五、任务型阅读。
阅读下面的短文,从方框中所给的A—F六个选项中选择正确的答案,填入第1—5题。选项中有一项是多余选项。
Cell phones are no longer tools just for communicating with someone.While a smartphone can be a valuable learning tool, the exposure(曝光) it gives you can be overwhelming(令人不知所措的) and at times, dangerous as well.Make sure that you follow these rules for proper usage of the device.
1.__B__
Often, dinner time is the only time that the family gets to spend together.Because of this, that mealtime should be regarded as family time.So there should be no phone use.
2.__C__
It's easy to lose time just by looking through Instagram and Facebook on the phone.Before you know it, it's time to go to bed while homework sits, unfinished, on the table.So you should stay away from your cell phone while doing your homework.
3.__A__
Taking pictures and videos are a part of having a phone.But you need to know about taking the right kind of pictures.This means that you must be careful about taking photos of yourself, your family, and friends.You also need to keep other people's privacy in mind while taking photos.
4.__F__
You must learn to keep your number private and not give it to strangers (this should become part of a wider understanding of social safety and the importance of protecting all of your personal data).
5.__D__
You should not text while walking or make a call while crossing the street—it can be dangerous.It's easy for you to become “smartphone zombies” and cause a traffic accident, putting yourselves and others at risk.

B.No phones during family meals.
C.No phones during homework time.
D.Don't use your cell phone in dangerous places.
