If you need to call your parents but your phone is not with you, can you remember their numbers?

To remember 11 numbers is not difficult. However, because of the smartphone, many of us are losing this ability, Record Japan reported.

What’s more, smartphones weaken our skills at giving directions as well as it’s common for most of them to check their phones.

According to a report by Kleiner Perkins Caufield Byers, an American company, Chinese people spend on average 170 minutes on their smartphones daily.

For students, an addiction(沉溺) to smartphones does no good for studying. Research by Japan’s Education Ministry shows that children who spend more than four hours a day on their phones perform much worse in school tests than those who play with their phones for 30 minutes a day.

It’s true that the smartphone has made our lives easier. But many also think they spend too much time on it, and this is bad for their study or work. People are trying to change that.

A new app called Forest was introduced this month. It lets users plant a seed(种子) that grows into a tree over the next 30 minutes . During the half hour, users cannot use their phones, or the tree will die.

A restaurant in Los Angeles, US, gives people a 5 percent discount(折扣) if they don’t check their phones during a meal. Owner Mark Gold said that he hoped it could give people a way to enjoy their meal and actually talk with friends and family in person.

When the teacher asks a question in class,Wang Xiaobin never raises his hand and this situation is very common at middle schools.This 15-year-old boy always waits for other classmates or the teacher to give the answer.“What if my answer is wrong?”Wang asks.

Wang said only six or seven students in his class raise their hands when a question is asked.(18)“I think it’s a problem that may affect(影响)our studies,but I am afraid of making mistakes in front of my classmates.”he said.

When we asked the teacher, Hu Wei, why the students didn’t raise their hands,he said:”They lack(缺乏) of confidence,they are afraid of showing off,or they’re afraid of losing face by giving wrong answers.”

To encourage students to raise their hands in class,Hu suggests that teachers should repeat the question , then try to guide and encourage students to offer their answers.(19)Hu also advises students not to be shy,but brave enough to try.

Sun Pin,16 of Fujian,always raises her hand as soon as she comes up with the answer,even if she isn’t sure she has got it right.Sun can’t understand why some of her classmates keep silent in class.She enjoys raising her hand a lot.“It keeps me enthusiastic(热情的)and confident to express my idea. ” Sun said,“Raising my hand has really made me excellent.”
