No Mobile Means You’re Not in Touch

My household now has four mobile phones: one for me; one each for my eldest children, the twin boys; and one for my 15-year-old daughter. Only my 12-year-old son does not (yet) have his own mobile. In other words, we’re now in line with national figures, which show that Australia has 19 million mobile phones for a population of just over 20 million people. Among 15-to 17-year-olds, nearly nine out of 10.

The reality is that a mobile phone is the coolest thing of all for a teenager to own. It’s even more important than a television, a DVD player or access to the internet. If you don’t have a mobile you are, quite literally, out of touch.

Of course, there are good and bad sides to mobiles. In my global media world, I’ve lived with a mobile switched on 24 hours a day, seven days a week, for the past ten years. At the same time, here in Perth, I started a movement on talkback radio called CAMPIR (Campaign Against Mobile Phones in Restaurants). Nothing annoys me more than people who feel that an incoming mobile call is more important than the company they are with at a restaurant or even at their dining table at home, but I believe that in the long term, we will have a revolt against the intrusion of mobiles into our personal lives.

There was a study in New Zealand last year among young teenagers that showed a quarter have used text messaging to end a relationship. Here in Australia, I’ve read of people being fired by text. That’s cold. On the other hand, lots of parents---myself included---feel their children are safer if they have their mobile with them when they are away from home.

I’ve even read that the use of mobiles among kids may mean that they smoke less. Phones are a stronger status symbol than cigarettes among children and also give them something to do with their hands.

Psychologists, though, argue that mobiles are actually a way for kids to bypass their parents. They can communicate constantly with their friends without their parents knowing anything of the conversations. No matter what the future brings, I don’t expect ever to have fewer mobiles in the house. On the contrary, the next challenge is to see if I can get through the rest of this year without having to buy a mobile phone for my youngest child.

1.According to the passage, a mobile phone is the coolest thing for a teenager to possess because _________.

A.In their opinion, the mobile phone is the most fashionable possession

B.A mobile phone is the most useful tool in the life.

C.The teenager keeps in contact with others exactly by using a mobile phone.

D.The Internet is less important than the mobile phone.

2.,Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A.In New Zealand most young teenagers have used text messaging to end a relationship.

B.The writer doesn’t think his children can avoid danger if they have their mobile with them .

C.The use of mobiles among kids may contribute to their less smoking.

D.Cigarettes are the strongest status symbol among children.

3.The underlined word “bypass” in the fifth paragraph probably means __________.

A. contact       B. avoid        C. inform        D. oppose

4.  It can be inferred from the passage that __________.

A. The children in the family each have a mobile phone.

B. About 60% of the children aged 15-17 have phones in Australia.

C. The writer is likely to buy a mobile phone for his youngest child this year.

D. The writer doesn’t agree that children should own a mobile phone.

Do you suffer from cybersickness？

The rise of mobile phones has been blamed for a number of social ills, but your smart phone may also be making you physically sick as well. Scientists have identified a condition called “cybersickness”, which they say is the digital version of motion sickness. The phenomenon, which affects up to 80 percent of the population who own smart phones or tablets, leads to feelings of sickness and unsteadiness. It is caused by seeing fast motion on a screen, which covers anything from a car chase in a film to scrolling through web pages on your phone.

The more realistic the visual content appears to you, the higher your chances of getting cybersickness are . The condition was identified in a piece in the New York Times in which British and US experts said that it needed solving. Motion sickness leaves sufferers feeling ill because they feel movement in your muscles and your inner ear but do not see it. The mismatch in digital sickness is the opposite—you see movement on the screen but do not feel it. The effect is the same and the symptoms include a headache, wanting to throw up, confusion and the need to sit down. Often cybersickness shows itself in a subtle way and sufferers put it down to stress or eyestrain.

Steven Rauch, a professor of otolaryngology（耳鼻喉科学） at Harvard Medical School, said: “Your sense of balance is different from other senses in that it has lots of inputs. When those inputs don’t agree, that’s when you feel dizziness and sickness. ”

Some studies that have been carried out into cybersickness found that women are more susceptible than men, the New York Times reported. Those who have Type A’ personalities—meaning they are confident and determined—are more likely to suffer from cybersickness as well. Among those who have reported experiencing the condition have been video gamers who spend hours playing fast paced games. Engineers at Oculus VR, the virtual headset manufacturer, have admitted that digital motion sickness is one of their biggest problems.

1.From the text, we know that cybersickness ______.

A. is completely equal to motion sickness

B. affects up to 80% of the population.

C. leads to people’s feelings of sickness and unsteadiness

D. is caused by seeing fast moving objects around

2.What’s the difference between motion sickness and digital sickness?

