Question

【题目】Answer the question (根据以下内容回答问题)

“It’s time to wake up, Emily,” my mom sings from the kitchen. I pretended to open my eyes. Why didn’t the alarm on my cellphone ring?

Soon, I realized it was April 8, the day for my program : “A day without technology.”I didn’t realize what I had gotten myself into until I was driving to school in my car. No radio blasting my favorite songs. I had to sing to myself.

As soon as I got to school, I went to the library to print out my English project from my flash drive. “Uh-oh,” I thought. “This isn’t expected.” Finally,I had to spend nearly an hour writing the report again.

The school day went on and I finally got used to the rules. This wasn’t so hard! I could do this every day.

I drove home in silence again, and my mind eventually went into after-school mode (模式),depending on what I would eat for supper and who would be voted off (被淘汰出局)American Idol later that night. The last thing I knew, I was chat with friends on Facebook, check email and watch a video on YouTube, all at the same time!

My mom walked in and her jaw dropped.

“What happened to nohomework?” she asked me. I froze for the second time that day and ordered myself to go back to reality. I had failed.

This experiment, which many teenagers would never have the courage to try, was actually convenient to me.Even though my attempt(尝试) at going about my day without these luxuries (奢侈品) was a failure, I realized that if I really tried,I would be completely successful without my addiction to technology.

These devices suddenly make my life easier, and I’m sure I wouldn’t practice getting rid of them altogether, but I do believe the lives of today’s teenagers would be dramatically different without our tech dependence.

【解析】

本文介绍了“我”的一个计划：没有科技产品的一天。尽管我失败了，但是“我”知道，如果我真的尽力去做，我会成功的。

【1】根据“It’s time to wake up, Emily,” my mom sings from the kitchen.以及Why didn’t the alarm on my cellphone ring?可知是妈妈叫Emily起床的，闹钟并没有响。此问题是一个选择疑问句，因此答案为Her mother.。

【2】根据the day for my program : “A day without technology.”冒号有解释说明的作用，解释前面的program。故答案为“A day without technology. ”。

【3】根据As soon as I got to school, I went to the library to print out my English project from my flash drive. “Uh-oh,” I thought. “This isn’t expected.”可知我想用闪存，但是今天是不用科技产品日，所以我不能使用闪存，只能用手写。故答案为Because it was a day without technology.。

【4】根据who would be voted off (被淘汰出局)American Idol later that night. The last thing I knew, I was chat with friends on Facebook, check email and watch a video on YouTube, all at the same time!可知“我”一般晚上会看美国偶像、在Facebook上和朋友聊天、查看邮件或者看YouTube上的视频。故答案为She usually watched American Idol, chatted with her friend on Facebook, checked email and watch a video on You Tube.（答出两个即可）。

【5】根据“What happened to nohomework?” she asked me. I froze for the second time that day and ordered myself to go back to reality. I had failed.可知Emily今天失败了。此问题是一个反意疑问句，因此回答应该是Yes, she did.。

【6】问题为：你想要的体验这样没有科技产品的一天吗？为什么？

本题是一个开放性题目，因此只要根据自己的想法回答。Any reasonable answer is acceptable.
