The next time your friends roll their ey...

The next time your friends roll their eyes when youre snapping a selfie (自拍照) or taking a photo of your dessert, tell them that photographing everyday things can actually make people happier.

    In a study of more than 2,000 people, researchers found that people who took photos of their experiences, whether they were walking through a museum or going on a city bus tour, had a better time overall compared with those who didn’t.

    During each of the study’s nine experiments, people were asked to either take photos or give up photography during an everyday activity, such as eating a meal. In nearly every experiment, the group that took photos showed higher levels of enjoyment.

    The finding might not sound terribly surprising. After all, Facebook members upload about 2 billion photos daily, and Instagram users upload about 80 million photos every day. But some people argue that taking photographs can distract (分散注意力) themselves from enjoying an experience while its happening.

    The new research shows that it isn’t the case and that photography does increase a person’s enjoyment, because it increases his or her engagement in the activity. For example, in one experiment, people toured a museum while wearing glasses that tracked their eye movements. The group that took photos spent more time looking at the artifacts than those who didn’t.

    However, photos are sometimes a drag. For instance, if the camera is difficult to carry, it might not bring enjoyment to a person. And in some cases, photography can make situations unpleasant. For example, when people in the study took a virtual safari (游猎) and watched some lions attacking a water buffalo, the people who took photos of the bloody event were reported to have a lower enjoyment of the activity than those who didnt, the researchers said.

1.Why does taking photos increase enjoyment?

A. People can share their photos on Facebook.    B. People have more time to look at the objects to be photographed.

C. Some photos may end up as valuable artifacts.    D. Photography gets people more involved in the activity.

2.What can we infer from the last paragraph?

A. Photography sometimes can be dangerous.

B. Photography requires more courage to do.

C. Photography is an unpleasant process.

D. Photography isn’t fun all the time.

3.Which of the following is closest to the main idea of the text?

A. Photography helps you appreciate people around you.

B. Snapping a selfie is a symbol of self-confidence.

C. Taking photos doesn’t ruin your experience.

D. The photo-taking process is a mental choice.

 

1.D 2.D 3.C 【解析】这是一篇社会生活类文章。一些人认为,参加活动的时候拍照会分散他们的注意力,使他们不能很好地享受这种经历。但是,研究表明,情况并非如此,拍照会让一个人更好地投入到活动中去,使他们更加快乐。 1.细节理解题。由倒数第二段中的“The new research shows that …photography does increase a person’s enjoyment, because it increases his or her engagement in the activity”可知,摄影的确会使人更快乐,因为摄影提高了人们对这个活动的参与度。故D选项切题。 2.推理判断题。由最后一段中的“However, photos are sometimes a drag”可知,有时候,拍照也会成为一件令人不愉快的事。下文以例子证明了这一点。故可推知,拍照并不永远是令人快乐的事。D选项正确。 3.标题归纳题。一些人认为,参加活动的时候拍照会分散他们的注意力,使他们不能很好地享受这种经历。但是,研究表明,情况并非如此,拍照会让一个人更好地投入到活动中去,使他们更加快乐。所以,C选项适合做该文标题:拍照并不会毁掉你的经历。

Time, wars and natural disasters have a bad effect on the artistic and cultural objects in the world. More than 1,000 years ago, a fire destroyed the  Library of Alexandria in Egypt. In 1755, an earthquake destroyed Ribeira Palace in Lisbon, Portugal, along with artworks inside. In modern times, the Taliban destroyed the huge Bamiyan Buddhas in Afghanistan.

    As we all know, museums play an important part in our daily liv es. They store evidence of culture and history and exhibit great works. A major goal of most museums in the world is to make sure that important historical objects do not disappear forever. The Uffizi Gallery in Florence, Italy, holds 1,250 pieces of ancient Greek and Roman sculpture. These objects have inspired artists and historians for many years. So the museum is working to make a complete and permanent (永久的) record of the artworks.

    The project is an effort of both the museum and the scientists from Indiana University in the United States. The team is using technology to create digital copies (数字复制品) of Uffizi’s ancient sculptures.

    The process is called photogrammetry (摄影制图法). At one time, this process was slow and expensive. But not anymore, said Professor Robert Frischer. He said photogrammetry is now much faster and cheaper. Now they can gather the 3-D data on a life-size sculpture in half an hour and they can process the data just in a couple of hours.

    The images allow the viewer to examine the sculpture from all sides. And when the viewer zooms in (用变焦距镜头放大), the image becomes clearer. The Uffizi hopes to have the collection completed and available on the Internet by 2020.

1.What can we learn about the world’s artworks?

A. Some of them have been destroyed.

B. They were destroyed by accident.

C. They were not protected by humans.

D. Most of them are kept in Afghanistan now.

2.Why do Uffizi Gallery and Indiana University work together?

A. To build the largest museum.

B. To create long-lasting artworks.

C. To introduce some ancient sculpture.

D. To encourage more artists and historians.

3.What can we learn about photogrammetry?

A. It is still expensive.

B. It is a time-saving step now.

C. It does great harm to the artworks.

D. It was invented by Robert Frischer.