A. Digital sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.

B. Digital sickness means sufferers feel movement but do not see it.

C. Motion sickness means sufferers see movement but do not feel it.

D. Motion sickness means sufferers don’t see or feel movement

3.What does the underlined word “susceptible” in the last paragraph mean?

A. likely to accept　　　　　　 　 B. likely to be affected

C. likely to suspect　　　　　 　 D. likely to be cured

4.This passage is most probably ____________.

A. a science fiction　　　　 B. a newspaper ad

C. a book review　　　　　　 　　 D. a science news report

The unwanted disturbing of a mobile phone ringing at a critical moment has led to some famously strong reactions

British actor Richard Grif-fiths，stopped a performance at the National Theatre and ordered The offending party to leave

Judge Robert Restaino went considerably further．He was hearing a session of domestic violence offenders in a court when proceedings were interrupted by rings of a phone．

“Everyone is going to jail unless I get that instrument now,” he shouted．

Over the next two hours，the judge entered a period of “incredible madness”．He began by ordering the doors of the court locked，and set the officers to searching for the phone．

When that failed to find the offending item he ordered each of the defendants(被告) present in the room up to his bench and in turn asked them if they  had no idea, he sent each in turn to jail(监狱).

All 46 of them．

When a defendant protested the judge’s actions were not fair to those who didn’t possess the phone，Restaino replied：“I know it isn’t．

Judge’s actions caused chaos．Extra officers had to be drafted into the court to control the crowd．and booking officers at the city jail were at full stretch．“We were playing Twister in here”, one said at the time．

Fourteen of the defendants were shackled(束缚 )in irons and sent to the county jail．

The judge cooled off and later that afternoon released all 46．

The “two hours of viral lunacy（疯狂）”, has probably cost Restaino his job．The commission ruled that he should be removed from his $14,000 job．Restaino now has 30 days to appeal(上诉)．

His lawyer pointed out that until that moment he had served 11 years as a judge without any disciplinary issues．“With the exception of two hours．his record is spotless．”

1.The underlined sentence in the passage means _____．

A．To indicate the disadvantage of mobile phone．

C．To provide an excuse for Richard’s offence．

D．To support the opinion above

3.Two hours of viral lunacy will_____

A．make Robert pay a large sum of money

B．make no difference to Robert

C．most likely make Robert lose his job

D．make him world famous

4.What’s the best title of the passage?

A．Phone-rage(狂怒) judge    B．Judge，prisoner and mobile phone

C．The story in court     D．Mobile phone in court

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

It has become the modern substitute of glancing at your watch—the furtive(偷偷的)look at a phone screen to check for new messages or have a quick look at Facebook．Researchers have now found why we often feel such a strong urge to glance at our handset．Using your mobile，they say，is easily affected by other people．

A University of Michigan team say people are twice as likely to pull out their phones to check their messages or emails if they’re with someone who has just done the same．It also found that females were more likely to use their mobile than men because it was more ‘consistent’ with the daily lives of women．

The team watched students in dining halls and coffee shops around campus，observing pairs of students sitting at tables for as long as 20 minutes and recorded their cellphone use at 1 0-second intervals．

“What we found most interesting was just how often people were using their mobile phones，” Dr Daniel Kruger， the study’s co-author, said．“Every person we observed used his／her phone at least once while one woman was on hers about half of the time．You may see others checking their incoming messages and be encouraged to check your own．’’

Overall，the students used their cellphones in an average of 24 percent，the researchers found．But they were significantly more likely to use their phones(39．5 percent)when their companion had just done so in the previous 10-second interval than without the social clue，the researchers said，adding that this behavior was often repeated．

Cell phones create an alternative way for one’s attention and may both promote and interrupt ongoing social activities，the researchers wrote．

Kruger believes this pattern could be related to the effects of social acceptance and rejection．If one person in a pair engages in another conversation through their phone，his or her companion may feel rejected．That companion then might be forced to connect with others from outside so as not to feel left out．

1.People’s strong desire to check their messages partly results from ___________．

A．the modern substitute of their watches

B．the new messages of their handsets

C．the same behavior of other people

D．the update service of Facebook

2.Why do women use their phones more frequently?

A．They want to show off their modern mobiles．

B．They are more likely to be influenced by others．

C．They try to set a good example for others．

D．They desire to meet the demands of society．

3.How might one feel when his companion is busy checking messages?

A．Relaxed．　　                 B．Ashamed．

C．Surprised．                D．Ignored．

4. The underlined part“this behavior” in Paragraph 5 refers to _______________．

A．using the cellphones　　 B．receiving social clues

C. joining in activities         D．engaging in conversations

5.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A．Social Acceptance And Rejection

B．Females Use Mobiles More than Men

C．How Do People Check Messages?

D．Cellphone Use Is Spreading
