24、How GPS Weakens Memory — and What We Can Do about It
Using mobile phones to navigate (导航) has become second nature. Whether you’re heading to a new park or meeting friends at a restaurant, you just enter the address on your phone and go. Without GPS, exploring (探索) and wayfinding in new places required preparation. We had to think, check paper maps, and plan and memorize ways there. But today there is no need to think. Simply follow the turn-by-turn directions on your phone, and you’ll end up where you need to be. However, your overall sense of the place suffers. Spatial (空间的) navigation used to be a process performed by the human brain and perceptual system, but now people have surrendered it to technology.
There are areas of the brain that deal with these difficult pathfinding tasks. In particular, the hippocampus is related to spatial memory, spatial navigation and mental (在脑中的) mapping. Studies show that we can exercise the hippocampus memory through exploration and spatial navigation. For example, expert navigators like London taxi drivers have larger hippocampi compared to other people.
However, when we follow a set of turn-by-turn directions, GPS navigation apps treat us as passive passengers rather than active explorers. In turn, this stops us from being able to create proper mental maps, and has an effect on the hippocampus, which is very important for brain health.
While improvements in technology clearly have many benefits, we must remain mindful that technology can influence the brain. Our question is: Can we find a way to still use GPS but reduce the harmful effects on memory?
The challenge is to create other forms of GPS navigation that will remain easy enough for the general public, and at the same time, enable people to improve their spatial sense. Our research finds that properly designed audio beacons (音频信标) offer a much more active form of GPS navigation. For example, with an audio beacon at a hospital, when we are two miles away from the hospital, we can hear a sound through our phone. In recent experiments, we discover that this type of sensory navigation through audio beacons does better than turn-by-turn navigation in the creation of mental maps. We believe these results, at least in part, come from people taking a more active role in their navigation.
GPS navigation using audio beacons offers a good example that helps humans connect more deeply with reality; perhaps instead of turning into mindless robots, we will be able to become more deeply involved with humanity, our local environment, and life itself.
【1】GPS weakens people’s memory because it ______.
A.records the places people have been to
B.offers people more than one way to a place
C.takes the place of thinking process in wayfinding
D.fails to teach people how to prepare for exploring
【2】The words “have surrendered it to” in Paragraph 1 probably means ______.
A.have compared it to
B.have given it up to
C.have learned it from
D.have taken it away from
【3】London taxi drivers are mentioned in Paragraph 2 to show that ______.
A.GPS is not widely used in London
B.the hippocampus memory can be exercised
C.hard-working drivers have larger hippocampi
D.active explorers are better than passive passengers
【4】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Turn-by-turn GPS navigation helps create mental maps.
B.Audio beacons technology will be replaced in the future.
C.Users’ active role should be considered in navigation technology.
D.GPS navigation apps have come a long way in helping with our memory.
25、There is a sign at a Korean university asking tourists not to step into the grass to take photos. The sign is not written in Korean or English; it is written in Chinese.
These signs, and signs in other countries warning Chinese tourists about their behavior, have shamed many Chinese who worry about the image of the country.
Over 70 million Chinese tourists made overseas trips last year and spent $102 billion, more than the $84 billion spent by American and German tourists. For many Chinese tourists, it was their first trip abroad and they didn’t know about foreign ways. And some of these tourists took their bad habits from China with them.
Wang Yang, a Chinese deputy prime minister(国务院副总理), said, “They(the tourists) speak loudly in public, carve words or numbers on tourist attractions, cross the road when the traffic lights are still red and spit anywhere. It damages(毁坏) the image of the Chinese people and has a very bad influence.”
Before you travel to a foreign country, it’s important to learn some things about the country and its culture. You are guests in the country and it’s important to respect(尊重) your hosts. As more and more Chinese visit foreign countries, their behavior will certainly change and those shameful signs will, hopefully, disappear.
【1】 The sign at a Korean university is written in ______.
A. Chinese B. English
C. Korean D.Japanese
【2】How do many Chinese feel about the signs?
A. Proud. B. Interested.
C.Bored. D.Shameful.
【3】The passage is written to ______.
A. order the Korean universityto clean up signs with Chinese words
B. advise the overseas Chinese tourists to change their behavior
C. ask Chinese people not to spend too much money traveling abroad
D.ask people to travel to Korea as much as possible
【4】What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Signs Shame Overseas Chinese Tourists
B. Foreign Culture Makes Bad Influence
C. Foreign Countries Attract Chinese Tourists
D. Chinese Tourists Like Foreign Culture
26、Parents can be very important teachers in our lives. However, they are not always the best teachers. Parents may be too close to their children emotionally (感情上). Sometimes they can only see their children through the eyes of a protector. For example, a teacher might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience. However, it might seem too dangerous to a parent.
Another problem is that parents may expect their children’s interests to be similar to their own. If they love science, they may try to force their child to love science too. But what if their child’s true love is art, or writing, or car repair?
Parents usually want to pass on their values to their children. But should children always believe what their parents do? When children are young, they believe that their parents are always right. But when they get older, they will have different ways of thinking.
The most important thing to realize is that we all have many teachers in our lives. Our parents teach us, our teachers teach us, and our friends teach us. Books and newspapers and televisions also teach us. All of them are valuable.
【1】__________ might see a trip to a big city as a valuable experience, according to the passage.
A.A parent
B.Either a teacher or a parent
C.A teacher
D.Neither a teacher nor a parent
【2】Parents may hope that their children have the same __________ as their own, according to the passage.
A.looks
B.interests
C.habits
D.jobs in the future
【3】The underlined phrase “pass on” in the 4th paragraph means “__________”.
A.路过
B.继承
C.传递
D.领悟
【4】When children get older, they ________.
A.don’t believe their parents any more
B.should always believe what their parents do
C.believe that their parents are always right
D.begin to have their own ways of thinking
【5】What is the best title of the passage?
A.Never grow up!
B.Believe your parents forever.
C.Are parents always the best teachers?
D.How many teachers can we have in our lives?
27、I still needed a lot of things. “Well,” I said, “I’m going to have to make them.” So, every day, I worked.
First of all, I wanted to make my cave bigger. After many days of hard work, I had a large cave in the side of the hill. Then I needed a table and a chair, and that was my next job. I had to work on them for a long time. I also wanted to make places to put all my food, and all my tools and guns.
I also went out every day, and I always had my gun with me. Sometimes I killed a wild animal, and then I had meat to eat.
But when it got dark, I had to go to bed because I had no light. For a long time, I didn’t know what to do. But in the end, I learned how to use the fat of dead animals to make a light.
The weather on my island was usually very hot, and there were often storms and heavy rain. The next June, it rained all the time. I was also ill for weeks, but slowly, I got better.
I was on the island for ten months before I visited other parts of it. During those months I worked hard on my cave and my house and my fence. Now I was ready to find out more about the rest of the island.
First, I walked along the side of a little river. There, I found open ground without trees.
Later, I came to more trees with many different fruits. I decided to take a lot of the fruit, and to put it to dry in the sun for a time. Then I could keep it for many months.
