Jo: 15 years old, Amy’s sister, whose ambition is to be a great writer

Amy: 11 years old, Jo’s little sister, who had burned Jo’s manuscripts(手稿) on purpose

Laurie: 15 years old, a boy next door, the sisters’ friend

“There! Jo is a bad sister. She promised I should go skating this time, for this is the last ice  we shall have.” Amy complained.

“Don’t say that. You were very naughty, and it is hard for Jo to forgive you for deliberately burning her precious little book. Don’t say anything till she’s cheered up. Go and be a nice girl.” “I’ll try,” said Amy and after a hurry to get ready, she ran after Jo and Laurie.

Jo saw Amy coming along, but she turned her back. She heard Amy had some trouble putting her skates(溜冰鞋) on, but she ignored her and went slowly down the river, taking a bitter, unhappy sort of satisfaction in her little sister’s troubles. Jo allowed her anger to grow strong and take possession of her.

Laurie did not see Amy, for he was carefully skating along the shore, examining the ice with his hockey stick(曲棍球球棍). As He turned the bend(转弯处), he shouted back... “Keep near the shore(河岸). It isn’t safe in the middle.” Jo heard, but Amy was struggling to her feet and did not catch a word.

“No matter whether she heard or not, let her take care of herself.” Jo murmured. Laurie had disappeared round the bend, Jo was just at the turn, and Amy, far behind, striking out toward the smoother(光滑的) ice in the middle of the river.

    Though technology has considerable wonderful benefits, it is becoming increasingly obvious that our addiction to technology and overall cell phone addiction is becoming too common. However powerful it is, it does have a power-off button.1.

● Powering-down prevents the fear of missing out.

Scientifically speaking, the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) has been recognized as a recently rising psychological  disorder brought on by the huge increase in technology addiction. The premise(假定) is simple.2.Within  this constant stream of information, our fear of being left out continues to grow. Turning off social media and learning how to live in the moment are both important skills in this modern world.

● Powering-down promotes creation over consumption.

Essentially, most of our time is spent in one of the two categories: consuming or creating. Certainly, technology can contribute to creating. For example, this article was written (created) on a computer. But most of the time we spend in front of technology is spent consuming (playing video games, browsing the Internet, watching movies, listening to music).3. It needs more creating. It needs your passion, your solution, and your unique contribution.

Power down and begin contributing to a better world because of it.

●4.

If we power down for a while, we can learn something about ourselves. We will learn we are far more addicted to technology than we would have guessed. But that is the nature of addiction, isn’t it? We can never fully realize our level of addiction until the item is out of sight. The only way to truly discover technology’s controlling influence on our life is to turn it off, walk away, and sense how strong the pull is to turn it back on.

● Life, at its best, is happening right in front of you.

Our world may be changing, but the true nature of life is not. Life, at its best, is happening right in front of you.5.The conversations are natural and authentic. And the love is real. But if we are too busy staring down at our screen, we’re going to miss all of it.

A.It has a negative effect on our creativity.

B.Our world doesn’t need more consuming.

C.The experiences in life will never repeat themselves.

D.The following are some important reasons to unplug.

E.Our social media are filled with everything happening all around us.

F.Powering-down helps remove unhealthy feelings of envy and loneliness.

G.Technology addiction can only be understood when the object is taken away.
