| 阅读理解 A 17-year-old boy caught sending text messages in class was recently sent to the vice principal's office at Millwood High School in Halifax Nova Scotia.The vice principal Steve Gallagher told the boy he needed to focus on the teacher not his cellphone.The boy listened politely and nodded and that's when Mr.Gallagher noticed the student's fingers moving on his lap.He was texting while being scolded for texting.“It was a subconscious act ”says Mr.Gallagher who took the phone away.“Young people today are connected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they close their eyes at night.It's compulsive.” A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain Ga. found that the more time young people spend on Facebook the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits.Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable but they are also more likely to be anxious hostile or depressed.(Doctors meanwhile are now blaming addictions to ‘night texting' for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens.) Almost a quarter of today's teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media a nonprofit group that monitors media's impact on families.Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force or will employers come to see texting and ‘social-network checking' as accepted parts of the workday? Think back.When today's older workers were in their 20s they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans.In those earlier eras companies discouraged non-business-related calls and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired.It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today. Educators are also being asked by parents students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules.“In past generations students got in trouble for passing notes in class.Now students are adept at texting with their phones still in their pockets ”says 40-year-old Mr.Gallagher the vice principal “and they're able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over.Students are just fundamentally different today.They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones.” | (1) | The underlined word“a subconscious act”refers to an act ________. | [ ] | A. | on purpose | B. | without realization | C. | in secret | D. | with care | | (2) | Young people addicted to the use of Facebook ________. | [ ] | A. | are good at dealing with the social relationships and concentrate on their study | B. | have high spirits and positive attitudes towards their life and work | C. | have been influenced mentally in the aspects of behaviors and habits | D. | are always in bad mood and have poor performance in every respect | | (3) | Mr.Gallagher reminds us that the students in the past and those today ________. | [ ] | A. | like to break rules and have the same means of sending messages | B. | are always the big problem for the educators and their parents | C. | like sending text messages but those today do it in a more secret and skillful way | D. | cannot live without a cellphone | | (4) | What's the best title of the passage? | [ ] | A. | Teenagers and Cellphones | B. | Teenagers' Texting Addiction | C. | Employers and Teenagers | D. | Teenagers' Education | | |
