Summary Writing
An Extension of the Human Brain
Other people can help us compensate for our mental and emotional deficiencies (欠缺),much as a wooden leg can compensate for a physical deficiency . To be exact , other people can extend our intelligence and help us understand and adjust our emotions. When another person helps us in such ways , he or she is participating in what I’ve called a “ social prosthetic (义肢的) system.” Such systems do not need to operate face-to face , and it’s clear to me that the Internet is expanding the range of my own social prosthetic system . It’s already a big bank of many minds . Even in its current state , the Internet has extended my memory and judgment .
Regarding memory : Once I look up something on the Internet , I don’t need to keep all the details for future use ------I know where to find that information again and can quickly and easily do particularly striking when I’m writing ; I ‘m no longer comfortable writing if I ‘m not connected to the Internet. It’s become natural to check facts as I write, taking a minute or two to dip into PubMed, Wikipedia , or other websites.
Regarding judgment: The Internet has made me smarter in matters small and large . For example , when I ‘m writing a textbook , it has become second nature to check a dozen definitions of a key term , which helps me dig into the core and understand its meaning . But more than that , I now regularly compare my views with those of many others . If I have a “ new idea”, I now quickly look to see whether somebody else has already thought of it , or something similar-and I then compare what I think with what others have thought . This certainly makes my own views clearer . Moreover , I can find out whether my reactions to an event are reasonable enough by reading about those of others on the Internet .
Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.
The way individuals collectively remember , forget , and recall event , people , places , etc,has been an important topic of research on collective memory .1.He developed the concept of collective memory , arguing that individual memories are only understood within the context of a group through time and space .
2.They include theoretical concepts , the study of historical sources , oral histories , case studies , interviews, and surveys . For example , one group of researchers carried out several interviews to investigate younger and older American adults for three wars , namely , the Civil War , World War II., and the Iraq War . Although Americans of different ages recalled similar events , the interpretation of some events changed over the generations : both younger and older adults recalled the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , however , they differed in how they rated the bombings .
More recently , memory study scholars tend to stress the significance of the media in shaping collective memories : “ Culture and individuals memory are constantly produced through the technologies of memory .” Under this perspective, research often involves content analysis of news and the use of surveys or interviews for analyzing the public memory . Alternatively , scholars have studied the role of journalists as collective memory agents by manually analyzing the stories journalists tell as professionals and the stories they
tell about their profession. 3.
However, developments in digital technologies in recent years have significantly influenced how we keep track of events both as individuals and as a collective . “The Internet doesn’t forget .” The Internet has had strong impacts on memory and the processes of remembering and forgetting. 4.. Analyzing different Web documents, researchers have shown that more recent past events are remembered more vividly in the present.
A.There are a few relatively simple things a person can do to help improve their memory
