21、One day, a raven(大乌鸦) happened to fly past a lake. Looking at the lake, he saw the most beautiful animal he had ever seen. It was a swan (天鹅) and its feathers(羽毛) were as white as snow. The swan was playing with other birds happily, talking and dancing. And it seemed that the other birds all liked to stay with it. When he looked at his own feathers, they were as black as coal. The raven was very angry with the swan.“How can the swan have such wonderful feathers?” said the raven. What should he do with his feathers? He thought it over and over.

Then, the raven decided that he also wanted to have white feathers like the swan’s. From that day on, the raven began to live like the swan. He moved his home from the woods to the lake. He also started to eat water plants like the swan. He tried his best to talk and dance with the other birds. The most important was that each day, the raven would wash his feathers, hoping that they would turn white. Even he went to the nearby rivers and ponds to wash his feathers because he thought the water in the lakes was not enough for him to wash them. But no matter how hard he washed his feathers, they remained black.

As he ate only water plants, he soon grew thinner and thinner. Not many days later, the raven died.

22、

Are You Distracted （注意力分散的） by Technology?

According to Daily Mail, people spend 8 hours and 41 minutes on electronic devices（电子设备）on average every day. There is no doubt that people are getting more dependent on technology as time goes by. The only question is: are you too distracted by it?

Well technology can be a distraction only when people fail to use it responsibly. When a responsible person uses cellphones, tablets（平板电脑）, laptops and other devices, technology has brought many positive effects to the daily life.

For starters, technology has greatly increased the efficiency of our daily life. We use computers to shop, code, buy tickets, and do many other things. We can check our emails from any place. It makes us keep in touch with family and friends without any trouble.

Technology also serves as a useful tool to get information. It can help us find out almost every piece of information we need. A survey by Pew Research Center showed that 62% of smartphone owners in the U. S. have used their devices to find information about health conditions; 57% relied on their phones to do online banking; and 30% of them have taken a class on a smartphone during 2019.

However, there are people who hold different opinions. They think using technology can be addictive. Some children keep playing computer games and don't know when to stop. Also, young people are turned into slaves of consumerism（消费主义的奴隶） because they are flooded with topics about fitness, fashion models, make-up, movie stars, etc. These topics can serve as a distraction from studying. But think about it, didn't children in the past have their own distraction?

Before the age of technology, the street was a distraction. Parents were worried about how long children spent playing outside. Young people always find their ways to get their minds off schoolwork. It's not the fault of modern technology.

In conclusion, we cannot even imagine living without our smartphones, tablets and laptops. We need technology to connect to the rest of the world and get useful information. Whether we allow ourselves to be controlled by technology or we stay strong to fight against the addiction to it — that's something we should all decide for ourselves.

【1】Why does the writer mention the average time people spend on electronic devices?

A.To lead in the topic. B.To stress its importance.

C.To criticize the behavior. D.To explore its influence.

【2】In paragraph 4, the writer uses a survey by Pew Research Center to show __________.

A.we can check our emails from any place in the world

B.technology serves as a useful tool to get information

C.people in the US are more likely to take online classes

D.smartphone owners spend too much time on their phones

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A.People are getting less dependent on technology as time goes by.

B.Technology has helped us keep in touch with others more easily.

C.Parents do not allow their children to play outside on the street.

D.Young people hate schoolwork because of modern technology.

【4】The writer probably agrees that __________.

A.technology always brings positive effects to our daily life

B.children nowadays have the same distraction as they did in the past

C.it is actually very easy to live without smartphones, tablets and laptops

D.we should be responsible for our behaviors when using technology
