阅读理解 How would you go without your smartphone? For many of us, our smartphone is the first and last thing we look at every day. We depend on it to perform a number of tasks and connect with our friends and family. But have we become addicted to our phones? Certainly, the inventor of the first mobile phone, American engineer Martin Cooper, thinks we might be. In a BBC interview, he suggested people quit scrolling (刷屏) and "get a life". But of course, once we start scrolling or watching videos, we just can't kick the habit. Psychologist Jean Twenge says we feel regret for "checking our phone again and again if we're waiting for a text or getting really into social media then kind of, looking up and realizing that an hour has passed. " But does it matter if we make the most of this technology? Possibly, because like medicine, the problem appears when it is withdrawn. A study from King's College London found young people couldn't control the amount of time they spend on their phone. Such behaviour means that people become "anxious" or "upset" if they are not allowed to be on the phone continuously, which can cause anxiety and mental health problems. Interestingly, another study by the London School of Economics Science suggests we don't just look at our phones when we receive text or email messages. The people they studied felt an automatic (自动的) need to check their phone, just as a smoker would light a cigarette. One solution could be an app that rewards (奖励) students for time spent away from their phones. Another choice is changing your smartphone to a dumb phone that has none of the things that turn your attention away. But mainly, perhaps, we just need to look up more and reconnect with the real world! (1) What is Martin Cooper's attitude to focusing on smartphones? A . Uncaring. B . Doubtful. C . Unclear. D .
