   As Internet users become more dependent on the Internet to store information, are people remember less? If you know your computer will save information, why 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 conducted some experiments. She and her research team wanted to know 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 an the Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location (位置) better than the facts. When people use the Internet, they do not remember the information. Rather, 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 huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. 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.

【小题1】The passage begins with two questions to ________.
A.introduce the main topicB.show the author’s altitude
C.describe how to use the InterneD.explain how to store information
【小题2】What can we learn about the first experiment?
A.Sparrow’s team typed the information into a computer.
B.The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C.The first group did not try to remember the formation.
D.The second group did not understand the information.
【小题3】In transactive memory, people ________.
A.keep the information in mind
B.change the quantity of information
C.organize information like a computer
D.remember how to find the information
【小题4】What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
A.We are using memory differently.
B.We are becoming more intelligent.
C.We have poorer memories than before.
D.We need a better way to access information.

Well, parents, surprise! Lots of us are using Twitter and Facebook to find rides, and not just to school. It’s awkward to call a friend and ask for a ride, and half the time they’ll say, “Sorry, my car is full.” But with Twitter, you just tweet (贴子,留言) and look for other people heading the same way.
It may sound risky, but many teens stay within their own social circles to find rides, and don’t branch out beyond friends of friends when asking on Twitter. For me, I only rideshare with people I know, but to some young people, especially those taking longer trips, stranger danger is less of a concern.
The sharing economy got big during the recession(经济衰退). It allows people to access more goods and services using technology, while also allowing them to share cost. And that technology, for me, is what the car was for my mom, a gateway to more freedom.
According to the researchers at the University of Michigan, 30 years ago, eight in ten American 18-year-olds had a driver’s license. Today it’s six in ten. So it’s not that surprising that on my 16thbirthday I wasn’t rushing to get a license. All I wanted was an iPhone. Juliet Schor (Sociology professor at Boston College) knows people my age love being connected and for young people driving means they have to disconnect from their technology, and that’s a negative. So if they could sit in the passenger side and still be connected, that’s going to be a plus.
To me, another plus is ridesharing represents something much bigger than trying to save money. I see it as evidence that people still depend on each other. My generation shares their cars and apartments the way neighbors used to share cups of sugar. For the system to work, some of us still need our own cars. But until I get my own version of the silver Super Beetle, you can find me on Twitter.
【小题1】The writer usually rideshares with _____.
A.anyone heading the same wayB.people he knows
C.friends of friendsD.strangers of his age
【小题2】Fewer young people choose to ride by themselves because _____.
A.driving means offering free rides to others.
B.getting a driving license becomes more difficult.
C.driving one’s own cars causes a negative impression.
D.driving makes them disconnected from technology.
【小题3】We can conclude from the passage that _____.
A.the writer rideshares just to save money
B.people under 18 are not allowed to drive
C.silver Super Beetle is the writer’s favorite
D.the older generation had to fight for freedom
【小题4】Which is the best title for the passage?
A.Teens use Twitter to thumb rides.
B.Tips on reducing risks in ridesharing.
C.Car is no longer a gateway to freedom.
D.New generation knows how to save money.

   Online shopping has become very popular in recent years. It’s a brand new way for shopping, and at the same time, it saves money because items sold online are much cheaper. Therefore, customers from different countries are changing their ways of shopping. As for some wise men, they find another way to save much more money-using online coupons(优惠券)to shop. Online coupons enable them to get the items they want to buy much cheaper.

As we all know, sometimes manufacturers, shops, restaurants and entertainment clubs will provide special offers. For example, a shirt asks for $100, but if a coupon is used, the customers may get the shirt at $90. Sometimes, by using a coupon, one can luckily get a free product. Online coupons work in the same way; online shoppers get discounts by using online coupons.

In this case, you are advised to do some research to make sure whether there is a coupon or vouchers(代币券)concerned with the items you want to buy online. Then comes the point where to find online coupons. Usually there are three ways:

1. Find the official websites of the brands. To promote sales, some brands will offer online coupons on their own websites.

2. Visit the special coupon websites. There are special websites where coupons from many shops, restaurants and so on are gathered. Buyers input(输入)keys of coupons they are fond of, and thousands of related coupons in different cities in America will be listed. To narrow down your list, just click the district you are located in.

3. Pay attention to some social websites. To let more people know coupon information, some shops will show their information on social websites where a lot of online buyers visit.

Because information on the Internet often cannot be cleaned in time, much invalid information will be searched out. So when you find a proper coupon, please don’t get carried away. Read the information carefully, ensuring that they have not expired(失效)yet. If interested, you can visit Couponeed. com to find coupons and save money.

If you don’t think technology can improve your trip better, meet Judy. When she recently checked into the Biu Hotel in Zurich, a clerk asked her to pay hundreds of dollars higher than the online offer. It was not a cheap stay, but it became more of one after she fired up the Booking. Com app she’d used to purchase her room on her smartphone. “As soon as I showed him the rate, he honored it,” Judy says.
Technology may create challenges for travelers-indeed, it may have led to Judy’s rate confusion in the first place-but it can also solve them. The solutions go beyond making sure of a hotel rate. The latest version of Booking.com is among the most feature-rich booking programs. Users can select hotels by location, make a secure booking and view the confirmed rate.
Another pain point for travelers is traffic that eats away precious vacation time. There’s a new app for that, called Commute. As the name implies, it’s aimed at users who have to make the same trip every day. Just input basic information about your destination and expected leaving time, and the app will start sending you traffic data 15 minutes before you leave.
Another source of travel-related conflict and confusion is money. That’s particularly true when you’re dealing with a foreign currency. The latest version of Travel Money Tracker helps travelers prevent currency mix-ups. It instantly converts(兑换) a country’s native currency to yours, so you know exactly how much that Espresso(浓咖啡) in Milan costs in dollars. One extra feature is the ability to set up an alert that tells you when you’re overspending, which can sometimes be a problem when you’re on vacation. The only catch, of course, is that you have to remember to record all your purchases.
【小题1】What does the example of Judy want to show?
A.The rate of Biu Hotel was higher than that of others
B.Technology can make our trips better
C.The clerk was very friendly and patient
D.The smart phones have many functions
【小题2】What is the main function of Travel Money Tracker?
A.It tells people how much Espresso costs
B.It warns when people are overspending
C.It records all people’s purchases
D.It changes the native currency to yours
【小题3】What’s the purpose of the passage?
A.To encourage people to travel
B.To help people with technology problems
C.To introduce some new apps
D.To provide people with traveling information
