Robert Titterton is a lawyer. In his spare time, he goes on stage beside pianist Maria Raspopova—not as a musician but as her page turner. "I love music, but I'm not a trained musician.

Mr Titterton is chairman of the Omega Ensemble but has been the group's official page turner for the past four years. His job is to sit beside the pianist and turn the pages of the score so the musician doesn't have to break the flow of sound by doing it themselves.

 "The job is a struggle for me, because a lot of skills are needed for the job. You have to make sure you don't turn two pages at once and make sure you find the repeats in the music when you have to go back to the right spot. "Mr Titterton explained.

Being a page turner requires plenty of practice. Silent onstage communication is important, and each pianist has their own style to indicate a page turn which they need to practise with their page turner.

But like all performances, there are moments when things go wrong. "I was turning the page to get ready for the next page, but the wind from the turn caused the spare pages to fall off the stand, "Mr Titterton said, "Luckily I was able to catch them and put them back. "

Most page turners are piano students or up-and-coming concert pianists, although Ms Raspopova has once asked her husband to help her out on stage.

"My husband is the worst page turner, "she laughed. "He's interested in the music, feeling every note, and I have to say, 'Turn, turn!' Robert is the best page turner I've had in my entire life. "

4. Why does Titterton find his part-time job hard?

A. He has to repair the piano.    B. He reads music slowly.

C. He has to learn many skills.    D. He is worried about performing.

5. What does the underlined word "indicate" in paragraph 4 mean?

A. Stop.   B. Perform.   C. Teach.   D. Show.

6. What do Titterton and Ms Raspopova's husband have in common?

A. They are interested in music.      B. They avoided an accident.

C. They remember to turn the page.  D. They must sing songs on the stage.

7. Which section of a newspaper is this text most likely from?

A. Technology.  B. Education.   C. Music.  D. Sport.

Jean Twenge, a psychologist, took part in the study. Her team has found that since 2012, US teens have been spending less time together face-to-face.

"Smartphones can help keep us connected with friends, " says Twenge. "But they can also make people feel excluded（隔离）. "Girls, especially, may feel this way. One reason may be that they like to post more photos and selfies（自拍）than boys. Studies have shown that if those images don't get a lot of "likes", it can affect a teen's mental health.

And there's "phubbing", a mixture of "phone" and "snubbing（冷落）". It's that moment in which a friend or family member takes out a phone and keeps looking at it, paying no attention to everybody else, including you. Phubbing is one way technology can affect you, even when you're not the one using it.

If technology causes loneliness, should we stop using it?" No, not at all, "argues Twenge. "Everybody of all ages is trying to figure out how we can best use these technologies and stay mentally healthy. "Her advice is to "use your smartphone for what it's good for. Then put it away. "That includes putting it away overnight—ideally in another room.

12. How do girls differ from boys in smartphone use in the study?

A. They feel unhappy.

B. They play games.

C. They use it as a learning tool.

D. They like to post more pictures with it.

13. Why does the author discuss "phubbing" in paragraph 3?

A. To show the harm of the smartphone.

D. To show a fact.
