阅读理解 同题异文　群文阅读 Improving yourself Unit2 A (节选自译林版必修第三册Unit 3) Smartphone：a smart choice? I was a smartphone addict.My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever I walked down the street，had dinner with friends or lay in bed at night.The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was reach for my phone.I always asked for Wi-Fi connections when I went to a new restaurant or coffee shop.A dead battery in my smartphone would make me feel stressed.Sometimes I had the uncomfortable feeling that this little machine had taken up too much of my time，and that I could have done something more meaningful than just looking at a tiny screen all day.Sliding into the habit was easy，but it was difficult to quit the habit. Then the day came when I finally realized I had to make a change.Head down，eyes on my smartphone，I stepped into the road and a car shot past，nearly knocking me off my feet！At that very moment，I made up my mind to spend a whole week without my smartphone. The first day was the hardest.I was used to checking the news and my friends’ social media updates every few minutes，but now I did not know what to do with myself.I kept reaching for my pocket，for my smartphone that was not there.I felt lost and anxious，as if I had missed something of value.Very soon，time slowed down.The empty hours stretched out in front of me，and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything. It was scary at first.Then somehow I began to feel free.The things that I had time for！I finally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language.I kept a journal of my feelings，thoughts and daily activities to see how much progress I was making.I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days.The details of the scene were revealed in front of me：the soft sunlight，a bird singing from a high tree branch，the rich and earthy smell of the soil after the rain.Best of all，I began to appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes，instead of through my smartphone camera.——by Alan 1.What made Alan want to make a change?

Where am I? What am I doing? If you’re one of my 500 friends online，you’ll always be the first to know.My phone and laptop are never out of touching distance，so I’m constantly posting updates on social media—whether I’m having a coffee，on my way to school，watching TV...even when I’m in the shower.As soon as I open my eyes in the morning，I check through all my social networking apps，read my emails and answer text messages.I do the same thing all over again while I’m having breakfast. I live in a university dorm with a couple of great roommates.I have a never-ending flow of messages and updates from all the people I associate with online.Yet the truth of the matter is：I feel lonely. I’m barely the only person who feels this way.According to research，over two-thirds of young people find it easier to make friends online than it is “in real life”.I’m way beyond a shy or reserved person，but I’m wired up every day，like most of my friends.On the surface，I have an active social life.I attend parties and play sports but I’m always distracted.They say that phones bring people closer together but in reality，my mind is always a million miles away.I obsess over exactly how many followers I have on my account，but I can’t remember the birthdays of some of my oldest mates. Social networking dominates my life in so many ways.Sometimes I set deadlines for myself：I will start doing my homework at 8 pm，and aim to finish in two hours.At 7.50 pm，I’m still scrolling through my friends’ silly posts and photos.Before I know it，it’s 9.30 pm and I still haven’t moved an inch from the sofa.I download song after song，video after video，but I’m not really paying attention.The stimulation is in chasing after the next song rather than truly enjoying it.My friends try to drag me away from my phone，but as soon as I’m alone again，I’m desperate to get back to the online world and the intense activity that it provides. I constantly feel depressed，dissatisfied and alone.Since I spend so much time socialising online，I keep delaying things that are important in my real life：homework，tasks，connecting with my friends and family members in a meaningful way.It’s funny that my friends and I chatter away online so much，but we end up having nothing to say when we meet. A few days ago，I went out for a dinner get-together with some friends.My best friend left the table for 30 minutes because he had to take a call.Some spent the dinner bending over their phones，texting friends online but ignoring the ones who sat right in front of them.And the extraordinary thing is nobody thought this was rude；it’s just how life is nowadays.On a family holiday last summer，my sister spent all her time complaining that she needed to charge her phone.When it was charged，she just spent hours reading about her favourite popstar；not once did she lift her head to enjoy the view outside her window. What is really worrying is that no one I know，including myself，could go cold turkey.I can’t even imagine going without social networking for a week—think of all the important appointments，invitations and news updates you would miss！