18、it will happen.A team of US psychologist (心理学家) have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.“Socializing is just as useful as more traditional kinds of mental(脑力的) exercises in boosting memory and intellectual performance,” Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the Un
19、iversity of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.In one investigation (调查), they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.They find that the higher their level of social interaction (交流), the better their cognitive(认知的) functioning. Social interaction includes getting toget
20、her or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors. In another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate (评估) how social interactions and mental exercises influenced the results of memory and intellectual performance tests.
21、The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the mental activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control g
22、roup watched a 10-minute film of the Seinfeld television show.“We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved the students intellectual performance as much as working on so-called mental activities for the same amount of time,” Ybarra said.The study was expected to

Dorothy picked up Toto and ran to the cellar door. Before she could climb down the l
26、adder into the cellar, a great cyclone (龙卷风) picked up the house. It turned it round and round and round and then carried it high into the sky.It was not very dark. Dorothy felt as if she were riding through the sky. She held on to Toto and climbed under her bed, where she stayed for several hours.
27、Then, although the house was still moving, she fell asleep.When she woke up, she did not know how much later, the house was on the ground. It was in a field full of flowers, and there were hundreds of beautifully colored birds flying about and singing. Not far away, there was a stream with clear, fr
28、esh water.Dorothy was still under her bed. She got up and left the house. She was surprised to see three little men and a little woman walking toward her. They were very strangely dressed. The mens clothes were white and had little stars all over them.When they saw Dorothy, they walked up to her and
29、 bowed (鞠躬).“Welcome to the land of the Munchkins,” one of the little men said. “We thank you for killing the Wicked Witch of the East. Now our people are free.”“Im afraid you are making a mistake,” Dorothy said. “I didnt kill any witch.”“Your house did,” one of the little men said. “Look!”He pointe
30、d to the house. Dorothy saw two feet sticking out from under it.“Oh!” Dorothy shouted. “The house fell on her. What can I do?”“There is nothing to do,” the little woman said. “The Wicked Witch of the East is dead, and theMunchkins are thankful to you.”“Are you a Munchkin?” Dorothy asked.“No, but I a

Most said students should spend less time remembering facts and have more space for creative activities. As the Internet g
34、rows more powerful, students can get knowledge easily. Why should they be required to carry so much of it around in their heads?Civilizations (文明) develop through forgetting life skills that were once necessary. In the Agricultural Age, a farmer could afford to forget hunting skills. When societies
35、industrialized, the knowledge of farming could be safe to forget. Nowadays, smart machines help us to get most human knowledge. It seems that we no longer need to remember most things. Does it matter?Researchers have realized several problems that may happen. For one, human beings have biases (偏见),
36、and smart machines are likely to increase our biases. Many people believe smart machines are necessarily correct and objective (客观的), but machines are trained through a repeated testing and scoring process. In the process, human beings still decide on the correct answers.Another problem relates to t
37、he ease (容易) of getting information. When there were no computers, efforts were required to get knowledge from other people, or go to the library. We know what knowledge lies in other brains or books, and what lies in our heads. But today, the Internet gives us the information we need quickly. This
38、can lead to the mistaken beliefthe knowledge we found was part of what we knew all along.In a new civilization rich in machine intelligence (智慧), we can easily get to smart memory networks where information is stored. But dependency on a network suggests possibilities of being harmed easily. The col
39、lapse of any of the networks of relations our health depends upon, such as food and energy, would produce terrible results. Without food we get hungry; without energy we feel cold. And it is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.We forget old way
40、s to free up time and space for new skills. As long as the older forms of knowledge are stored somewhere in our networks, and can be found when we need them, perhaps theyre not really forgotten. Still, as time goes on, we slowly but unquestionably become strangers to future people.34Smart machines a
41、re likely to increase our biases because _.Athey go off course in testing and scoringBwe control the training process on themCwe offer them too much informationDthey overuse the provided answers35The ease of getting information from the Internet _.Afrees us from making efforts to learn new skillsBpr
42、events civilizations from being lost at a high speedCmisleads us into thinking we already knew the knowledgeDseparates the facts we have from those in the smart machines36According to this passage, the following are true except _.AMost young scientists replied to Science that students should have mo
43、re creative activities.BNowadays, with smart machines, people no longer need to remember most things.CThe use of smart machines causes some problems to people.DIt is through widespread loss of memory that civilizations are at risk of falling into a dark age.37The writers main purpose in writing this
44、 passage is to _.Aquestion about the standards of information storageBdiscuss our problems of communication with machinesCstress the importance of improving our remembering abilityDremind us of the risk of depending on machines to remember四、根据汉语提示填空38She accidentally _（跨步）on my foot and said sorry t
