21、 Indonesian university student Tyas Sisianindita spends about eight hours a day on her phone. That time includes watching videos, chatting with friends and using social media. "At night, when I can't sleep, I can use my phone for up to five hours," she said, noting she checks her phone countless times from morning until night. She even checks it while in class.
Tyas goes to the University of Indonesia, where a team of students recently developed a device meant to fight phone addiction. The students spent three months creating the device, which can help internet users like Tyas diminish time they spend looking at their phones.
Inventor Irfan Budi Satria led the development team. The device is called “Nettox", which combines the words “internet" and "detox (排毒)". Users wear it on their arm. The device has a sensor that measures hemoglobin (红蛋白) oxygen levels and changes to the heart rate called HRV. Studies have found that using a mobile phone for long hours can lower HRV levels. The Nettox device makes a sound when HRV and blood oxygen levels fall, which reminds wearers to stop using their phones.
For people between the ages of 18 and 25, the HRV should stay above 60. At a recent trial, Tyas' HRV reading was 44.
Internet addiction is a growing social issue in Indonesia. In October, two teenagers were treated for their addiction to internet gaming, media reported.
Irfan Budi Satria's team is working to improve Nettox's accuracy. HRV readings can change depending on whether the user is a man or woman, and what their body shape and health conditions are.
The team aims to get a patent for their invention with the university by next year. Irfan says Nettox is for people already trying to change their behavior. "Our goal is to help people who want to free themselves from internet addiction," he said.

22、Walking down a path through some woods in Georgia, I saw a small pool of water ahead on the path. I angled my direction to go around it on the part of the path that wasn't covered by water or mud. As I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked! Yet I did nothing for the attack. It was so unpredictable and from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt though I had been struck four or five times. I backed up a foot and my attacker stopped attacking me. Had I been hurt I wouldn't have found it amusing. And I was laughing. After all, I was being attacked by a butterfly!
Having stopped, laughing, I took a step forward. My attacker rushed me again. He charged towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but in vain. For a second time, I took a step backwards while my attacker paused. I wasn't sure what to do. After all, it's just not everyday that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That's when I discovered why my attacker was charging me only moments earlier. He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could only admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had taken it up on himself to attack me for his mate's sake （缘故）, even though she was clearly dying and I was so large. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life, should I have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mate's safety seemed admirable. I couldn't do anything other than reward him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool. He had truly earned those moments to be with her, undisturbed.
Since then, I've always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.

23、 Terracotta Warriors from Xi’an, Shanxi province, are well-known worldwide for their significance in history. Behind these relics, conservator-restorers work day and night to piece fragments together and restore these ancient figures.
Lan Desheng is one of these restorers. Having majored in cultural heritage at Northwest University in Xi’an, he has restored more than 150 figures in the past 25 years. He imagines himself as a doctor from the Qin Dynasty (221—206 BC), the time when these warriors were created. “There are many different types of doctors in the world, but few could have diagnosed and treated those Qin warriors, who lived over 2,000 years ago,” said the 52-year-old restorer.
Over the years, the technology used to restore the figures has changed, but the fundamental methods remain the same. Abiding by the rule of minimum intervention, Lan and his team try to restore the relics by examining fragments and fitting them into the Terracotta Warrior figures.
The process demands great attention to detail and also enables him to get to know his “patients” better. Lan said the figures have colorful painting and sometimes even the fingerprints of the artisans who made the figures. The artisans’ names were also carved into the warriors, but these signatures might be hard to find. “If you look closely at the fragments, you can see traces of the artisans’ fingerprints and complete palm prints left after they heavily slapped the clay. There are also traces of the hairs they shed,” said Lan.
After decades of experience, Lan can already tell the differences between works of Qin Court craftsmen and those of local artisans. Without a doubt, patience is essential when restoring these figures. Sometimes it might take years for missing fragments of a figure to be found, if it can ever be recovered. “In some cases, we have been unable to locate the remaining parts of Terracotta Warriors that have been assembled for the past year or two. When this happens, there is nothing to do but stop work,” Lan said.
Despite these difficulties, Lan said this is his ideal job. He is proud to have contributed to the process of restoring these historic relics. “We employ materials used in the Qin Dynasty to restore and repair the warriors and their horses―a legacy we will pass on to the next generation,” he said.
【1】What can we know about restoring Terracotta Warriors?
A．The less intervention in restoration, the better.
B．Restorers receive the same training as doctors.
C．Restorers have to have a degree in cultural heritage.
D．The methods have greatly changed due to advanced technology.
【2】What could you find if you observe the figures of Terracotta Warriors closely?
A．Names of the warriors.
B．The figures’ palm prints.
C．Details of the figures’ hair.
D．Traces of the figure makers’ fingerprints.
【3】Why is restoring Terracotta Warriors difficult?
A．Restorers are sometimes forced to stop assembling.
B．Restorers don’t know where to find the remaining parts.
C．It may take a long time to find all of the missing parts, if ever.
D．Restorers have to work together to piece fragments together.
【4】What is the passage mainly about?
A．Why repairing the relics is important.
B．What difficulties Lan has experienced in his career.
C．What the future generation can do to restore the relics.
D．How conservator-restorers repair the figures of Terracotta Warriors.
