Has this happened to anyone else? Perhaps this was how my own mother felt when she picked up the wall-mounted (固定 在墙上的) phone that could reach any room in the house, only to hear my voice chatting with my friend. Remember those days when we all shared one home phone? As a child, I would frequently visit a friend whose mother lived on her phone. I would wait and wait to make a call to my parents to ask for a ride home. Sadly, even though I am now a woman who is far closer to 40 than to 30 , I am still waiting to use the phone. My husband and I are Generation Xers, fighting our way through a world filled with TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter. We've tried to search through the latest parenting advice from experts and medical research available on the use of screens by young children. Finally, we agreed that 13 was the best age for our children to gain access to these technological wonders. However, the COVID-19 pandemic hit. The world changed, and so did my phone. While during the lockdown, my phone acquired Zoom, Marco Polo and countless other apps that allowed my children to connect with their friends. All of our family, my husband and I included, were longing for meaningful connections with friends. So I arranged Zoom meetings for my kids, and then my phone began to disappear for hours as they shared Marco Polo videos back and forth with their friends. Even though I'm frequently annoyed because my phone has walked off again, my heart is ultimately full. My kids and I are sharing. We're learning to co-exist, to set boundaries, and to think of each other first. Because of my phone, I' involved in my kids "lives, I know their friends. their habits, their favorite apps and photos they-have taken. Sharing my phone may be difficult, but it's rewarding; it builds another layer of connection between us. 21 . How does the author introduce the topic of the text? A. By posing a question. B.

What benefit does the author get from the experience during the lockdown? A. Having a deeper connection with her children. B. Establishing a new link with the outside. C. Taking to exploring new apps. D.Making lots of friends online. B Many of us are disgusted at spiders or afraid of them. We don't like to touch them or go near them, and if we see one in our house, we'd better watch out. But do you know that a spider's natural color may inspire a new shade of blue textiles and offer a solution to the glare on the screen of your phone when you're out in the sun? This color is a shade of blue, inspired by the cobalt blue tarantula (钴蓝 狼蛛) - a species of spider that is native to the rainforests of southeast Asia. What surprised scientists who observed the eight-legged furry spider was that its color did not change at all even when viewed from different angles. A team of scientists, led by Bill Hsiung from the University of Akron in Ohio, have been studying tarantulas for some time. Blue is a rare color in the animal kingdom, so the researchers set out to find the exact nature of this blue. They found that the outer body of the tarantula is covered with tiny crystalline (晶体的) structures. These tiny structures act like a mirror and when light strikes them, they reflect only one particular wavelength of light - blue. This kind of natural color is referred to as the "structural color". Usually, when colors are viewed from different angles, they appear different because of how light is reflected. This is because of a phenomenon known as iridescence (彩虹色). However, the blue color produced by tarantulas appears the same from all angles. Scientists find that it is the tiny crystal structures on the tarantula's body arranged in a flower-like shape that reduce iridescence. Scientists have known about structural colors for a while, but they have not seen them used for dye. With a clearer understanding of how "structural colors" work, scientists can now create a similar to the tarantula blue to dye textiles and other products. Watch out for the tarantula blue-a color that may soon take the fashion industry by storm! 24. What is special about the cobalt blue tarantula? A. Its body color is unchangeably blue.

To discuss the importance of reflection angles to colors. 26. What can be a suitable ti
