【素养拓展作业】

V. 阅读理解

① Have you noticed how quiet restaurants have become? Instead of lively conversations, most people sit staring at their phones. A recent study found that 70% of teenagers prefer texting to face-to-face talks. But are we really connecting, or just exchanging emojis?

② First, let’s consider what we’re losing. Real conversations teach us important skills like reading expressions on faces and tones of voice. These “soft skills” help us make friends and succeed at work. When we only communicate through phones, we miss these learning chances. Experts call this “social malnutrition”—when our communication diet lacks real human connection.

③Moreover, online communication is like fast food, quick and satisfying but not very nutritious. A text can never take the place of the warmth of a hug or the light in someone’s eyes when they laugh. Our phones give us thousands of connections, but how many real friends do we have? When did “friends” become just names on a screen?

④ Additionally, we’re forgetting how to focus on the moment. At dinner, instead of talking, everyone just looks at their phones. We’re losing the ability to truly listen to each other. But imagine being outside in nature—no phone noises, just the wind in the trees and real conversations.

⑤ In short, technology won’t disappear, but we must control it instead of letting it control us. Next time you’re with friends, try putting phones away. You might rediscover the joy of real connection. After all, humans have lived for thousands of years before smartphones were invented—surely we can manage a meal without them!

1. What do the underlined words “social malnutrition” mean in Paragraph 2?

A. Making friends while working. B. Sending too many emojis online.

C. Missing real communication skills. D. Using phones while eating with friends.
