浙江省舟山市定海区金衢山五校联考2024年中考英语三模试卷
It's Friday evening. My daughters sighed (叹息) when I gently took the iPads away from their laps. One by one, our screens were turned off. We lit the candles and sat down to have a big meal.
We call it our "Technology Shabbat" (科技安息日), which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.
I first understood the importance of "Technology Shabbat" in 2008, when my father had got brain cancer. Some days he would have only one awake hour, and the only thing I wanted to do was to be with him. When I looked after my father, I turned off my mobile phone.
During our "Technology Shabbat", time slows down. Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive cars or ride bikes. We work in the garden, play board games and cook meals with our kids. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.
Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is important for my family. The technology helps us share knowledge and funny ideas all over the world. But the technology also takes something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking (连接) from website to website or sending messages, we click again and again until we have been overloaded (超负荷的).
Now we're rushing into the time full of high technology. We should pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go offline.
I will always remember the most important thing in my family: Technology Shabbat.
