Can You Make Short Phone Calls?

  Phones are very useful to us, and we can’t work without them.But phones also bring troubles.For example, a friend wants to tell you his or her latest health problem on the phone.You are very busy, so you have to cut your friend off.What will you say?

  When you answer a call, don’t ask questions like “How are things?” because these questions will make them think that you have time to talk longer.After “hello,” get right to the heart of the matter you want to say.

  When you make a call, you should call at the right time.If you call right before lunch or dinner, or at the end of the work day, people will not talk too much.

  When you call someone and do not want to talk longer, you may start with, “Hi, I’ve only got a few minutes, but I want to talk to you about…” or, “I’d like to talk more, but I only have a few minutes before I have to go.”

  If you don’t want to spend time talking to someone, you must say, “I’d like to talk to you longer, but I must say Goodbye.” Don’t wait for the answer.

  If someone does not stop talking and you have to leave, you can ask someone in your home to help you.For example, you signal to your father, and your father says loudly, “Mary, I think the bread is burning!”

    "Hi, Mommy, what are you doing?" asked Susie.
    "I'm making a dinner for Mrs Smith next door," said her mother.
    "Why?" asked Susie, who was only six years old."Because Mrs Smith lost her daughter and she has a broken
heart. We need to take care of her for a little while."
    "Why, Mommy?"
    "You see, Susie, when someone is sad, they have trouble doing the little things like making dinner. Because
Mrs Smith won't ever be able to talk with her daughter or hug her or do all those wonderful things that mommies
and daughters do together. Maybe you'll think of some way to help take care of Mrs Smith."

daughter and you're very very sad with a broken heart." Susie held her hand out. In it was a Band-Aid (创可贴).
"This is for your broken heart," Mrs Smith chocked back her tears. She knelt and hugged Susie. Through her
tears she said, "Thank you, darling girl, this will help a lot."

It’s Friday evening. My daughters, 3 and 9, sigh(叹息) when I gently take the iPads away from their laps. One by one, our screens are turned off. We light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.

Most people in our lives know they will not be able to contact us by using computer or moblie  phones for 24 hours. And so it has gone, every week for three years. We call it our “Technology Shabbat(科技安息日)" which lasts from sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

I first understood the importance of disconnecting in 2008, when my father was told that he

had got brain cancer. Some days he would have ony one good hour, and I wasn’t willing to be disturbed when I was with him, so I’d turn off my mobile phone.

Soon after, encouraged by National Day of Unplugging(全国断网断电日) on March 1st, my husband and I decided to unplug for one full day every week.

During our “Technology Shabbats”, time slows. Our Saturdays now feel like mini-vacations. We drive our car or ride our bike. We, with our kids, work in the garden, play board games and cook meals. I feel more balanced. I feel like a better mother, wife and person.

Keeping a balance between the good and the bad of technology is my lasting state. The technology we’ve created makes it possible for us to share knowledge and take in carious ideas all over the world. But the technology also take something away from us. When we stay up late at night linking(连接) from website to website or sending messages or e-mailing, we click again, and again, and again until we’ve overloaded(超负荷的).

When we rush into the time full of high technology, it's necessary for us to pay attention to what we are doing online and when we should go off.

I will always remember the most important thing in my family: “Technology Shabbat".

1. When is “Techtwhgy Shabbat' in the writer's family?

A. Only on Sunday.

B. From sunset on Friday to sunset on Saturday.

C. Only on Friday.

D. From sunset on Saturday to sunset on Sunday.

2. The writer's family have “Technology Shabbat" every week mainly becausc they hope to ______.

A. save energy 

B. enjoy life together

C. stay away from others

D. follow National Day of Unplugging

3. What do the writers family NOT do during their “Technology Shubbats”?

A. They drive their car or ride bikes for mini-vacations.

B. They light the candles and sit down to have a big meal.

C. They work in the garden, play board games and cook meals.

D. They stay up late at night linking from website to website.
