五、完成图表。根据短文内容,完成图表中所缺信息。
Thanks to the development of technologies， our life is much easier and more convenient than the past. We can simply pay with our phones and we don't have to wait for a long time before buying things. But sometimes I wonder whether we depend on those technologies so excessively(过分地) that we can't live a normal life without them. For example， many people use their phones and computers so much that they don't know how to write with the pens. Some other people just watch Douyin and other apps with videos all the time and they forget how to read Chinese characters on books. But in my mind， the biggest problem is people's weakness in communication.
If you always go outside， you may often use Baidu or other maps on your phone. You write the address directly on your phone and then you can get the result after pressing “Search”. But what can you do if you forget to bring your phone one day? You think you can just ask a stranger about the direction. And do you know how to start the conversation?
Does it start directly with the question， with “Hey”， or with “Excuse me”? You may know the correct answer now， but you may forget it in real life.
We all like to talk to our friends in WeChat， and its emojis(表情符号) interest many of us because that saves our time. In fact， the emojis are so popular that many young people use them all the time when talking to their teachers， parents and other elders. Polite elders may ask you what the emojis mean， but other elders may get angry and shout at you. This may cause both of you to be angry. You're unhappy because they don't understand you. The elders are unhappy because you don't respect them. So who is wrong?

答案： convenience; Thoughts/Opinions; different abilities; taken the place of/replaced; ask for directions politely
