Feeling Phone-overwhelmed?
Many people are feeling “phone-overwhelmed”, longing for a “simpler time” when smart -phones didn’t exist. Actually you don’t necessarily need to flush your brand-new iPhone down the toilet or vow to never, ever tweet again. Things don’t have to be that black or white.1.Here are a few simple steps.
Make a plan. To earn a college degree, you select specific classes happening at specific times and you attend them. This keeps you on track, moving steadily towards your goal.2. Choose specific times to check texts, social media updates, and so on, and then do your best to stick to the plan. Create phone-routines that help you to create the kind of day (and life) that you want.
Enjoy the sound of silence to the fullest. If your phone is continually bleeping and pinging every time “something happens,” it’s going to be tough for you to stay focused- you’ll be tempted to check in and see what's up! It may seem obvious to turn off those noisy notifications.3. You can also create a “call filter” so that certain people's calls come through even if your phone is on “silent. ” That way you can rest easy, knowing you won't miss something truly urgent.
4.. For many couples and families, dinnertime is the only time of the day when everyone is gathered together in one place Make dinner a special, sacred time without techie distractions. No phones at the table. If people get restless or bored, strike up an interesting conversation by playing a question game.
Ask yourself, What am I desiring right now? “When you feel the urge to check your phone, and you don’t really “need” to, pause for moment.5.Do you seek out company, entertainment or inspiration? Whatever you want, see if you can find a non-phone-related way to satisfy yourself Go for a jog, listen to music or pop by a friend’s house to say "hi "Feeding your spirit in the “real world”, you may discover that the “phone world” just isn't that appealing anymore.
A. Take some phone- free time
B Make dinnertime a phone-free zone
C. Check in with yourself and see what you want.
D. See how it feels to move freely without your phone.
E. You can apply that same logic to your smartphone usage
F. You can take specific steps to create healthier, more balanced relations of technology
G Better yet, turn the volume on your phone down to zero or power down your phone complete
Imagine being a business that regularly takes huge quantities of your own products worth millions of pounds and burns them up. Your stock literally goes up in smoke. It sounds crazy, but the practice is common for some of the world's biggest clothing manufacturers .They argue that it is the most cost-effective way of maintaining their brand's exclusivity （独特性）.
The clothes that are burned are those that do not sell at a high enough price. Rather than watch them go on sale, the companies would set fire to them and regain a small amount of energy.
Nobody knows exactly how much unsold stock is burnt annually by those fashion houses, but burning clothes has various negative impacts on the environment. For example, burning clothes made from artificial fibers may release plastic microfibers into the atmosphere, which worsens global warming. A U.K. parliamentary committee report on sustainability and the fashion industry advises the government to ban the burning of unsold stock if it can be reused or recycled.
Actually, there are other approaches. What if those companies had a section tasked with taking back unsold clothes, redesigning them into new products, and shipping out the new products to the market once again?
There is also now an opportunity to focus on biodegradable （可生物降解的）fabrics. Clothes that break down faster might not have to be burned. They would also appeal to those who care about the environmental impact of their own wardrobes.
Additionally, we have an over-production problem. According to the World Bank, while clothing sales have risen steadily since 2000, clothing utilization has fallen at roughly the same rate. For every extra T-shirt that is sold, it will be worn roughly half as much as it would have been 20 years ago. That means better forecasting market trends would in theory result in less waste.
Burning clothes won't happen simply through fashion firms. The scale of fashion production has to change. And it's important to recognize that these consumer-focused brands will only go where the market takes them. If protecting the environment really matters to the public, they have to make clear that they want more sustainable clothing in the first place. Without consumers demanding that, it won't change.
1.Paragraph 3 mainly talks about .
A. how important the U.K. parliamentary committee report is
B. why fashion firms should end burning unsold stock
C. why fashion firms burn unsold clothes in large numbers every year
D. how artificial fabrics will contribute to global warming
2.The underlined expression "clothing utilization" in the 6th paragraph means .
A. how long clothing lasts B. how well clothing sells
C. how often clothing is used D. how clothing is designed
3.All the following possible solutions are mentioned in the passage to deal with unsold clothes except
A. Making consumers feel better about their purchases.
B. Redesigning and making them into new clothes.
C. Conducting research on market demand before production.
D. Making clothes out of environmentally-friendly materials.
4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Burning clothes is a better option for every fashion firm.
B. Consumers play a key role in stopping burning clothes.
C. The secret that some fashion firms burn clothes is well kept.
D. Today's clothes are better than those two decades ago.
Limited to a narrow seat for hours with just a tiny bag of cookies and orange juice to comfort yourself, the last thing you feel like doing when you get off a plane is to wait around for your bags. The easy option when traveling has been to limit yourself to a carry-on suitcase and pray it fits in the overhead bin. Not only does it get you out of the airport faster but it's also free. Not any longer. however.
Recently, some airlines are starting to charge for carry-on bags, and travelers aren't at all happy about it Packing light might not be an option anymore when looking for tips to get the best airfare possible
Some smaller airlines such as Frontier and Spirit have always charged customers for carry-on bags, but now bigger name airlines, such as United, are starting to do it too. When you purchase a Basic Economy ticket through United you’re not allowed a full-size carry-on bag unless you’re a MileagePlus Premier member. Should you forget to check your bag before security and bring it all the way to the gate, not only will you pay the checked-bag fee, but you’ll have to pay an additional $25 gate handling charge. Not the best way to start off a trip. Don’t miss these additional things airlines don't want to tell you —but every flier should be aware of.
You might assume that the new carry-on bag guidelines are due to space limitations in the overhead bins, but it has more to do with on-time rates, Aviation economies expert and senior vice president of ICF Aviation Samuel Engel told Vox that the biggest bottleneck when it comes to boarding is carry-on luggage. For every minute a plane isn’t in the air, it's losing money. A delayed departure makes the flight crew look bad and passengers very angry.
So, the next time you fly, plan to check your bag before security, pay a bit more for your ticket so you are allowed a carry-on, or try rolling a week s worth of clothes into a backpack, a still-allowed “personal item.”
1.What does the first paragraph intend to convey?
A. People feel comfortable when they are taking a flight
B. People are unwilling to wait for their bags after getting off the plane
C. People tend to choose the carry-on suitcases for convenience.
D. People will no longer have the option for free carry-on suitcases
2.Which of the following is NOT the reason why more airlines begin to charge for carry-ons?
A. Space limitations. B. Passengers support
C. On-time rates D. Increasing budget.
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Carry-on bags are affecting on-time rates
B. What should you do before taking a flight?
C. Carry-on bags are increasing budget-busting delays
D. More Airlines are starting to charge for carry-on bags
