文章題目The influence of social network to people's loneliness

題材人文社科

文章大意社交媒體對人孤獨的影響.越來越多的人開始使用社交媒體，有些人認為社
交媒體使人變得更加孤獨，有些人卻不同意。在大學生中做了一個調查，結 果表明孤獨感與人們花時間在社交媒體上無關。社交媒體會使人變得焦慮， 也會讓人上癮。
參考閱讀：
Ethan Kross, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, suggests that his recent research shows that online social media use, rather than making us as users feel inter-connected, contributes to overall life dis-satisfaction and loneliness.
This side-effect can have drastic results, considering over 1.1 billion users around the world are linked up on Facebook alone.
The study monitored 82 participants’ feelings and well-being, compared to their social media use, over a long period of time. This kind of LONG TERM comparative research was the first of its kind to be conducted.
The main correlation result was: the more time spent on social media, the less happy you will be over time.
A separate study in 2010 conducted by Carnegie Mellon University discovered that when users are DIRECTLY interacting with social media friends, such as posting pictures and status updates, tagging photos, or liking things, their sociability and well-being increased.
However, the dangerous part of our social media use stems from the time we are passively consuming social media content, which represents a majority of user time spent on these platforms. This passive consumption of other peoples idealized vacations, days off, meals, boyfriends, family, etc. led users to feel lonely and unsatisfied with their own lives, despite how eschewed this perception of others lives ACTUALLY is.
Thus, social media has forced us to face a grave paradox: social media claims to be the platform that can connect users with their friends, family, community and the like within seconds, and this is true; however, never before have we experienced more isolation than we are now as a result. Our obsession with our digital social media lives is beginning to take precedence over our physical, here-and-now lives, resulting in our inability to interact with real people, and enjoy life’s current moments without being distracted by how this will be portrayed on social media.
雅思閱讀文章出處梳理
分析發現，雅思閱讀考試A類文章大多選自國外人文類、經濟類和科學類的知名報紙、雜志或政府各部門(UK及世界各國) 的社會發展報告。如：經濟學家雜志Economist，金融時報(Financial Times), 衛報(Guardian) ,美國國家地理雜志(National Geographic), New Scientist, Science, Popular Science 和 Nature等。
G類文章從09年5月份開始，考察的內容導向有所變化，從原來的以“培訓”為導向逐步轉變為以“工作”為導向。這一背景材料的轉變值得引起考生的關注。以下是摘錄自雅思考試官方網站的相關內容：
‘From 1 May 2009, we are making a small but important change to the General Training Reading paper.
Currently, Section 2 of the General Training Reading paper focuses on the training context. From 1 May 2009, this section will focus on the work context (e.g. applying for jobs, company policies, pay and conditions, workplace facilities, staff development etc).
The General Training module is increasingly recognised by employers, professional bodies and immigration authorities. This change will ensure that the module will more closely meet the needs of candidates who take IELTS for employment or immigration purposes.
The other sections of the General Training Reading paper will remain unchanged.’
在了解了以上閱讀考試的題源出處之后，考生平時進行泛讀的時候，可以多選擇上面提到的報刊雜志的內容作為材料。這樣可以在幫助考生擴大相關背景知識的同時，使得考生能夠了解雅思閱讀文章的行文風格和常見結構。
G類的考生在平常準備考試的過程中一定要重視這個自09年5月1日起開始的 ‘small but important’的變化。重點補充一些工作類型的文章，例如申請工作、公司政策、工作環境等等。并且有條件的話，多做一些關于商務英語和職場英語方面的訓練。
當然，這里老師要向考生說明的是，如一些考試文章在上述網站上搜索起來有困難，考生可以在維京百科上搜索相關的詞條內容。拿澳洲考拉舉個例子，這是我們雅思考試中考過的有關澳洲的較有特色的動物。很多考生對于這個名字不陌生，但是具體細節談論起來，相關的知識就比較匱乏了。那么現在只要在搜索框內輸入‘Koala’則會出現很多相關的內容，以下僅為部分摘錄，
The koala is found in coastal regions of eastern and southern Australia, from near Adelaide to the southern part of Cape York Peninsula. Populations also extend for considerable distances inland in regions with enough moisture to support suitable woodlands. The koala is not found in Tasmania or Western Australia.
通過此段，考生可以大致了解考拉的分布主要在澳洲東部及南部沿海地區，從阿德萊德到約克角半島南部。而在塔斯馬尼亞及西澳地區則沒有發現考拉。
A baby koala is referred to as a joey and is hairless, blind, and earless. At birth the joey, only a quarter of an inch long, crawls into the downward-facing pouch on the mother's belly (which is closed by a drawstring-like muscle that the mother can tighten at will) and attaches itself to one of the two teats.
這一段主要介紹考拉寶寶的主要情況，出生時候只有四分之一英寸長，生活在媽媽的育兒袋里。
The koala lives almost entirely on eucalypt leaves. This is likely to be an evolutionary adaptation that takes advantage of an otherwise unfilled ecological niche, since eucalypt leaves are low in protein, high in indigestible substances, and contain phenolic and terpene compounds that are toxic to most species. Like wombats and sloths, the koala has a very low metabolic rate for a mammal and rests motionless for about 16 to 18 hours a day, sleeping most of that time.
本段講到考拉的飲食幾乎完全依賴桉樹葉生存，并且考拉的新陳代謝非常慢，一天可以16-18個小時不動。
建議考生在搜索的時候選用英文，在平時學習背景知識的時候，不斷擴大對于相關這一主題的詞匯量。這樣在考試當中遇見相關背景的文章的時候不至于出現因生詞過多造成理解誤差的情況，同時也可以在考試當中節省閱讀時間，保證閱讀速度。
