16、portant moments with a photograph. But if youre one of those people who cant stop snapping photos at an important event, beware-you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memorie
17、s.Maryanne Garry, a New Zealand psychology professor, has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories. “I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,” she says. Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children, for
18、 example, are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them. The picture only captures a small party of the total experience. And because parents remember less about these important events, they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to ta
19、lk about their experiences. As a result, childrens own childhood memories are reduced.The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel thinking. She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.Henkel, who researches human memory at Fairfield University
20、in Connecticut, did an experiment by sending groups of students to the universitys art museum. The students observed some objects and photographed others. Then, back at the laboratory, they were given a memory test. Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”. The students remembered fewer
21、of the objects that they had taken photos of, and they remembered fewer details about those objects. She says her students memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.“As soon as you hit click on that camera, its as if youve outsourced your memory,” s

25、perimentB. By giving a questionnaireC. By interviewing a group of students D. By researching the findings of the others30. Whats the purpose of this passage?A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.C. To explain how to use cameras in an effe
26、ctive way.D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.BThe human body is an amazing machine. Its tough, and we usually recover from illness or injury on our own, without the help of a doctor. But what happens when we need medical treatment? In the past, some people went to a hospital
27、 to see a medical doctor. Others preferred traditional treatments, such as herbal medicine or acupuncture (针灸). These two types of medicine-one modern and Western and the other ancient and Eastern-used to have nothing to do with each other.In recent years, however, people have begun combining both m
28、odern medical science and more traditional treatments. This new kind of medicine is often called integrative medicine because it integrates, or combines, different types of medical approaches. Some of the principles of integrative medicine include preventing illness by helping people stay healthy, i
29、ntegrating different types of treatments according to patient needs, and considering the health of the whole person rather than concentrating on a particular illness or injury.One health organization in America has opened its Integrative Medicine and Wellness Center. At the center, members are offer
30、ed different services. Those suffering backache can try massage to relax their muscles and encourage the flow of healing energy in their body. Those with allergies are helped to develop their bodys natural resistance. And those who arent ill, but want to improve their strength and focus their mind,
31、take tai chi or yogo classes.Integrative medicine patients appreciate having an alternative to surgery or to drugs and their harmful side effects. They also enjoy activities and treatments that make them feel better even if they are not sick. And economically, preventing illness is much less expensi
32、ve than a hospital stay.According to Dr. Andrew Weil, founder of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, integrative medicine combines the best parts of Western medicine with traditional therapies. And because both doctors and patients are working to prevent illness, they b
