Digital memories might not last forever
“数字记忆” 可能不会永存
数码产品在不断地更新换代。虽然数字化为日常生活提供了便利,但随着数码产品逐渐老化、数字文件格式相继被淘汰,人们可能再也无法访问曾储存在电子设备上的 “数字记忆”,从而失去了一段段宝贵的人生回忆。本文探讨有哪些方法可以更好地保护自己免受因数字科技更新换代而产生的影响。
Having thousands of photos, songs and films available at our fingertips would have seemed amazing just a few decades ago, but how long will these files last for and be available? Could the digitalisation of cultural artefacts now be putting a time limit on our memories?
The materials that phones and computers are made of can decay over time, impacting the data that they store. Images can still be seen in faded photographs, but when digital data degrades, it can quickly make it impossible to even open a file. Also, as formats and devices become obsolete, it may become impossible to read files from previous decades.
Storing information in the cloud can also present problems. Large companies can still lose data. In 2019, social media platform MySpace admitted losing more than 12 years’ worth of users’ music uploads. The widespread use of streaming services for music, TV and film means that people no longer own the content that they watch and listen to, they just pay for the right to access it. If streaming companies decide to remove content, or go out of business, users will lose access.
Licencing rather than buying content is an example of how our behaviour towards digital content has changed. Another example is that we take far more pictures than people did in the past. This means that, added to the challenge of keeping our data safe, people have to consider what to preserve and what can be discarded.
So, what can we do? Technology writer Jack Schofield said that “data doesn’t really exist unless you have at least two copies of it”, so it’s important that we keep backup copies of what is important to us – probably more than one. Academic Paul Royster suggests that we should all take time to consider what content we personally believe is worth saving. Perhaps the answer is just to avoid digital altogether. Science and Technology writer Chris Baranaiuk calls for a cultural movement towards buying analogue copies of cultural content.

【文本翻译】就在几十年前,如果有成千上万的照片、歌曲和电影触手可及,那似乎会令人惊叹不已,但这些文件能保存多久并可供使用呢?如今文化制品的数字化会不会给我们的记忆加上时间限制?
手机和电脑的制造材料会随着时间的推移而老化,影响它们所存储的数据。褪色的照片中图像仍然可见,但当数字数据退化时,可能很快就会导致甚至无法打开一个文件。此外,随着格式和设备的过时,可能无法读取几十年前的文件。
将信息存储在云端也可能会出现问题。大公司仍可能丢失数据。2019 年,社交媒体平台 MySpace 承认丢失了用户超过 12 年的音乐上传内容。音乐、电视和电影流媒体服务的广泛使用意味着人们不再拥有他们观看和收听的内容,他们只是为访问权付费。如果流媒体公司决定删除内容或倒闭,用户将失去访问权限。
授权而非购买内容是我们对待数字内容的行为发生变化的一个例子。另一个例子是我们拍摄的照片比过去的人多得多。这意味着,除了要应对保护数据安全的挑战外,人们还必须考虑要保留什么以及可以丢弃什么。
那么,我们能做些什么呢?科技作家杰克·斯科菲尔德说:“除非你至少有两份数据副本,否则数据实际上并不存在”,所以对我们来说重要的是要保留重要内容的备份副本——可能不止一份。学者保罗·罗伊斯特建议,我们都应该花时间考虑我们个人认为值得保存的内容。也许答案就是完全避免数字化。科技作家克里斯·巴拉奈克呼吁开展一场文化运动,购买文化内容的模拟副本。

Cell phones have become one of the most useful devices in the past half century. The first cell phone had only one use—calling someone. Today’s smart-phones are really minicomputers that allow users to do many things at once. People can send t 1 and emails, listen to music, take pictures and videos, and find information online.
Cell phones are perfect for learning in school. For example, students can find information on the Internet, s 2 math problems and share notes. They can use calendars and alarms for reminders about homework, projects, and tests. They can even share ideas on social media.
Some schools don’t allow cell phones b 3 they think the phones can distract students from their work. Some teachers worry that students won’t pay attention and will need to be reminded to put down their phones. They also worry that students will spend lunches and recess playing games or using social media. Kids could miss out on quality time spent with friends.
Teachers and parents also worry about students using phones to cheat on tests or bully others. Cheating is unfair and does not help students learn. Bullying h 4 classmates. Studies show that younger students are more likely to be bulled if they have cell phones.
However, researchers have found that most parents and teachers want students to have phones. It is important for parents and children to be able to keep in touch. Teachers like using phones during lessons because students are more interested and pay c 5 attention.
Many teachers feel that the benefits outweigh the problems if students learn to use the cell phones c 6 . Teachers and parents can teach kids to use cell phones in a safe way that helps them learn new things. In class, phones should be s 7 and used only for lessons. Students should also track time spent on their phones and avoid using them too much. Students should be allowed to use cell phones in school. Setting good ground rules can improve learning for everyone.

