32、e.Henkel was surprised by how obsessed (痴迷的) people are with taking pictures these days - before dinner, during friends birthday parties, on museum tours and so on.They keep taking pictures because they think that it helps record the moment, but as Henkels latest study has just found out, this obses

33、sion 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 students memory of the tour was tested, and the results

34、showed that they were less accurate in recognizing the objects and they remembered fewer details about them if they photographed them.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 negati

36、asically, this study is saying that constantly taking pictures can harm your memory. But shouldnt 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 jus

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 arent usually very organized on their computers.1、Why did the author mention Henkels trip to th

In some cases, this social influence might involve agreeing with or acting like the majority of people in a specific group, or involve behaving in a

42、particular way to be viewed as “normal” by the group. Actually, conformity is something that happens regularly in our social world. Sometimes were aware of our behaviour, but in many cases it happens without much thought or awareness on our parts. And even in some cases we go along with things we di

43、sagree with or behave in ways we know we shouldnt.There are countless examples of conformity in life. For instance, a teenager dresses in a certain style because he wants to fit in with the rest of the teenagers in his social group. A woman reads a book for her book club and really enjoys it. When s

44、he attends her book club meeting, the other members all dislike the book. Rather than go against the group opinion, she simply agrees with the others that the book is terrible.Why do we conform? In many cases, looking to the rest of the group for clues for how we should behave can actually be helpfu

45、l. Others might have greater knowledge or experience than we do, so following their lead can actually be instructive. And in some cases, we conform to the expectations of the group to avoid looking foolish. This tendency can become especially strong in situations where we arent quite sure how to act

46、. Additionally, there are some situations where we conform just in order to avoid punishments or gain rewards.There are many factors that influence conformity. For example, not knowing how to perform a difficult task makes people more likely to conform. Personal characteristics such as motivation to

47、 achieve and strong leadership abilities are linked with a decreased tendency to conform. And people are more likely to conform in situations that involve between three and five other people.1、What can we learn about conformity from the first paragraph?AActually it is rare for us to conform.BBlind c
