but nothing worked. her first reaction? 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!”31. why does the author mention kellys experience in the first paragraph?a. to introduce the topic for discussion.b. to inform us that mobile phones are useful.c. to warn us that we should be careful.d. to tell us we should get phones ready for a trip.32. the underlined word “nomophobia” in paragraph 2 means _.a. habits of using mobile phones.b. fear of losing mobile phones.c. eagerness for new mobile phones.d. independence of mobile phones.33. which of the following is a way to treat nomophobia?a. avoiding using phone for some timeb. learning more about modern technology.c. protecting ones phone against any damage.d. not using a mobile phone in ones daily work.34. why can the service called asurion help to treat nomophobia?a. it lets you know other people also lose their phones.b. it will give you a new phone through insurance.c. it enables you to reconnect with your acquaintance.d. it gives you a prescription to treat nomophobia.35. what is the passage mainly about? a. attitude toward mobile phone.b. new mobile phone technology.c. disadvantages of mobile phone.d. solutions to nomophobiacanger is good for you as long as you control it properly，according to new psychology researcha new study from carnegie mellon university shows anger may help people reduce the negative impacts of stress and help you become healthier“here getting emotional is not bad for you if you look at the case
