Here’s the situation. You’re sitting at the table listening to the conversation when your cellphone rings. There is something very important that wants your attention. Maybe your phone buzzed for an email, text message, Facebook post or tweet. You don’t know unless you check your phone. You may be feeling a strong case of FOMO: Fear of Missing Out.

You may think that a quick check of your phone isn’t rude. Your companions probably disagree. A recent study of cellphone use found that most US adults think checking your phone is rude in social situations.

The study found that only 5 percent of Americans felt that checking your cellphone during a meeting is acceptable. Only 12 percent support checking your cellphone during a family dinner.

The study said, “Americans think that when people focus on their phones instead of their companions, it hurts the group in which they are taking part.”

People can be offended when they feel ignored. They also don’t like others who talk too loudly or share private information in public when using their phones.

About three-fourths of US adults view using cellphones in public as acceptable when using public transportation, waiting in line, and walking down the street. But most US adults disapprove of cellphone use at the dinner table, in movie theater, meetings, and places of worship.

People might use their cellphones in social situations because they see others doing it: 86 percent of people surveyed said that someone else used a phone at the most recent social event they attended. People may use their phones at social events to share something from the event. That might be a photo, information, or to free from the group.

1.The writer starts the passage by ________.

A. listing the uses of cellphones

B. imagining a scene in life

C. discussing the bad influence of cellphones

D. talking about a chat on cellphones

2.If you use your cellphones in social situates, others will feel that they aren’t ________.

3.Where do most Americans accept the cellphones use?

A. Seeing a movie in the cinema.

The news of Harper Lee’s second novel broke the internet. Go Set a Watchman would be published in July. Lee became a recluse (隱士)after the publication of her first book, To Kill a Mockingbird, in 1960. Although the author has been out of the public eye for more than 50 years, the wave that followed the announcement showed her novel’s beloved place in the American literary works.

In 1991, The Book of the Month Club and the library of Congress conducted a survey that made readers identify books that had made a difference in their lives. Lee’s book followed only The Bible. Alongside the works of Shakespeare and Twain, To Kill a Mockingbird remains one of the most widely taught books nationwide, reaching an estimated 70% of American public schools. What makes it such a perfect read for young people？

English class is a place where young Americans come to know themselves. In the folds of dusty books, students can make contact with humanity beyond the superficial(膚淺的) conversations of the school hallways. Literature promises relief, a place to figure out one’s problems and get to know oneself better.

To Kill a Mockingbird particularly distinguishes itself in this regard. It speaks in child’s voice without treating its readership as children. People have called it an ‘impossible’ achievement, a children’s book penned in the prose(散文) of a well-educated adult—it’s unlikely that a child like

Scout could exist in the real world. But that’s exactly what makes it such a charming read for young people. It alludes to (轉(zhuǎn)彎抹角地說到)the consciousness of a well-educated adult going through difficult realities, but shows it through the light and playful voice of a curious little girl.

1.In which year might Go Set a Watchman come out?

A. 2015 B. 1960 C. 1910 D. 1991

2.Which book leaves the deepest impression on American readers?

A. Go Set a Watchman B. To Kill a Mockingbird

C. The Bible D. Shakespeare’s works

3.Which of the following statements is right about To Kill a Mockingbird?

A. Its author may be a playful child.

B. It’s a story about a well-educated adult.

C. Young people can see themselves from it.

D. It’s impossible for children like Scout to exist.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. The Great Writer: Harper Lee B. The Great Young People Novel

C. Voices from Children D. Differences Harper Lee made
