Last month, Justin Valdez, a college student, was shot in a subway station in San Francisco. The surveillance video(監(jiān)控錄像) showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out his gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.

We may see the same scene everywhere in our life: in subway stations, restaurants, elevators and so on, people are watching their cell phones. From a family reunion to a date with a friend, people couldn’t stop checking their twitter and facebook on the cell phones and ignoring the persons in front completely, Phubbing(低頭癥) not only involves young people, but also the elderly and kids.

“Phubbing” is a new term which comes from the words “phone’’ and “snub(冷落)”. It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a cell phone. The word “phubbing” was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012. Obviously, the indifference冷漠) and rudeness of the information age are spreading globally. A Stop Phubbing campaign website has been set up. You can find the slogan of the website as follows: “stop twittering, stop posting photos…enjoy your food, enjoy the music and respect others.”

Phubbing appears harmless. However, it does influence our life. Jimmy, an epicure(美食家), wrote in his blog: “I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops as a result.”

Let us put down our cell phones and re-enjoy the real taste of our food and the warmth of interpersonal communication.

【解析】

解題分析:由于乘客們只是低頭看手機(jī)造成一場本該避免的悲劇發(fā)生,顯然,在信息時代里這種漠然和無理的病癥已蔓延全球。我們何不放下手機(jī)重新體驗美好的生活,并感受交流的溫馨時刻呢?

1.】推理判斷題。根據(jù)The surveillance video(監(jiān)控錄像) showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out his gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed the killer. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones. 監(jiān)控錄像顯示,就在賈斯汀被殺之前,兇手曾數(shù)次拿出手槍,甚至還用它蹭了鼻子?墒,沒有人注意到這個兇手。因為周圍的乘客都把注意力集中在自己的手機(jī)上了。因此選B。

2.】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第三段“Phubbing” is a new term which comes from the words “phone’’ and “snub(冷落)”. It describes the habit of snubbing someone in favor of a cell phone. Obviously, the indifference冷漠) and rudeness of the information age are spreading globally. phubbing”是一個新造詞,來自“phone”和“snub”。它形容的是人們只顧低頭玩手機(jī)而經(jīng)常忽略身旁的人。低頭癥者完全忽視前方的人們,不會停止看手機(jī),對周圍事物很冷漠。選C。

3.】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Let us put down the cell phone and re-savor the real taste of food and the warmth of interpersonal communication.得知吉米建議我們,何不放下手機(jī)重新體驗食物的美味,并感受交流的溫馨時刻。選B。

4.】主旨大意題。第一段講到了由于乘客們只是低頭看手機(jī)造成一場本該避免的悲劇發(fā)生,下文又提到低頭癥者很冷漠,倡議大家抵制低頭癥。因此本文主要講述了低頭癥的危害。選D。

I had a lot of teachers that I loved. However, the teacher that I remember most was Mrs. Green from Marianna, Florida. She was my 5th grade teacher. Since I was a new student, not only in her class, but at the school, she made my time there much more pleasant. I immediately began to like her. She was really funny and I knew that she liked me. She made learning fun. I remember one day for Christmas holidays, she taught us how to make ornaments(裝飾物) from eggs. My parents still have some of the ornaments I made.

She made me leader for many group projects and that made me feel special. I think that would make any child feel special, especially when a child is in a new place with no friends. She made me want to be like that. Not to pick a “favorite” student, but to make every student feel that they are special. That year, I received the Presidential Academic Award(美國總統(tǒng)學(xué)術(shù)獎) . I was really proud and so were my parents.

Looking back at it, I think the reason why I did so well was that I felt important. Students do better when they feel like they are important or loved. Mrs. Green always gets to know her students and forms personal relationships with them, which I will try to do some day. I just hope that there will be a student who finds me to be their favorite teacher as I found her to be mine.
