4 . 阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

Every day, people spend hours and hours on their phones and computers. And it seems impossible for most people to cut out screen time completely. So how can we keep a healthy relationship with digital devices (数字设备) in this fast-moving world?

Anna Marsh, a professor of psychology at University of Toronto, tried not to use the digital devices. After she stopped using them, she felt she had more time to think. So she gives some advice on how to keep a healthy digital diet while using technology (技术).

First, we should care for our brains just as we care for our bodies, by controlling (控制) the digital intake. In fact, reducing our use of the devices is like eating less junk food. What we need to do is think about whether our heavily used apps and websites benefit our life or not. Then we can remove (删除) apps like games. After that, add some healthy apps to our phones, such as self-care and learning apps.

Another important thing is to think about why we use them. Too often we reach for our mobile phones and then get lost in the world of the Internet. We forget what we planned to do. So next time we pick up our phones, rethink about what we are going to do: to check the e-mail or to look up a word.

Also, if we focus only on our devices, we will miss out on our lives. That’s why we should be careful about the time we spend on the digital devices. For example, we can keep the phones on or near our body all the time, but we’d better only check them once or twice a day. And it’s better to put our phones away at dinner or when having family activities. Getting out into nature or doing some exercise is also a good way to stop us from looking at our phones.

1. How did Marsh feel after she stopped using digital devices?

2. What healthy apps can we add to our phones?

3. Why should we be careful about the time we spend on the digital devices?

7 . People are writing less paper cards and letters in the UK now. More and more people like to use e-mails. What do you think—should we stop writing cards and letters?

We live in a digital (数字化的) world and using snail mail is not necessary (必要的). Some people think we need to use paper when we write letters or make cards, and we have to cut down trees to make paper, which is bad for the earth. What’s more, electronic (电子的) mails are usually free.

However, ★ It’s easy and quick to send an email or electronic message, but some people think they are too casual (随意的). When you write a letter to your family or friends, when you buy or make a card by yourself, it shows that you care these people and are willing to put your time and heart in doing these things. Writing letters and making cards are also good for children. When they write letters, they learn to show their feelings with words, which is helpful for their writing. When children make cards for somebody, they always try their best to make the cards beautiful and different. That’s a lot of fun for them.

8 . Someone writes a letter, puts the letter into an envelope (信封) and posts it through a mailbox. Maybe we often see such a scene (场景) like this in movies. However, we seldom see it in our everyday life now.

Now we hardly use mailboxes to post letters. We usually write and send e-mails instead of letters. Sending e-mails is much faster than sending letters. Therefore, mailboxes are old and out of date.

Now some old mailboxes have a new use. In some cities in Argentina, people use old mailboxes as trash cans (垃圾箱). They throw trash into the old mailboxes. Some people think it’s a good idea, but some people have a different idea. They don’t want to throw trash into the old mailboxes. They want more children to remember the old mailboxes. They try to repair those old mailboxes. They think people should protect the old mailboxes.

10 . When we talk on WeChat or QQ, sending words can be a little boring. Many people like to use memes (表情包) to make the conversation more fun. But sometimes memes can cause trouble.

Recently, 10 students lost their chance to study at Harvard University. That’s because they use bad memes in a private Facebook group chat. The memes were about killing people and jokes about the deaths of children, the BBC reported.

At first, this kind of group chat was for the students to get to know each other before going to the university. But later, some students began to set up another group chat and used many bad memes in it.

When Harvard University found out about the chat, it took back the offers from the students.

Many people agreed with the decision (决定). They believe that the students’ actions show their real characters. Students shouldn’t treat death as a joke.
