Ask Helpful Hannah

Dear Helpful Hannah,

    I've got a problem with my husband, Sam. He bought a smartphone a couple of months ago and he took it on our recent ski vacation to Colorado. It was a great trip except for one problem. He has a constant desire {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (check) for text messages; he checks his phone every five minutes! He's so addicted to it that he just can't stand the idea {#blank#}2{#/blank#} there may be an important text. He can't help {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (check) even at inappropriate times like when we are eating in a restaurant and I am talking to him! He behaves {#blank#}4{#/blank#} any small amount of boredom can make him feel the need to check his phone even when he knows he shouldn't. The temptation to see {#blank#}5{#/blank#} is contacting him is just too great. When I ask him to please put down the phone and stop {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (ignore) me, he says, "In a minute," but still checks to see if {#blank#}7{#/blank#} has posted something new on the Internet. Our life {#blank#}8{#/blank#} (interrupt). If we go somewhere and I ask him to leave the phone at home, he suffers from withdrawal symptoms. Maybe this dependency on his smartphone has become more than an everyday problem.

    I recently read an article about "nomophobia," {#blank#}9{#/blank#} is a real illness people can suffer from: the fear of being without your phone! I am worried that Sam may be suffering from this illness {#blank#}10{#/blank#} he feels anxious if he doesn't have his phone with him, even for a short time.

    Who would have thought that little devices like these could have brought so much trouble!

阅读下面材料,在空格处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。

    I have a degree in business. However, it was my father's decision for me to pursue a business major. Nevertheless, even if my college {#blank#}1{#/blank#} (experience) were fantastic, I still had no interest in any field of commerce, let alone having a long-term career {#blank#}2{#/blank#} a businesswoman.

    After I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} (graduate), I worked as a marketing {#blank#}4{#/blank#} (plan) at a computer company. My pay and working environment were great; however, I still didn't feel happy {#blank#}5{#/blank#} (do) something I wasn't interested in. After two months of working there, I made up my mind {#blank#}6{#/blank#} (quit) and decided to do {#blank#}7{#/blank#} I love, namely teaching English. I have now been an English teacher for over twenty years. I love my job and love being with my students.

    If you are in a place {#blank#}8{#/blank#} you don't love what you are learning or doing, please ask yourself what you are really passionate for, and what you {#blank#}9{#/blank#} (true) want for your life. Don't rush to get yourself a quick answer. Take some time to think about what career could make you happy. The important thing is that you are happy and then you will be able to bring happiness to people around you. There is a quote that says, "Success is not the key to happiness. Happiness is the key to success." If you love what you are doing, you will be {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (success).

    In a Pennsylvania State University study involving more than 20,000 participants, people who said they got only six hours of sleep regularly ran a greater risk of dehydration (脱水) than {#blank#}1{#/blank#} who got eight hours.

Most useful of all was {#blank#}10{#/blank#} (combine) different types of exercise, including lifting weights and balance exercises.