Many teens aren’t getting enough sleep. According to a U. S. survey, more than one in five teens have difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep. Here, some 8 experts (专家) are offering tips to help teens get a better night’s sleep.
Sonal Malhotra
Small changes can often make a big difference. Try changing one bad sleep habit at a time. For example, 9 having a big meal close to bedtime or make sure your room is dark and comfortable. It’s not possible to change everything all at once. If you can change one habit even several nights a week, that’s great.
Lisa Damour
We have plenty of research showing how damaging technology is to sleep. No one—children or adults—should have a phone in their bedroom at night.
If that’s too hard for you, you can start with some easier ways to 10 the damage of nighttime screen time. Passive use, like watching a show, is better than active use, like gaming.
Judith Owens
Many of you like to get up late 11 . This can affect your weekday sleep. On Sunday night, you haven’t been awake long enough to fall asleep at the right time. You’ll then have trouble getting up for school on Monday morning. Then your whole sleep schedule just gets out of 12 .
Dave Anderson
Like adults, some teens may have a lot of 13 on their minds: “Oh, no! I still have so much work to do. If I don’t get enough sleep, I’ll fail my test tomorrow!”
If you are one of these teens, try keeping a diary. Write down what you did today and what you plan to do tomorrow. You can also just write about your worries. It can help you get rid of them.
8.A.computer B.insurance C.health D.gardening

Digital memories might not last forever
“数字记忆” 可能不会永存
数码产品在不断地更新换代。虽然数字化为日常生活提供了便利,但随着数码产品逐渐老化、数字文件格式相继被淘汰,人们可能再也无法访问曾储存在电子设备上的 “数字记忆”,从而失去了一段段宝贵的人生回忆。本文探讨有哪些方法可以更好地保护自己免受因数字科技更新换代而产生的影响。

【文本翻译】就在几十年前,如果有成千上万的照片、歌曲和电影触手可及,那似乎会令人惊叹不已,但这些文件能保存多久并可供使用呢?如今文化制品的数字化会不会给我们的记忆加上时间限制?
手机和电脑的制造材料会随着时间的推移而老化,影响它们所存储的数据。褪色的照片中图像仍然可见,但当数字数据退化时,可能很快就会导致甚至无法打开一个文件。此外,随着格式和设备的过时,可能无法读取几十年前的文件。
将信息存储在云端也可能会出现问题。大公司仍可能丢失数据。2019 年,社交媒体平台 MySpace 承认丢失了用户超过 12 年的音乐上传内容。音乐、电视和电影流媒体服务的广泛使用意味着人们不再拥有他们观看和收听的内容,他们只是为访问权付费。如果流媒体公司决定删除内容或倒闭,用户将失去访问权限。
授权而非购买内容是我们对待数字内容的行为发生变化的一个例子。另一个例子是我们拍摄的照片比过去的人多得多。这意味着,除了要应对保护数据安全的挑战外,人们还必须考虑要保留什么以及可以丢弃什么。
那么,我们能做些什么呢?科技作家杰克·斯科菲尔德说:“除非你至少有两份数据副本,否则数据实际上并不存在”,所以对我们来说重要的是要保留重要内容的备份副本——可能不止一份。学者保罗·罗伊斯特建议,我们都应该花时间考虑我们个人认为值得保存的内容。也许答案就是完全避免数字化。科技作家克里斯·巴拉奈克呼吁开展一场文化运动,购买文化内容的模拟副本。

【答案】C
【详解】句意:拜访朋友时给他们带礼物是中国人的一种习俗。
考查非谓语动词。根据“It’s a custom for the Chinese ... a gift for friends”可知,此处是it is a custom for sb to do sth“做某事对某人来说是一种习俗”,it为形式主语,动词不定式作真正主语。故选C。
