she got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price. a new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. about 66 percent of those surveyed suffer from nomophobia or “no mobile phone phobia”. interestingly, more women worry about losing their phone than men. fortunately, theres a solution. the first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. checking your phone too often is one thing, but the true sign of a problem is that you cant conduct business or go about your routine when the fear becomes so severe. do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? thats another sign of a problem. if you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day, there may be a problem. some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: leaving the phone behind and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. even if this leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal with not having your phone. of course, there are also technological alternatives. luis levy, a co-founder at novy pr, says he uses an application called cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. to find it, he can just go to a web site and see the phones location. he also insures his phone through a service called asurion. the companys description of its product reads like a prescription for anxiety: “60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each year. youll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!”61. why does the author mention kellys experience in the first paragraph?a. to inform us that mobile phones are useful. b. to tell us we should get phones ready for a trip. c. to introduce the topic for discussion. d. to warn us that we should be careful.62. the underlined word “nomophobia” in paragraph 2 means _.a. habits of using mobile phone b. fear of losing mobile phones. c. independence of mobile phones. d. eagerness for new mobile phones.63. which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?a. learning more about modern technology. b. not using a mobile phone in ones daily work.c. avoiding using phone for some time d. protecting ones phone against any damage.64. why can the service called asurion help to treat nomophobia?a. it will give you a new phone through insurance.b. it lets you know other people also lose their phones. c. it enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance (熟人) .d. it gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.65. what is the passage mainly about? a. solutions to nomophobia b. attitude toward mobile phones.c. new mobile phone technology. d. disadvantages of mobile phone cwhile income worry is a rather common problem of the aged, loneliness is another problem that aged parents may face. of all the reasons that explain their loneliness, a large geographical distance between parents and their children is the major one. this phenomenon is commonly known as “empty nest syndrome”.in order to find better chances outside their countries, many young people have gone abroad, leaving their parents behind with no clear idea of when they will return home. their parents spend countless lonely days and nights, taking care of themselves, in the hope that someday their children will come back to stay with them. the fact that most of these young people have gone to europeanized or americanized societies makes it unlikely that they will hold as tightly to the value of duty as they would have if they had not left their countries. whatever the case, it has been noted that the values they hold do not necessarily match what the actually do. this geographical and cultural distance also prevents the grown-up children from providing response in time for their aged parents living by themselves.the situation in which grown-up children live far away from their aged parents has been described as “distant parent phenomenon”, which is common both in developed countries and in developing countries. our society has not yet been well prepared for “empty nest syndrome”.66. according to the passage, the loneliness of aged parents is mainly caused by _.a. the distance between where parents live and where their children liveb. the poor living conditions in their native countriesc. the common worry that they have not saved much moneyd. their earlier experience of living alone 67. many young people have gone abroad, leaving their aged parents behind, to _.a. continue their studies abroad b. seek a better place for their aged parentsc. live in the countries with more money d. realize their dreams in foreign countries 68. if young people go abroad, _.a. they do not hold to the value of duty at allb. they cannot do what they should for their parents c. they can give some help to their parents back home d. they believe what they actually do is right69. from the last paragraph, we can infer that _.a. “empty nest syndrome” has arrived unexpectedly in our societyb. the situations in the developed and developing countries are different c. children will become independent as soon as they go abroadd. the aged parents are not fully prepared for “empty nest syndrome”70. the society discussed in the passage is most probably _.a. france b. america c. britain d. china da proverb(谚语) is a short , well-known saying that expresses a common truth or belief.proverbs are popular around
