浙江省湖州市吴兴区2023-2024学年八年级上学期英语期末试题
When you go to the park, you might find many older people listening to audiobooks (有声书) instead of reading paper books. Audiobooks have become quite popular these days. Why are more and more people choosing audiobooks over traditional books? Is listening to an audiobook just as good as reading a book?
Reading needs us to focus on the words in a book, and we also need to find time and a place to sit down and read. However, you can listen to audiobooks anytime and anywhere you like, and it gives your eyes a break, too.
But the big question is, do we get as much information from audiobooks as we do from paper books? Scientists did an experiment (实验) to find the answer. People in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while people in group two read the same paper book. It turned out that people in group one remembered as much information as people in group two do. They remembered the same amount (量) of information, whether they listened to it or read it.
Another study from a scientific magazine further supported the result above. In the study, scientists studied people's brains when they listened to and read books. The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates (激活) almost the same parts of the brain as reading does.
However, some people still believe that they learn better from reading paper books. One reason might be that when we listen to audiobooks, we are often doing other things at the same time. "If you're trying to learn while doing two things, you're not going to learn as well," Daniel Willingham, a professor at the University of Virginia, told The New York Times.
