河南省驻马店市驿城区2020年6月九年级英语质量检测试卷(含听力音频)
For those who haven't heard of it, the Apple watch is the latest invention from the creators of the iPhone and Apple Mac. As the name suggests, this creation is a device designed to tell us the time. This is Apple, however, and an Apple watch is never just a watch. Not only does it show us the time, but it also acts as a fitness monitor and a messaging device that can be connected with an iPhone.
Is this a smart invention or technology gone too far? While the Apple watch is stylish In appearance, I can't help but question certain aspects of the new device. Is it a positive thing to be able to receive messages through a watch, or is this another way of letting technology upset our social lives?
Thanks to the invention of the smartwatch, we will no longer have to reach for our phones to check our messages. Imagine the possible result. A group of friends sitting at a table in a restaurant will overlook each other as everyone will be too busy watching their wrists in expectation of a new message. Students will have a way of checking their inbox during school, despite the fact that using mobile phones is not allowed in class. The list goes on. Although smartwatches may make communicating through technology easier, it seems that using them could actually hinder face-to-face communication.
Much like a phone, the watch would also need to be charged every day. This is yet another aspect of the device which sets it apart from any "normal" watch. If, like me, you struggle when remembering to put your phone on charge, this is not necessarily a positive thing.
I do have to agree. However, the watch has some interesting and purposeful functions. As a fitness monitor, the device can be used to create and record exercise activities. This could be of particular interest to outdoor fans. While there are several existing Android Apps that can already do this. I can see that the Apple watch would be a more convenient way of exercising without a mobile phone. The question remains, however, is the price worth the benefits?
While there are clearly both advantages and disadvantages when it comes to Apple's latest invention, I personally like my single- purpose watch that simply tells me the time! What about you? Would you be interested in having a smartwatch?
Some people around you look so cool and happy, but you often feel lonely. Or the friends you have do not really understand you, and that makes you feel lonely too. So what can be done when you have this feeling?
Understand people's differences
Not everyone has to do things the same way or behave the same way. Find people who have the same feeling. That is always a good basic for the friendship. You can take part in activities outside school like sports, art classes and dancing classes. There you can have more chances to find people who have the same interest as you.
Develop your friendship
Friendships do not just happen, and they need work. Phone your friends once in a while. Being there when they need you means that they will do the same for you.
Accept others' invitations
Even if someone invites you to a party, you never know who else will be there. Laughing and playing together could start a new friendship.
Start a club
Make more friends by starting a club. Going camping together or regularly (有规律地) going to the movies doesn't take much time.
