Youre having lunch alone in the dining hall, but it only feels right when you start playing a show on your phone -as if its a necessary side dish. Were now living in a world that is filled with information. It seems unnatural to do only one thing at a time. Its as if were all suffering from a recent article called multitasking OCD.With news reduced to 140 characters and communication increasingly by emojis, we have developed the ability to focus our attention on several activities and devices at once, Sabry Otmani, founder of Pulpix website, once wrote. We need something exciting to keep us interested and to fight off boredom.But perhaps fighting off boredom is not the only reason.My own obsession with multitasking mainly comes from the fact that everyone around me seems to study all the time. Each minute Im not taking in something new feels like a waste of time. So I always have my headphones on, whether Im commuting, exercising or walking in the park. Im forever listening to something-a course on classical music, or on new media management, and heaven knows what else-just so I can keep up with the world.People who cant stay away from social media are known by FOMO (fear of missing out): They have to be updated about what their friends are doing and saying. But Id guess that FOFO better describes me fear of falling out.No matter what reason youre doing it for, multitasking is already a part of the modern lifestyle. Just make sure you make the most out of it.（1）In the first paragraph, the author wants to _. A . show how busy todays life isB . show that people today often feel lostC . explain what multitasking OCD is likeD . say people like to compare with each other（2）According to Sabry Otmani people today like multitasking because _. A . it can help them to communicate their ideasB . it can help them out of being boredC . they are impatient to finish one thing at a timeD . they are more able than the past generations（3）The underlined word obsession may mean _. A . interestB . knowledgeC . understandingD . worry（4）Which of the following is correct about the writer? A . She wants to stay ahead of her friends.B . She wants to have something
