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.
What do we learn from the first two paragraphs?
选项
A、Rain Room exhibition received a large audience in London.
B、Most of people feel obligated to share their experience with friends.
C、Many people want to notify others of their experience by Tweeting.
D、All people having gone to the Rain Room took pictures.
答案
C
解析
主旨大意题。本题考查前两段的主旨大意。该题型适合用排除法。A)“雨室的展览迎来了很多观众”,作者在原文第一段提到展览期间其推特上出现了很多有关人们看展览的照片,但这并不能推测看展览的人真的很多,故排除;B)“多数人都觉得有义务跟朋友分享他们的经历”,原文第二段第三、四句提到,人们拍照传到网上不是与亲近的人分享快乐时光的那种分享,而是“告诉世界我在做某件事情”的那种分享,故排除,并由此推断出C)“许多人都想通过在推特上发动态的方式告诉别人他们的经历”为答案;D)“所有参观过雨室展览的人都拍了照片”原文未提及,故排除。
