It was Sunday, so Dad and I were at the second-hand goods market, looking for tools, appliances(家用电器), and other things that needed cleaning.Some were broken; others, like silver cups, just needed to be cleaned and polished.It was 1974, and the Depression(经济大萧条) was very serious.Dad worked full-time at a factory, but the money wasn‘t enough.Dad had tried a second job for a while, but he found it was too hard on the family.One day, he had an excellent idea that set me on a lifelong course of making money to support myself.Standing beside a crowded table at the second-hand goods market, I looked over an ancient manual sewing machine.Someone had changed it to run on electric power.It was much older than Mom‘s machine, but it looked like it had quality and a long life built into it.“Dad!” I called.“This is a beauty!”
Dad walked over, pulling a cart full of audio equipment, tools, worn-out appliances, and what appeared to be a block of dull kitchen knife.“What have you got, Son?” I described what I saw and what I figured I could do to x the beauty up.Dad paid for my discovery, and we headed home.
Every day after school I worked on the ancient machine, and every night Dad and I sharpened tools and knives, sanded off rust, polished metal, and replaced missing parts from various items.The next Saturday we headed off, as we did every weekend, to that same market, where we sold the treasures we‘d purchased the week before—at a tidy profit.My antique beauty brought in more money than anything else, and Dad let me keep every penny.
Dad‘s gone now, but I can never thank him enough.Even if we hadn‘t needed the extra money Dad and I brought in, I wouldn‘t have traded those weekends for all the picnics or Little League games in St.Louis—not in a million years.

It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited.
My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd left it at home.
No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’ (无手机恐惧症), the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.
It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, and that 18-24 year-olds, especially girls, are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.
Do you have nomophobia ?
• You never turn your phone off
• You frequently(频繁地) check for texts, missed calls and emails
• You always take your phone to the bathroom with you
• You never let the battery run out
It's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessmen carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said there would be more mobile phones than people across the world by the end of 2020.
And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge(主管)? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?
So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no desire(欲望) to check my phone.
Not having it with me felt strangely free. Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.
1.What does the passage talk about?
A. The history of mobile phones.
B. The story of meeting an old university friend.
C. The attraction of playing mobile phone.
D. The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles.
2.The underlined phrase “on edge” the third paragraph probably means __________.
A. energetic B. nervous
C. brilliant D. amazed
3.What’s the author’s attitude towards the using mobiles?
A. Worried B. Positive
C. Neutral D. Negative
4.According to the passage, who is most likely to be addicted(上瘾的) to mobiles?
A. a successful manager B. a 21-year-old girl
C. a 21-year-old boy D. a lonely middle-aged person
