Clearly,the handphone satisfies all our wants and needs, leaving us desiring more. According to a survey report by Connected Life,Singaporean youths spend an average of 3.4 hours a day on their phones. This may not seem like a big number to you, but think:what could you do in three hours? Cycling at the park with your family; reviewing your work.Phone addiction must come to a full stop today.How? One way to stop addiction is to download some apps to track the time you spend on your phone daily. You will find many mobile apps that help track the exact length of time you spend on your phone, telling you if you run over time.Each day you can start afresh with a new goal, with a new sense of what you need to do and what you do not. Another method is to keep your phone off and to place it out of sight.When your phone is off, you will be unable to check it so often.Although there may be a strong desire for your phone,keep in mind the many different tasks you need to do instead and work on them.When you feel like turning it on, smack your hand and tell yourself firmly,“Later!” In short, the most effective way is to busy yourself with other activities and push the thought about wasting valuable time on your handphone out of your mind.After all,these joys are only short-term, and will be your regret in the long run.Now is the time to lock your handphone and unlock your life. Live in this world, full of hopes and dreams,beauty and wonders.Cherish your youth while you can.You do not want to live with regret. 一 、好词句深练 (一)根据语境用所给单词的适当形式填空 1.She showed great (able)in solving difficult math problems. 2.As a (young), he enjoys playing basketball with friends after school. 3.The (long)of the river near our town is about 50 kilometers.

"The flowers disappeared quickly in front of you," said Dai Can, one of the scientists who led the study. Some people on Chinese social media said the flowers are the “shyest” in the world.The rapid movement of petals has always been interesting to scientists and nature lovers, as unlike animals,plants are usually static . Leaves of carnivorous plants can react to touch.Before the Gentiana discoveries,the only known plant to display such behavior was the sundew(茅膏菜)plant.Its green leaves can curl up within 2 to 10 minutes after being touched by a fly.It takes between 4 and 6 days for the leaf to digest the fly it catches. However, the four kinds of Gentiana take 7 to 210 seconds to close their petals,making them the most sensitive and fast-reacting flowers in the world,the study said. The flowers were discovered in 2020 near a lake in Nagchu,Xizang Autonomous Region. The Gentiana's flower could protect itself from repeated visits by bumblebees that have a large body, the study said.Another explanation could be that the plant encourages bumblebees to transfer pollen among more flowers,because a closed flower would show them that it has already been visited and the bees should look for another flower.Wang Qingfeng, a researcher at Wuhan Botanical Garden, said both should be examined further in future studies. 一、好词句深练 (一)根据语境用所给单词的适当形式填空 1.She plans to go abroad for (far)study after graduating from high school. 2.The teacher asked for an (explain)when the student forgot to do homework. 3.Good (behave)in class helps students learn better and get along with others.
