Tired f a life cntrlled by their mbile phnes, many yung peple are appealing t extreme measures t kick the bug.
A discussin grup called the Screen-Free Prject n Duban, nw has mre than33,000 members, wh prmise t “quit“ their mbile phne. That generally des nt mean they will abandn their phne, but means they will seek t cut dwn their use f it greatly.
That is a very hard thing t d, particularly when cashless payments are everywhere in China, One way t cut yur mbile phne screen time is the mbile phne islatin bx. Users simply put their mbile phne in the bx and set a time lck that will ban them frm having access t the phne fr a set time.
Lin Tianqi, a student at Belling Technlgy and Business University, bught an islatin bx recently nline. She has attached several eye-catching stickers t the bx: “Happiness will find yu when yu are wrking” and “The harder yu wrk, the luckier yu are”. The stickers help remind her f the need t face up t reality.
This summer, Lin says, she will be busy preparing fr autumn career recruiting(招聘) and the pstgraduate entrance exam. With s much t d, if her mbile phne tk up mst f her time, it wuld influence her prspects largely.
Thugh using a physical bx t reduce mbile phne use may nt seem s useful. it appears a gd thing t the market.

Self-disciplined peple will succeed withut such tricks.”
24．What d the members f the Screen-Free Prject intend t d?
A．Get rid f their mbile phnes.B．Buy a mbile phne islatin bx.
C．Lck their mbile phnes in a bx.D．Reduce their use f the mbile phnes.
25．Why did Lin Tianqi attach the eye-catching stickers t the bx?
A．T warn herself t discipline.
B．T remind herself t launch a career.
C．T start her business n islatin bxes.
D．T apply fr a jb in Xianfeng Technlgy.
26．What is the authr’s attitude t the mbile phne islatin bx?
A．Psitive.B．Neutral.C．Negative.D．Indifferent.
27．What is the best title fr the text?

Befre I knew it an hur had passed and it was time t mve n t lunch.
We bth became absrbed in the simplicity f playing tgether. He had my full attentin and I had his. My little experiment t find jy in a single bject wrked fr bth f us.

Teaching is a cnstant prcess f upgrade, where every mment yu learn new things, nt nly as a teacher, but als as a human being.
At the start f my career, I believe I shuld cme acrss t my students as a ‘n-nnsense’ type f persn. My entire fcus was twards maintaining classrm discipline (纪律). It was tugh. Mst f my Indian students were frm a rural backgrund. They wuld intentinally use vcabulary that sunded Greek t me. They did all in their pwer t make me feel like a fish ut f water.
My last lecture ended at 2.30 in the afternn. Sme f the students apprached me begging t let them leave 15 minutes early as they had a bus t catch. My permissin resulted in a stir and restlessness as half f the class std up t leave. They all had buses t catch! Unable t distinguish between the genuine nes and thse faking it, I put a ban n anybdy leaving befre time.
One evening, I sptted three bys frm my last class at the bus stp. I called ut, “Yu cnstantly blame me fr nt allwing yu t leave early because yu have a bus t catch and here yu are still hanging arund at 5 pm!” One f the bys replied respectfully and humbly, “Madam, the bus leaves at 2:30. If we leave the class at 2:15, we are able t make it. In case we miss it, the next bus t ur village cmes after three hurs. Nw we are waiting fr it. At this hur, the bus will be verladed and we will nt even get a seat.”
I was full f remrse (懊悔). The next day, I asked all the students wh had a bus t catch t write an applicatin, get it signed and leave whenever they wanted, withut seeking my permissin. I learnt the first lessn f my life as a teacher — learn t empathize (共鸣) with yur students, fr they wuld learn better frm yu when they respect yu than when they fear yu.
32．What gave the authr the biggest headache when she started teaching?
A．Her students’ serius vilent behavir.
B．Her inability t understand Greek wrds.
C．Her struggle t keep her classes in rder.
D．Her students’ diverse educatinal backgrunds.
33．Hw did the authr deal with the students’ request t leave befre time at first?
A．She tk it seriusly.B．She apprved it instantly.
C．She rejected it cmpletely.D．She prcessed it gracefully.
34．Hw did the authr feel the mment she sptted the three bys at the bus stp?
A．Embarrassed.B．Cncerned.
C．Regretful.D．Annyed.
35．What advice wuld the authr give t her fellw teachers by sharing the stry?
A．Shw students that yu respect them.
B．Relate t students’ emtinal experiences.
C．Cperate with students t prmte learning.

