As Internet users become more dependent on 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 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 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 Internet. The information was in a specific computer folder (文件夹). 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.

1.What can we learn about the first experiment?

A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.

B. The first group didn’t know where the information is.

C. The two groups remembered the information equally well.

D. The second group had a better memory of the information.

2.In transactive memory, people ______.

A. know how to access huge amounts of information later.

B. learn how to organize small amounts of information.

C. organize huge quantities of information like a computer.

D. bear huge quantities of information in mind.

3.What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?

A. We are becoming more intelligent.

B. We are using memory differently.

C. We have poorer memories than before.

D. We need a better way to access information.

Whether you survive a cardiac arrest may depend, at least in part, on which emergency medical services (EMS) agency shows up to treat you, a new study suggests.

Researchers found a wide variation in cardiac arrest survival rates depending on which EMS agency provided initial treatment, according to the study published in JAMA Cardiology. The odds of surviving to hospital discharge(出院)could vary by more than 50 percent for two similar patients treated by two randomly selected EMS agencies. “We found large outcome variations between EMS agencies that come after a cardiac arrest even after adjusting for many factors,” said lead author Masashi Okubo, an instructor of emergency medicine at the University of Pittsburgh.

The study did not reveal why some EMS agencies did better than others, however. “We need to determine in future research what are the underlying factors,” Okubo said.

Cardiac arrest “is the abrupt loss of heart function, and if appropriate steps are not taken immediately it most often is fatal,” explained Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiovascular medicine and science at the David Geffen School of Medicine at the University of California at Los Angeles. He also is co-director of the UCLA Preventive Cardiology Program. “Each year in the United States, more than 350,000 cardiac arrests occur outside the hospital setting.”

Altogether, the researchers studied 43,656 patients treated from 2011 to 2015 by 112 EMS agencies. When they looked at how many patients survived long enough to be discharged from the hospital, variations among agencies were quite large: the worst performing agency had 0 survivors out of 36 patients treated, or 0 percent, as compared with 66 survivors out of 228 patients treated, or nearly 30 percent, for the best-performing agency.

The pattern was similar when it came to recovery of function by the time a patient was discharged from the hospital. The worst performing agency in this category had favorable functional recovery in 0 out of 87 patients, or 0 percent, while the best had favorable functional recovery in 11 out of 54 patients, or 20 percent.

“These findings suggest there may be important differences in the quality of resuscitation efforts among different EMS agencies,” Fonarow said in an email.

Also, he said, “More layperson interventions(非正式人员干预)such as timely CPR (cardiopulmonary resuscitation 心肺复苏术) and more EMS personnel responding to cardiac arrest patients were related to better outcomes.

“These findings suggest that dissemination of best practices and use of formal quality improvement programs by community-based EMS agencies may help to improve quality and outcomes in cardiac arrest,” he said.

Can anything be done in the meantime?

Yes, said Fonarow, who was not involved in the new research. “When performed promptly and properly, CPR can markedly improve the chance of survival for someone having an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest,” he said. “The best advice that might save lives of loved ones if a cardiac arrest occurs is to learn CPR. Anyone can and everyone should learn CPR.”

1.What does the new study tell us?

A. EMS agencies have adjusted outcome variations.

B. People with cardiac arrest depend on EMS agencies.

C. Initial treatment has been provided for cardiac arrest patients.

D. Cardiac arrest survival is partly determined by certain EMS agencies.

2.The underlined word “odds” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.

A. probabilities　　 B. examples　　 C. difficulties　　 D. differences

3.According to Okubo, what are they planning to do in future research?

A. To determine which EMS agencies are good.

B. To reveal the underlying factors of cardiac arrest.

C. To find out the hidden reasons for better EMS agencies.

D. To identify the relationship between different EMS agencies.

4.What does “the pattern” in Paragraph 6 refer to?

A. The worst performing agency.　　 B. The best performing agency.

C. The large variations among agencies.　　 D. The comparison between survivors and patients.

5.According to the findings, what leads to better outcomes in cardiac arrest?

A. more layperson interventions　　 B. better quality in EMS agencies

C. better practices in CPR　　 D. more EMS members

6.What is Fonarow’s attitude towards CPR?

A. Arbitrary.　　 B. Favorable.　　 C. Contradictory.　　 D. Doubtful.
