Recently the Barbican museum in London held an exhibition called the Rain Room. During the time this exhibition was open, my Twitter stream was filled with photos of people standing in the Rain Room, accompanied by the caption(标题)" Rain Room @ The Barbican!" and a location attachment to prove that they were indeed in the Rain Room.
This got me thinking. What were people actually saying by Tweeting about their visit? I think all they were doing was meeting the obligation that we have to share. Not sharing in the sense of treasuring a moment with people close to us, but sharing in the sense of "notify the world that I am doing a thing".
It’s not sharing; it’s showing off. When we log in to Facebook or Twitter we see an infinitely updating stream of people enjoying themselves. It’s not real life, because people only post about the good things whereas all the dull or deep stuff doesn’t get mentioned. But despite this obvious fact, it subconsciously makes us feel like everyone is having a better time than us.
This is the curse of our age. We walk around with the tools to capture extensive data about our surroundings and transmit them in real-time to every acquaintance we’ve made. We end up with a diminished perception of reality because we’re more concerned about choosing a good Instagram filter for our meal than how it tastes.
I don’t think that it’s inherently wrong to want to keep the world updated about what you’re doing. But when you go through life robotically posting about everything you do, you’re not a human being. You’re just a prism(棱镜)that takes bits of light and sound and channels them into the Cloud.
The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you’re detracting(转移)from them because all your efforts are focused on making them look attractive to other people. Once you stop seeing things through the eyes of the people following you on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, you can make your experiences significant, because you were there and you saw the sights and smelled the smells and heard the sounds, not because you snapped a photo of it through a half-inch camera lens.
It seems to the author that______.
选项
A、Facebook or Twitter is a good place where we share personal experience
B、people seldom show depressing stuff on the social networking websites
C、most of people tend to show off that they are having a better time than others
D、sharing experience on the social networking websites is not real life
答案
B
解析
观点态度题。本题考查作者对分享经历的看法。由定位句可知,在作者看来,人们通常只愿意贴出好东西,而不愿提及那些无聊或是深沉的东西。B)中的depressing stuff是原文中all the dull or deep stuff的同义转述,故为答案。A)“脸普网和推特是我们分享个人经历的好地方”原文未提及,故排除;C)“多数人都喜欢炫耀他们过得比别人好”是对原文第三段末句的曲解。第三段末句提到,人们拍照炫耀自己的经历会让我们潜意识里觉得每个人都比我们过得好,C)推断过度,故排除;D)“在社交网站上分享经历并不是真实的生活”是对原文第三段第二、三句的曲解。原文第三段第二、三句的意思是:每次我们登陆脸普网或者推特时,总能看见大家似乎都过得挺开心,这其实不是真实的生活,因为大家都只把自己好的东两上传,D)是对原句的曲解,故排除。
