I am Tara Subra. I love my smartphone. But everywhere you look, people are glued to their screens. And we are all missing out on chances to notice and enjoy the world around us.

This smartphone addiction(成癮) is seriously affecting our ability to focus. I can’t even watch a movie without checking my phone, which means nothing ever receives my full attention. That’s scary, especially in a school. I’m afraid it changes my work and how well I learn.

My name is Alex Hager. Smarphones encourage us to think more and give us a lot of information. Say you’re with your friends and they are discussing a certain event you know nothing about. You can use your phone to learn about it, and then share that conversation.

Smarphones are also a way to find people who have the same interests and goals. For example, I love making YouTube videos, but nobody at my school does. So my phone allows me to connect with other YouTubes and learn from them.

That’s why I want you to pick up your phone, search for a person who’s talking about something you love, and start a conversation. Your world will get bigger-straight from your palm(手掌) of your hand.

1.Why can’t Tara Subra watch a movie without checking her phone?

A. Because she doesn’t watch movies.

B. Because she has smartphone addiction.

C. Because she likes appreciating the world around us.

D. Because she is afraid of ding homework.

2.What does Subra mainly tell us?

A. She loves her smartphone very much.

B. Smartphone addiction affects the ability to focus.

C. She watches a movie without full attention.

D. Smartphone addiction affects her homework.

3.Which of the following is NOT Alex Hager’s idea?

A. Smartphone help us get lots of information.

B. Smarphones help find people with the same interests and goals.

C. Smarphones affect the quality of people’s work.

D. Smarphones can make our world get bigger.

4.What can we know from the passage?

A. Maybe different people have different ideas.

B. Students can’t use smarphones in the school.

C. People can’t use smarphones when watching a movie.

D. Tara Subra loves making YouTube videos.

From a plane we can see the fields, cities, mountains or seas below. If we go into space, we see more and more of the earth. People and man-made satellites(衛(wèi)星) have been sent out into space to look at the earth carefully and people have learnt more about the earth in the last few years. The sea looks very beautiful when the sun is shining on it. But it can be very terrible when there is a strong wind. The sea is very big. It nearly covers three quarters of the earth. The sea is also very deep in some places. There is one place and at that place the sea is about 11 kilometers deep. The highest mountain in the world is about 9 kilometers high. If we put that mountain into the sea at that place, there would be still 2 kilometers of water above it!

In most parts of the sea, there are many kinds of fishes and plants. Some live near the top of the sea. Others live deep down. There are also a lot of small living things, and lots of fishes live by eating them. The sea can be very cold. When people go down, the sea becomes colder and colder. Only some men can go down into the deep sea. But in 1970, five women scientists lived in the deep sea for fourteen days.
