1．A quarter of the world's humans are at home right now.If you're reading this，chances are that you're one of them.Yes，it's important to stay safe indoors to protect ourselves and others，but that doesn't mean you can't have a good time.We will create an endless list of things to do indoors.Stick with us and we promise you won't be bored for a second.
Catch up on literary classics
You know that pile of books that you haven't ever quite managed to get into？There'll never be a better time to conquer it.And if you've already exhausted your library，you can now access more than a million books for free online as part of the 'National Emergency Library'.Usually，you'd have to join a queue before being able to borrow anything.But now you can just dip into whatever you want，whenever.
Join a virtual choir
If the videos of cities in lockdown coming together to sing on their balconies left you with a lump in your throat，here's your chance to add your sound to one of several online choirs popping up around the world.The Sofa Singers is a free online singing event that aims to 'bring people together from around the world to promote joy and human connection'.It involves hundreds of singers joining a Zoom call and learning a new song together.
Form new bonds with your neighbours
In normal times，you might not be the type to actually talk to your neighbours.But let's be honest：your social life's a wreck right now，and you're going to make friends with the people next door，no matter what.So why not take inspiration from Balcony Parties In Miami，or the Londoner Hosting Athletic Classes On His Doorstep？Go on，get social - in a distant kind of way，of course.

2．We never know when we will do something greater.But it usually happens when we least expect it.When John Kinney turned up at Gloria Scott's house in Woburn，Massachusetts，he thought he was there to repair the 72-year-old woman's lights.

3．You know the feeling -you have left your phone at home and feel anxious，as if you have lost your connection to the world． "Nomophobia"（无手机恐惧症）affects teenagers and adults alike．You can even do an online test to see if you have it．Last week，researchers from Hong Kong warned that nomophobia is infecting everyone．Their study found that people who use their phones to store，share and access personal memories suffer most．When users were asked to describe how they felt about their phones，words such as "hurt" （neck pain was often reported） and "alone"
predicted higher levels of nomophobia．
"The findings of our study suggest that users regard smartphones as their extended selves and get attached to the devices，" said Dr．Kim Ki Joon． "People experience feelings of anxiety and unpleasantness when separated from their phones．" Meanwhile，an American study shows that smartphone separation can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure．
So can being without your phone really give you separation anxiety？Professor Mark Griffiths，psychologist and director of the International Gaming Research Unit at Nottingham Trent University，says it is what is on the phone that counts -the social networking that creates Fomo （fear of missing out）．
"We are talking about an internet-connected device that allows people to deal with lots of aspects of their lives，" says Griffiths． "You would have to surgically remove a phone from a teenager because their whole life is ingrained in this device．"
Griffiths thinks attachment theory，where we develop emotional dependency on the phone because it holds details of our lives，is a small part of nomophobia．For "screenagers"，it is Fomo that creates the most separation anxiety．If they can't see what's happening on Snapchat or Instagram，they become panic-stricken about not knowing what's going on socially． "But they adapt very quickly if you take them on holiday and there's no internet，" says Griffiths．
（1）Which of the following may Dr．Kim Ki Joon agree with？
A．We waste too much time on phones．
B．Phones have become part of some users．
C．Addiction to phones makes memories suffer．
D．Phones and blood pressure are closely linked．
（2）According to Griffiths，we get nomophobia because．
A．we are accustomed to having a phone on us
B．we need our phones to help us store information
C．we worry we may miss out what our friends are doing
D．we fear without phones we will run into a lot of trouble
（3）Which of the following phrase has the closest meaning to the underlined phrase "ingrained in" in Paragraph 4？
A．relied on
B．opposed to
C．approved of
D．determined by
（4）Where can you probably find the above passage？
A．In a research report．
B．In a fashion brochure．
C．In a science textbook．
D．In a popular science magazine．组卷：4引用：2难度：0.7
