Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (癡迷的) people are with taking pictures these days before dinner, during friends39。 birthday parties, on museum tours and so on. They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkel39。s latest study has just found out, this obsession may prevent their brains remembering what actually happened, reported The Guardian. In her study, Henkel led a group of college students around a museum and asked them to simply observe 15 objects and photograph 15 others. The next day the students39。 memory of the tour was tested, and the results showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them. 39。39。When people rely on technology to remember them — counting on the camera to record the event and thus not needing to attend to it fully themselves, it can have a negative impact on how well they remember their experiences,” Henkel explained. But there is also an exception: if students zoomed in to photograph part of an object, their memory actually improved, and those who focused the lens (鏡頭) on a specific area could even recall parts that weren39。t in the frame. So basically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldn39。t reviewing pictures we have taken help wake up our memories? This is true, but only if we spend enough time doing it. “In order to remember, we have to access and interact with the photos, rather than just collect them,” Henkel told The Telegraph. However, previous research has shown that most people never take the time to look over their digital pictures simply because there are too many of them and they aren39。t usually very organized on their puters.(1)Why did the author mention Henkel39。s trip to the Grand Canyon at the beginning? A.To plain about some tourists39。 bad habits.B.To give suggestions on how to enjoy one39。s tour.C.To point out people39。s obsession with taking pictures.D.To describe the beautiful view of the Grand Canyon.(2)What can we learn from Henkel39。s study?
