Question

【题目】Dear Jason，

Happy birthday! You are now the proud owner of an iPhone. You are a good and responsible 14yearold boy and you can have this gift. But with the acceptance of this gift come some rules. Please read through the following list of rules. I hope that you understand it is my job to help you become a wellbehaved, healthy young man. If you fail to follow the rules, we will stop you from using it.

①If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello, and use your manners(礼貌). Do answer the phone if the screen reads “Mom” or “Dad”．

②It does not go to school with you. Have a conversation with your friends in person. That’s an important life skill. But field trips and afterschool activities will need special consideration(深思)．

③If it falls into the toilet, drops on the ground or disappears into thin air, you should pay for the repair costs or a new one. Accidents will happen, so you should be prepared.

④Turn it off, silence it or put it away in public, especially in a cinema. You are not a rude person, so do not allow your new toy to change that.

⑤Leave your phone at home sometimes. It is not alive, nor is it an extension(延伸) of your body. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than FOMO—fear of missing out.

⑥________. See the world happening around you. Look out of a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk.

If you mess up, I will take away your phone. We will sit down and talk about it. We will start over again. You and I, we are always learning. I am always in your team.
