From children’s birthdays to that long-awaited family holiday, we all want to remember those important moments with a photograph. But if you’re one of those people who can’t stop snapping photos at an important event, beware-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 party 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 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 outsourced your memory,” she says.

24. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refers to __________.

A. a child’s birthday B. an important event

C. A valuable photograph D. A family holiday

25. According to Garry, what will be the result of parents frequently taking photos of their children?

A. Parents will be very skillful at taking photos.

B. Children will enjoy many more beautiful pictures.

C. Children will become more important in their parents’ eyes

D. Parents will appreciate these important moments less.

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

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

B. Parents are not interested in listening to children’s experiences.

C. Children are more interested in taking photos than experiencing.

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

27. What’s the purpose of this passage?

A. To introduce a new discovery in taking photos.

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

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

D. To describe the ways of remembering valuable experiences.

Sina Weibo, one of the country’s most popular micro-blogging sites, has launched a paid service. For a 10 yuan ($ l.57) monthly fee, users get a membership on their Sina Weibo accounts.

According to Xu Yuanyuan, a member of the marketing team at Sina, the move is to guarantee a more convenient and safer environment for users. But despite the company’s efforts to increase income, it seems that most of its 300 million users still prefer the free version.

The premium membership (高级会员) plans ,announced by the company on Monday, brought about negative comments from its users .

“The current service is good enough for me”, said a Beijing-based micro-blogger. “I don’t really need those value-added services and it might be a waste of money. I might consider paying for it if some more features are added.”

Dong Xu, an analyst with consulting firm Analysis International, said that Sina shouldn’t expect a great increase in income brought by the new services. The free services are enough for most users, Dong said. “The company has been making attempts at different profit models since last year. A potential source of income could be gaming. Games and advertisements are so far the two biggest sources of income.” she said.

Other micro-blogging service providers have not yet followed suit. Fang Gang, vice-president of rival Sohu, said via e-mail on Tuesday that Sohu’s micro-blogging service will never charge users. “It’s good news for us. Users can come to our website if they have to pay for services (at Sina).” Fang said.

28. Most of Sina Weibo’s users .

A. aren’t satisfied with its free version B. show no interest in its paid services

C. are looking forward to new services D. think highly of its new paid version

29. What’s Dong Xu’s attitude towards Sina Weibo’s new services increasing income?

A. Negative. B. Confident .
