If you need to call your parents but your phone is not with you, can you remember their numbers?

To remember 11 numbers is not difficult. However, because of the smartphone, many of us are losing this ability. What’s more, smartphones weaken（削弱）our skills at giving directions, as well as killing face-to-face communications. Even when friends are having a meal together, it’s common for most to check their phones.

According to a report by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, an American company, Chinese people spend about 170 minutes on their smartphones daily.

Many students are addicted to using smartphones. It does no good to their study. Research by Japan’s Education Ministry showed children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones perform much worse in school test than those who play with their phones for 30 minutes.

It’s true that the smartphone has made our lives easier. But many also think they spend too much time on it, and this is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.

A new app（應(yīng)用軟件）called Forest was introduced this month. It lets users plant a seed that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes. During the half hour, users cannot use their phones, or the tree will die.

A restaurant in Los Angeles, US, gives people a 5% discount (折扣) if they don’t check their phones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said he hopes it gives people a way to enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.

1.Many people can’t remember their parents’s phone numbers because _______.

How do you talk with people when meeting them if you want to leave a good impression? Here a some tips for you/

Tip 1

You have to show up, which can be a challenge for many of us. You can show up as an observer（旁觀者）of other interesting people and let that be a learning experience for you. Before you start talking, it’s important to just listen, even if you think you are a wise storyteller. If you are close to a group of people who are discussing a topic, watch their body language and see if they will let you join in their conversation.

Tip 2

You’d better go in the conversation with a couple of topics to keep it going, or questions to ask if there is a short stop. Simple things like “How do you know the host?” and “How did you get here?” are always good conversation starters to a certain extent（在一定程度上）.

Tip 3

Don’t fear silences. Awkward（令人尷尬的）silences are common part of talking with people, just rush to fill them. If you don’t want to go on with the conversation, just say you are going to get another drink or something to eat, and find another group to talk with.

Tip 4

Relax. If you cannot keep a conversation going, or you don’t know what you should say next, give yourself a little time to clear your head. Relax, and then turn back into the discussion.

閱讀以上信息，用恰當(dāng)?shù)脑~完成下面的短文，每空一詞。

I have been very lucky to make many trips to China. Though I have had some trouble with the language, I have never had a problem I couldn’t solve. As a native English speaker（土生土長的說英語的人），I can go almost everywhere in the world and find someone to communicate with. I never thought that someone who speaks only Chinese would have a lot of trouble in my country.

Recently, the King family that I had met in China moved to Canada. I met them at the airport. My wife and I made meals for them and showed them around where we live. Everything seemed to go smoothly for the first two days as we looked for a car for them, showed them the way to different stores and the nearest city, Victoria. Mr. and Mrs King had a two-year-old son and soon we became Nainai (grandmother) and Yeye (grandfather). We were having a good time but we didn’t realize Mr. King can’t speak English.

Luckily, Mrs. King can speak very good English. Many people with Chinese background live near us. In fact, none of them speak Chinese. Mr. King can’t even buy a mobile phone without his wife’s help. He can’t talk to me, of course. By the third day, he felt lonely and worried. And on the fourth day, we decided to take them to a large Chinese community.

Now, we often visit them and they visit us too. Sometimes Mrs. King would still like to live near us but Mr. King cannot. I feel bad because he seems very nice and smart but I can’t talk with him. It seems that neither of us will learn the other’s language because of our ages, maybe we will never have a friendly conversation. But we will think of each other as friends.

1.The writer doesn’t have any trouble in travelling around the world possibly because _______.

A. he’s very lucky

4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A. How the King family came to Canada.

B. How old Mr. and Mrs. King’s son was.

C. Why the King family moved to Canada.

D. Why the writer feels bad when he is with Mr. King.

5.What can we infer（推斷）from the passage?

A. Mr. King is not clever at all.

B. The writer has never been to China before.

C. Both the writer and Mr. King are quite young.

D. The two families live a little far away from each other now.
