It was a comfortable sunny Sunday. I was going to meet an old university friend I hadn't seen for years, and was really excited to hear all his news.

?? My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I'd forgotten it at home.

??? No mobile phone. I'm sure I'm not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don't have my phone with me. In fact, I know I'm not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.

That's according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.

??? It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.

Do you have nomophobia ?

· You never turn your phone off

· You obsessively check for texts, missed calls and emails· You always take your phone to the bathroom with you· You never let the battery run out

It's funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’.?? Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions would outnumber people across the world by the end of 2014.

?? And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it's time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?

?? So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven't changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.

? Not having it with me felt strangely liberating. Maybe I'll leave it at home on purpose next time.

China may send naval ships to the seas off Somalia to help the fight against piracy（海盗行为） there, Chinese media on Wednesday quoted a Vice Foreign Minister as saying at the United Nations, Reuters reported.

"China is seriously considering sending naval ships to the Gulf of Aden and waters off the Somali coast for escorting operations in the near future," the Xinhua news agency quoted He Yafei as saying. He Yafei, speaking at a Security Council ministerial meeting, said that China welcomed global cooperation in the fight against Somali piracy, and supported efforts by other countries to send ships to the region, Xinhua reported.

Earlier this month a leading Chinese military strategist, Major-General Jin Yinan, urged the government to send ships, in comments generating debate about combating piracy in a country which has generally confined its navy to waters near home. Jin told a Chinese radio interviewer that "nobody should be shocked" if his government one day decided to send navy ships to deal with the pirates, whose recent victims have included ships from Chinese mainland and Hong Kong. Jin is the head of a strategy institute at China's National Defense University.

While the military strategist is urging an active part, other scholars think the government should be cautious before a decision is made. The Chinese military ships should go there "only within the UN framework," said Pang Zhongying, a professor of international relations with Renmin University of China. Pang added that he also had some concerns over the Chinese navy's capability. "I don't think the Chinese navy has the capability to fight against unconventional threats far in the ocean," he said, adding supplying and refueling in the Indian Ocean are key challenges.

A sharp increase in attacks at sea this year in the busy Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean off Somalia has pushed up insurance costs, brought the Somali pirates tens of millions of dollars in ransom（赎金） and prompted foreign warships to the area. Among the captured ships are a Saudi supertanker loaded with $100 million of crude oil, the Sirius Star, and a Ukrainian cargo ship carrying some 30 Soviet-era tanks. The victims have also included a Hong Kong-flagged ship with 25 crew aboard and a Chinese mainland fishing boat reported seized off Kenya. NATO ships began anti-piracy operations off the Somali coast in late October, but they have failed to stop the attacks.

56. This year, many ships from different countries have been captured by the Somali pirates except _______.

A. a Saudi supertanker B. a Ukrainian cargo C.NATO ships D. the Sirius Star

57. The underlined word "confined" in the third paragraph most probably means ________.

A. involved B. restricted C. confirmed D. contract

58. From the passage, we learn that _______.

A. China has sent its navy to fight the Somalia pirates

B. some countries have launched their anti-piracy operations

C. the Somalia pirates often attacked foreign warships for ransom

D. The Chinese navy hasn’t the capability to travel far to combat pirates

59. When the Major-General Jin Yinan said "nobody should be shocked", he actually indicated that ________.

A. the Chinese people should keep calm about the government's decision

B. no one should be frightened by the pirates' attack as the Chinese navy will defend them

C. it is reasonable for China to send its navy to fight against the Somalia pirates

D. if China had dealt with the pirates earlier, nobody would have been shocked

60. Professor Pang Zhongying’s main concern about the Chinese naval ships is that _______.

A. adding supplying and refueling far in the ocean is really a challenge

B. the Chinese navy has never fought against such unconventional threats

C. the fighting against pirates is not within the UN framework

D. the attacks in the Gulf of Aden and Indian Ocean off Somalia has increased sharply
