一、阅读理解
We all know that little excitement of creating a popular post on Facebook. Watching the number of "likes" can be both attractive and addictive.
That same buzz(兴奋感) can have its disadvantages, though. We all know the feeling of watching other people's posts get unending positive feedback. We tell ourselves that the only reason why these people are getting attention is that they're popular and good-looking. We sink into self-loathing(自我厌恶) and comparison. Therefore, after experimenting with hiding "likes" on Instagram in select countries, Facebook is considering doing the same on its main platform.
That Facebook is considering this is encouraging. After years of appearing to ignore criticism of its effects on society, the company finally seems to be listening. However, there is a basic conflict between Facebook's business model and its new-found altruism(利他主义). Relying on Facebook to look after its users' mental health is a bit like asking McDonald's to keep its customers' blood pressure under control: At some point, a company's need to make money is not in line with its supposed desire to do good.
The problem with "likes" is that they mark out how successful or happy others are, which in turn can promote a feeling of envy and insecurity. It's a real phenomenon. However, Facebook would certainly want you to post things that get more "likes". The company's success relies upon your posting more and encouraging more "engagement" with other people so that the value of Facebook's targeted ad business increases.
Facebook's reliance on engagement is deep-rooted, and it destroys a supposed desire to prevent the platform from encouraging envy. Without doubt, hiding "likes" can have some benefits, but the way Facebook is built means that this will always be a small step at best.
1.Why does Facebook try hiding "likes" on its main platform
A.To catch more users' eyes. B.To reduce people's envy.
C.To speed the operation of the platform. D.To encourage users to post positive things.
2.What can we infer from the comparison between Facebook and McDonald's
A.Facebook focuses more on the users' interests.
B.Facebook cares less about users' mental health.
C.Facebook makes a lot of money from the users.
D.Facebook does better than McDonald's in service.
3.What does more "engagement" mean to Facebook according to Paragraph 4
A.The growth of value. B.More users' needs.
C.The increases in desire. D.More users' security.
4.What is the author's attitude towards Facebook's hiding "likes"
A.Critical. B.Positive. C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
