Volcanoes
Words& Expressions
1. volcano n. 火山
extinct volcano 死火山
active volcano 活火山
dormant volcano 休眠火山
2. Kivu n. 基伍湖
火不相容,这是妇孺皆知的简单道理。倘若说湖水点火就会自己燃烧起来,恐怕有人听后会捧腹大笑。且慢!这并不是天方夜谭式的笑话,而是在位于刚果与卢旺达两国交界处的基伍湖里所存在着的奇特而真实的现象。基伍湖底蕴藏着大量的沼气,沼气是可以燃烧的,这也是人人尽知的事实。
湖面上繁殖着大量浮游生物,这为湖中的鱼类提供了充分的食料。基伍湖的湖水还有一个明显的特点,即自然地从下而上分成明显而稳定不变的层次,而且越是往下,湖水的含矿化程度越高,密度也就越大,从250米处的深度继续往下,湖水便完全处于一种静止状态。
3. Congo n. 刚果
刚果是非洲内陆国家刚果共和国(The Republic of Congo)的简称,该国是非洲西部的一个国家。首都为布拉柴维尔。该国接壤于刚果民主共和国、喀麦隆、中非共和国、加蓬以及安哥拉等国,毗邻几内亚湾。1964年2月22日与中国建交。

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 if 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.
