the资料仅供参考questions by marking the corresponding letteron Answer Sheet 2.who*s really addicting you to Technology?A.Nearly everyone i know is addicted in somemeasure to the internet,n wrote tony Schwartzin The New York Times,its a commoncomplaint these days.A steady stream of similarheadlines accuse the net and its offspring apps,social media sites and online games of addictingus to distractionB.There*s little doubt that nearly everyone whocomes in contact with the net has difficultyconcentration than it takes to post a statusupdate,as one person ironically put it in thecomments section of Schwartzs online article,nAs I was reading this very excellent article.Istopped at least half a dozen times to cheek myemail.C.There*s something different about thistechnology:it is both invasive and persuasive.资料仅供参考but whos at fault for its overuse?To findsolutions,ifs important to understand whatwere dealing with.There are four partiesconspiring to keep you connected the tech,yourboss,your friends and you.D.The technologies themselves and their makers,are the easiest suspects to blame for ourdiminishing attention spans.NicholasCarr,author of The Shallows：what the internetis doing Our brains,wrote,The net is designedto be an interruption system,a machine gearedto dividing attention.E.Online services like Facebook,twitter and thelike,are called out of manipula-tion making,products so good that people can*t stop usingthem,after studying these products for severalyears,I wrote a book about how they do it.Ilearned it all starts with the business model,since these services rely on advertising revenue,The more frequently you use money theymake.Ifs no winder these companies employ资料仅供参考teams of people focused on engineering theirservices to be as engaging as possible,theseproducts aren*t habit-forming by chance;it*s bydesign,they have an incentive to keep ushooked.F.However,as good as these services are,thereare simple steps we can take to keep them atbay.For example,we can change how often wereceive the distracting notifications that triggerour urge to check.According to adam marchick,ceo of mobile marketing company kahuna,lessthan 15 percent of smartphone users ever botherto adjust their notification sellings meaning theremaining 85 percent of us default to the appmakers*every preset trigger.Google and Applehave made it far too difficult to adjust thesesettings so if s up to us to take steps ensure weset these triggers to suit our own needs,not theneeds of the app makers.G.While companies like Facebook harvestattention to generate revenue from advertisers,资料仅供参考other technologies have no such agenda,takeemail,for example,this system couldnt care lesshow often you use it.Yet to many,email is themost habit-forming medium of all.We checkemail at all hours of the day-were obsessed,butwhy?Because thafs what the boss wants.Foralmost all white-collar jobs,A slowResponse to a message could hurt not onlyyour reputation but also your livelihood.H.Your friends are also responsible.Think aboutthis familiar scene.People gathered around atable,enjoying food and each others company,there*s laughter and a bit of kidding.Then,during an interval in the conversation,someonetakes out their phone to check who knowswhat.Barely anyone notices and no one says athing.LNow imagine the same dinner,but instead ofchecking their phone,the person belches（打嗝）-loudly.Everyone notices,unless the meal takesplace in a beer house,this is considered bad资料仅供参考manners.The impolite act violates the basicrules of etiquette,one has to wonder why dontwe apply the same social norms to checkingphones during meals,meetings andconversations as we do to other antisocialbehaviors somehow,we accept it and saynothing when someone offends.J.The reality is taking ones phone out at thewrong time is worse than belching because,unlike other minor offense,checking tech iscontagious,once one person looks at theirphone,other people feel compelled to do thesame,starting a chain reaction,the more peopleare on their phones,the fewer people are talkinguntil finally you are the only one left not readingemail or checking twitter,from a societalperspective,phone checking is less like belchingin public and more like another bad habit,ourphones are like cigarettes-something to do whenwere bored or when our fingers need somethingto toy with seeing others enjoy a smoke,or sneak资料仅供参考a quick glance,is too tempting to resist and sooneveryone is doing it.K.The technology,your boss,and your friends,all influence how often you find yourself using(or overusing)these gadgets,but theres stillsomeone who deserves scrutiny the personholding the phone.L.I have a confession,even though i studyhabit-forming technology for a living,disconnecting is not easy for me.I*m online farmore than I*d like like Schwartz and so manyothers,I often find myself distracted and offtack.I wanted to know why so i beganself-monitoring to try to understand mybehavior,thafs when i discovered anuncomfortable truth,i use technology as anescape,when Tm doing something I*d rather notdo,or when I*m someplace Id rather notattention was often a good thing,like whenpassing time on public transportation,butfrequently my tech use was not so benign,when资料仅供参考i faced difficult work,like thinking through anarticle idea or editing the same draft for thehundredth time,for example,a more sinisterscreen would draw me in.i could easily escapediscomfort.temporarlly.by answering email orbrowsing ing the web under the pretense ofso-called*research.n though I desperatelywanted to lay blame elsewhere,i finally had toadmit that my bad habits had less to do withnew-age.technology and more to do withold-fashioned procrastination（拖延）M.ifs easy to blame technology for being sodistracting,but distraction is nothing new.Aristotle and Socrates dehated natureof uakrasia,9-our tendency to do things agninstour interests.If we*re honest with ourselves,tech is just another way to occupy our time andminds,if we werent on our devices.Wed likelydo similarly u
