In my early teens.I was once given a film camera as a gift.On receiving it.I
jumped on my bike,headed to Wimbledon Common and took photos,just for
me:photos of trees and wildlife,I was out all day.On my way home I spotted a tree lit
up by street lighting and tried to capture its beauty.Rushing home,I put the spent film
in a special little envelope and sent it off to a photography store,desperate to see how
it would come out.I took many photos then and loved the fact that when you
processed your film you got back colour photos which froze the precious
moments,gently encouraging the hobby and the payments for processing.
As I grew into adulthood,that simple,deep happiness gradually faded away.One
weekend when I was busy answering the work calls,my eyes caught a box in the
comer of the room.I suddenly felt a sense of sadness.The stress growing over these
years had pushed the camera from beside my pillow to the box in the corner.I thought
I needed a change.
I took out the camera and dusted it down.It was a great joy that it still worked.I
bought new film and took the camera everywhere I went.Now it is always on hand to
accompany me on journeys,to allow me time to myself.Even if the day is full and
busy.I can seize some moments for myself to take photos,to observe the world around
me.
The wall of my room now holds all my camera equipment on display,along with
photos I've taken.To me,the room represents how I've found happiness:by
reconnecting to the younger part of myself I laid aside,by allowing room in my life for
pleasure to exist,and by creating an environment that allows opportunities for delight.

In the days before the Internet,critical thinking was the most important skill of
informed citizens.But in the digital age,according to Anastasia Kozyreva.a
psychologist at the Max Planck Institute of Human Development,and her
colleagues,an even more important skill is critical ignoring.
As the researchers point out,we live in an attention ecokothyhy where content
producers on the Internet compete for our attention.They attract us with a lot of
emotional and eye-catching stories while providing little useful information,so they
can expose us to profit-generating advertisements.Therefore,we are no longer
customers but products,and each link we click is a sale of our time and attention.To
protect ourselves from this.Kozyreva advocates learning the skill of critical
ignoring,in which readers intentionally control their information environment to
reduce exposure to false and low-quality information.
According to Kozyreva,critical ignoring comprises three strategies.The first is to
design our environments,which involves the removal of low-quality yet hard-to-resist
information from around.Successful dieters need to keep unhealthy food out of their
homes.Likewise,we need to set up a digital environment where attention-grabbing
items are kept out of sight.As with dieting,if one tries to rely on willpower not to click
eye-catching"news",he'll surely fail,So,it's better to just keep them out of sight to
begin with,The next is to evaluate the reliability of information,whose purpose is to
protect you from false and misleading information.It can be realized by checking the
source in the mainstream news agencies which have their reputations for being
trustworthy.
The last goes by the phrase“Don't feed the trolls.”Trolls are actors who
intentionally spread false and hurtful information online to cause harm,It may be
appealing to respond to them to set the facts straight,but trolls just care about
annoying others rather than facts.So,it's best not to reward their bad behaviour with
our attention.
By sharpening our critical ignoring skills in these ways,we can make the most of
the Internet while avoiding falling victim to those who try to control our
attention,time,and minds.
28.What can we learn about the attention economy from paragraph 2?
A.It offers little information.
C.It saves time for Internet users.
B.It features depressing stories
D.It seeks profits from each click.
29.Why does the author mention dieters in paragraph 3?C,
A.To discuss the quality of information.
B.To prove the benefits of healthy food.
C.To show the importance of environments.
D.To explain the effectiveness of willpower.
30.What should we do to handle Internet trolls according to the text?
A.Reveal their intention.
C.Correct their behaviour.
B.Turn a deaf ear to them.
D.Send hard facts to them.
31.What is the text mainly about?5
A.Reasons for critical thinking in the attention economy.
