第19期语料详解 （含音频）

Cell phones have insinuated their way into our lives and are now integral.

In daily life, cell phones are superb scheduling and communication dev ices. Without them, we would be total wrecks . Apps like calendars, notes and alarms are respons­ible for re­mind­ing people of im­port­ant dates and events, or wak­ing them up in the morn­ing. FaceTime, email, and other social networking apps help us to stay connected with family and friends.

However, living without cell phones can also have some benefits. Phones overschedule and over regiment our lives, which robs us of opportunities. This near-universal access to cell phones, starting at ever younger ages, transfixes people in ways that can have negative effects on almost all aspects of life. Without them, we don't feel compelled to check our phones every minute. We can once again simply live in and enjoy the moment.
