Ⅰ. 阅读理解
A middle school in the US is forcing its students to stay disconnected in class by prohibiting cellphones. The principal put forward the phone ban after he noticed some major issues in the school. “Our test scores were down,” he says. According to him, students were too distracted by their phones to focus on school. So, he purchased special pouches (小袋) for the school.
When students come to class each morning, they place their phones in the pouches, which are then locked up tight. So they have no access to phones at all. The pouches can only be opened using a special device at the end of the day. In case of emergency, parents or guardians can reach their children by calling the school.
Two eighth-graders say that they noticed a change in a matter of hours. “It's just better for everyone because you'll understand how it feels to get more work done instead of paying attention to the phone,” says one student. “I'm usually listening to music, but today I got to communicate with all my friends,” says the other one.
The program was originally met with resistance from students and parents, so the process was not that smooth. But teachers and administrators say that the program will have a major impact.
One teacher says she even noticed students bouncing ideas off each other in class. She says students used to throw in the towel quickly and just rely on their phones to look for answers, but now they try to figure the answers out themselves.
The middle school is currently the only one in the district to use these pouches. The principal also told other schools in the community that it's worth paying close attention to cellphone issues in secondary schools and taking action when necessary.
