【推荐2】The Beijing Expo Park, where the International Horticultural Exhibition (国际园艺展) took place in 2019, has become a camping resort this summer. Twelve camping areas each named after the constellations (星座) have recently opened to the public at the park.
“When I see parents and children put down their mobile phones and enjoy their family time, I feel happy. At this moment, all our efforts in organizing this camping festival have paid off, ”said Xue He, a camping operator at the park.

【推荐3】We asked four people who watched an online talk on technology and communication by Sherry Turkle for their opinions.
Fred:
The talk certainly gave me plenty of food for thought about how technology is changing our behaviour. People are constantly multitasking, whether it be emailing during meetings or texting in the checkout queue. It’s as if we can’t bear to miss out on what our online friends are up to, so we juggle the real and online world. My greatest concern is that we don’t give our brains a chance to switch off. It’s these precious moments when we actually process information that helps us make important decisions.
Jeremy:
It was a fascinating talk and the speaker really hit the nail on the head with a couple of things. Take parental influence, for instance. How can we expect teenagers not to text while doing their homework when they witness their parents posting on social media while cooking the evening meal or waiting at a red light?
Kath:
So much of what the speaker said rang true. I honestly believe there’s a danger that the more connected we are, the more isolated we feel. I don’t think this is such an issue for my generation who’ve lived without technology for so long. We know how to be alone. But the under 20s are another kettle of fish. They’re so busy communicating that they never experience the feeling of solitude and run the risk of not learning how to enjoy their own company.
Carl:
I’m not sure to what extent I agree that people are more alone, but the way we communicate has certainly evolved. The speaker makes a good point about how we’re getting used to talking with machines like Siri or robots, which are totally lack of experience of human life. But despite such limitations, we seem to be expecting more from technology and less from each other.
1. What does the underlined phrase “these precious moments” in paragraph 2 refer to?A.When our brains are free. | B.When we emailing during meeting. |
C.When we texting in the checkout queue. | D.When we juggle the real and online world. |
A.Accompany their children when they are doing homework. |
B.Prevent their children using phone while doing homework. |
C.Set a good example for their children on using phone properly. |
D.Stop posting on social media in face of their children. |
A.They communicate more with others. | B.They use more technology. |
C.It’s difficult for them to find companies. | D.They don’t know how to be alone. |
A.Favorable. | B.Intolerant. | C.Doubtful. | D.Indifferent. |
