The Week Without My Phone
s边读边记·每段一个好表达
My brother said he could go a week without his phone.My father
laughed and made a bet(打赌):no phone for seven days,and the loser
would clean the kitchen for a month.I joined in,mostly because I wanted
to watch my brother wash dishes.
I did not expect to learn anything about myself.
The first day was fine.It felt like a holiday.The second day was not
fine.My hand kept reaching for a phone that was not in my pocket.I
would be reading,something would pull my attention away-a pause,
an empty minute-and I would reach for it again,like a habit my fingers
had learned without me.Once,I even looked for it in my school bag
twice before remembering.
By the third evening I was bored,and I could not help myself.So I
sat by the window.I noticed that the tree across the street had small white
flowers.I had walked past that tree for years and had never seen them.
Later that night I called my friend instead of messaging her.We talked
for foity minutes,and I could hear when she was about to laugh,
something a message never canies.I also staited writing things down in a
notebook,because I could not send them to anyone.
Things changed slowly after that.I used to check my phone the
second I woke up;now I was sleeping better,and I felt more energetic in
the morning.Being used to silence took days;being able to choose took
weeks.I did not become a person who hates phones.I became a person
who decides.When I got my phone back,I did not delete anything.I just
stopped keeping it next to my bed.
■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■
On the last day,my brother walked into the kitchen,picked up a
cloth(抹布),and started washing the dishes..He had lost the bet一I
never found out how,and he never said.My father said the kitchen had
never been so clean.
But the best thing I brought back from that week was not the win.It
was the quiet.It is still there,waiting in the small empty spaces of my
day,and now I visit it on purpose.My brother,by the way,now leaves his
phone in the hall at night.He says it was his idea.

Part1语篇Reading
The Week Without My Phone
My brother said he could go a week without his phone.My father
laughed and made a bet(打赌):no phone for seven days,.and the loser
would clean the kitchen for a month.I joined in,mostly because I wanted
to watch my brother wash dishes.
I did not expect to learn anything about myself.
The first day was fine.It felt like a holiday.The second day was not
fine.My hand kept reaching for a phone that was not in my pocket.I
would be reading,something would pull my attention away-a pause,
an empty minute-and I would reach for it again,like a habit my fingers
had learned without me.Once,I even looked for it in my school bag
twice before remembering.
By the third evening I was bored,and I could not help myself.So I
sat by the window.I noticed that the tree across the street had small white
flowers.I had walked past that tree for years and had never seen them.
Later that night I called my friend instead of messaging her.We talked
for foity minutes,and I could hear when she was about to laugh,
something a message never carries.I also staited writing things down in a
notebook,because I could not send them to anyone.
Things changed slowly after that.I used to check my phone the
second I woke up;now I was sleeping better,and I felt more energetic in
the morning.Being used to silence took days;being able to choose took
weeks.I did not become a person who hates phones.I became a person
who decides.When I got my phone back,I did not delete anything.I just
stopped keeping it next to my bed.
On the last day,my brother walked into the kitchen,picked up a
cloth(抹布),and started washing the dishes.He had lost the bet一I
never found out how,and he never said.My father said the kitchen had
never been so clean.
But the best thing I brought back from that week was not the win.It
was the quiet.It is still there,waiting in the small empty spaces of my
day,and now I visit it on purpose.My brother,by the way,now leaves his
phone in the hall at night.He says it was his idea.
