Question

As the mobile phones so widely appear in our daily life, someone said it would be cool if you didn’t have a mobile phone nowadays. It might be true to some extent, but as for an adult, a mobile means contact. It connects your work, relatives, friends, etc. It should do great deeds for us.

Months ago, my uncle gave his dear son a phone, because my nephew’s school is far from his home. He can only come back once a term, and the phones haven’t been so expensive yet. However, someone has criticized （批評） the young people for playing on mobiles, but not using. They are fond of sending messages, taking pictures and so on. They buy expensive, high level and fashion types for showing. They play on the mobiles day in and day out ….. Holy cow!

So, what happens to youngsters around you? Do they have a phone? What do they use it for? Do you think it’s necessary for teenagers who are still in school to have a phone?

POSTER 1:

In my view, mobile phones are only a tool for communication purpose, just like any other tools which have the potential (潛力) to be misused. In my opinion, I can see young people using it for security reason, emergency purpose, etc. If the parents can afford to pay big phone bills for their kids, well, that’s their business, like the old saying goes, “l(fā)ive and let live.”

--- Mary Smith

POSTER 2:

From psychological (心理學(xué)的) point of view, teenagers are more likely to be relaxed or pleasure-oriented. They would like to make something different. Buying brands that are considered “COOL” is important to them. They want others to like and admire themselves, and sometimes, even exaggerate(夸大)their own personality to show off. This can be seen as a kind of psychology during this certain range of age.

--- Dick Gates

Currently, people should tend to be more sociable, and age should not be seen as a barrier for teenagers to own their phones. They also need to set trends on the social circuit (社交圈). But here parents should play an important role in controlling their children about how to use the phones more properly.

【解析】

試題分析: 本文講的是手機在日常生活中的作用越為越多，做為孩子可以擁有手機，但他們大多數(shù)時候是用來玩，消磨時間，而忽略它的溝通作用。做為家長來說，要積極的引導(dǎo)孩子 。

1.As the mobile phones so widely appear in our daily life, someone said it would be cool if you didn’t have a mobile phone nowadays.概括段意，手機越來越廣泛的出現(xiàn)在人們的生活中，故C項符合題意 。

2.someone has criticized （批評） the young people for playing on mobiles, but not using，青少年們只是玩手機而不是利用它，因些受到批評，所以選A項。

3.. If the parents can afford to pay big phone bills for their kids, well, that’s their business，如果父母能支付得起孩子的花費的話，那是他們的事，作者主張看個人意愿了，所以選C項。

4.Buying brands that are considered “COOL” is important to them. They want others to like and admire themselves, and sometimes, even exaggerate(夸大)their own personality to show off. This can be seen as a kind of psychology during this certain range of age.對孩子來說，買某些東西只為追求酷，甚至是更多的是炫耀，這是這個年齡段孩子們的一種心理，所以這是比較客觀的分析，故選B項。
