What’s the best way to remember our happiest moments, like a birthday or festival? I bet you would answer , “Take lots of photos!” Well, here is a great surprise. People who always take photos may actually be harming(伤害) their memory, because they’re not concentrating on the event itself. That’s according to new research by Fairfield University, Connecticut, in the US. They call this the “photo-taking impairment(损害) affect”.
“People so often take out their cameras almost mindlessly to catch a moment, to the point that they are missing what is happening right in front of them,” Henkel and her team decided to perform an experiment. They wanted to find out whether taking photos in a museum weakened(减弱) 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 what they had seen. In addition(另外), the amount(数量) of detail(细节) 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.Which of the following is NOT true about the experiment?
A. People who didn’t take photos did better in the experiment.
B. They asked a group to try to remember what they had seen.
C. The experiment aimed to learn what people were interested in at the museum.
D. People who took photos in the museum could remember less details.
3.According to the passage, we’d better _________.
A. never use our cameras
B. remember an event by heart
C. always remember an event with the help of a camera
D. see everything only with our own eyes
4.What do the results of the experiment show us?
A. The mind’s eye and the camera’s eye are not the same.
B. People remember happiest moments by taking photos.
C. Looking back at old photos helps us remember an event.
D. People don’t like taking photos.
5.Where can we probably read this passage?
A. The entrance of a museum.
B. A guidebook on how to take good pictures.
C. An instruction of how to use a camera.
D. A scientific report.
