For the past 2 years, I’ve had the privilege of traveling to various countries in Asia, specifically Indonesia and China.

\my four year old daughter was an uncomfortable wake up call. How had I let the shiny electronic box in my hand take so much of my attention that it could even interrupt a short bedtime story with my precious children?

It's no exaggeration to suggest that our mobile devices are in danger of taking over our entire lives. Time magazine found that 68% of users take their devices to bed with them, 20% check their phones every ten minutes and one third report feeling anxious when briefly separated from their beloved gadget. According to Osterman research, 79% of respondents take their work-related device on vacation and 33% admit to hiding from family and friends in order to check Facebook and Twitter. It's hard to deny that these are worrying trends.

A father’s concern that smartphone is depriving him of his precious family time does not stand alone. Favorable opinions as there are, the majority of Americans today view technology as hazardous. (31 words)

【选“是”】

However, no pains, no gains. The world evolves as human technology leaps forward, along whose process there is bound to be sacrifices. The definition of happiness may vary, but a more connected, convenient, and creative society is undeniably nothing a modern man wouldn’t have desired. With digital devices booming around, we are given so many choices that our minds have been freed to a degree our ancestors could never anticipated.

That being said, to make sure technology doesn’t get in the way, you need to unplug from the information highway and share your journey with your family and friends from time to time. A balance between man and computers will lead to an ultimate happiness. (115 words)

【选“否”】

True, a high-tech world seems a new Eden, but it won’t last any longer than the old one. Putting down their phones, lifting up their misty eyes, and waking up at night, people suddenly realize that, with all their family living by, they are alone. Children forgot how and why they should return their parents’ love because it were never given; classic literature is left rotten on the shelves because no one bothers to look away from their screen.

To stop yourself getting ―high‖ instead of ―happy‖, read a book, go outdoors, or simply pay a visit to your parents. There are things to pursue in life other than thumbing up tweets. Enjoy a tech-free day and see what real happiness means. (122 words)

录音原文： Text 1

W: Hello, this is Dr. Maxwell’s office. My name is Tami. How may I direct your call?

M: I’d like to speak with Alison Simpson, please. (1) She’s a nurse there, but I believe she’s on her break now. It’s about our son Jimmy. Text 2

M: What time is your flight today?

W: Well, it was supposed to leave at 2:15 p.m., but the airline just called and told me it was delayed until 7:15 p.m. At least this way, I can take my time and have lunch at home. (2) Text 3

W: You like reading a lot, don’t you?

M: Yeah, I find it very relaxing. The one I’m reading now is really exciting. (3) W: It’s that good, huh?

M: Oh, yeah. Ever since I started reading it, I haven’t been able to put it down. Text 4

W: I’m sorry to call so early, but I wanted to let you know I’ve come down with something and won’t be able to come into work today. I should be fine by tomorrow afternoon.

M: No problem. We’re having an office party tomorrow night, so I hope you’re well enough to come! (4) Text 5

W: Bradley, this coffee tastes a little strange. What did you put in it?

M: It’s actually what I didn’t put in it, Rachel! We consume away too much sweet stuff these days. (5) It’s time for us to get back to natural flavors, don’t you think? Text 6

W: I’m here to pick up the flowers for Anna.

M: I’m sorry, but those won’t be ready for another two hours. (6)

W: She’s getting married in two hours! I need time to bring them back so that I can set them up before the guests come. (6) (7)

M: We haven’t even started putting them together yet. We told you on the phone they’d be ready by noon. It’s only 10:00. (7)

W: Is there another flower company that can deliver them in the next thirty minutes? M: I doubt it. Flower companies don’t normally do rush orders. Text 7

W: It’s nice and quiet out here in the countryside.

M: My grandpa used to take me fishing here when I was five.

W: My parents never took me anywhere when I was little. I guess we went to Los Angeles to visit my aunt and uncle a few times when I was in sixth and seventh grade. (8) But other than that, we just stayed at home.

M: It’s important to slow down and breathe some fresh air once in a while. W: Absolutely. So, what’s the plan for the rest of the day?

M: I figured we could go hiking and then have a picnic on the top of the hill. (9) W: Awesome! (9) Text 8

13

M: So, what do you want to study when you go to college, Megan?

W: I’m not sure, Mr. Sanders. My dad would be excited if I studied medicine, but that sounds too difficult. I’ve always been interested in art, but I’m not sure if I want to be a professional artist. M: Well, you could study art history. That was my wife’s major, you know. W: Really? What did you major in?

M: Oh, I always wanted to be a businessman, so that’s what I did in college. (10) It’s not for everyone, but I liked it. I wish I had taken some other classes, though. If you have a chance to learn about a bunch of different things and then make a decision, I think that would be your best bet. (12) W: That’s good advice, Mr. Sanders. Thanks!

M: My pleasure. If you want to talk more, come next door anytime you want. (11) W: I sure will. Thank you! Text 9

M: OK, your bill comes to thirty-six dollars.

W: Well, I never carry cash on me any more. Can I just Venmo it to you?(13) M: What does that mean?

W: Venmo is an app that you download for your smartphone. (13) It connects to your bank or a credit card, and you can transfer money to other people in about ten seconds.

M: What? That’s fast! I’ve used PayPal before, but it sometimes takes several minutes for the transfer to be completed. (14) Plus, they charge you a fee for sending the money.

W: Venmo is free if you use a checking account. But if you use a credit card, I think they charge you a small fee.

M: That’s cool. I never use my credit card, anyway. So, what can I do with the money once it’s there? Can I use Venmo at stores?

W: You still can’t use it at most restaurants and big chain stores, but a lot of smaller shops accept it. (15) It’s getting more popular all the time. M: All right, how can I sign up for Venmo?

W: Download the app from the App Store, and I’ll email you an invitation to join. (16) Text 10

Good morning! I’m Samuel Davis, and this is the ten o’clock news report. I hope everyone is having a fine Monday morning. It’s getting pretty wet out there, so grab an umbrella and stay dry! (17) I’m here today with Matt Miller, who has completed his 29,000-mile journey in just six weeks, with a total of 180 hours in flight. Beginning in California, he made twenty-five stops in fourteen different countries including England, Italy, Greece, Egypt, and Thailand. (18) His final trip was a sixteen-hour flight from Hawaii back to California, just half an hour less than his longest flight from Samoa to Hawaii. (19) Born in South Dakota, Matt is a freshman at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and has said that as a child he was scared of flying. All of that changed when he received his pilot license at just seventeen. After that, he only spent a few years planning everything out before beginning his journey around the world. Matt is here with us today for an interview. Welcome Matt! First, why don’t you tell all our listeners about the craziest thing you saw during your adventure? (20)
