People used to spend more time with their family members before. Nowadays, with children (and the parents, too) spending more time texting, watching movies and television, playing video games, and listening to music, when will the family find time to bond (培养感情) and create lasting memories together? Far too often we dont pay more attention to making time for members of our own family. By the end of a long day at work or school, members of the family want to relax. And now that technology use is widespread across the country, normally our relaxing is also known as spending time on smart phones.Not only is the amount of family time affected (影响) by technology, but also the quality. Technology can affect the quality in different ways. For example, family members can be distracted (使分心) by their phones while trying to play a board game together, which wouldnt have happened if the phone didnt exist in the first place.If family time means everyone sitting in the same room while playing online, what value is there? Personal interaction is key to time well spent with loved ones. Families dont even need to have something to do while together. If they simply ask each other how their day is and play a simple game together, family bonds will get better.When technology becomes a focus, quality(有质量的) time for families goes down, which in turn affects everyones life. Lack of family interaction causes the familys unity to weaken, and each of the family will be influenced in different ways. Children are more likely to develop unhealthy habits when they fail to interact with their parents. Meanwhile, parents who put work before family or pay less attention to their childrens growth are more likely to face bad parent-child relationship. 67 percent of American teens say they want to spend more time with their parents, which is rather sad. Therefore, this passage is meant to show how technology has negatively influenced families.（1）According to Paragraph 3, we can know that technology_. A . makes us put work before familyB . affects the quality of family timeC . brings us convenience and happinessD . affects the family time in the same way（2）Whats Paragraph 4 mainly about? A . Simple games are helpful for family bonds.B . Families dont need to do anything together.C . Personal interaction is important for family time.D . Staying in the same room is necessary for family.（3）Whats the writers attitude towards the technology influence? A . Puzzled.B . Worried.C . Surprised.D . Satisfied.4. （10分）阅读理解(B)Welcome to London!
