2 . Many of us look at our smartphones hundreds of times a day. We depend on them to finish a lot of tasks and to connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted (上瘾的) to our phones?

Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people should stop scrolling (滚动) and “get a real life”. But of course, once we start watching videos in our smartphones, we just can’t kick the habit. Many of us compulsively (强迫性地) check our phones if we’re waiting for a text or getting really into social media. And then we look up and realize that an hour has passed. There’s even a word — a phubber — to describe a person who ignores the real people around them because they are concentrating on their phones.

But does it matter if we make full use of this technology? Possibly, because like a drug, the problem appears when it is taken away. A study from King’s College London found young people couldn’t control the amount of time they spend on their phones. Such addictive behaviour means that people become unhappy or upset if they are not allowed to use their smartphones, which can cause anxiety and mental health issues.

Interestingly, another study by the scientists of the London School of Economics and Political Science suggests we don’t just look at our phones because of a text or an e-mail. The people they studied felt they can’t help using their phones, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. Professor Saadi Lahlou, one of the writers of the study, told the BBC: “We must learn tricks to avoid the temptation when we want to concentrate or have good social relations.”

3 . A letter written to a 12-year-old girl in Lithuania (立陶宛) arrived in December, almost 51 years after it was sent. Now in her 60s, Genovefa Klonovska said after being handed the letter, “I thought that someone was pranking me.” A prank is a trick that is done as part of a joke.

The letter included a handmade, colored rose and two paper dolls. It was sent to Klonovska by a young girl in Poland. They exchanged letters in what is known as a pen friend program when people write letters to each other without actually meeting.

The letter, together with 17 others, was discovered this past summer when a wall was taken down in a former post office in Vilnius. Jurgis Vilutis is the owner of the building. “The workers suggested we throw the old letters away, but I called the post office instead,” Vilutis explained. “I’m so happy they got interested.”

The letters, from the late 1960s and early 1970s, were likely hidden by a postal worker after he searched them for money or valuables, Vilutis said. Lithuania was part of the Soviet Union then. The senders were family members or pen friends from places such as Australia, Poland, or Russia. Street names and their numbering have changed in Vilnius.

Post office workers spent months looking for the people who were supposed to receive the letters—the recipients (收件人). Only five recipients were found. In several cases, children of dead recipients were handed a lost letter. Deimante Zebrauskaite, head of the customer experience department at Lithuania Post, said “We felt a moral (道德的) duty to do this.”

A．He threw them away.	B．He hid them in the wall.

2. What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

C．The postal workers.	D．The senders of the letters.

3. What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?

A．Teenagers liked writing to each other in the past.

B．The postal worker hid the letters for money.

C．Only some of the letters reached the recipients.

D．Deimante Zebrauskaite felt sorry for their mistakes.

4. What’s the right order about the letter?
a. Genovefa Klonovska received the letter in December.
b. A young girl sent the letter in Poland.

4 . 请先阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后用方框中所给词的适当形式填空。

or, spend, like, more, friend ,what, mainly, call, get, new, same

A study has found that many among China’s post-90s(in China, that means people born after 1990) are happy to be home alone. And they     1     themselves “indoorsy” people.

To some degree, these people can stay at home alone all day long     2     because of the development of modern technology, especially smart phones. They are perfectly able     3     along with themselves. Nearly 90 percent of them stay on their smart phones all day long. Among them, over 26 percent think the     4     friends they have, the happier they are.

Xu Xingxing is a young woman born after 1990. “When I am on holiday, I would spend one day     5     half the day shopping. Then I stay indoors for the rest of the holiday. At home, I usually     6     some time on the smart phone and the housework,” says Xu.

Xu is among those who prefer to stay at home alone instead of making     7    . But this doesn’t mean that Xu won’t reach out to others.     8    nearly everyone else, she still likes to talk to her friends—but on WeChat. She says most of her friends live far away even though they live in the     9     city. Xu says one of the problems she needs to solve every day is making decisions on     10     to eat.

Being indoorsy is nothing     11    , but the growth（发展）of the Internet has surely helped those who want to stay behind closed doors. Many say these people are lazy, but there’s no doubt that this lifestyle has helped lots of people who work in China’s service industry and made the industry grow fast.

5 . When answering questions through text messages（短信）, people are more likely to tell the truth because they have more time to think. It also includes sensitive（敏感的）information that it is hard for common people to get. This is a great way to get real answers from friends.

Studies have shown that people are more likely to let out（泄露）sensitive information in a text message than in a voice interview. “ This is a bit surprising, since many people believe that texting reduces（减少）the possibilities of letting out sensitive information because it leaves a record that others might see on your phone,” the researcher Fred Conrad told us.

When people text a message, they are more likely to give real answers. We think it is because they are under no time pressure. ▼

For the study, researchers interviewed about 600 people online last month and offered them rewards if they took part in the interview. Their goal was to see if asking the same question in text or voice influenced the answer. They found that people were more likely to provide honest answers through text messages.

1. When answering questions through text messages, what would people do?

A．Give the wrong answers.	B．Avoid the common truth.
C．Give no sensitive information.	D．Tell the truth.

2. How did Fred Conrad feel about the research result?

A．Excited.

B．Surprised.

C．Disappointed.

D．Worried.

3. What does the underlined word “it” refer to in Paragraph 2?

A．The voice interview.

B．The information.

C．The study.

D．Texting.

4. Choose the best sentence to fill in the blank “ ▼ ” in Paragraph 3?

A．So they are able to think longer.	B．They have to think quickly.
C．They don’t like this way at all.	D．They can get little information.
