11.Everything was put neatly into my suitcase.I'm a flight attendant.I'm so organized,my half of the closet could be a display at The Container Store.My husband's half of the closet?Just thinking about it make my head ache.I carried my suitcase downstairs.Bill was in the kitchen cooking.Looking at the messy kitchen,I shouted,"Why do you have to be so messy?"Bill look hurt,"What?"I sighed and left for the airport.
On my last flight,an elderly couple had the seats in my section.They held hands during takeoff.Later I caught them looking into each other's eyes.Something about that look was familiar.Then I realized:it was the look Bill and I had worn in our wedding photographs.I couldn't resist asking them about the secret of their long-lasting marriage."Have fun together,"the man said,"and never take each other for granted."
Her words circled in my head long after we landed.Bill wasn't perfect.But then,was I?I kept complaining about his messiness and forgot his kindness,his ability to see the bright side of every situation---qualities that ran so much deeper,the reasons I had married him in the first place.
I took out my cell phone and called Bill."I miss you already."I said."I miss you too,Kim,"he said.As soon as my flights were over,I rushed home.Bill met me at the door."I have a surprise for you."he said and led me into the kitchen.I glanced around the room.He really had worked hard.In spite of the fingerprints on that microwave floor,I could see our reflection in it:my husband and I,our smiles glowing with love for each other,just like in our wedding photos.

B.She didn't love him any more.
C.He left things in an untidy state.

When enjoying children's birthdays or a long-expected family holiday,you may usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph.But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snapping photos at an important event,be aware--you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.

Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.

Maryanne Garry,a New Zealand psychology professor,has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories.I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,she says.Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children,for example,are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them.The picture only captures a small part of the total experience.And because parents remember less about these important events,they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences.As a result,children's own childhood memories are reduced.

The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel’s thinking.She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.

Henkel,who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut,did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university’s art museum.The students observed some objects and photographed others. Then,back at the laboratory,they were given a memory test.Henkel found what she called a “photo-taking effect”.The students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photos of,and they remembered fewer details about those objects.She says her students’ memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.

“As soon as you hit ‘click’ on that camera,it’s as if you’ve decreased your memory.” she says.

1.What does the word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to?

A. A child’s birthday.

B. An important event.

C. A valuable photograph.

D. A family holiday.

2.How did Henkel develop her theory about the “photo-taking effect”?

A. By carrying out an experiment.

B. By giving a questionnaire.

C. By interviewing a group of students.

D. By researching the findings of the others.

3.According to Paragraph 3,why are children’s memories reduced?

A. Flash lights are causing children to forget more things.

B. Parents are into listening to children’s experiences.

C. Children are more into taking photos than experiencing.

D. Parents are less effective in helping children discuss their experiences.

4.What’s the purpose of this passage?

A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.

B. To discuss the effect of photo-taking on memory.

C. To explain how to use cameras in an effective way.

D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.
