Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.
A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. Interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men.
Fortunately, there’s a solution.
The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you can’t conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe.
Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That’s another sign of a problem. If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem.
Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone.
Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To find it, he can just go to a Web site and see the phone’s location.
He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company’s description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. You’ll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”
【小題1】Why does the author mention Kelly’s experience in the first paragraph?

A．To inform us that mobile phones are useful.
B．To introduce the topic for discussion.
C．To tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.
D．To warn us that we should be careful.
【小題2】The underlined word “nomophobia” in Paragraph 2 means ________.
A．Fear of losing mobile phones.
B．Habits of using mobile phones
C．Independence of mobile phones.
D．Eagerness for new mobile phones.
【小題3】Which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?
A．Learning more about modern technology.
B．Avoiding using phone for some time
C．Not using a mobile phone in one’s daily work.
D．Protecting one’s phone against any damage.
【小題4】Why can the service called Asurion help to treat nomophobia?
A．It will give you a new phone through insurance.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：廣東省2010屆高三第三次模擬考試英語(yǔ)試題 題型：閱讀理解

 

    So I’m driving the lovely and patient older daughter to work. At 7 a. m., she pushes the seat

warmer button as her new Honda zooms across L. A., the City of Padded Shoulders.

"Oh, look, I’m low on gas," she says.

First, we pick up her boss, then we pick up her other boss. They are all headed to Staples Center for some awards show. My daughter does something in public relations, I’m not sure what. But when this show comes along, she gets very busy.

"In the past two nights I’ve gotten, like, seven hours sleep," she notes, the implication being that I sleep all the time, which is pretty much true.

In Los Feliz, a dashboard light confirms that we are, indeed, low on fuel. This does not perturb my daughter.

"Don’t worry, we’ll get there," she says.

My daughter says nothing about getting back home, which is my job. I’ve just agreed to drop her off, so she can avoid traffic later. My task is simple, though now full of uncertainty.

I don’t know how I ended up dropping my daughter and her bosses off at 7 a.m. on a Sunday. I just know that J.D. Salinger may now be dead, but I still feel like Holden Caulfield -- at the mercy of too many yammering adults.

Now, I’ve had mixed luck with adults.

Apparently, my daughter’s job in PR is to keep everyone happy while telling the truth as much as possible. I sent her to college to study that. Now she is an expert.

"After you drop us off, you can get gas," my daughter assures me.

I have been her chauffeur for 26 years. By the time she was 3, I’d snapped her into a car seat some 14,000 times. I took her to seventh-grade dances, ski trips, college.

Even after all that, we continue to have a civil relationship, sort of a queen-mum-and-her-

driver sort of dynamic. When I screw up, she just raises her pretty chin and snorts. It’s very British.

By the way, my daughter now has a nicer car than I do, which is a sign she is doing well. Or, as with so many young people, she is up to her hoop earrings in consumer debt.

1．Which of the following statements in NOT true about the author’s daughter?

         A．She is fashionable.     B．She always tells the truth.

         C．She is doing well in her work.    D．She lives a fast-paced life.

2．The author’s tone suggests that_________.

         A．he is feeling left behind when his daughter has grown up and begun adult life

         B．he is content with his grown daughter

         C．he does not like his daughter’s bosses

         D．he will not believe his daughter any more

3．It can be concluded from the passage that_________.

         A．the author won’t have any difficulty in getting gas

         B．the daughter cares for her father a lot

         C．the author has done a lot to help his daughter get where she is 

         D．the British people have pretty chin and snort often

4．By referring to J. D. Salinger and Holden Caulfield, the author is most probably_________.

         A．recalling his daughter’s childhood

         B．mentioning his family members who are now dead

         C．comparing his situation to a scene in a famous literary work

         D．telling a story about his daughter’s friends

5．What is the best title for this passage?

         A．A PR’s Busy Life

         B．Relationship Between Dad and Daughter

         C．A Loving Father

         D．Go Ahead and Fill Her up, Dad
