The Surprisingly Easy Trick That Can Help You Use Your Phone a Little Bit Less
The first thing I do in the mornings is look at my phone. That's mainly because my phone is my alarm clock, but once my eyes are open and that screen is lit up in my hands, it's an awfully short trip to checking emails and perusing headlines.My emails that early in the morning are mainly junk, and the headlines won't change much before I've brushed my teeth and poured a cup of coffee, right?
My wife says I'm addicted to my phone. I'm not terribly active on social media, but I do enjoy me some idle scrolling(enjoy playing the mobile phone). And, wow, do these tech companies know how to keep those thumbs constantly swiping up.
While I think we're pretty good about limiting her screen time, it would seem that technology has had its hooks in me from the start. So, I decided to try loosening my phone's grasp on my attention by switching the screen to black and white.
Changing the display to black and white is very easy. In your iPhone's settings, choose General, then Accessibility. Next choose Display Accommodations, then Color Filters. Tap the toggle on and a list of filters appears.
But no one wants to go through all this every time they want to turn color back on to check out an Instagram story. Clearly, you don't always want your screen to be black and white. After all, there will unavoidably be photos to view and videos to share. In the Accessibility menu, tap Accessibility Shortcut and choose Color Filters. Now, pressing the home button three times will switch your display to color, and then back with another three.
A. There's no reason for me to be doing this.
B. We've got a three-year-old child.
C. Choose Grayscale and you're all set.
D. It can help you use your phone a little bit less
E. I disagree, but I can definitely stand to spend less time looking at it.
F. Here comes a surprisingly easy trick.
G. That is what makes setting a shortcut necessary.
A. India has a high poverty rate. B. This cycle has proved very difficult to break. C. The exam season can be called cheating season. D. The government cannot stop cheating in exams. E. The serious cheating outbreak did not go unpunished. F. But the parents of some students in India have taken helping their kids to a new level. G. As a result, students throughout the country are under great pressure to do well on the tests. |
A lot of parents help their kids do homework and study for school. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
A photographer in India's Bihar state took a photo of dozens of parents risking their lives to help their 10th-graders cheat on tests. The parents climbed the walls of a four-story school to throw cheat sheets through the window for their children.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#} About 600 students were expelled (开除) from the school. And police have detained (拘留) more than 1, 000 people connected with the scandal (丑闻).
The tests the Bihar students were taking are called board exams. These exams help determine who will be considered the top students in each class. India's best university will take only students with a 95 percent score or better. {#blank#}3{#/blank#}
Students who make it into India's top universities have a much better chance of getting well-paid jobs. They can help their families by becoming doctors or engineers. Many of the students who don't pursue (追求) these kinds of careers have a much more difficult time making money.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#} About 30 percent of its citizens are considered poor. In many parts of the country, a family of five might struggle to survive on as little as $80 a month. For students who do well, the exams can be a life-changing event for their families.
Few believe the Bihar incident will stop people from cheating on exams. Many students think that because others are cheating, they also have to cheat to keep up. {#blank#}5{#/blank#}
Officials believe that new laws and policies will help only so much. To stop cheating, they say, people need to change their attitudes toward it.
