Owning a smartphone may not be as smart as you think．They may let you surf the Internet，listen to music and snap photos wherever you are．．．but they also turn you into a workaholic，it seems．A study suggests that，by giving you access to emails at all times．the all-singing．all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day．

Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles．The study by technology retailer Pixmania，reveals the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours，but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails，or making work calls．Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails．Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day，with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours．Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up，while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night．

Ghadi Hobeika，marketing director of Pixmania，said：“The ability to access literally millions of apps，keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smartphones valuable for many people．However，there are drawbacks．Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day，seven days a week，and smartphones mean that people literally cannot get away from work．The more constantly in contact we become。The more is expected of us in a work capacity．”

1.The text is probably taken from___________．

A．a scientific report

B．a financial report

C．a newspaper

D．a literary journal

2.The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph probably means_________．

3.Ghadi may agree that___________．

A．employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a day

B．the ability to access many apps made smartphones worthless

C．smartphones might turn a person into a workaholic

D．people literally cannot get away from work without smartphones

4.What is the main idea of this passage？

A．Smartphones are lengthening working hours

B．Smartphones are becoming valuable for many people

C．Britons work art additional 460 hours a year on average

D．Smartphones are more beneficial to our life than we think

Dear David，

I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me．It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life，just before you’re about to become a father．You are asking：will I make a good father？How will I cope?

Should I have brought another little person into the world? Can l provide for it? Help! I think nearly every sensitive about-to-be-parent must have these occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy(不适)before the birth and it would be most unusual if you didn't share them．It's difficult，honestly，to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to．

The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home．But as he walks through the office door，and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff looking to him for Advice，he grows into a fully mature man．And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel，as we age，a kind of progression of states，from the baby to the adult．Most people feel，on Tuesday，about three years old，and on a Wednesday，around 80．

There's a common remark that “all men are little boys”，but it's not true．It's more true that men often behave like little boys．But nearly all people，at some moments in their lives，are capable of groat maturity．

Once your baby arrives，you’ll soon feel less childlike，or rather，less often．When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug，the adult in you will rise up to prevent it．You’ll see

you have very little in common with a needy child，particularly if it's looking to you for comfort and support．

Comfort yourself，David，with two truths．One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they，like you，feel frightened．And remember that people who haven't grown up don’t go around talking about the fact that they don’t feel grown-up．

Hope my advice will be helpful and good luck to you and your little one．

Yours sincerely

Miss Advice

Mark and his brother Jason both were looking at the shining new computer enviously．Jason was determined not to go against their father's wishes but Mark was more adventurous than his brother．He loved experimenting and his aim was to become a scientist like his father.

“Dad will be really mad if he finds out you've been playing with his new computer.”Jason said，“He told us not to touch it.”

“He won't find out，” Mark said，“I'll just have a quick look and shut it down.”

Mark had been scolded before for touching his father's equipment．But his curiosity was difficult to control and this new computer really puzzled him.

It was a strange?looking machine—one his dad had brought home from the laboratory where he worked.“It's an experimental model，” his father had explained，“so don't touch it under any circumstances.” But his father's warning only served to make Mark more curious．Without any further thought，Mark turned on the power switch．The computer burst into life and seconds later，the screen turned into colors，shifting and changing and then two big white words appeared in the center of the screen：“SPACE TRANSPORTER.”

“Yes！” Mark cried excitedly，“It's a computer game．I knew it！Dad's only been pretending to work．He's really been playing games instead.” A new message appeared on the screen：“ENTER NAMES

VOYAGER 1：...

VOYAGER 2：...”

Mark's fingers flew across the keyboard as he typed in both of their names.

“INPUT ACCEPTED.START TRANSPORT PROGRAM．AUTO?RETRIEVE INITIATED(自动回收程序已启动)．”

The screen turned even brighter and a noise suddenly rose in volume.

“I think we'd better shut it off，Mark，” Jason yelled，reaching for the power switch．He was really frightened.

But his hand never reached the switch．A single beam of dazzling white light burst out of the computer screen，wrapping the boys in its glow(光芒)，until they themselves seemed to be glowing．Then it died down just as suddenly as it had burst into life．And the boys were no longer there．On the screen，the letters changed.

“TRANSPORT SUCCESSFUL.DESTINATION: MARS.RETRIEVE DATE：2025.”

2.Where did the boys' father most likely work?
