Free Wi-Fi has become incredibly important to us: Many stores and shopping malls offer it, restaurants use it to attract customers, and for libraries and coffee shops it is a must-have service.

Even when people are travelling, they search for free Wi-Fi, which, according to research released by London's Amba Hotel on 4 Dec, has become the most important standard (标准) for selecting a hotel.

According to the survey, as many as 67 percent of travellers questioned said that free Wi-Fi would make them more likely to choose accommodation, above other things such as the hotel's location and friendly staff. When rating (评估) a hotel that they'd already stayed in, six in ten travellers believed that unlimited Wi-Fi was the most important factor in their ratings.

"Today, people treat their smartphones, tablets and laptops like clothes when they are about to travel to some places. They will never forget to pack it into the suitcase," said the Daily Mail. "We rely on free Wi-Fi heavily when travelling—especially when it comes to checking social media, searching for travel tips, and visiting websites."

However, despite the opportunities that free Wi-Fi gives us, "our over-dependence on technology has come at a price, with travellers feeling unable to escape social media", said Lonely Planet, the world's largest travel guide brand.

Anita Isalska, Lonely Planet editor and tech addict, was forced to unplug when she was stuck in an isolated (偏僻的) camp in Greenland recently. "Adjusting to this slower pace, it began to dawn on me: somewhere, somehow. social media had changed into a reflex (条件反射)," she wrote. "I had believed I was capturing moments, but in reality my busy thumbs were preventing me from enjoying travel's most profound pleasures. How fully can you appreciate a huge glacier or grassland of wildflowers when your brain is subconsciously (潜意识地) selecting the right photo filter (滤镜), or the perfect six seconds to film?"

In September, the brand released 10 predictions for the future of global travel. One of them was that true escapes will be highly valued in future, so remote hotels will start to make their lack of Internet into a feature. Would you like to have an unplugged holiday?

 

1. Why is free Wi-Fi important for travellers to select a hotel?

   A. Hotels with free Wi-Fi likely provide better service.

   B. Hotels with free Wi-Fi usually have better locations.

   C. Using free Wi-Fi brings much unexpected pleasures.

   D. Free Wi-Fi provides convenience to use social media.

2. What does the underlined word "unplug" in Paragraph 6 mean?

   A. Check social media.

   B. Disconnect from digital devices.

3. What did Anita Isalska learn from the isolated camp?

   A. Travellers should keep a slower pace when checking social media.

   B. Travellers should take more photos and videos during their journeys.

   C. Addiction to social media has negatively affected the quality of travel.

   D. Beautiful scenery could be appreciated better if films are shot carefully.

4. What is the author's main purpose in writing this text?

   A. To argue against people's over-dependence on Wi-Fi.

   B. To stress the importance of free Wi-Fi in daily lives.

   C. To predict what global travel will be like in the future.

   D. To fight against travellers' standard for selecting a hotel.

The world is full of screens. They are on TVs, computers and smartphones. Screens are at school, at home, and just about everywhere in between. The time people spend every day looking at screens is known as "screen time". Most families have rules about how much time children can spend with screens. Why do they have rules? Are there good reasons to limit screen time?

In many ways, screens are helpful for communication and connecting with other people. Social media and video calls allow people to be always in touch with one another. Screen time can also help people build new relationships. By sharing and commenting on videos, photos, games or music, people can meet others who have similar interests.

However, some adults are worried that young people spend too much time on screens and not enough time meeting people in real life. As a result, they may not properly understand feelings or develop strong relationships.

Many kinds of screen time may be good for students. Students may use screen time to develop their skills in creating music or videos. They may even learn skills such as coding (编程) computer programmes. When students use their screen time to do research online, they may meet people who are different from them or ideas they have never thought about before.

However, some researchers think that screens change how the brain processes information. Some have linked screen time to lower test scores or less attention time.

In the future, scientists will continue studying the effects of screen time. Parents will likely continue to make rules limiting screen time. Plenty of good things can come from all this screen time, but it's a good idea for people to pay attention to how much time in a day they spend looking at a screen. They should know how screen time influences their health, relationships, and learning.

 

5. Which group of screen-time activities would "coding" belong to?

   A. Social media.

   B. Learning skills.

   C. Playing games.

   D. Researching online.

6. What's the author's opinion on screen time?

   A. It should be increased.
