They spend a lot of time playing games, seeing movies, or reading novels on their smart phone, and thus communicate with their family and friends less. Without phone in hand, they will feel anxious and don’t know what to do. As we know, too long screen time is not good for health. It does great harm to our neck and eyes. Besides, focusing on mobile phone entertainment can affect students’ study. It can also be very dangerous if you do it when crossing a street. ‎ I think young people should spend more time doing sports or being with their family and friends. They should also pay more attention to their studies. If they fill their time this way, they won’t have too much spare time to think about phone entertainment.‎ ‎2016年安庆市中考模拟考试（一模）‎ 英语试题听力材料 I. 关键词语选择 ‎ ‎1. He has been ill for two weeks.

He may just want you to listen and be a good listener, instead of giving advice. Don’t think that everyone wants your advice. You may have some ideas about problems, but you really need to listen to a person for a very long time to understand the situation first. If, and only if, your friend actually needs advice should you then give it.‎ It is great to be asked for advice, but it is also a big thing. Good advice can help people make good decisions or find the right way to live, while bad advice can have bad effects. Fortunately, you can give good advice if you think before giving it to people.‎ V. 信息转换 ‎ In modern life, we have machines. These machines are very useful and helpful. They can make some things better and faster. A washing machine can help us wash clothes quickly. We'll have much time to do what we want to do. A printing machine prints a lot of books, newspapers, and other things fast. Buses, bikes, cars, trains, planes and ships help us travel faster than walking. The computer is a wonderful machine. It's one of the most important inventions for years. It can store information and work out math problems many times faster.‎
