21、 Constantly regret spending too much time on your phone but just cannot stop? You are not alone. Here are five tips from Prof. Mark Griffiths, psychologist and behavioral addiction expert at Nottingham Trent University to help you live well with your phone.
Step it down gradually
The urge to check your phone can become reflexive and habitual. For some, going a few minutes without checking their phone is difficult. If this sounds like you, try to go 15 minutes without doing it. Once you realize this is possible, increase the length of time you avoid checking to 30 minutes, an hour, and then a few hours, or a day.
Monitor usage
Download an app that will tell you how much time you're spending online. This could make you aware of a problem—the first step to a solution.
Buy an alarm clock
Don’t use your phone as an alarm, or you might be tempted(诱惑) to check texts and emails last thing at night and as soon as you wake up. Instead, ban phones from the bedroom. Designate bedtimes and mealtimes as smartphone-free zones. Consider buying a clock, so you're no longer tempted by emails and texts when you check the time.
Spring clean your contacts
How many online friends do you actually speak to? Reduce alerts and distractions by removing contacts on social networking sites, deleting unused apps, and unsubscribing from groups that offer little benefit. Consider deleting any games that are taking up a lot of your time.
Learn to wait
Be mindful of the benefits of not regularly checking your phone. People who react to messages as they arrive tend to write longer responses than those who wait and deal with them all as a block. Waiting will gain you time to spend on other activities.
【1】According to the passage, which of the following can help ban phones from the bed ?
A.Monitoring usage. B.Using a clock.
C.Cleaning contacts. D.Learning to wait.
【2】It can be learnt from the passage that_________.
A.games take up more time than other apps
B.reacting to messages in time is important
C.people are often tempted to use cell phones
D.people shouldn’t check emails by cell phones
【3】The purpose of the article is to_________.
A.introduce ways to manage phone usages
B.emphasize the harm of using cellphones
C.persuade readers to get rid of cellphones
D.explain multiple functions of cellphones

23、 I am a parent of a disabled teenager. My son is in and out of hospital and school. His learning disabilities and behaviour issues are a barrier for him, and he is teased on campus. At home, he swears and punches me.
He is on a waiting list for his disorder which contributes to his anxiety. Meanwhile, there are hospital appointments to manage, at least four consultants on the go, and an imminent transfer to adult services. The bureaucracy of caring keeps me busy.
I used to work in the theatre industry but had to quit when my son kept getting excluded from school. I never expected that my life would turn out like this. But now, amazingly, I am doing a PhD at a Russell Group university,looking at nonwhite protagonists in historical drama. It is fascinating: underrepresented characters!Hidden histories! Diversity!
I am starting to win awards for my research and I feel like a success story. Almost. There's just one problem: I can't get funding. I keep missing out on studentships and scholarships. These awards—which are mainly funded by research councils or universities directly—are worth about £14,000-£16,000 a year and usually include a fee waiver (saving a further £5,000). That's a lot of money.
But the funding tends to go to students half my age with straightA academic results—not to people like me, who have taken an unusual path to academia. When I was turned down for the last studentship I applied for, I asked why. The decision maker—a professor in my department and the head of a research institute—told me “it all comes down to excellent academic results”.
They don't say this on the application forms: it's all about the originality of your project, your research statement, your supervisor's supporting statement, the panel that considers you, the level of competition. But when it comes down to it, this is clearly what they want. Someone with my background is never going to get a studentship if the decisive criteria are undergraduate and master's results.
When I started my PhD and realised that I would need financial help, I went to the student advice office and told them that I am a carer. They asked what that meant and then offered me advice on benefits, but not funding. I went to the student union advice service—they referred me back to student advice. I went to the graduate school. Same response. I spoke to a vice dean and a chaplain. I had to tell them what a carer is. You get the picture. I was invisible. So I gave up, decided to apply annually for the studentships and kept my parttime job.
UCAS announced this year that young carers will now be able to identify themselves in their applications, so that universities will be able to support them. But how is this going to happen if staff at these institutions don't even know what a carer is?
The student welfare vicepresident at the union has finally agreed with me that carers are an undersupported and underrepresented group on campus. We are going to ask student records to add an option to the equality and diversity monitoring section, so that we can identify as carers and hopefully raise awareness. Wish us luck.

a. The author won awards for her research.
b. The author spoke to a vice dean and a chaplain.
c. The author decided to apply annually for studentships.
d. The author started her PhD.

24、THE BEST FILMS OF 2020
Wolfwalkers
Wolfwalkers is Tomm Moore’s most delightful animation. Its brave heroine is Robyn, the daughter of an English huntsman stationed in Ireland in the mid-1600s. He has the job of clearing the wolves from a forest near Kilkenny, but when Robyn goes exploring, she finds that one of those wolves can transform into a human girl. The girls' battles against destructive adults are exciting and fun, and every frame is a work of art.
Ammonite
Mary Anning, whose 19th-Century discoveries of fossils transformed palaeontology, although the credit went to men. Writer and director Francis Lee's romance finds Mary in middle age, scraping together a living in the seaside town of Lyme Regis.
The Personal History of David Copperfield
This joyous and endlessly inventive film by Armando Iannucci is a brilliant achievement that raises the expectation for Charles Dickens adaptations. And while Iannucci roots it firmly in the poverty and class system of Victorian England. BBC Culture’s review called it “a warm and lively David Copperfield for today”.
The Assistant
Structured as a day in the life, The Assistant stars Julia Garner as the lowly new employee who toils from before dawn until after dusk, answering phones, printing out scripts, unpacking bottles of water: imagine a more authentic, low-key companion piece to The Devil Wears Prada. The film looks beyond one man to focus on a wider corporate culture.
