Passage（E）Do we remember by Google?The Internet is becoming our main source of memory instead of our own brains, a study has concluded.In the age of Google, our minds are adapting(适应) so that we are experts at knowing where to find information even though we don’t recall what it is.The researchers found that when we want to know something we use the Internet as an ‘external memory’ ju st as computers use an external hard drive（外接硬盘）.Nowadays we are so reliant on our smart phones and laptops that we feel at a loss when we can’t find out something immediately.And we depend on the Internet connection so much that without it, we feel ‘more and more like losing a friend’.The researchers carried out four tests to check their theory.The tests involved giving participants a trivia quiz and then seeing whether they recognized computer-related wordsmore quickly than other words.The other tests involved seeing if people remembered 40 pieces information they would later have normally looked up.The third and fourth parts of the study involved checking how well people remember where to look up information on-line and whether or not they remembered the location more than the actual data.The results showed that when people don’t believe they will need information for a later test, they do not recall it at the same rate as when they do believe they will need it.‘People don’t make the effort to remember when they think they can look up information later,’, says the study.The other results showed that when they have Internet access , people are better at remembering where they can find it than the details.108.What has the new study found？_________________________________________________________________109.
