actually，much of the information is unimportant，disposable and it distracts(分心) us from more meaningful pursuits. worse still，when we spend lots of time consuming information from our social media streams，we may find it hard to concentrate on what were doing and we have a tendency to forget what we have consumed anyway.a new study from swedens kth royal institute of technology has found that too much social media exposure actually reduces your ability to process information and depletes your short term working memory.our working memory plays a critical role in our capacity to filter information and remember what is valuable but it is not a limitless resource. erik fransn，a professor in computer science at kth and the leader of this new study on social media overload says this can explain why our capacity for processing information begin to fail when we attempt to stuff more information in the working memory.in fact，when you try to process the information like speech or video，you are going to need partly the same system of working memory，so you are reducing your own working memory capacity. and when you try to store many things in your working memory，you get less good at processing information.it is the periods of downtime of your brainpreferably disconnected from the distractions of your computer or smartphone that are needed for memory consolidation and transferring important information to your exposure to new information. besides，you can empty your mind of thoughts quickly to relax completely，go for a short walk or spend a few minutes listening to music. this will help you improve your capacity to process information and increase your productivity.語篇解讀本文講述了社交媒體會(huì)給我們提供很多的信息，但這些信息大部分無用且會(huì)分散我們的注意力。而且我們的工作記憶也不是無限的，需要我們整合信息，清空思緒，以便更好地提高處理信息的能力和提高生產(chǎn)力。8what can we learn about social media overload from paragraph 1?ait

impairments(損傷) in memory，attention and learning about three years earlier than people with normal hearing，a study published in jama internal medicine reveals.“the finding supports the idea that hearing loss can have serious consequences for the brain，”says patricia tun of brandeis university，who studies aging.“im hoping it will be a real wakeup call in terms of realizing the importance of hearing.”“compared with other senses，hearing is often overlooked，”tun says.“we are made to interact with language and to listen to each other，and it can have damage in effects if we dont.”frank lin of johns hopkins school of medicine and colleagues tested the hearing of 1,984 older adults. most of the participants，who averaged 77 years old，showed some hearing loss 1,162 volunteers had trouble hearing noises of less than 25 decibels(分貝)，comparable to a whisper or rustling leaves. the volunteers results reflect the hearing loss in the general population：over half of people older than 70 have trouble hearing.over the next six years，these participants went through mental evaluations that measured factors such as short term memory，attention and the ability to quickly match numbers to symbols. everybody got worse at the tasks as time went on，but people with hearing loss had an especially sharp decline. on average，a sudden drop in performance would come about three years earlier to people with hearing loss.lin cautions that the study has found an association between hearing loss and mental abilities. those who cant hear well might avoid social situations and isolation(孤立) is known to be bad for the brain. “you gradually become more socially disconnected，” lin says. “social isolation is a major factor for dementia(癡呆) and cognitive decline.”lin and his team hope to study
