was in an exact in an exact computer folder(文件夹).Surprisingly,people later remember where the folder is better than the facts.When people use the Internet,they do not remember the information.However,they remember how to find it.This is called "transitive 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 transitive memories;that is,people are learning how to organize a lot of information so that they are able to get it at a later date.This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less clever,but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

(1)Why does the writer begin the text with two questions?    

A.To explain some thoughts.

D.Group 2 remembered the information better.

(3)What do we know about transitive memory from the second experiment?    

A.People organize the information like a computer.

B.People remember how to find the information.

C.People remember how to make a folder.

D.People keep the information in mind.

When most people decide to buy food, they go to a grocery store. Grocery stores sell many different kinds of food in just one store. Some grocery stores also sell household goods such as kitchen paper, cleaning things, and diapers (尿布). A grocery store is a convenient place to shop for the kitchen and others.

Although it is comfortable and relaxing to shop at a grocery store, some people decide to buy their food from other places like farmers' markets. At a farmers' market, local farmers sell the foods they grow to customers. The foods they sell often include fruits, vegetables, and meats. Most of these foods are freshly harvested(收获)with no man-made additions.

There are several ways in which farmers' markets are less convenient than grocery stores. For example, packed foods usually are not sold at farmers' markets. Besides, many farmers do not accept credit(信用)cards or checks (支票)as payment for their goods. What is more, most farmers' markets are only open for business once or twice each week. This makes some people not want to shop at farmers' markets, but others are willing because of the fresh and local food there.

Deciding whether to shop for food at grocery stores or at farmers' markets is a personal choice. This choice reflects a person's values about life and about food.

"I have no special talent.I'm only passionately curious. " This famous quote from Albert Einstein might tell the reason for his success.When Newton discovered gravity,and when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb,their curiosity was greatly satisfied.If they hadn't been curious,what a loss for humans!

    There is a common truth that intellectual curiosity (求知欲)contributes to school performance more than intelligence.Some studies also show there are benefits of curiosity in improving the long ﹣ term level of learning and memory,and a lot of positive results are connected with curiosity.

    It has been known that both animals and humans are willing to take a risk to satisfy their curiosity despite knowing that the result will remain unchanged.Despite there being different views on the reason for curiosity,most experts reach an agreement that like the way the stomach looks for food,our brain looks for knowledge.People and animals are eager to know things because getting that information means a reward.

    An interesting thing is that our brain will release a pleasure﹣related chemical when it has been given new information ,making seeking information much like eating — another pleasant activity.Researchers newly found that increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals.However,how exactly the chemical plays a role still remains a mystery.

    Considering the present level of research on curiosity and the driving force of curiosity,including scientific curiosity,more research should be carried on in this field.It's safe to say that curiosity itself will help uncover curiosity.And remember even though the idiom says "Curiosity kills the cat",it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.

(1)What do the examples mentioned in Paragraph 1 intend to tell us?   

A.The importance of being curious.

B.The advice from successful people.

C.The reason why humans keep curious.

D.The relationship between curiosity and efforts.

A.It often requires long﹣term training.

B.It helps people develop a positive lifestyle.

C.Students with it learn better than those smart ones.

D.Students born smart often have stronger intellectual curiosity.

(3)Which of the following ideas is generally accepted about curiosity?   

A.Human curiosity comes when they want to change results.

B.It is natural and common among humans and animals.

C.It is often related to some adventurous activities.

D.Animals' curiosity appears with hunger.

A.Curiosity takes many different forms.

B.People may make mistakes because of strong curiosity.

C.Curiosity makes people dissatisfied with their present situations.

D.People should do more research on curiosity with some curiosity.

Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste,according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (联合国粮农组织).Supermarkets throw away food that is not sold before its sell﹣by date,while families throw away food that they can't finish eating.

The world's first food bank was founded in the US in 1967.Some people and stores donated (捐赠) extra food to the bank.People could take the food home there if they didn't have money to buy any for themselves.In Shanghai,there is a "shared fridge" in some communities.It is free for everyone to take food from it.

A UK company called The Real Junk Food Project says that food that has passed its sell﹣by date is still safe to eat.They collect this food from supermarkets and sell it in cafes.You only have to pay as much as you feel is necessary.If you don't want to spend money,you can volunteer at the cafes instead.

Nowadays,kuakuaqun or praise groups have become more and more popular on the Internet,Their aim is to comfort young people.These groups provide words of support for those who are unhappy.

Spending just a little money,you can enter such a group.Share your problems or success,and you will receive positive messages soon.These messages,mostly from strangers,will help you feel better.A leader of one of the groups talks about his first purpose,"I want to help people learn to praise others and accept others,praise."

I like the idea of kuakuaqun.However,I think getting praise from strangers online isn't very useful in the long run.This is especially true when you are paying for the praise.These people don't know you,so the praise may not be earnest.Real and meaningful praise comes from the people you know.

Not getting enough sleep is bad for health.Depending on the research from the scientists,people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize (社交) with others.They are simply too tired to go out.

The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had good sleep after a sleepless night.The participantswatched videos of people with neural (中性的) expressions walking towards them.When the person on the video got too "close" to them,they pushed a button to stop the video.

The participants kept the person at a distance of 60% further if they hadn't got enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was being invaded (侵占) .But when the participants got a good night's sleep,they allowed the person to get much closer to them.

The result shows that the less sleep you get,the less you want to socialize with others.In turn,other people may think you are strange and stay away from you.So if you want to be a more sociable (喜欢与人交往的) and popular person,sleeping well might help.
