[课时作业] [限时30分钟] Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Have you ever made your life look a little more attractive than it actually is by posting truths on social media? If so，you may be damaging your mental health. The posts we make on social media platforms allow us to look back and see what we did on a given day.But what happens when，in an effort to impress our online friends，photos and videos we post become beautified versions of the things we did? A young girl named Sophia went out to a romantic anniversary dinner with her boyfriend，had a near relationship­ending fight during dessert，then came home and posted，“Had the best time out with the love of my life！”—even with a photo of the meal.No surprise，but according to a new study，Sophia was by no means unique.Two thirds of users admit lying about their lives on social media with 20 percent of young people between the ages of 18 and 24 stating that they edit their own stories by frequently lying about relationships and promotions. By beautifying our online stories，we are harming our memories.We start believing the stories we tell rather than remembering what really happened.Soon，the real experience is lost and all that remains is the beautified version of history. Scientists fear that these edited stories will end up changing our memories.It's well confirmed through research that our own memories are often unreliable and can be easily controlled.Writing down one's life in the form of a journal，or even on social media can help us keep our memories undamaged，but only if we tell the truth.So recording our experiences through whatever medium，to later recall lessons we learned，is not only acceptable but desirable.In fact，looking back at our own past—however embarrassing or uncomfortable—is not just healthy but can be enjoyable.
