Article: Recently the barbican museum in London held an exhibition called the rain room. During the time this exhibition was open, my twitter stream was filled with photos of people standing in the rain room, accompanied by the caption "rain room@ the barbican!" and a location attachment to prove that they were indeed in the rain room. This got me thinking. What were people actually saying by Tweeting about their visit? I think all they were doing was fulfilling the obligation that we have to share. Not sharing in the sense of treasuring a moment with people close to us, but sharing in the sense of "tell the world that I am doing a thing". It's not sharing; it's showing off. When we log in to Facebook or Twitter we see an infinitely updating stream of people enjoying themselves. It's not real life, because people only post about the good things whereas all the dull or deep stuff doesn't get mentioned. But despite this obvious fact, it subconsciously makes us feel like everyone is having a better time than us. This is the curse of our age. We walk around with the tools to capture extensive data about our surroundings and transmit them in real-time to every friend we've made. We end up with a reduced understanding of reality because we're more concerned about choosing a good Instagram filter for our meal than how it tastes. I don't think that it's inherently wrong to want to keep the world updated about that you're doing. But when you go through life robotically posting about everything you do, you're not a human being. You're just a prism that takes bits of light and sound and channels them into the cloud. The key thing to remember is that you are not enriching your experiences by sharing them online; you are detracting from them because all your efforts are focused on making the look attractive to other people. Once you stop seeing things through the eyes of the people following you on Twitter or Facebook or Instagram, you can make your experiences significant, because you were there and you saw the sights and... Question: It seems to the author that _ . Yes or no, is the answer "people seldom show depressing stuff on the social networking websites"?

Ques: Article: If you do not use your arms or your legs some time, they become weak; when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this and nobody would think of questioning this fact. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it frequently either consciously or unconsciously. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he doesn't give it enough chances to become strong. If a friend complains that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think his parents are to blame and that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is just as much as his own fault as if it is his arms or legs that were weak. Question: It is true that the more you use your arms or legs, _ . Yes or no, is the answer "the stronger they become"?
Ans:
No
