John Constable was born in Suffolk, England, on 11 June 1776. His family hoped that he would join his father's business, but he showed great interest in art when he was very young. Finally, his family allowed him to enter the Royal Academy School, a very famous art college in England, at the age of twenty-two.
At the Royal Academy, he was a good student, spending all his spare time drawing and reading.
He showed his first painting in 1802. Constable believed the greatest art came from using the inspiration(灵感) of nature, rather than using various techniques (技巧) and imagination on art.
In his lifetime, Constable never had much money. His fame only grew after his death. He was unable to earn a living from the paintings. To support his family, Constable often drew portraits( 肖像)of others. But it was something he never really enjoyed. He was attracted by the beauty of the British countryside.
He sold more paintings in France than in his home country, England, at first. But when given the chance to travel to sell his paintings abroad, he said he would rather “be a poor man in England than a rich man abroad.”
Constable died in 1837. During his lifetime he got little praise in his home country for painting countryside scenery. Yet he is now considered to be one of the greatest British artists.

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 much 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.
32. The passage begins with two questions to ______.
A. introduce the main topic B. show the author's attitude
C. describe how to use the Internet D. explain how to store information
33. What can we learn about the first experiment?
A. Sparrow's team typed the information into a computer.
B. The two groups remembered the information equally well.
C. The first group did not try to remember the information.
D. The second group did not understand the information.
34. In transactive memory, people ______.
A. keep the information in mind B. change the quantity of information
C. organize information like a computer D. remember how to find the information
35. What is the effect of the Internet according to Sparrow's research?
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.

Dear Jenny,
How is everything? Recently, with the Chinese New Year approaching, an exhibition on Chinese paper-cutting will be held in our city library this weekend. Knowing that you are interested in traditional Chinese culture, I am writing to invite you to the exhibition.
Paper-cutting is a Chinese folk art with a long history, which dates back to the time of the Northern and Southern Dynasty. Paper cuts are not only used for patterns on clothing, decoration but for religious purposes and have been an important part of everyday life in China. As for the display itself, you will have the chance to enjoy all kinds of beautiful paper cuts. What’s more, you can’t miss the DIY part. I’m sure it’s worth a visit.
I’m looking forward to your replay.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
