My name is Amy. I’m a 25-year-old graduate student who likes yoga, home-decorating shows and eating spoonfuls of peanut butter   1  from the jar. Oh yeah, and I’m an iPhone addict.
I wasn’t always an addict. In fact, for many years I told myself I didn’t want a   2       cellphone. They seemed like too much work, always beeping, ringing and   3  attention. I was   4  content with my simple antique (古董，此处指旧手机), and I didn’t expect to change my mind any time soon.
However, about a year ago, I found myself envious of all those proud iPhone owners, cradling their shiny new phones and   5  all their friends. I started listening secretly to conversations about “iPhone apps”, feeling like a   6  listening to a language I couldn’t speak.
Eventually I couldn’t   7  my iPhone instinct (本能) any longer, and I welcomed my new iPhone into my life.
To my surprise, I suddenly found myself with a whole new circle of friends. They   8     my iPhone-related inquiries when my other friends couldn’t, and didn’t   9  when I bragged about (吹嘘) all the things little Eloise (yes, I named her) could do.
However, I realized I had a problem when one day I found myself Google-mapping my way to my mailbox, which happens to be right outside my front door.
When I   10  the past few months, I couldn’t believe I didn’t see this coming. All the   11  signs were there. Eloise slept right beside me and was the first thing I   12 in the morning. I   13  my e-mail about 20 times a day. I also experienced   14  when I left poor Eloise in the change room at the gym.   15  she beeped and needed my response?
Okay, so I was addicted to my iPhone.
I decided   16  had to be done. But, as I quickly realized, iPhones are like   17  and not easy to quit.
Then, while taking the bus to work one day, I was   18  forced to quit—at least   19 . When I reached into my purse to grab Eloise, (to refer to my e-mail for only the seventh time that morning), I found her   20  by fever. She was so hot that I dropped her immediately back into my bag. When I picked her up again, she was gone.
