Do you struggle to leave your phone alone? Who are you communicating with when you pick up your phone? Are you using it to stay in touch with the people who     1    （真的）matter to you? Try to remember to put your closest friends and family members first. Perhaps it’s important to organize a video call with your     2    （祖父母）or a cousin who lives far away. Or maybe you use it to send a     3    （信息）to your best friend.

These communications can help build and develop your most important relationships, making things even more special when you next see each other face to face. On the other hand, you might decide to spend less of your     4    （有价值的）time on certain other people. They could     5    （包括）people you don’t know, and who aren’t as important to you.

How do you keep in touch with your families and friends? Think about it, which tool will be the first one jump into your mind? The answer is WeChat. Today, WeChat is becoming the most     1     (受欢迎的) text and voice messaging tool all over the world. It was developed by Tencent(腾讯) in     2     (一月), 2011.

Do you know how to use WeChat? It is so easy that not only old people but also little boys can learn it     3     (快地). First, you can use your phone number, QQ ID to     4     (创造) a WeChat ID. Then you can sign up to chat with your friends. If you want to send a voice message, press the “Hold to talk”button and record. With the interesting function “Look Around”, you can search for people who live nearby. “Shake” is another amazing function in WeChat. You can find a “stranger” to talk to by shaking the phone. The system will find out others who are shaking their phones at the same time and make a match.

WeChat is really a wonderful     5     (发明) that changed the world.

How do you feel if mobile phones are not allowed at school? In February, 2021, the Ministry of Education announced (宣布) that as a way of protecting students’eyes, mobile phones couldn’t     1     (take) into primary and middle schools.

Xu Xiaohe,     2     13-year-old student from Zhejiang Province, supports the rule. “In fact, my school has never allowed us     3     (bring) our mobile phones,” Xu says. “It’s not     4     (help) for us. Even adults can’t control themselves, let alone kids like us.”

Li Zihan from Beijing, however, thinks     5     (different). The 13-year-old student says, “Students should be taught self-management skills and learn how to use phones to help with       6     (they) studies. That might be the best way to deal with technology in modern times.”

For Ge Ziqi, the ban (禁令) has more to do with life outside school. She     7     (use) a bike-sharing app every day when she travels between her home and school. “    8    I can’t take my phone with me, I will have to buy my own bike,” she says.

Some schools have come up     9     ideas to solve problems like Ge’s. At Shanghai Shatian School, for example, students are allowed to put their phones in special lockers during     10     (weekday). Students call them   “Phone Farm”.

Cell Phones have been increasingly popular in China these days. Wherever you go and whenever it is, you can see people using the cell phone. Many college students even high school students, have cell phones. Some even can’t live     1     them.

Last month, Chongqing Three Gorges University (重庆三峡大学)     2     (hold) an activity named “Cell Phone Ninja” (手机忍者). They would like their students not     3     (use) cell phones for 21 days. It was really a challenge for most students. But many of them wanted to face it as     4     (brave) as they could because it was so meaningful.

    5     activity started on April 12. Each student who volunteered to take part in this activity got a bracelet (手环). If the students did not use their cell phones, there would be a photo on the screen of the bracelet to show that. If they used their cell phones, a different photo would appear on the screen. After the last class of each day, the students sent the photos to the school’s public WeChat. More than 800 students wished to take part in the test, and 400 of them     6     (choose). After seven days, only 103 students remained. The test was set for 21 days     7     some scientists believe that 21 days is long enough to help people form a habit.

According to the teachers in the university, the students who finished the task successfully would get a present. In fact, the     8     (active) was not a competition among students. It depended on students     9     (they) to make the decision. The teachers hoped that this activity could not only help students form better study habits but also become one of their most     10     (forget) experiences.
