24、Is the Mobile Phone a Must-have for Teenagers?
Next time you're in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their mobile phones. I can tell you now that it is probably more than half, whether you're on public transport, in a café or simply walking down the street.With the development of technology, we can now do almost anything on the mobile phones. How does the use of mobile phones affect(影响) the young? Do they really need mobile phones or not? Some British parents, teachers and teenagers give their opinions on this subject.
Parents want their kids to be safe. Are teenagers safer with a mobile phone or without? William, a parent of two kids, says, "The great thing about my kids having mobile phones is that I can keep in touch with them. The worst thing about teenagers having phones is that some young people use them to send impolitemessages to each other." Some parents have rules about their children's mobile phone and internet usage. If they break the rules, their phones will be kept by their parents.
In the UK, students can take their mobile phones to school,but they are not allowed to use them in class. Some teachers complain(抱怨) that students don’t always follow the rules. They don't listen carefully in class because they are using their phones to surf the internet, chat with friends or so on. As for the students, most of them think phones are part of their lives. They can keep in touch with family and friends, and they can take photos, keep important information and surf the internet, which is very convenient(方便). Some consider phones as a kind of fashion(时尚) and they don't want others to see them as "out" or "different".
It’s true that mobile phones have become a symbol of the modern life. This form of technology makes teenagers' life much more convenient, but if teenagers depend too much on them, it can lead to serious problems. Increasingly scientists are saying that everyone needs a break from mobile phones —put them away and experience “the real life”. In fact it can be very easy—next time when you go out with friends, put all of your phones in the middle of the table. Whoever touches his phone first has to pay the bill!
Indeed, the convenience brought by mobile phones is great, but don't let your phone become more important than the “real”people in your “real”life.
【1】The mobile phones will probably be kept by parents if the teenagers________.
A. go out with classmates and friends and pay the bill
B. search for a lot of important information and keep it
C. take them to school and look up new words after class
D. send impolitemessages and surf the Internet too much
【2】According to the passage which of the following is true?
A. All students consider mobile phones as a kind of fashion.
B. Teachers allow students to use mobile phones in class in the UK.
C. Parents often count how many young people are using mobile phones.
D. More and more scientists think people need a break from mobile phones.
【3】What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A. Schools should stop students from taking their phones to school.
B. The mobile phone is the most important invention in modern life.
C. Mobile phones are useful but teenagers shouldn’t totally depend on them.
D. Talking with friends on mobile phones is better than doing it face to face.
25、Technology is changing to suit people’s needs. The early development of transportation technology as well as the modern development of telecommunication has offered human a rapid rise in efficiency (效率). Of course, technology has also made life more complicated (复杂的) and some may say, led to bad effects. However, it is obvious that technology has made life better than before.
There’s no doubt that technology has improved the standards of living. Machines can now do the heavier work which human beings find very difficult to do. Industrialization (工业化) has brought about large production, people can get goods at a cheaper price, too. Technology has made every aspect (方面) of life more convenient: computers have made work in the office more efficient and transport systems have made travel cheaper and even more enjoyable.
Technology has also improved the quality of social life. The communication technology has brought the world closer, whether for business or for personal relationships.
Yet, even though it is true that life has improved with technology, life has also become more complicated as technology becomes more common in our lives. The use of the Internet has changed the way we communicate, socialize and do business, and thus exposed us to risks. As more business deals take place online, there is an increase in cybercrime (网络犯罪). And stolen data has become a huge problem for businesses and banks. Cyberbullying (网络欺凌) is also becoming more widespread today. As much as technology has improved our lives, it has also brought about new sets of problems.
Still, technology has given us the means to a better life that was unimaginable. To say that technology does not make life better or even makes life worse is an absolute wrong conclusion. There are also creative ways to solve the problems that technology has brought about, such as using laws and technology itself to solve the very problems it brings about. For example, some countries have introduced laws that control the use of online information to ensure personal safety is protected. Today, space rovers (漫游者) are even exploring new planets to check for signs of life. So, with the development of technology, it is fair to say that the stars are not out of reach.
【1】According to the passage, how has technology improved the standards of living?
A.By increasing people’s heavier work.
B.By making work in the office more enjoyable.
C.By making different aspects of life more convenient.
D.By helping solve all kinds of difficult problems in life.
【2】What can we learn from the passage?
A.Technology has brought more problems than convenience to human.
B.Communication is more complicated because of technology.
C.Machines will take the place of human beings in the future.
D.Laws can be made to protect personal safety on the Internet.
【3】Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?
A.Will Technology Really Meet Our Future Needs?
B.Can We Protect Ourselves with Technology?
C.Can Technology Change the Way We Work?
D.Has Technology Made Life Better?
26、Three students are choosing a course at the West Midlands College of Technology.
