What will happen if a family is without the Internet for a month? One (美国)family decides to find out. They have sent invitation to a leading US television station, expecting that it will send a film group to (记录)their day-to-day life without technology for a month.

    When the film group meet the Smiths, they find that Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith and their two sons are so crazy about technology that they (几乎不)do things together. At mealtimes, no one sits at the dining table for their food. "Everyone just runs into the (厨房), takes their food and then goes back to their screen," Mrs. Smith (解释). “If we always do like this, our family will become strangers to each other!”

    Getting back to the (正常的)life without the Internet is not easy, especially when the Smiths lose (他们自己)in it. They have to make many (改变). For example, the two brothers have to go to the school library to borrow books for their scientific projects, and Mr. and Mrs. Smith need to go out shopping. As the family have picked up the new lifestyle, they find that they can spend more time talking over meals, playing sports and doing all kinds of (活动)together. Naturally, their life is better than before.
