6.Phantom vibrations──the phenomenon where you think your phone is vibrating but it's not──have been around since the mobile age.Today,they're so common that researchers have devoted studies to them.
For Valerie Kusler,who works on a cattle farm,the feeling is complicated by the cows."The cows'moo is very muffled,it kind of sounds like…errrrrr,"she says,"So that's very similar to what my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my desk or in my purse."
Other people may not confuse cows for their phones,but research shows phantom vibration symptom is a near-universal experience for people with smartphones.
Nearly 90percent of college undergraduates in a 2014study said they felt phantom vibrations.The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers,who reported feeling phantom vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis.
"Something in your brain is being triggered(触发) that's different than what was triggered just a few short years ago,"says Dr Larry Rosen,a research psychologist who studies how technology affects our minds.
"If you'd asked me 10years ago,or maybe even five years ago,if I felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was,and asked me what I would do,I'd reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing(神经元刺激),"he says.Now,of course,the itch triggers him to reach for his phone.Rosen says it's an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information.
"We're seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior.People who are constantly picking up their phone look like they have an obsession.They don't look much different from someone who's constantly washing their hands.I'm not saying that it is an obsession,but I'm saying that it could turn into one,very easily,"Rosen says.
While 9out of 10participants in the study of college students said the vibration feeling bothered them only a little or not at all,Rosen still recommends backing away from our phones every once in a while to keep our anxiety levels down.
"One of the things I'm really adamant about in spite of being very pro-technology,is just away from the technology for short periods,"Rosen says,"And by short periods,I mean; maybe just 30minutes or an hour."
63.According to the article,phantom vibrationsD.
A.are mainly caused by neurons firing
B.affect people mostly working on farms
C.help our brains better process information
D.have started troubling people in recent years
64.The underlined word"adamant"in the last paragraph probably meansB.
A.curious  
B.determined  
C.satisfied  
D.cautious
65.It can be concluded from Larry Rosen's research thatA.
A.phantom vibrations could probably result in obsessive behavior
B.the use of smartphones has completely changed the way our minds work
C.most people feel uncomfortable when they experience phantom vibrations
D.hospital workers are more likely to suffer from phantom vibrations than students
66.According to Larry Rosen,the most effective measure against phantom vibrations is toC.
A.move to a quieter neighborhood
B.stop using smartphones in poor condition
C.take a break from using smartphones occasionally
D.keep a close watch on your anxiety levels.

4.In March 1987,I started a new magazine called Creating Excellence.It was a very proud moment for me.I'd worked hard for over a year to create it,and the premiere issue (首次发刊) was a real success.
Shortly after we had mailed 25,000copies,I received one in the mail.But this one wasn't as beautiful as the ones we'd sent out.It was marked in red ink correcting the grammatical errors (语法错误) in it.A talented editor had read it carefully and found more errors than I could have imagined.
I felt abashed.A magazine called Creating Excellence should be perfect in its content (内容).The stories were good,but the errors this woman had found showed that our magazine was far from being excellent.
At first,I was not satisfied with my editor for not having avoided the mistakes,and dissatisfied with the woman who seemed to have taken pleasure in pointing them out.Later,I was dissatisfied with myself for not having employed a better editor.
Then I realized that I had to face up to my mistake.I called the talented editor.I thanked her for taking the time to read our magazine so carefully.Painful as it was,I accepted responsibility for it.
Then I offered her the job of editing our magazine.The result was a great improvement in it; we could now be very proud of our magazine.
From this I learnt that an upsetting moment can be an opportunity to see the truth,and it can help to prevent one making the same mistakes,and to make"excellence"a reality.

29.What does the underlined word"abashed"in the third paragraph mean?B
A.Excited.
B.Embarrassed.

30.What do we learn about the woman who found the errors in the magazine?D

B.She liked pointing out the errors of others.
C.She contributed a lot to the success of the premiere issue.
D.She ended up joining the magazine team.

D.Accepting responsibility for one's errors can lead to real excellence.
