科目：初中英語 來源： 題型：

【題目】 Nearly 2. 4 billion people around the world used a smart phone in 2017. By the end of 2018, more than a third of the global population will be using smart phones. Those numbers sound great, don't they? More people will have more information at their fingertips. However, smart phone technology can be a double-edged sword（雙刃劍）.

On one hand, it sends us endless information. We don't have to wait. Our devices ring, vibrate（振動(dòng)）and light up with the latest news from family, friends and around the world. On the other hand, this immediate way to information may become an addiction（癮）. And it may make some people feel lonely, worried and stressed.

These findings are from a 2018 study from Erik Peper and Richard Harvey who are both health education teachers at San Francisco State University. They led the study.

The two teachers asked 135 university students about their smart phone use and their feelings. They found that "students who used their phones the most reported higher levels of feeling—lonely, stressed and worried."

But Erik Peper suggests turning off push notifications（推送提醒）and other such alerts on our phones. The researchers also suggest taking control of when and where you answer a text, a message or an email. You do not need to answer them all. And you certainly don't need to answer them as soon as you get them. They also suggest setting limits on the time you spend on smart phones. If you want to catch up with friends, set aside a small amount of time to it. Focus on important tasks and do not allow technology to take up your time.

【1】More than a third of the global population will be using smart phones ________.

A.in 2017B.By the end of 2017

C.in 2018D.By the end of 2018

【2】Smart phones send endless information immediately, but it makes some people feel ________.

A.lonelyB.worriedC.stressedD.all of the above

【3】Peper and Richard Harvey are ________.

A.studentsB.teachersC.doctorsD.reporter

【4】How many suggestions are given to fight against smart phone addiction?

A.One.B.Two.C.ThreeD.Four

【5】What's the main idea of this passage?

A.The advantages of smart phones.B.The disadvantages of smart phones.

C.We shouldn't use smart phones.D.We should use smart phones properly.
