I wished we could talk underwater,” said Stachowski.

While phones are still widely use for communication, a recent study has found that most students think talking on mobile phones is now old-fashioned.LondonUniversityresearchers(研究生) surveyed 1055 young people aged 13 to 18 about their mobile phone habits. The researchers divided mobile phone use into “communication” and “entertainment(娱乐)”. Communication included talking on the phone and writing messages using texting（短信）or chatting software. Entertainment was made up of playing games, watching movies, listening to music and surfing the Internet. The findings were then compared to a 2008 study, to see what changed. The results are shown below:Perhaps most surprising is how little time students spend talking on their phones these days. Six years ago the average student spent 36% of their mobile phone time making or receiving calls. In 2014, only 10% of time was used for talking. When students use their phones to communicate, more and more often it is done by using chat software like QQ or we chat.“Communication is still an important function of mobile phones. But now mobile phones are being used more for entertainment than for communication,” said Dr Harry Lectre, the research leader.36. what is the survey of London University about?A. The importance of mobile phone.B. The time students spent on their mobile phones.C. The mobile phone habits of young people.D. The ways of communication of young people aged 13 to 18.37.

Fewer students use mobile phones to listen to music and watch TV.C. Students prefer to caht on QQ or Wechat instead of making phone calls.D. Students use their mobile phones more for communication than for entertainment.39. Which of the following may Dr.harry Lectre agree on?A. Talking on mobile phone is now old-fashioned.B.
