问题     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. [br] What suggestion does the author make in the last paragraph?
选项 A、Enrich your experiences by sharing them online.
B、Make efforts to make your life attractive to others.
C、Stop externalizing your personal experiences.
D、Record the details of what you see, smell and hear.
答案 C
解析 本题考查最后一段中作者给出的建议。定位句提到，一旦你停止从推特、脸谱网或照片分享应用上关注你的人的视角来看待事物时，你就能使你的经历变得有意义，因为你就在那里，你看到了那些画面，闻到了那些气味，听到了那些声音，而不是因为通过半英寸的镜头拍下了照片。由此可知，作者建议不要外化自己的个人经历，而要自己细细体味这些经历，故答案为C。A“通过在网上分享自己的经历而使其丰富”、B“努力使自己的生活看起来吸引人”和D“详细记录下你所看到的、闻到的和听到的一切”都不是作者给出的建议，故排除。
