After reading an article in the Herald about memory loss and dementia, I can assure readers that today’s generation has been inflicted with a syndrome that makes certain we will be able to remember every waking(and otherwise)moment of our lives. Like many Australians, I’ve been canonised: I have taken incessant photography as my new religion.
I’ve looked through my grandmother’s photo albums, and they contain about as many photos for a lifetime as you could hold on a 32-megabyte memory stick. Life-changing experiences such as climbing Uluru, riding a gondola in Venice or walking on the Great Wall of China are interrupted by scores of people huddling around a small LCD screen to check their progress mid-conquest. "Hey, honey, look at me hanging off this cliff. Do I really look like that in a helmet?"
Have you noticed that everybody looks perfect during their camping trips these days? It’s because airbrushing is now available to the man on the street. Teeth not as white as they used to be? No need to pay the dentist, Photoshop will ensure that only your best self is displayed to the world.
After the mass adoption of the digital camera came personalised photo websites. There is a shrine to the narcissistic where pages of every movement are captured and displayed for all of us to trawl through. Previously, people might have gathered infrequently for a photo; now I can’t go anywhere without being hounded by my friends. Every 10 minutes a new pose must be struck at least three times because we don’t have to wait until the pictures are developed before realising Mum’s got her eyes closed. Hair not perfect? Don’t worry, we’ll take it again. These days, any given event will result in at least 100 photos being taken, which—if compiled into an album and the pages flipped rapidly—could be sold to Disney as an animation strip.
With most new digital cameras as small as mobile phones, it wasn’t long before the two merged. I fear, however, that the two combined have exacerbated the problem. Not only do we have to contend with mates sending pictures of themselves at football games, concerts or holidays while we’re at our desk, looking after the kids, taking out the garbage—but we hear about it— simultaneously.
The digital revolution has made photography infinitely easier. When we get home from a five-day trip of standing either behind the lens or in front of it, we can email pictures to everyone in our address book, then spend hours printing the photos, only to discover that the ink cartridge has run out of magenta. When booking holidays, tell your boss you’ll need an extra day’s leave at the end for "holiday downloading and recapture". I don’t pity the older generation losing their memory, remembering everything is not all it’s cracked up to be. [br] It can be inferred from the passage that______.
选项
A、nothing can help you to stay young forever
B、recording every moment of life is only a dream
C、remembering everything may not be as happy as you think
D、losing memory is a better choice for people living in the modern society
答案
C
解析
细节题。从整篇文章的叙述语气和文章最后一句I don’t pity the older generation losing theirmemory,remembering everything is not all it’s cracked up to be.可以判断[C]为答案。[A]“什么也不能使你永葆青春”和[B]“纪录生命的每一时刻只是一个梦想”均与文章内容不符;[D]“失去记忆是生活在现代社会的更好选择”有失偏颇,在文中并未提及。
