12、 bring a spare set of clothes. Thats because for a few days in spring, people crowd the streets and pelt(投掷)anyone walking by with brightly-colored powder to celebrate the arrival of spring and the end of evil. Its hard to avoid the fun and the paint, unless you stayinside or look angry enough to di

13、scourage the custom.“Watch out, madam!” said my taxi driver in Amritsar as we drove through a crowd of young people pelting each other with powder. “The colors never come out of your clothes,” he said. “And you might be having purple hair for many days.”I did a quick check.

14、lor rarely seen in India. It is usually connected with the lowest social classes, and can be viewed as unlucky. I was happy for my clothes to be painted in colors.“I have some powder I bought for my children. You can have some gladly, to join in our customs.” he encouraged. Holding what the driver h

15、anded me as my weapon of choice, I walked into the Holi smoke. At first people politely avoided foreigners. Butthen a girl in a sari(一种印度服饰)ran up smiling and put paint on my face.

20、e 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 firs

21、t 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 fi

22、rst 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 specific computer folder (文件夹). Surprisingly, people la

23、ter remember the folder location 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.

24、 Instead, computer users aredeveloping stronger transactive memories; that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they areable to access it at a later date. This doesnt mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the waywe

25、use memory is changing.24. What can we learn about the first experiment?A. Sparrows team typed the information into a computer.B. The two groups remembered the information equally well. C.

What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrows research? A. We are using memory differently.B. We are bec

27、oming more intelligent.C. We have poorer memories than before.D. We need a better way to access information.CTraveling with kids is 90 percent reminding yourself to live in the moment and 10 percent making up your mind to never again leave your house.I have an uncanny ability to forget this as soon

28、as we return home from a trip and Ive finished washing piles of dirty clothes in our luggage and cleaning all the messy caused by the kids. Extremely tired and annoyed, I would actually begin to miss the place we just left!Family travel is like childbirth, I suppose. Painful, loud, messy, sort of aw

29、ful, actually, but also wonderful. And you remember only the wonderfuluntil youre back on a plane and your kids are fighting over who gets the aisle seat. Then you remember the bad stuff.Last weekend, my kids and I flew to Texas for a trip we would have nothing to complain aboutbig hotel, wonderful

30、view.And yetwe found things to complain about. The pool was bigger in that other hotel! Why do you get to shower first? They call this coffee?! Luckily, Ive learned to put my metaphorical coat of armor (盔甲) on as soon as we land somewhere, and it forcescomplaints to bounce (弹起) off me and land in a

31、pile at my feet.For three days, genuine fun was had and annoying complaints were heard and ignored. Until it was time to catch a plane and fly home. Unfortunately, our flight was canceled. We spent hours finding a hotel room. We hit the hotel pool before bed and swam well into the night, my kids mak

32、ing up songs and laughing so hard at their silly lyrics and their crazy good luck to be swimming at10: 30 on a school night.And that was when it hit me that family travel is all those things I said before but its also a lot more. Its taking your kids to parts of the world that will open their eyes and finding that actually, yours need opening too. Its remembering that joy and memories are where you make them, not where you find them.
