6.When asked by Conan O'Brien if his daughters had smartphones,comedian Louis CK explained that he had (36)B replied,"No,you can't have it.It's bad for you.I don't (37)B what you want."This hit home for me because at the time,I was in difficult negotiations with my ten-year-old daughter (38)C one.And frankly,she was winning.CK added,"I'm not raising the (39)A---I'm raising the grown-ups that they're going to be.So just (40)D the other stupid kids have phones doesn't mean that my kid has to be stupid,or (41)A she'll feel weird."OK,I was sold.
Cell phones are"toxic,especially for kids,"he said,because they don't help them learn empathy,one of the nicer human (42)A.When we text,the (43)B we get is in cold,hard text-speak.Why are kids (44)C?he asked."Because they're trying it out.They look at another kid and go.‘You're fat.'Then they find the kid's unhappy,and they think,Ooh,that doesn't feel (45)C."There,they've experienced empathy.Texting"you're fat"allows you to bypass the pain you've caused.

"Everybody's murdering each other with their cars"as they text,CK screamed,because they fear being alone.Too bad-they're missing out on a life affirming experience.
"I was in my car one time,and Bruce Springsteen's‘Jungleland'came on,"he said."And he sounds so far away.It made me really sad.And I think,OK,I've got to get the phone and write hi to 50people.I was (52)D for the phone,and I thought,Don't!Just be sad."So CK (53)Cover and allowed himself to sob like a little girl (54)C that brand-new four-poster bed for her American Girl doll."It was beautiful.You're lucky to (55)Dsad moments,"he said.And because he didn't fight and push it away with that little phone,because he allowed himself to be miserable,his body released endorphins(内啡肽)."And that's why I don't want to get phones for my kids."CK said.And I suppose I don't either.
