Alison now gets help with her problem and feels she has changed.She no longer thinks she's a shopaholic. "When I want to buy something in a shop,I ask myself two questions, "she says. "Do I need it?Can I afford it?The answer to both questions is usually 'no',so I walk away.It's great!"

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.

B.To introduce the main topic.

C.To show an opinion.

D.To draw the readers' attention.

(2)What can we learn form the first experiment?    

A.Sparrow put the information into the computer.

B.Both groups remember the information well.

C.Group 1 remembered the information faster.

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.

(4)What's Professor Betsy Sparrow's conclusion(结论)?

Over the years,Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start.Marianne kept a special box of "love letters" to the magazine.She treasured these letters from Cricket readers,including long﹣ago readers.They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.

She considered other names,such as Troubadour or Taliesin,the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories.Then,one night,she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer's memoir(回忆录)A Day of Pleasure,about his childhood in Warsaw.In it he wrote:There was a stove in Shosha's apartment behind which there lived a cricket.It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cricket was telling a story that would never end. "That's exactly what Marianne wanted her children's magazine to do-to tell stories that would never end!So the name Cricket became her best choice.

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why?Some people think kindness is something out of love and care,while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate (激活)an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood (情绪).But why and how does it happen?Here are a number of different ways.

Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation,people around may be smiling,too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain(链条)of good feelings to people around?

Secondly,being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly,charities(慈善)also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.

In another recent research,even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind,he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.

The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood,but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood,you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship,doesn't it?
