Our brains believe infrmatin autmatically — even if it’s false(假的) — because we can learn efficiently this way. “We’re learning false infrmatin nt because we’re pr learners r nt wrking hard,” says David Rapp, a psychlgy and educatin prfessr at Nrthwestern University. “In many cases, it’s a useful skill fr us t accept what peple tell us, because ften what peple tell us is true. ”
When we hear new infrmatin, thse fresh facts dn't cver what we knew befre. We'll draw n ld r new infrmatin when the situatin cmes up. ▲ Shrt-term memries are easier fr ur brains t access than facts we heard lnger ag, because they're fresher in ur minds-even if they're wrng. Since we have t think back further t remember ld infrmatin, we will ften ignre it in favr f new infrmatin. New infrmatin is what we're currently thinking abut r has been recently presented t us, while the ld ne isn't as readily available.
We als buy int the facts that seem mre reasnable. Often, this means they fit better with what we want t believe, which can explain why peple qute（引用）different facts in plitical debates. Bth candidates said smething that was bjectively true r nt, but peple wuld g with what they hpe t be true.
Things get even trickier when truth and falsehd cexist in the infrmatin. Fr instance, ur brains aren't sure whether t believe the descriptins f Lndn in Harry Ptter. "Dn't lk fr that train statin t Hgwarts, but there might be streets mentined that are real, " says Dr. Rapp. In fact, ur brains can keep track f what's true r false by mentally tagging（标记）facts as either true r false, but srting all that infrmatin takes time. In many cases, we are unlikely t think critically t get infrmatin, especially when we are reading fr pleasure.
Hwever, it's wrth putting in the extra effrt t have a secnd thught abut the infrmatin that seems dubtful. "With the ease that we can lk things up n the Internet, " says Dr. Rapp, "there's n reasn nt t." "Seek ut reliable surces," he adds.
42. Which f the fllwing is best fr the missing sentence in Para. 2?
A. We always find the infrmatin updating fast nwadays.
B. Frm time t time, we fail t remember unimprtant things.
C. Oftentimes, we use the infrmatin we heard mst recently.
D. We hardly see ld infrmatin that is different frm the truth.
43. The underlined phrase "buy int"（in Para. 3）can be best replaced by .
A. learn frmB. believe inC. care abut D. cme up with
44. Why des the writer mentin Harry Ptter in Para. 4?
A. T shw the infrmatin we get can be a mix f true and false.
B. T suggest peple are unable t think critically when reading.
C. T warn readers f the negative influence f false infrmatin.
D. T explain hw typical facts are mentally tagged as true r false.
45. What can we learn frm the passage?
A. Our brains can d very little with false infrmatin.
B. Shrt-term memries can cver lng-term memries.
C. Dr. Rapp calls n peple nt t depend n the Internet.
D. Peple need t duble-check the infrmatin they questin.
