We brought our daughter home in a car seat, and both dogs sniffed(嗅）and licked her, tails wagging. I had to pull Zack away from her because he wouldn’t stop licking her.

Do you find it difficult to put down your mobile phone?
If yes, you’re not alone. These days, many people suffer from the stress of FOMO (fear of missing out). They reach of their mobile phones when they wake up in the morning, and for the rest of the day, they constantly check their social media apps for the latest updates.
Despite the convenience smart phones bring, many people struggle with their digital habits. This is why Google introduced an app called Dashboard for Android operating system. This new app includes well-being functions that aim to help users manage the time they spend on their digital devices.
It all starts with a bird’s-eye view. Dashboard allows users to look at all the details of their phone habits. For example, a user can see how many times they’re unlocked their phone and how many times they’re checked their social media apps, as well as how much time they spend on each app every day.
Once the users see th is information, they’ll be able to make some changes. With the App Timer function, users can set a time limit for how long they can use each app for every day.
But even if users become more mindful of their usage, they’re still likely to be drawn in by notification（通知）. Such feature automatically（自动地）silences incoming calls and notifications when a user puts their phone face down.
If people truly want to make full use of their free time instead of losing hours using their smart phones, these new functions are just one way of doing that. The easiest answer would be just to use your willpower.
32．Who are the target users of Dashboard?
A． People who know little about smart phones.
B． People who have trouble dealing with stress.
C． People who are slow at researching of things online.
D． People who wish to manage the time they spend on their smart phones. 33．What can Dashboard do?
A． Lock the phone at a certain time. B． Limit some apps to certain users.
C． Limit the time certain apps can be used. D． Silence app notifications at night.
34．The underlined word “mindful” in Paragraph 6 is closest in meaning to ________. A． serious B． careful C． prepared D． creative 35．What does the author think of Dashboard?
A．It’s not very useful. B．It’s perfectly designed.
C． It should include more functions. D． It may be helpful to some people. 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分）

If your clear intention is to add a thousand or more new words to your present vocabulary--add them permanently, unforgettably-add them so successfully that you will soon find yourself using them in speech and writing, I advise you to take full advantage of this book by carefully following the laws of learning:
36．
Each chapter of this book may take one half hour to an hour and a half, depending
on the amount of material and on your own speed of learning. Do one or two chapters
at a time, and always decide when you stop exactly and when you will return.
Do not rush
37．Everyone learns at a different pace. Fast learners are no better than slow learners. It’s the end result that counts, not the time it takes you to finish.
Review
When you start a new chapter, go back to the last exercise of the previous chapter, cover your answer, and test your retention (记忆力). 38．
Test yourself
You are not aiming for a grade, or putting your worth on the line, when you take the three Comprehensive Test (Chapter 8, 13 and 17). 39．You are deciding where repairs have to be made. Especially, you are experiencing a feeling of success at work well done. Use these three tests, as well as the abundant drill exercises, as aids to learning. No one is perfect and no one learns in the exact same way.40．And then give yourself every opportunity to exploit your actual and potential abilities.
But most importantly, develop a routine and stick to it!
A． Remember to preview
B． Schedule your learning
C． Go at your own comfortable speed.
D． Actually you are discovering your weakness, if any.
E. Real learning goes on only through active participation.
F. Find your best technique and speed for your unique learning pa tterns.
G. Do you have quick recall after a day or you simply forget everything?
