问题     As Internet users become more dependent ono the Internet to store information, are people remembering less? If you know your computer will save 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 how the Internet is changing memory. In the first experiment, they gave people 40 unimportant facts to type into a computer. The first group of people understand 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 first 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 computer. The information was in a specific computer folder. Surprisingly, people later remember the folder location（位置）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. Instead, computer users are developing stronger transactive memories: that is, people are learning how to organize huge quantities of information so that they are able to access it at a later date. This doesn’t mean we are becoming either more or less intelligent, but there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing.
What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow’s research? (          )
选项 A、We are using memory differently
B、We are becoming more intelligent
C、We have poorer memories than before
D、We need a better way to access information
答案A
解析 根据文章最后一句中’there is no doubt that the way we use memory is changing”可知，网络使人们的记忆方式发生了改变，即与以往的记忆方式有所不同，A项符合。B项指的是我们会变得更加聪明。C项指的是我们比起以前记忆力更差了。D项我们知道我们需要更好的方式来处理信息。