There is n way t make smebdy stp smking, and just like with users f any drug, it is very unlikely that a persn will stp unless he r she wants t. 36 .
Step One: Make bservatins
Smking can affect memry and make it difficult fr smkers t fcus at wrk r schl. Other bad effects that yu may ntice include: 37 ? Is she getting sick mre ften than she used t?
Step Tw: Apprach the persn
Write dwn yur cncerns using “I” statements, such as “I feel sad that when yu smke, yu give up yur artwrk.” It's best t apprach the persn in this manner instead f using attacking “yu” statements like, 38 ”.
Express yur cncerns using the statements yu wrte dwn. Tell him yu will be there t supprt him if and when he decides t give up smking. He will likely give yu ne f three respnses:
He wants t quit.
He desn't want t quit.
He wants t stp, but nt yet.
39 . If he says he des want t stp, g n with the next step. If nt, they will have t be revisited later when he is ready.
Step Three: 40
Peple can becme physically dependent n smking. Hwever, symptms nly appear after sme time f quitting smke, since the nictine can stay in the system fr a lng perid f time. This causes sme wh are addicted t believe that they are nt actually addicted and t start using again.
A．Give them mre time t relax
B．Prevent him giving up halfway
C．Des he realize the harm f smking
D．Des this persn appear mre nervus
E．Yu are lazy because yu smke t much
F．Yu must be willing t calmly accept any f these respnses
G．But there are steps yu can take t supprt a friend r family member

“I just mean...” I said in a 43 vice, trying t keep the tne light, “that she’s nt as biting as Virginia Wlf.”
The tw prfessrs patted this idea arund, t, like a cuple f cats tying with a frightened bird---giving 44 examples f hw Austen’s wrk was, 45 , mre biting than Wlf’s. With n mre defensive actin t take, I simply smiled and said, “Let’s just agree t disagree, shall we?” And at that mment, my dreams f ging t Oxfrd university 46 in a puff f smke.
Part f my prblem, in hindsight was a lack f cnfidence. 47 I was a straight A student and had prepared fr the interview t the best f my ability, I wasn’t a skilled debater. When faced with tw experts wh tld me that I was wrng, instead f defending myself, I rlled ver and accepted 48 .
T pass the interview, yu need cnfidence, f curse. Yu als need a 49 passin fr yur subject, nt just a keen interest. In ther wrds, dn’t put cmments n yur persnal statement that yu dn’t have 50 fr yur in-persn backup.
S, mnths later, I already knew the cntents f my thin envelpe when it appeared n my drmat. 51 , I felt a pang f disappintment. I had wanted t g t Oxfrd since I was 13. I used t lk up images f my favrite cllege with the same 52 f a bride-t-be brwsing wedding dresses.
Ultimately, I didn’t have what it tk---but, lking back, that was 53 a bad thing. Instead f ging t Oxfrd, I fund a university that was a better fit fr my interests. I lved my eclectic curse, where I culd write an essay cmparing Jane Eyre t 50 Shades f Grey.
Failing my Oxfrd interview als prvided a valuable life lessn. I’m nw mre cnfident in my pinins, mre passinate when it cmes t debate, and I try t back up my pints with 54 evidence. What’s mre, I had never since ended a discussin by giving a 55 smile and saying,” let’s just agree t disagree, shall we?”

37．根据上文“Smking can affect memry and make it difficult fr smkers t fcus at wrk r schl. Other bad effects that yu may ntice include(吸烟会影响记忆力，让吸烟者很难在工作或学习时集中注意力。你可能会注意到的其他不良影响包括)”以及后文“Is she getting sick mre ften than she used t?(她比以前更常生病了吗？)”可知，本句与后文并列，都是关于吸烟不良影响的设问句。故D选项“这个人看起来更紧张吗”符合语境，故选D。
