In 2012, an iPhone fell into my hands. This smart technology seemed like the entrance to only fun and positive things like chatting with friends and blogging.
However, seven years later, I had become horribly limited to it. Recent reports show that I’m not alone. According to a study, the average American spends five hours a day on smart devices(装置)and about 2.5 of those hours are spent on social, messaging, media and entertainment apps.
It’s hard to explain when the love and joy I felt for my iPhone turned into dependency. I fell asleep to my phone every night and woke to it each morning. I checked the weather app every morning before I chose how to dress for the day. I used it to help me find my way through a city I should know well enough on my own. I updated my e-mail box every time I picked my phone up.
Just like with any addiction, my phone dependency began to influence my life. While spending time with family, I’d stare into a small screen on my lap instead of being involved in communicating with my loved ones. At work, my productivity levels dropped. And then, my four-year relationship came to an end. Eventually, I was left with years of memories and a mobile phone that couldn’t provide enjoyable company across a dinner table, share in the joys of experiencing a concert or kiss me goodnight before bed.
Now, I move through life with more purpose and intention. I’ve cut back on carelessly giving away my limited time and attention to my phone. Instead, I focus my efforts on being as present as possible. Truly training the mind to stay present is a long and challenging road, but it’s important to start somewhere.
I hope you’ll take a deep look at your own phone habits and reevaluate how important a role you are letting it play in your life. Whether or not you’ve reached a place in your life where your screen time feels problematic, there’s no harm in mindfully giving your current practices some thought.

At present, researchers from the US space agency NASA are trying to find out what kind of plants could grow in the red soil on Mars (火星). They hope that astronauts will be able to start growing their own food on the red planet. The journey to Mars could take up to two-and-a-half years. The astronauts will need to take a lot of food with them just to last for the journey. They will never be able to return to Earth, which means they will need to grow their own fruits, vegetables and other plants from seeds. NASA said there could be a problem because Mars doesn’t have soil that is good for growing things, which just has red dust.
Humans may be on their way to Mars in the next 15 years. NASA has been testing special “Martian gardens” to see what kind of things might grow on Mars. They have used a special soil made of crushed volcanic rock because it contains no nutrients or organic materials, which is similar to the soil on Mars. The scientists managed to grow lettuce (莴苣) in it. They said the lettuce tasted normal, but it had weaker roots and took longer to grow. They will now try growing other vegetables. A NASA spokesman said, “Discoveries made in these Earth-based ‘Martian gardens’ will pave the way for the future studies and technology development in terms of reliable, efficient food production a long way from Earth.”
In 2015, NASA astronauts on the International Space Station ate space-grown lettuce for the first time. The lettuce took 33 days to grow on the space station and was part of NASA efforts to provide the future astronauts with a sustainable food supplement during the long space voyage.
( )8.It is more difficult to grow plants on Mars because .
A.there is no sunlight
B.there is no fresh air
C.there is no fresh water
D.there is no suitable soil
