18．When I opened the box at my 12th birthday party，I couldn't believe my eyes．I had really gotten a mobile phone!
As soon as I got to my school the next morning I（16）Doff my phone and asked everyone for their（17）A．
It felt like I didn't even exist in that class any more．I wouldn't pay much attention to the teachers because I was too busy on my（18）C．Luckily I didn't get（19）Ausing it．I was pretty sure that the teacher didn't（20）Bthat I stopped paying attention to her（21）Da week later we took a test and I failed．To make matters（22）C，my mom had to sign the test．
It was hard to show my mom the（23）D．She was used to seeing As and Bs on my tests．Well，at last，I showed her and she couldn't（24）Ait．She was angry．
Weeks passed and my parents started to （25）Bthe fact that I had a phone．They would say，"We have noticed that you never pay attention to us．It's like you have your own little （26）Cnow and we don't communicate as much with your phone．"
I acted like they were wrong，but then I started to wonder if it was true that I was spending too much （27）Aon the phone．A week later I tried（28）Ca whole day without a phone．I had so much（29）Cbecause I was actually spending time with my family and paying attention to them．From that day，I had a different opinion towards phones．
Phones really take you away from the rest of the world．I'm not saying that phones are（30）Band not to use them，but you do have to spare some time to spend with your family．My phone took away time from my homework and from my family．I will keep using my phone，but I will have it under better control．
