二、任务型阅读
Do you know how you feel today? Sometimes it’s hard to tell. That’s why two 17-year-olds, Tara Verma and Siena Pradhan, from the US, made an app called Feel Now.
Feel Now is a free app and people can use it on their phones. The app helps users think about and understand their feelings. They get a message each day. It asks them to choose a feeling. The users pick one from six feelings: happy, peaceful, angry, sad, bored and scared. Then the app breaks down (分解) each one into ten feelings. For example, it breaks down “scared”into “worried”and nine other feelings. The users can also say how strong the feeling is, such as “a little”or“very”.
Aditi, 14, is one of the users. She uses Feel Now and finds a feeling she didn’t know about. She might worry about a test more than she thought. And then she does something to make herself feel better. Some people think Feel Now could be more useful if it works with other apps. But Tara and Siena think the simple app is more helpful. “I think the simpler it is, the more people will use it. ”Tara said.