Alcoholics who want to quit drinking can avoid booze，but how do we give up our phones? After all，I need it for my studies because my teachers and classmates need to contact me at any time. So，that’s the problem with social networking.We’re hard-wired in，but we’re more disconnected than ever. 1.When does the author live without checking through his social networking apps? A.In a shower. B.On the way to school. C.Having a coffee. D.Having a sound sleep. √ 2.What can we know about the author? A.He has lots of friends online. B.He is a reserved person. C.He never attends parties. D.He never feels lonely. √ 3.What does the author spend most of his spare time doing? A.Doing homework. B.Playing sports. C.Going online. D.Watching TV. √ 4.What is polite when having a get-together dinner according to the author? A.Taking a call too long. B.Bending over phones. C.Having a face-to-face talk. D.Looking out of the window. √ 词汇积累 1.barely adv.几乎不 2.obsess vt.使迷恋 3.dominate v.支配，控制，主宰 4.scroll n.纸卷，卷轴 vi.上下滚动 5.desperate adj.拼命的；绝望的 6.depressed adj.沮丧的；忧愁的 7.go cold turkey彻底放弃 8.alcoholic n.酗酒者 9.booze n.酒精饮料 vi.喝酒 C (选自北师大版选择性必修第一册UNIT 2) For a lot of people，becoming a millionaire is a symbol of success and they set this as their ultimate goal.They spend half of their time dreaming up ways of getting rich and achieving the success they expect，and the rest of their time thinking about all the things they will do once they become rich.But do all millionaires get the sense of success they were looking for after they achieve their goals? Some continue to worry about money when they become millionaires—they worked hard to become wealthy，but then they need to continue making money so they don’t lose the sense of success they have achieved.However，there are people who have turned their backs on their millions and found other forms of success in their lives.Jason Harley is one example. Sixteen years ago，Jason was a college professor with a huge six-bedroom house and a fortune of two million dollars.Today he lives in a small dormitory room with only second-hand furniture.There are certainly no signs that Jason is a rich and successful man! There is a small garden outside with a few fruit trees，which Jason enjoys taking care of.He also grows some vegetables and a few flowers.He gets his clothes and a lot of other things from charity shops. But Jason appreciates this change.He is pleased to give up the lifestyle of a rich man.He was tired of being regarded as living a successful life，as a person who had everything while many people had nothing.He made the choice to give all his money away.And this，he said，brought him happiness and a sense of success in life. “I don’t need a lot of money.I don’t want to buy more things.I have enough，” said Jason.“What I want is to live simply and be helpful to others.A few years ago，I was a millionaire，but I knew millions of people died of hunger every year，and there were places with no schools and no teachers.So many people could never go to school.They didn’t have the chance to learn and get on in life.This worried me a lot and I felt very guilty being a rich man without doing anything.” Therefore he gave away all his money to charities.Whenever he had more than two thousand dollars，he would give away small bank notes to homeless people in the streets of local areas.“It was a kind of satisfaction and a real sense of success that I had never felt before，” said Jason.“Sure，many people think that ‘success’ means having millions in the bank or a well-paid job.But I think my sense of achievement comes from helping others and finding true meaning in life.” Most people believe when they are living comfortably and earning enough money，they will have no worries.However，most people never feel they have earned enough.Jason Harley decided to drop out of this kind of lifestyle，and he discovered that having only a little money made him free.Are there any things he misses from his past? “No，I’m much happier now，because I am living according to my values.Success is not measured by how much money you have but by how you understand the true meaning of life.” 1.What should you do to keep the sense of achieved success? A.Dream up ways of getting rich. B.Become a millionaire quickly. C.Find other forms of success. D.Work hard constantly. √ 2.What does Jason like to do in his spare time at present? A.Work in a small garden. B.Give classes in a college. C.Get things from charity shops. D.Give away things to the homeless. √ 3.Why did Jason decide to live simply? A.Because he had nothing but money. B.Because he felt guilty to be a poor man. C.Because there were so many poor people. D.Because money gave him anything but happiness. √ 4.What can we infer about the attitude of most people? A.They can’t live a free life without enough money. B.They can avoid all the worries with enough money. C.The true meaning of life had nothing to do with money. D.The true meaning of life comes from the ability to earn money. √ 词汇积累 1.millionaire n.百万富翁 2.dormitory n.寝室 3.get on 获得成功，事业有成 4.guilty adj.内疚的，羞愧的 本课结束 $
