24、   As people use computers to store information, are they remembering less? If you know your computer will save information, why do you store it in your own personal memory, your brain? Experts(专家) are wondering if the Internet is changing what we remember and how.

In a recent study, Professor Betsy Sparrow did some experiments（实验）. She and her research team wanted to know how 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 computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location 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 "transactive 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 transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize much information so that they are able to find it later. This doesn't mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.

【1】In Paragraph 1, the passage begins with two questions in order to ______.

A.introduce the main topic B.show the writer's opinion

C.describe how to use the Internet D.teach how to store information

【2】Why did Professor Betsy Sparrow and her research team do the experiments?

A.They wondered if people could store information in the brain.

B.They wanted to know how the Internet is changing memory.

C.They gave people facts to remember.

D.They helped people become more intelligent.

【3】What can we learn about the first experiment?

A.Sparrow typed the information into a computer herself.

B.Both of the two groups remembered the information well.

C.The first group did not try to remember the information.

D.The second group did not understand the information.

【4】In transactive memory, people ______.

A.keep the information in mind B.change the information the computer

C.organize information like a computer D.remember how to find the information

【5】The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means “ ”?

A.lazy B.free C.clever D.lucky

25、Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity (邻近) more than anything else. Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities and interests. It’s the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands nearest to you has the greatest influence on you. As Jim Rohn has widely said. “You are average (平均) of five people you spend the most time with.”

Over the past ten months, I’ve paid Ryan, a famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I’m writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a drab (草稿), he shows me how it could be 10 times better, and he holds me to that standard.

___▲___ It’s because that I don’t know what I don’t know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful.

Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. He’s been speaking and doing events for 20 years. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection (反映) on him. It’s not a bad thing because it creates high pressure (压力) to help me make great progress in organizing author training.

In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential. Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don’t change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance. You can’t ignore this.

【1】The first paragraph tells us that ________.

A．People make friends mainly based on their age.

B．People make friends mainly based on their interests.

C．People make friends mainly based on their similar personalities.

D．People make friends mainly based on their proximity more than anything else.

【2】Why did the writer quote (引用) Jim Rohn’s words in Paragraph 1?

A．To support the writer’s opinion.

B．To introduce the writer’s best friend.

C．To show Jim Rohn’s working ability.

D．To prove Jim Rohn is a great person.

【3】Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3?

A．It’s not that my workmates’ abilities are low.

B．It’s not that my working ability was born low.

C．It’s not that friends based on proximity.

D．It’s not that I’ve paid Ryan to help me with my book.

26、 I began to send e-mails when I was 17. I discovered Google 5 years later. Now, I use the internet all the time.

They go to websites to get information for their homework.

"Kids are now living in a virtual(虚拟的) world," says Greenfield, an expert at University of California, "As the Internet is becoming more and more important for our life, we should worry about one question: Is the Internet good or bad for kids? "

"It's ***to answer the question because the Internet involves(涉及) so many things," says Justine, who is from Northwestern University. "They include online computer games, news, messages and even e-mails to your grandmother." So more and more people believe that the online world can be helpful in some ways but dangerous in others.

“Although it's not easy to tell whether it's good or bad,”says Justine, "the Internet, at least, is very useful and can be  used widely by everyone in the world.
