北京市东城区2024届高三下学期综合练习(一)(一模)英语试题
Today, what we have, is an always-in-your-pocket, 24/7 news cycle. When you open a news app, you'll notice a brief moment when the "old news" is still there. In a flash, the ancient history of a few hours ago is swept away for the next "breaking news". It's endless, but you had better keep up.
Researchers introduce this world to the phrase, "noise bottleneck". A noise bottleneck is where we are overwhelmed with so much information or noise that our cognitive (认知的) abilities can't keep up. Thus, while our attention can watch hours. of videos, our long-term learning processes can't.
We watch TV holding our phones, and we listen to music while shopping. However, the human brain might have structural limitation rooted in the cognitive architecture which causes the slowing down that occurs when two tasks are performed at the same time.
In short, your brain is not as good as you think it is. You are a human being who can only take in so much a day. Understanding the noise bottleneck allows us to fix it. So, here are three tips to get you going:
Clear your content-set up a new account on social media and follow only accounts or people that you think are really valuable.
Single-task-you don't need to rid the phone but do rid the distractions. Say, "I will only read this magazine after dinner. Multitasking is for show; single-tasking is for pros.
Accept your limits-you'll never read all the news. Accept you can only choose two or three and embrace that fact. You're getting more out of those few than that "super-productive" person on social media who says they read five books a week. After all, it's better to have a little remembered than a lot forgotten.
A. Give yourself a time limit or restriction if it helps.
B. Don't beat yourself up that you're being unproductive.
C. Every second, you are presented with new information.
D. Breaking through the noise bottleneck is a legendary idea.
E. The matter is made worse by our modern addiction to multitasking.
F. Multitasking has dramatically changed the way we use information.
G. Our brains have limited resources, spread across numerous functions.
