浙江省台州市玉环市2020年初中毕业升学英语模拟试卷
While I was jumping rope, my phone fell to the floor which created several cracks(裂痕) on my screen. However, the music kept playing, so all was well—or so I thought.
Thirty minutes later, I could see only one-tenth of my screen while the rest was black. The next morning, I decided not to go to the phone store until 24 hours later. I felt a sense of calm that day, which led to my not going for one week. One week ended up becoming 60 days without my smartphone. Here are three advantages I noticed.
1）
While in line at a Starbucks, I noticed how every person had their head down, eyes locked on their smartphone. With nothing else to do during the waiting period, I became bored, and my mind wandered through all kinds of topics.
Boredom is typically something we avoid at all costs. However, new ideas are often hidden in boredom. When you enter a state of boredom, you allow your mind to relax and get away from the realities of today to the possibilities of tomorrow. Then boredom ends up being a perfect way for new ideas to pop out.
2）You'll be able to dramatically reduce(减少) your work hours
A study found that people aged 18 to 33 checked their smartphones 85 times a day, or once every 10 minutes.
By not having my smartphone, my distraction(使人分心的事) time went down, which helped me fall into deep work more easily. There were many times when I found myself wondering what to do with the afternoon since I had already completed my stressful tasks for the day.
3）Your mental health will improve a lot
Focusing on smart phones for too long can lead to health problems, back and neck pain, bad memory and poor eyesight, to name a few. It's also important to remember that online connections cannot take the place of real-life interactions. Without my smart phone for 60 days, I went to more dinners with friends and asked more questions to strangers out of curiosity. I realized that spending time with friends in person and building networks off-line can be protective for your mental health.
