25、nxious to take a picture of an impressive bunch of flowers that sat not so far away, but first she had to get through a crowd of others pushing their way to do the same. The cause of this was Bouquets to Art, one of the most popular events at the de Young Museum in San Francisco. Flower sellers were
26、 asked to create flower arrangements that respond to pieces of art on display, from ancient carvings to contemporary sculptures. Its extremely attractive and also memorable, to the point that it has become a problem. In recent years, the de Young received more than a thousand complaints from people
27、who felt that cell phones had spoiled their experience of the exhibit. Institutions of fine art around the world face similar problems as the desire to take photographs becomes a huge attraction for museums, as well as something that upsets some of their patrons (资助人). So the de Young responded with
28、 a kind of compromise: carving out “photo free” hours during the exhibitions six-day run. One common complaint about the effect of social media on museum culture is that people seem to be missing out on experiences because they are so busy collecting evidence of them. A study recently published in t
29、he joumal Psychological Science suggests there is some truth to this. It finds that people who keep taking photos of an exhibit and posting them on social media rather than simply observing it, have a hard time remembering what they see. But the issue is complex for the professionals running museums
30、. Linda Butler, the de Youngs head of marketing and visitor experience, acknowledges that not everyone wants a museum to be “a photo-taking playland”. Yet a lot of people do and she believes that the de Young is in no position to judge one reason for buying a 28 ticket to be more valid than another.

33、egative role31. Which of the following may Linda Butler support? A. Reducing admission prices. B. Catering to visitors. C. Reserving judgement in public. D. Banning social media and photography. DIn the days before the Internet, critical thinking was the most important skill of well-educated people.
34、 But in the digital age, according to Anastasia Kozyreva, a social scientist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development, an even more important skill is “critical ignoring”. As the researchers point out, we live in an attention economy where content producers on the Internet compete for our at
35、tention. They attract us with a lot of emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information, so they can expose (暴露) us to money-making advertisements. Therefore, we are no longer customers but products, and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention. To protect o
36、urselves from this, Kozyreva calls for learning the skill of critical ignoring, in which readers control their information environment on purpose to reduce exposure to false and low-quality information. According to Kozyreva, critical ignoring includes three strategies. The first is to design our en
37、vironments, which involves getting rid of the low-quality yet hard-to-resist (抵制) information from around. Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their homes. Similarly, we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing items are kept out of sight. As with dieting, if o
38、ne tries to depend on willpower not to click eye-catching “news”, hell surely fail. So, its better to just keep them out of sight in the beginning. The next is to make a judgement about whether the information is reliable, so that you can be protected from false and misleading information. It can be
39、 realized by checking the source in the top news media which is widely considered as being trustworthy. The last goes by the phrase “do not feed the trolls”. Trolls are actors who spread false and hurtful information online on purpose to cause harm. It may be appealing to respond to them to set the
40、facts straight, but trolls just care about annoying others rather than facts. So, its best not to reward their bad behaviour with our attention. By improving our critical ignoring skills in these ways, we can make the most of the Internet while avoiding being hurt by those who try to control our att
41、ention, time, and minds. 32. What is “critical ignoring”? A. The process of spotting and analyzing poor quality data. B. The skill of not paying attention to online information. C.

46、ngaging and delightful to be with. 37 It is a great ice-breaker or stress reliever, but dont ruin a serious conversation with inappropriate jokes. Speak sincerely. Tell people the truth. If you cant commit to something, its better to be honest about it than to have to tell them last minute that you
47、cant make it. When people ask for your opinion, you should be honest. 38 For instance, if you dont like your friends shirt, respond with, “I really like you in blue instead, “rather than, “I hate it, its ugly.” 39 If you see value in making others laugh and keep yourself positive, youll be a happier
48、 person, making others drawn to you as a result. A great way to remind you to laugh more is to have daily jokes on your phone or email. Set them for a time of day when you notice yourself start to feel drained. Have confidence in your body. You dont have to have the “perfect body” to be confident in it.
