18.When enjoying children's birthdays or a long-expected family holiday,you may usually want to keep those important moments in mind with a photograph.But if you're one of those people who can't stop snapping photos at an important event,beware---you could end up forgetting it all in a flash.Experts have warned that the addiction to recording every moment of our lives could be having an adverse effect on our memories.
Maryanne Garry,a New Zealand psychology professor,has been studying how the frequent taking of photos might change childhood memories."I think the problem is that people are forgetting to experience the moment,"she says.Parents at the park taking one photo after another of their children,for example,are actually paying less attention to what is happening around them.The picture only captures a small part of the total experience.And because parents remember less about these important events,they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences.As a result.children's own childhood memories are reduced.
The idea that we are experiencing less as we record more got psychologist Linda Henkel's thinking.She wanted to explore how photographs shape our memories.
Henkel who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut,did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university's art museum.The students observed some objects and photographed others.then,back at the laboratory,they were given a memory test.Henkel found what she called a"photo-taking effect".the students remembered fewer of the objects that they had taken photo of,and they remembered fewer details about those objects.She says her students memories were worse because they were relying on the camera to remember the details for them.
"As soon as you hit‘click'on that camera,it's as if you've decreased your memory."she says.

解答 BADB
24.B 考查细节理解.根据"it"前的一句话"But if you're one of those people who can't stop snapping photos at an important event"可知,"it"指的是"an important event".故选B.
25.A 考查细节理解.根据"Henkel who researches human memory at Fairfield University in Connecticut,did an experiment by sending groups of students to the university's art museum"可知,Henkel通过进行实验,来发展理论内容.故选A.
26.D 考查细节理解.根据"And because parents remember less about these important events,they become less effective in their role as the key people who help children learn how to talk about their experiences"可知,因为父母不记得这些重要事件,所以他们帮助孩子讨论孩子们的经历的效果不太好,会导致孩子们的记忆减少.故选D.
27.B 考查细节理解.根据文章内容可知,过多使用照片记录重大事件,会导致孩子的记忆缺失.所以本文是讨论摄影对记忆的影响.故选B.
