21．Even if you don’t have to work, eat or sleep, you won’t be able to get through all infermation （6分）on blogs and social networks. The problem we face is that much of this information seems very interesting at first glance. Actually, much of the information is unimportant, disposable and it distracts（分心）us from more meaningful pursuits. Worse still, when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams, we may find it hard to concentrate on what we’re doing and we have a tendency to forget
what we have consumed anyway.
A new study from Sweden’s KTH Royal Institute of Technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes your short-term working memory.
Our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource. Erik Fransén, a professor in Computer Science at KTH and the leader of this new study on social media overload says this can explain why our capacity for processing information begins to fail when we attempt to stuff more information in the working memory.
In fact, when you try to process the information like speech or video, you are going to need partly the same system of working memory, so you are reducing your own working memory capacity. And when you try to store many things in your working in your working memory, you get less good at processing information.
It is the periods of downtime of your brain—preferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphone—that are needed for memory consolidation and transferring important
information to your exposure to new information. Besides, you can empty your mind of thoughts quickly to relax completely, go for a short walk or spend s few minutes listening to music. This will help you improve your capacity to process information and increase your productivity. 1、What can we learn abut social media overload from Paragraph 1? A．It distracts our atention. B．It is beneficial to us.
C．It brings us whatever we want. D．It keeps us informed of everything.
2、Why does your capacity for processing information begin fall sometimes? A．Much of the information is unimportant. B．You don’t make the most of your brain. C．You’re less good at processing information. D．Your working memory is a limited source.
3、What does the underline word “downtime” in the last paragraph probably mean? A．Support. B．Relaxation. C．Increase. D．Loss.
4、Which is recommended to relax your brain?
A．Listening to music for a while. B．Thinking over things carefully. C．Taking enough physical exercise. D．Focusing more on the present.
22．（8分）Jim Sebastian, 50, is a transportation planner and manager of the District’s active transportation branch, which runs Capital Bikeshare and is responsible for trails, bike lanes (车道) and pedestrian planning.
You bike to work every day, right?
Not every day. But most days I bike for at least part of it. So I’ll Metro and then bike from NoMa down to Navy Yard on a Bikeshare bike. Do you stop at all stop signs?
Of course.
When you’re driving a car, have you ever shouted or shaken your fist at a bicyclist?
No, I haven’t shouted at them, but I have taken into account the kind of frustration most drivers might feel behind a cyclist. But my position is that I respect their right to be on the road and try to give them as much space as possible.
Should bicyclists be required to have licenses?
No. I think that would really cut down on the convenience of bicycling. I don’t really think it makes sense and it would be a great burden for the government to try and license all riders. What we prefer is to establish policies and make it safer for everyone.
Would you support a one-day event where people can only walk or bike or take public transportation?
That would be nice, but it might be a bit of a challenge. What we saw on the Metro closure day was that on very short notice a lot of people found other ways to get to work, and that was exciting. We offered a free day membership on Bikeshare, and we had a lot of people try it for the first time. We had 149 people join or renew that day.
1、What can we infer about most drivers driving behind a cyclist? A．They may feel annoyed and upset. B．They stay far away from the cyclist. C．They show great respect to the cyclist. D．They make way for the cyclist politely. 2、What is Jim’s attitude to bicycle licensing? A．Supportive. B．Cautious. C．Negative. D．Doubtful.
