Are your Facebook friends more interesting than those you have in real life? Has high-speed Internet made you impatient with slow-speed children? Do you sometimes think about reaching for the fast-forward button, only to realize that life does not come with a remote control? If you answered yes to any of those questions, exposure to technology may be slowly reshaping your personality. Some experts believe excessive use of the Internet, cellphones and other technologies can cause us to become more impatient, impulsive, forgetful and even more narcissistic(自我陶醉的).
In a study to be published in the journal Cyberpsychology, Behavior and Social Networking, researchers from the University of Melbourne in Australia subjected 173 college students to tests measuring risk for problematic Internet and gambling behaviors. About 5 percent of the students showed signs of gambling problems, but 10 percent of the students posted scores high enough to put them in the at-risk category for Internet "addiction."
Technology use was clearly interfering with the students’ daily lives, but it may be going too far to call it an addiction, says Nicki Dowling, a clinical psychologist who led the study. Ms. Dowling prefers to call it "Internet dependence."
Typically, the concern about our dependence on technology is that it takes away our time with family and friends in the real world. But psychologists have become intrigued by a more subtle and insidious(潜伏的)effect of our online interactions. It may be that the immediacy of the Internet, the efficiency of the iPhone and the anonymity(匿名状态)of the chat room change the core of who we are.
There is no easy way to conquer a dependence on technology. Nicholas Carr, author of the new book "The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains," says that social and family responsibilities, work and other pressures influence our use of technology. "The deeper a technology is woven into the patterns of everyday life, the less choice we have about whether and how we use that technology," Mr. Carr wrote in a recent blog post on the topic.
Some experts suggest simply trying to reduce the amount of time you spend online. Set limits for how often you check e-mail or force yourself to leave your cellphone at home occasionally. The problem is similar to an eating disorder, says Dr. Kimberly Young, a professor at St. Bonaventure University in New York. Technology, like food, is an essential part of daily life, and those suffering from disordered online behavior cannot give it up entirely and instead have to learn moderation and controlled use. She suggests therapy to determine the underlying issues that set off a person’s need to use the Internet "as a way of escape."
What do psychologists think about the immediacy of the Internet?
选项
A、It increases our dependence on technology.
B、It reduces our dependence on technology.
C、It benefits the shaping of our personality.
D、It reshapes our personality intrinsically.
答案
D
解析
由immediacy of the Internet定位到第4段。第4段第2句中的more subtle and insidiouseffect(更加细微、隐伏的影响)和第3句提到的change the core of who we are(改变我们的性格)表明,the immediacy of the Internet(网络的迅捷)以一种潜在的方式改变着我们的性格。由此可见,本题应选D“它从本质上重新塑造我们的性格”。
