You know the feeling — you have left your phone at home and feel anxious, as if you have lost your
connection to the world. “Nomophobia” (无手机恐惧症) affects teenagers and adults alike. You can even do an
online test to see if you have it. Last week, researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting
everyone. Their study found that people who use their phones to store, share and access personal memories suffer
most. When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones, words such as “hurt” (neck pain was
often reported) and “alone” predicted higher levels of nomophobia.
“The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to
the devices,” said Dr. Kim Ki Joon. “People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from
their phones.” Meanwhile, an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate
and blood pressure.
So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety? Professor Mark Griffiths, psychologist
and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University, says it is what is on the
phone that counts — the social networking that creates Fomo (fear of missing out)．
“We are talking about an Internet connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives, ” says Griffiths. “You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained
in this device.”
Griffiths thinks attachment theory where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds
details of our lives, is a small part of nomophobia. For “screenagers”, it is Fomo that creates the most separation
anxiety. If they can’t see what’s happening on Snapchat or Instagram, they become panic-stricken about not
knowing what’s going on socially. “But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there’s no
Internet,” says Griffiths.
4. Which of the following may Dr. Kim Ki Joon agree with?
A. Phones have become part of some users.
B. We waste too much time on phones.
C. Addiction to phones makes memories suffer.
D. Phones and blood pressure are closely linked.
5. According to Griffiths we get nomophobia because ________.
A. we are accustomed to having a phone on us
B. we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing
C. we need our phones to help us store information
D. we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble
6. Which of the following phrases has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase “ingrained in” in Para4?
A. approved of. B. opposed to. C. relied on. D. determined by.
7. Where can you probably find the above passage?
A. In a research report. B. In a popular science magazine.
C. In a science textbook. D. In a fashion brochure.
C
Mike Maietta was eating lunch when he got a text message from his mom.
“Notre Dame,” it said. “Big envelope!”
Mike, a senior at a Californian high school, shouted with joy. The big envelope meant that the excellent
university in Indiana had offered him a place in its Class of 2013. But the $51,300 annual fee is a big obstacle. So
Mike and his parents are considering offers from several other colleges and are calculating the costs of tuition,
housing and holiday trips home.
This year, money is the driving factor for a growing number of high school seniors, who have to decide what
colleges to attend this fall. Less jobs and plunging house prices have changed family spending.
“We’re excited that Mike got into eight great schools,” said Mike’s father, an engineer at Microsoft. “But if
you consider going to school out of state, you’ve got to think about all of the other costs: moving, flying back and
forth for the holidays. You’re looking at about $3,000 a year, just for travel.”
As families weigh their choices, some are going back to financial aid offices hoping help packages can be
increased.
Rachel Brown was happy to get a thick envelope from New York University (NYU). Although she has always
wanted to live in Manhattan, she is seriously considering the University of California San Diego (UCSD), because
of the high cost in New York.
“The tuition for NYU is twice as much as UCSD,” said Rachel, 17. “My mom doesn’t want me to have a big
debt when I graduate, and I don’t want that either. I’d have to take out a loan of $15,000. I’ll check and see if there’s
any way that NYU can offer me any financial aid.”
More than 7.6 million American students have filled out the Free Application for Students Aid, a 19.9 percent
increase over last year.
This month the Federal Department of Education urged college financial aid officers to give more help to
certain families. A record 30,428 students applied for 2,300 places at Stanford, partly because the university
increased financial aid for families earning below $10,000.
8. Mike may give up Notre Dame because of ______.
A. travel fees B. financial concerns C. poor exam results D. worries about living far away from home
9. The phrase “Big envelope” in paragraph 2 probably refers to “______”.
A. A text message B. A large gift package C. An admission letter D. A scholarship letter
10. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The number of American senior students applying for financial aid is increasing.
B. Rachel Brown has given up NYU because of its high tuition and big debts.
C. It is inevitably hard for college students to borrow money to cover costs.
D. An interest-free loan for students helps more students apply for Stanford.
11. The passage mainly focuses on ______.
A. the calculation of different costs including tuitionB. the extremely hard financial situation in America
C. the excitement of students’ being able to enter ideal colleges
D. the financial crisis of families over college entrance
D
I’ve never been the kind of person to say, “it’s the thought that counts” when it comes to gifts. That was until
a couple of weeks ago, when my kids gave me a present that blew me away.
For years now, I’ve been wanting to sell our home, the place where my husband and I raised our kids. But to
me, this house is much more than just a building. In the front room, there’s a wall that has hundreds of pencil
lines, marking the progress of my children’s growth. Every growth stage is marked in grey, with each child’s
name and the date they were measured. Most people I know have been featured on a wall like this, or at least had
a wall like it in their home.
Of all the objects and all the memories, it’s this one thing in a home that’s the hardest to leave behind.
Friends I know have returned home after work only to discover their wall of heights has been freshly painted over.
A new paint job wouldn’t normally be greeted by tears, but erasing that evidence of motherhood hurts more than it
should. Our kids grow in so many ways, but the wall is physical evidence of their progress, right there for
everyone to see.
Over the years, I’ve talked about how much I would hate leaving that wall behind when I moved, even
though the last marks were made 10 years ago when my kids stopped growing. So one day, while I was at work,
my children decided to do something about it.
They hired Jacquie Manning, a professional photographer whose work is about capturing (捕捉) the beautiful
things in life, from clear lakes and skies to diamonds and ballgowns. She came to our house while I was at work,
and over several hours, took photos of the hundreds of drawings and lines, little grey fingerprints (手印), and old
marks. Somehow, she managed to photograph all those years of memories perfectly. Afterwards, she put all the
photos together into one image, transforming them into a beautiful history of my family.
Three weeks later, my children’s wonderful gift made its way to me – a life-size photo of the pencil lines and
fingerprints that represents entire lifetimes of love and growth.
12. The author used her friends’ example in Paragraph 3 to ________.
A. persuade her family to leave the wall as it was B. stress the meaning of keeping good memories
C. explain why her house badly needed a new paint job D. share her memory of motherhood with readers
13. According to the article, it was Jacquie Manning who ________.
A. helped the author paint her new house B. came up with the idea of the photo gift
C. shot pictures to record the author’s growth stage D. made a copy of the growth marks on the wall
14. We can infer from the article that the author ________.
A. was strongly against selling their home B. was not happy with the gift from her family
C. kept marks for family members every year D. put great love and care in raising her children
15. What is the best title for the text?
A. A Gift Made with Love B. Advice on Picking up Gifts for Parents
C. Paintings Count D. Effective Ways to Communicate with Children

Things only people who have worked overseas can understand
If you have ever worked or lived overseas, I’m pretty sure you can understand the following things!

time and has a number of factors that play into a person’s level of fluency.

and then you can look through all your greetings on social media.___18___ You may throw a small party with
some of your new friends, but it’s going to be nothing compared with the good old feasts you used to have with your
