五、阅读理解。(2025·江苏扬州邗江区梅苑双语学校期中)
①We all love our phones, but using them too much can cause problems. Do you know most people check their phones over 50 times a day? Many teens feel nervous when they don't have their phones nearby. Even worse, phones sometimes make us miss what's happening right around us. Here's how to take control without giving up your phone completely.
②A good way to use your phone less is to pick a special period of time each day. Choose 30 minutes after school just for phone use. During this period, really focus on what you're doing—watch videos, message friends, or play games. But when time's up, put your phone away.
③Next, fight those noisy dings and buzzes. Turn off all notifications(通知)except for important ones. Imagine this: Your phone stays quiet during homework hours, but still rings if your mum calls you. This simple change reduces the brain's ideas of “check it now”. Without these, you'll feel less pulled to check your phone.
④Create places where phones aren't allowed. Keep your phone out of these three places: the dinner table—talk to family instead, your bed—charge(充电)it in the kitchen overnight, and study areas. Try the “Doorway Method”: Leave your phone by the front door when you get home, and only check it there when truly needed. If reaching for your phone requires walking downstairs, you'll think twice.
⑤Scientists found that about 1/3 of the time we spend on our phones is just out of habit, not something we truly enjoy. That's why the methods are mentioned above. By making such small changes, you can save over 2 hours daily! Use that extra time to read, play outside, or try a new hobby.
⑥Remember what an old Greek teacher once said, “Real freedom comes from controlling yourself.” Phones are tools, not bosses. Start small: Try one tip this week. Your phone will still be there, but you'll be in charge.
