temperature many plants can standif the ice ever became entirely frozen and dry，it might drop many degrees lower，ruining the plantsbut continually spraying water on the ice，the growers keep it from going below 0c even if the air is much colderthis may be unbelievable but it saves the plantsthis strange kind of “ice blanket works only on plants that are strong enough to stand the weight of frozen spraythe system is used even to protect banana plants on some central american plantations24as used in this passage，ice blanket means_.aa cold blanket ba spray of frostca covering of ice da warm

farmer dthe helpless plantchave you ever run into a careless cell phone user on the street？perhaps they were busy talking，texting or checking updates on wechat without looking at what was going on around them. as the number of this new“species”of human has kept rising. they have been given a new namephubbers (低头族)recently，a cartoon created by students from china central academy of fine arts put this group of people under the spotlight. in the short film，phubbers with various social identities bury themselves in their phones. a doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die，a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site，and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. a chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.although the ending sounds overstated，the damage phubbing can bring is real.your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” guangming daily quoted doctors as saying，“the neck is like a rope that breaks after long term stretching.”also，staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually，according to the report.but thats not all. being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. at reunions with family or friends，many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere，beijing evening news reported.it can also cost you your life. there have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death，suffered accidents，and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.28. for what purpose does the author give the example of a cartoon in para.2?ato advertise the cartoon made by students.bto inform people of the bad effects of phubbing.cto indicate the world will finally be destroyed by phubbers.dto

harmed.che might get separated from his friends and family.dhe will cause the destruction of the world.30. which of the following may be the authors attitude towards phubbing?asupportive. b. optimistic. c. opposed. d. objective.31. what may the passage talk about next?ameasures to reduce the risks of phubbing.bpeople addicted to phubbing.cdefinition of phubbers.dconsequences of
