1 . Mobile phones have a bad influence on young Chinese students’ sleep and memory, according to a recent study.

The study is based on (以……为依据) a survey of 2, 298 students aged 6 to 18. It found boys are more dependent (依赖的), but girls are more likely (可能的) to use their mobile phones before they sleep than boys. 1.The more students use mobile phones before they sleep, the longer it takes for them to fall asleep. So they will not sleep well, which leads to a poor memory.

In 2021, the Ministry of Education stopped all primary and middle school students from bringing mobile phones to schools. If they want to bring mobile phones to schools, they need to hand them in to their teachers during school time.

Yu Yi, father of a primary school student in Changsha, Hunan Province, “she has a smartwatch if she needs to reach us,” he added.

2.年轻的学生很容易对手机产生依赖, so the intervention (干预) from parents is necessary.

2 . We can’t remember exactly when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially ______ we go out to have dinner. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our ______ and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be “liked”. Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see ______ we get “liked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.

Does that sound ______ to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you ______ when others do that when having dinner with you?

A recent study suggests that what we are ______ to doing is not so good. Spending time taking photos of ______ makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a result, it showed that the more photos they ______, the less delicious the food seemed to them. So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food in front of you?

Besides the scientific result, there are also some other ______ influences of taking photos of food before meals. After ______ the photos onto the Internet, one will not be able to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone like my photos? I hope a lot of people like ______!” It seems that your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are ______ real people.

So, next time you ______ with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is, and ______ your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a ______ time.

Some parents complain that their children’s teachers are giving students homework on phones. It means they have to offer their children phones or can’t refuse their children’s request to use their phones. Some parents say children don’t usually finish their homework in time on phones. Instead, they spend much time on online games, WeChat Moments and TikTok. They even use phones to cheat in the exams. Parents are worried about that. Now things have changed much this term.

“Primary and high school students will not be allowed to bring phones to schools,” announced the Ministry of Education of China on Monday.

According to the notice, primary and high school students are required not to bring their phones into schools. If they do need to bring phones to schools, they have to ask their parents if they can first and come to schools with a written request from their parents.

The notice said that if the students bring their phones to schools, they have to hand their phones to teachers when they arrive. The phones will be kept together by the teachers. And they should not be allowed into classrooms.

There are some main points in the notice. Teachers are not allowed to give students homework on phones, and they are not allowed to ask students to finish their homework on phones, either.

For communication between parents and students, schools should set up public phones and teacher hotlines, it added.

The notice is to protect students’ eyes, make sure they put their hearts into study and prevent them losing themselves in online games.

5 . Mobile phones are very important to our modern life.     1     For example, we needn’t go to the supermarket because we can buy things on mobile phones. There will be no more books because we will be able to get all the text from mobile phones.     2     Even most telephone calls can be made by mobile phone apps, too.

Some people are happy about these new ways of shopping and communicating. Let’s take books for example. Some people think that one day they will not read books made of paper.     3     They will read the text on mobile phones. They will keep many different books in them at the same time. They won’t need to turn lots of pages and paper will be saved. Those books which are called e-books will be used more and more.

    4     Many people don’t think so. They feel happier to go into shops and look at things they want to buy. It is also unlikely that all the people will want to read the text on mobile phones.     5     Maybe mobile phones won’t change these two traditional habits.

6 . Mobile phone has become a problem for middle schools. Some middle schools in Australia have banned (禁止) students from carrying mobile phones during school hours.

Mobile phone use among children has become a problem for the school this year. Several children have got mobile phones as Christmas gifts, and more students will want them.

Marry Bluett, an official, said mobile phone use is a distraction (分心的事) to students during school hours and it also gives teachers so much trouble in their classrooms. Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone messages to deceive during exams.

She said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldn’t get in touch with their children.

Many teachers said students should not have mobile phones at school, but if there was a good reason, they could leave their phones at school office. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies.

Many people say that they understand why parents would want their children to have phones, but they think schools should let the students know when they can use their mobile phones.

8 .

Huawei, a big technology company, has made another big step in the phone industry with its newest phone, the Mate 60. This phone is special because it uses a chip that Huawei made all by itself.

The chip that Huawei made alone says a lot about how much they care about making new tech. This chip is very strong and special and can do many things like using the fast 5G internet and doing smart things with AI. This chip makes the Mate 60 even better.

Making phones has been hard for Huawei because of some problems they’ve had. But, instead of giving up, Huawei tried something new and worked harder. They built their own chip and became a better competitor in the tech industry. Releasing (发行) the Mate 60 has made people notice Huawei’s hard work.

Huawei’s Mate 60 is a really good phone, and it shows how well Huawei understands what people need from a phone. It’s designed to help people use it better. The chip that Huawei made can make users’ experience even better, since it makes many things much more perfect.

The Huawei Mate 60 is a big win for Huawei. The success of the Mate 60 has opened new doors for Huawei all over the world. It shows Huawei’s energy and skills in making new technology, and how well they understand what technology will be like in the future. We hope Huawei will continue to do great things in the tech world and make more amazing products in the future.

9 . Today, a large number of people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe (低头族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member? Heads-down tribe members now can be seen everywhere.

More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use mobile phones while they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some new traffic rules have been made. For example, people who use mobile phones while driving in Taiwan are fined (罚款). Car drivers and motorcyclists who break the traffic rule will be fined NT $3,000 and NT $1,000 respectively (分别地).

As we can see above, using mobile phones may cause accidents and even cost a lot of money. Also, more and more interesting and strange stories happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let’s have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his mobile phone on his way home. As a result, he knocked into a big lost bear. When he lifted his eyes from the phone, he was so afraid that he turned around and ran away quickly. Another story is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but looking at their own mobile phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.

Mobile phones are helpful and necessary tools for modem life. Are mobile phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be “healthy” users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.

My 100 Days Without a Mobile Phone

When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month, or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time?

As a busy modern person with lots of social connections, plans and responsibilities, I just cannot afford to not be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However, sometimes it can be bothered (恼人的).

One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notices off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So, I simply stopped using my phone.

Well, to tell the truth, it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days, I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment, I had no idea what to get myself distracted (分心的) with, and the worries mixed with boredom (无聊) kept bothering me.

However, after three weeks without a mobile phone, I started noticing changes — changes which I liked, and which drove me to not just continue the experiment, but in fact to organize some of my habits again.

First of all, I noticed that I became much more focused (专注的). Before, while doing something, I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone, I found that the urge (冲动) was already not so strong and that my ability to focus improved.

I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before, I would look at it through my camera mostly: take a photo, post it, get some likes. Now, I saw beautiful people walking around and I felt the seasons change. I could understand the actual beauty of the world, and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares.

Now, as 100 days have passed, I can say that the experiment was worth it. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.
