13、g that our connection to the web is affecting how we think.Professor Evan Risko, of the Department of Psychology at the University of Waterloo, led a recent study where the team asked about 100 participants （参与者） a series of general-knowledge questions, such as naming the capital of France. For half

14、 of the study, participants had access to the Internet. They had to look up the answer when they responded that they did not know the answer. In the other half of the study, participants did not have access to the Internet.The team found that the people who had access to the web were about 5 percent

15、 more likely to say that they did not know the answer to the question. Furthermore, in some cases, the people with access to the Internet reported feeling as though they knew less compared to the people without access.“With the popularity of the Internet, we are almost frequently connected to large

16、amounts of information.

Yet about 30 percent of honeybees in the United States and other areas have died in recent years.Mike Leggett is a researcher at the Universi

22、ty of Maryland. He wants to learn why so many bees are dying. “The number of colonies （蜂群） that die every winter has been one in three.

23、ybees carried to their homes.
