When you attend children’s birthdays or a long-expected family holiday，we usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph．But if you’re one of those people who can’t 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 memories．
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 example，are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them．The picture only captures a small part 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 talk about their experiences．As a result，children’s 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 in Connecticut，did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s 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 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，it’s as if you’ve outsourced your memory．”she says．
24．What does the word“it”in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A．An important event． B．A child’s birthday．
C．A valuable photograph． D．A family holiday．
25．According to Paragraph 3，why are children’s memories reduced?
A．Flash lights are causing children to forget more things．
B．Parents are not interested in listening to children’s experiences．
C．Children are more interested in taking photos than experiencing．
D．Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences．
26．How did Henkel develop her theory about the“photo-taking effect”?
A．By carrying out an experiment．
B．By giving a questionnaire．
C．By interviewing a group of students．
D．By researching the findings of the others．
27．What’s 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 effective way．
D．To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences．

Jose Andre Montano Baina was born and raised in the town of Totora，Bolivia—not exactly the home of jazz．But now he is taking the Bolivian and the world music scene by storm．He has already performed in some of the country’s top occasions including the Legislative Palace and alongside famous musicians like Bolivian rocker Glen Vargas— what’s so great about that? How about the fact that Jose is just seven years old and，has no vision!
The young musician began to show his extraordinary music talent at the age of four when he started playing the drums with a high standard of ability and skills，which are usually played by artists three times his age．After mastering them，he quickly moved on to the piano and by the age of five had formed a jazz band! And，while the young boy knows every jazz song in the book and can play them all with great ease and confidence，it is not the only kind of music he enjoys．This Bolivian prodigy(神童)has various musical taste and isn’t limited to jazz．He also loves listening to blues，heavy metal，tango，bolero and anything in between!
His extremely proud father is quick to admit that he has nothing to do with his son’s unusual talent．In fact he didn’t even know much about jazz until Jose started to play．“I didn’t know jazz before，he got me into it．It’s as if he was born a jazz chip(芯片)inside him，I don’t know how to explain how it came about；it’s like the jazz was already inside him．”His father recalled．
As for the young rising superstar，he leads a pretty normal life despite all the fame．Just like the rest of you，he goes to school，does homework and yes，has chores assigned (派给)to him as well !
28．What is the text mainly about?

D．He had talent in music though he was blind．
30．What is the main idea of the last paragraph?

B．Great fame has changed Jose Andre greatly．
C．Jose Andre still lives his normal life as before．
D．Jose Andre devotes all his spare time to music．

Characters in novels don’t always do what the writer wants them to do．Sometimes they cause trouble，take on lives of their own，or even work against the writer．It’s not just a problem for inexperienced authors：famed children’s novelist Roald Dahl said he got the main character in his book Matilda so“wrong”that when he’d finished his first version，he threw it away and started again．
Of course it’s not the characters’fault．The problem lies with the author．Take Stephen King，who admitted that writing working-class characters is more difficult nowadays because his own circumstances have changed．“It is definitely harder，”King said．“When I wrote Carrie many years ago，I was one step away from physical labour．”
This is also true for characters’ages，added King．“When you have small children，it is easy to write young characters because you observe them and you have them in your life all the time．But your kids grow up．It’s been harder for me to write about this little 12-year-old girl in my new book because my models are gone．”
For other authors，such as Karen Fowler，there’s one quality that can stop a character in its tracks：boredom．“I had particular problems with the main character in my historical novel Sister Noon，”she says．“She had attitudes about race and religion that seemed appropriate to me for her time and class，but they were not attitudes I liked．Eventually I grew quite bored with her．You can write a book about a character you dislike or a character you disagree with，but I don’t think you can write a book about a character who bores you．”
According to Neel Mukherjee，it was Adinath，a character in The Lives of Others，who made him work the hardest．“I think I struggled because it’s difficult to write a character whose most prominent personal feature is weakness，as Adinath’s is，without making that feature define him．”Mukherjee says．But a troublesome character is far from an unwelcome guest，he continues，arguing that“when characters work against the author they come alive and become unpredictable”．
“That is a fantastic thing to happen，”Mukherjee says．“I celebrate it．It is one of the great，lucky gifts given to a writer．”
32．What can we infer about Stephen King’s book Carrie?
A．It was his most difficult book to write．
B．It was the first successful novel King wrote．
C．There were few children featured in the story．
D．Some of its main characters were working class．
33．Why did Karen Fowler have trouble writing the main character in her novel Sister Noon?
A．She disagreed with the character’s attitudes．
B．The age difference between the two was too large．
C．She found the character very uninteresting．
D．The historical setting made accuracy difficult．
34．What does Neel Mukherjee think of his difficult-to-write characters?
A．They are a sign that the story is not realistic．
B．They are often the most interesting．
C．They should be praised by an authors．
D．They need to be researched more thoroughly．
35．In which part of the newspaper would you expect to find the passage?
A．Careers． B．Culture． C．Entertainment． D．Lifestyle．

I still remember it was in the winter of 1990 that，together with the help of my older sister，I 41 down my wishes for Christmas onto a piece of paper．How I wished on Christmas Eve my grandest wish would be 42 and placed under the Christmas tree—a puppy．When we were done，our wish-lists were collected by our parents with the promise to be 43 to Santa’s hard-working helpers．
The next day，our parents sat us down in the living-room，with 44 expressions on their faces．As it 45，they had seen our wishes，now wanting to talk to us about one wish 46the puppy．For a moment，I held my breath，but was 47 when they told us that they weren’t against a puppy．What they 48 against was putting it under the Christmas tree．That was not a good idea．
