Do you love taking photos with a camera? People who always take photos may actually be harming their memory,because they’re not concentrating on the event itself.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly (不費(fèi)心思地) to catch a moment,and they are missing what is happening right in front of them ,” said Linda Henkel,from the university. Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened a visitor's memory of what they had seen. So they simply told a group to look around the museum,and either take photos of the items on display,or try to remember them. The next day,the group was tested.
People who took photos in the museum were less likely to remember what they had seen. In addition,the amount of detail they remembered was worse than those who didn't take photos. “These results show how the mind's eye and the camera's eye are not the same,” said Henkel.
But don't put your camera down just yet. Other studies have found that looking back at old photos helps us remember an event,compared to just taking a photo and forgetting about it. So next time you’re thinking of taking a photo,just think： is it better to look at the beauty around you with your own eyes,or behind the eye of the camera?
1. When we take photos,we .
A. fail to focus on the event itself
B. can't record the details
C. remember what we have seen
D. are likely to have a poor memory
2. The underlined word “weakened” in the passage probably means “”.
A. 支持 B. 撫養(yǎng)
C. 增強(qiáng) D. 減弱
3. Which of the following is TRUE about the experiment?
A. It aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
B. They asked a group to take photos of everything in the museum.
C. People who didn't take photos did better in the experiment.
D. People who took photos in the museum could remember more details.
4. Where can we probably read this passage?
A. The entrance of a museum.
B. A scientific report.
C. An instruction of how to use a camera.
D. A guidebook on how to take good pictures.
很多人都喜歡拍照作紀(jì)念。而一項(xiàng)新的研究卻發(fā)現(xiàn)，拍 照會(huì)損害人們充分記住這些事物的能力。
1. A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第一段的“…because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. ”可知，當(dāng)我們拍照時(shí)， 我們不能集中全部精力在眼前正在發(fā)生的事情上，故 選A項(xiàng)。
2. D 詞義猜測(cè)題。由下文的 who took photos in the museum were less likely to remember可推斷，研究人員做實(shí)驗(yàn) 是想弄清楚拍照是否能使一個(gè)人的記憶力減弱；由構(gòu) 詞法也可猜測(cè)該詞的意思：weak的意思是“弱的”，后 綴-en接在形容詞后面構(gòu)成動(dòng)詞，有“使，成為”等含 義。由此可猜測(cè)weaken意為“使變?nèi)酢保蔬xD項(xiàng)。
3. C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。由第三段的detail they remembered was worse than those who didn't take photos 可知，在實(shí)驗(yàn)中 拍照的人能夠記起的細(xì)節(jié)不如沒有拍照的人，故選C項(xiàng)。
4. B推理判斷題。文章提到研究人員通過做實(shí)驗(yàn)得出這樣一個(gè)結(jié)論:拍照會(huì)損害人們充分記住這件事的能力。 由此可推斷我們有可能在科學(xué)報(bào)告上讀到這篇文章。

A 15-year-old student who invented a flashlight (手電筒) getting power from the holder's body heat is going home today from California with a big prize and a chance to do further research.
Ann Makosinski was the only Canadian among the four winners at Google's international science competition. Thousands of young scientists from around the world took part in the competition.
Winning the science and technology competition was “a surprise”. Ann said, “I think it will have a great influence on my future. ”
