A smart phone’s low battery warning is the only warning that most people take seriously. Try the following steps and you will improve your battery life.

1. Let there be less light

For larger smart phones, the longer the screen is on and the brighter it is, the faster your battery goes. Try making the screen as dark as you can bear it and still read a text. Darkening the screen is common among teenagers, but it may be hard for Mom and Dad to see what’s showing on their phone.

2. Turn off the signals

Your smart phone does a lot of communicating in the background. They’re checking for things like new emails, text messages, Wi-Fi signals, Bluetooth signals, your location and more. These activities do drain your battery life, so you should turn off whatever you aren’t using. Location Services is also another feature that burns up your battery, so you can use GPS and Wi-Fi to find out which apps have access to Location Services and turn them off.

3. Turn off notifications (通告)

Another way to improve battery life is to stop the constant flow of notifications and updates from Facebook, email, games and sites. Your phone will automatically pick up these notifications when it’s connected to the Internet, and they can have a noticeable impact on battery life.

4. Use battery saving mode (模式)

For a quick way to improve your battery, simply put your smart phone in Airplane Mode. If Airplane Mode is too limiting, some phones have a specific battery saver mode. This shuts down unimportant functions and apps like Wi-Fi, some updates and more.

If used properly, these tips above will improve your battery life up to 30 percent.

1.The underlined word “drain” means “　　　　　 ”.

A. light up　　　　 B. use up

C. pick up　　　　　　 D. make up

2.If you want to improve your battery life, you are advised to use a 　　　　 .

A. small screen　　　　 B. large screen

C. bright screen　 　 D. round screen

3.We can infer that aged people tend to　　　　　 .

A. email family members　　　　　　　　 B. use Location Services

C. darken the screen　　　　　　　　　　 D. brighten the screen

4.We can learn that Airplane Mode can 　　　　 .

A. improve signals　 B. waste energy

C. affect health　　 D. save power

Like many other people, I love my smart phone, which keeps me connected with the larger world that can go anywhere with me. I also love my laptop, because it holds all of my writing and thoughts. In spite of this love of technology, I know that there are times when I need to move away from these devices and truly communicate with others.

On occasion, I teach a course called History Matters for a group of higher education managers. My goals for the class include a full discussion of historical themes and ideas. Because I want students to thoroughly study the materials and exchange their ideas with each other in the classroom, I have a rule ---no laptop, iPads, phones, etc. When students were told my rule in advance of the class, some of them were not happy.

Most students assume that my reasons for this rule include unpleasant experiences in the past with students misusing technology. There's a bit of truth to that. Some students assume that I am anti-technology. There' s no truth in that at all. I love technology and try to keep up with it, so I carelate to my students.

The real reason why I ask students to leave technology at the door is that I think there are very few places in which we can have deep conversions and truly engage complex ideas. Interruptions by technology often break concentration and allow for too much dependence on outside information for ideas. I want students to dig deep within themselves for inspiration and ideas. I want them to push each other to think differently and make connections between the course materials and the class discussion.

I’ve been teaching my history class in this way for many years and the evaluations reflect students' satisfaction with the environment that I create. Students realize that with deep conversation and challenge, they learn at a level that helps them keep the course materials beyond the classroom.

I'm not saying that I won't ever change my mind about technology use in my history class, but until I hear a really good reason for the change, I'm sticking to my plan. A few hours of technology-free dialogue is just too sweet to give up.

1.Which of the following statements is true?

A. The author's history class received low assessment.

B. The students think highly of the author's history class.

C. The author made the rule in that he was against technology.

D. The author made the rule mainly because of his unpleasant experiences.

2.According to the author, the use of technology in the classroom may 　　　　　 .

A. allow students to get on well with each other

B. improve teaching and offer more help

C. prohibit students being involved in class

D. help students to better understand complex themes

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. More and more students will be absent in history class.

B. The author will carry on the success in the future

C. Some students will be punished according to the rule.

D. The author will help students concentrate on what they learn.

People have got faster at typing text messages on their phones. But how fast are we at using a smart phone compared to typing words on a traditional keyboard? A team of researchers carried out an experiment.

The researchers used an Internet-based system to test the typing speed of over 37,000 volunteers on their smart phones. The volunteers spent about six hours a day using their phones. Most of them used two thumbs to type. Both Android and iPhone users were tested. They were given 15 English sentences to type out on their phones as quickly and accurately as possible.

The research team found that people wrote about 36 words per minute. It is slower than the average rate for people using a computer keyboard. In a 2018 University of Cambridge study, the average speed for computer typists was 52 words per minute. Noting the narrowing of speed rates between smart phones and computers, the team said we have become slower at typing on keyboards over the years. 75 percent of those taking part in the study had typing speeds below 44 words per minute. But the fastest phone typists reached speeds of 80 words per minute. People using two thumbs typed 38 words per minute. Those using only one finger 29 words per minute.

According to the findings, Anna Feit, a researcher at ETH Zurich, said it makes sense that younger people have higher typing speeds because they spend a lot more time on their devices. It was found that a phone's automatic correct tool can be helpful. Users were able to type faster with it. “The given understanding is that techniques like word completion help people”, Feit said. “But we found the time spent thinking about the word suggestions often outweighs the time spent typing the letters, making you slower.”

The difference between typing on a smart phone and a keyboard is called “the typing gap". They say this gap will further narrow in future as people get less skilled with keyboards and as smart methods for typing on devices continue to improve.

1.What is the purpose of the experiment?

A.To prove typing on keyboards is the fastest way.

B.To track over 37,000 volunteers' typing habits.

C.To promote people's typing speed on smart phones.

D.To find out how faster people type on their phones.

2.Which of the following groups type the fastest according to the passage?

A.People using two thumbs in the research.

B.Those using only one finger in the research.

C.75 percent of the volunteers in the study.

D.Computer typists in the 2018 Cambridge study.

3.What can we know according to Anna Feit?

A.Automatic correct tool isn't useful. B.Word completion can't help much.

C.The aged need word suggestions. D.Typing won't be needed on phones

4.What does the author predict about “the typing gap"?

A.It will become smaller and smaller.

B.It will be replaced by word completion.

C.It will make people less skilled at typing.

D.It will slow the development of smart phones.
