Have you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street? Perhaps they were busy talking, texting or checking updates on WeChat without looking at what was going on around them. As the number of this new “species” of human has kept rising, they have been given a new name — phubbers（低头族）.
Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.
32. For what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in Paragragh2?
A. To inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.
B. To advertise the cartoon made by students.
C. To indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.
D. To warn doctors against using cell phones while treating patients.
33. Which of the following is NOT a risk a phubber may have?
A. His social skills could be affected.
B. His neck and eyesight will be gradually harmed.
C. He will cause the destruction of the world.
D. He might get separated from his friends and family.
34. Which of the following may be the author’s attitude towards phubbing?
A. Supportive. B. Opposed. C. Optimistic. D. Objective.
35. What may the passage talk about next?
A. Advice on how to use a cell phone.
B. People addicted to phubbing.
C. Measures to reduce the risks of phubbing.
D. Consequences of phubbing.

Do you know what makes people successful? To find out the answers, an American reporter recently visited some of the most successful people around the world. 36 .
Be responsible for yourself
Sometimes you may want to blame others for your failure to get ahead. In fact, when you say someone or something outside of yourself is stopping you from making success, you're giving away your own power. 37 .
Write a plan.
It’s very difficult to try to get what you want without a good plan. It’s just like trying to drive through strange roads to a city far away. 38 . Without this “map”, you may waste your time, money and also your energy; while with the “map”, you will enjoy the “trip” and get what you want in the shortest possible time.
39 .

Never give up.
40 When you are doing something, you must tell yourself again and again: Giving up is worse than failure because failure can be the mother of success, but giving up means the death of hope.
A. A good plan is like a map to you.
B. It seems to us that everyone knows this, but it is easier said than done.

D. You're saying, "You have more control over my life than I do."

参考范文
Dear Mr and Mrs Johnson，
I am Wu Gang. I have been back home in China. I am too eager to write a letter to you and your family the moment my feet hit the land of China. In the past four years，you have treated me like your own child，caring about my study and life. Whenever I was in trouble，you were always giving me a hand. Whenever I made progress，you were always sharing with me my joy. I am so grateful. Thank you very much.
Over the four years，I have been well aware of the differences of family education between the two countries. For example，in China，our parents tend to do everything for their children. In the USA，children are encouraged to develop working attitude and independent living ability.
Now I am making every effort to apply for a job. Welcome to China. If you come，I can act as a guide and you will enjoy yourselves.
Best wishes!
Yours Truly，
Wu Gang
