Reading needs us to focus all our attention 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 knowledge from audiobooks as effectively as we do from paper books?Researchers did an experiment to find the answer. Volunteers in group one were asked to listen to an audiobook while volunteers in group two read a book of the same content.It turned out that they recalled the same amount of information,whether they listened to it or read it. Another study published in the Journal of Neuroscience further supported the result above.In the study,researchers scanned people's brains when they listened to and read books.The result showed that listening to audiobooks activates 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 multitasking."If you're trying to learn while doing two things,you're not going to learn as well,"Daniel Willingham,a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia.told The New York Times. ()46.The audiobook users are freer in than paper book users. A.age and place B.price and time C.time and place D.price and age ()47.What might the word "recall"mean?
