In the urgent need f saving yur expensive device frm ptential damage, yu remember yur friend’s suggestin t thrw it in a bag f rice vernight.

The cmpany advises a gentle apprach in such situatins, such as simply tapping the device against yur hand “with the cnnectr facing dwn” t disldge liquid, then leaving it in an pen, dry space with decent airflw fr at least 30 minutes. Frm there, try cnnecting it t a cable charger. Yes. They really did pull ut the trusty “Have yu tried turning it n and ff again?” line fr this ne.
12．Which is clsest in meaning t “get the best f” in paragraph 2?
A. Make full f. B. Make fun f. C. Take care f. D. Take cntrl f.
13．Why is it NOT suggested t put yur wet phne in rice?

C. Because the rice will stick t the phne.
D. Because the rice will be wet.
14．What is the suitable way t dry a wet phne accrding t the phne cmpany?

B. Leaving it in an pen, dry place with cnstant flwing air.
C. Using a blw dryer t heat up the inside.
