How many phone numbers can you remember by heart It’s probably fewer than you would like. Actually, you’re not alone. Some people said that they couldn’t recall the phone numbers of their friends and neighbors. And others said that they couldn’t remember their relatives’ phone numbers. In their eyes, there is no point in filling their heads with phone numbers if they’re all stored in smart phones that are with them almost all the time.
In fact, most people are suffering from a sort of digital amnesia (遗忘症). More than 90% of those agreed that they used the Internet as an online extension of their brains. Rote learning (死记硬背的学习)was once an important part of education, but we just need a click or slide now. That’s making us worse at remembering things.
However, I believe that there are more risks to this new world of memory beyond losing our ability to recall some information such as who the 15th President was. That kind of information may always be a click away, but the important things are personal ones, like the way your parents smile at your wedding. It’s hard to recall or find online. If you’re relying on yourself to keep track of those memories, they will be much more meaningful.
1. Paragraph 1 is mainly used to____________.
A. serve as the background of memory
B. introduce the topic
C. explain a new research
D. study people’s memory
2. What’s the main cause of people’s suffering from digital amnesia
A. Dealing with too many things.
B. Seldom thinking about questions.
C. Relying on the Internet too much.
D. The changes of their memory.
3. What’s the author’s attitude towards people’s memories now
A. Worried.
B. Optimistic.
C. Disappointed.
D. Confident.

What Is Social Media
Not many people ask the question “what is social media ” anymore. Social media has been around for years, and most of us would probably describe it as any Internet medium that can be used to share information with others, including blogs, forums, applications, games, websites and other stuff.
But let me ask you this: what exactly is so “social” about sitting before a computer, setting up a blog and blogging for days without anybody reading it, or scrolling through your Facebook full of information from 500 friends you barely know If you ask me, it can be a way more anti-social than anything.
Social media is not a “thing”. It’s not just Facebook, WeChat and Weibo. It’s more of a frame of mind and a state of being. It’s about how you use it to improve your relationships with other people in real life. However, we tend to rely on technology and social media so much that it can actually tear apart those relationships.
Social media isn’t about numbers. When someone says “social media”, web giants like Facebook, Twitter, WeChat and Weibo instantly pop into our minds, often because they have more updates, more friends, more followers, more links, more photos, and more everything. We tend to get distracted by the number game, thinking “volume, volume, volume”. It has led to a lot of meaningless noise and information overload. As the old saying goes, quality over quantity is usually the way to go. So, social media is not just about lots of people aimlessly pushing around lots of information.
Social media needs to have an “IRL” factor—an Internet slang standing for “In Real Life”. It should affect how a person thinks or acts offline. After all, social media shouldn’t be an end in itself. It has been built to enhance your actual social life. Take for example an event that a person attends because he is invited by the host on Facebook through a Facebook event page. Something like that definitely has the IRL factor. Likewise, a WeChat photo that touches someone so much that he feels the need to bring it up and describe it to someone else during a dinner date also has the IRL factor.
So, is it really considered to be social to spend an hour scrolling through photos on Weibo, with no thoughtful or emotional effect and no interaction with others In fact, there is no wall between real life and Internet life where true social media exists. Social media is not a specific place on the Internet or just a thing you use to see what other people are doing. It’s all about creating meaningful experiences and relationships wherever you may be.
4. What does the underlined phrase “tear apart” in Paragraph 3 mean in the text
A. Destroy.
B. Change.
C. Continue.
D. Strengthen.
5. The writer thinks that social media should be_________.
A. a number of websites where people communicate
B. a set of social tools like Facebook, WeChat and Weibo
C. a collection of online applications where ideas are exchanged
D. a group name for online platforms used to strengthen meaningful relationships
6. According to the author, which of the following cases has an IRL factor
A. Updating Facebook on a regular basis.
B. Folio wing new friends on Facebook.
C. Visiting a museum with friends after reading a story on Weibo.
D. Reading Twitter to see what other people are doing and thinking about.
7. What is the author’s purpose of writing this article
A. To explain the importance of social media.
B. To inform the negative effects of social media.
C. To call on readers to use social media to promote real social life.
D. To encourage readers to interact with others in real life more often.
