The Danger of Sharenting

For the vast majority of people, checking social media involves a mix of expectation and curiosity. The app feeds on a collective 【1】 that we are missing out on something, whether it’s a fabulous party, a pop-up sale, or the mere concept of vacation. But the same dynamic doesn’t quite 【2】 to parents sharing pictures of their young children online. There certainly may be an element of proud boasting: “Admire my little son’s taste in jazz,” etc. But these carefully chosen photos often do little more than help parents escape from a harsh day 【3】. The isolation of parenthood delivers one to strange places, and you need your tribe. Sharing images on social media makes the experience 【4】, connecting one to a larger world.

In his new book Why We Should Think Before We Talk About Our Kids Online, Leah Plunkett, a Harvard psychology professor, argues that “sharenting” happens when an adult transmits private details about a child via digital channels. It 【5】 a child’s entry into “digital life.” Studies estimate that by 2030 nearly two-thirds of identity-fraud cases affecting today’s children will have been caused by sharenting.

For Plunkett, there are a couple of reasons to be concerned about sharenting. On a philosophical level, sharenting exposes children to the larger digital world without their permission, 【6】 them of a kind of privacy. This feeds into Plunkett’s second, much broader concern. The 【7】 problem with sharenting is the same with many adult-world privacy issues: the bargain we have made in exchange for these services is that we surrender our data and choose not to imagine the worst-case scenarios. Could things that parents post about children produce real-world 【8】, in terms of bullying, professional reputation, or future prospects? Today, long before children take their first step, their digital data already travels to “thousands, likely tens of thousands, of human and machine users.” How long will it be until someone 【9】 the power to predict who a child will become as an adult based on these data points?

Plunkett’s concerns made parents reconsider their choices. In the end, Plunkett’s advice is to “make more mindful choices” about digital lives though parenthood is often so 【10】 vague that mindfulness seems impossible.

本文是一篇說明文，介紹了父母在社交媒體上“曬娃”是危險的。

【1】考查名詞。句意：這款應(yīng)用程序助長了一種集體的恐懼，即：我們正在錯過某些東西，無論是一個精彩的派對，一個彈出式銷售，或僅僅是度假的概念。作動詞短語feeds on的賓語用名詞，根據(jù)空后的同位語從句可知此處表示“恐懼”，故填F。

【6】考查非謂語動詞。句意：在哲學(xué)層面上，“曬娃”讓孩子們在未經(jīng)允許的情況下接觸到更大的數(shù)字世界，剝奪了他們的某種隱私。空前沒有連詞，此處使用非謂語動詞，用現(xiàn)在分詞做結(jié)果狀語，表示一種自然而然的結(jié)果，rob sb of sth表示“剝奪某人的某物”，故填B。

【7】考查形容詞。句意：分享的根本問題和許多成人世界的隱私問題是一樣的。修飾名詞problem用形容詞，根據(jù)句意可知此處表示“根本的”，故填G。

【8】考查名詞。句意：父母發(fā)布的關(guān)于孩子的帖子會產(chǎn)生現(xiàn)實世界的結(jié)果，比如欺凌、職業(yè)聲譽(yù)或未來前景?做動詞produce的賓語用名詞，根據(jù)句意可知此處表示“結(jié)果”，故填K。

【9】考查動詞。句意：要過多久，才會有人聲稱有能力根據(jù)這些數(shù)據(jù)點(diǎn)來預(yù)測一個孩子長大后會成為什么樣的人？此處缺少動詞做謂語，根據(jù)句意可知此處表示“聲稱”，故填I。

【10】考查副詞。句意：最后，普倫基特的建議是，在數(shù)字生活中做出更謹(jǐn)慎的選擇，盡管為人父母常常是如此令人困惑地模糊，以至于專注似乎不可能。修飾形容詞vague用副詞，根據(jù)句意可知此處表示“令人困惑地”，故填A。
