If

the

punished

addiction,

be

in

prison

by

them,

Our

hands

and

minds

are

D. must have begun

37

: texting, tweeting, liking, emailing, sharing. We find ourselves

38

stimulated(

刺激

).

My iPhone is the last thing I look at when I go to bed and the first

thing I look at when I

39

. When it’s not there I feel its

40

like an amputee(

被截肢者

) still feeling a(n)

41

leg. It is my entry to culture and fun. I love it. You love yours.

But the comment on this enormous

42

in our behavior has been completely

43.

The central claim is that technology make us

44

what we already know about life, and

it 45

us developing fully independent selves. And the quality of human relationships is said

to

have

46

.

Parents

are

distracted

by

work

emails

at

the

dinner

table

and

in

the

playground; children cry for

47

until they finally get an iPad for Christmas. Gatherings

of

old

friends

can’t

do

a

couple

of

hours

48

checking

their

Gmail

every

10

minutes.

Technology sucks the life out of us, and takes our souls in

49

for the convenience of

not having to learn how to read maps properly.

I

simply

do

not

50

the

idea

that

we

aren’t

fully

whole

due

to

our

phones,

just

because

we

can

talk

to

our

friends

whenever

we

want,

without

any

51

for

the

limitations

that

space

and

52

used

to

set

on

us.

This

helps

us

to

get

It

doesn’t set us apart.

we will film. We will photograph. We will edit. We will

55

, like, love

and envy. Finally, in our own strange way, we will control our heavily doctored lives.

A

An eclipse happens when one heavenly body such as a moon or planet passes into the shadow

of

another

heavenly

body.

There

are

two

types

of

eclipses

on

Earth:

lunar

eclipses

and

solar

eclipses.

The moon orbits Earth and, at the same time, Earth orbits the sun. Sometimes Earth moves

between the sun and the moon. When this happens, Earth blocks the light from the sun. This is an

eclipse of the moon

—

a lunar eclipse. A lunar eclipse can occur only when the moon is full and can

be seen from Earth at night.

There are two types of lunar eclipses: total lunar eclipses and partial lunar eclipses.

A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon and the sun are on exact opposite sides of Earth.

The moon is in E

arth’s shadow and the sunlight passes through Earth’s atmosphere, which causes

Earth’s atmosphere to filter or block out most of the blue light. However, a partial lunar eclipse

happens when only a part of the moon enters Earth’s shadow. What people see fr

om Earth during a

partial lunar eclipse depends on how the sun, Earth and moon are lined up.

A lunar eclipse usually lasts for a few hours. At least two partial lunar eclipses happen every

year, but total lunar eclipses are rare. It is safe to look directly at a lunar eclipse although a pair of

binoculars can certainly help the viewer appreciate the beauty of this phenomenon.

Sometimes

when

the

moon

orbits

Earth,

it

moves

between

the

sun

and

Earth.

When

this

happens, the moon blocks the light of the sun from reaching Earth. This causes an eclipse of the

sun, or solar eclipse. During a solar eclipse, the moon casts a shadow onto Earth.

There are three types of solar eclipses: total solar eclipses, partial solar eclipses and annular

eclipses(

日环食

).

During

a

solar

eclipse,

the

moon

casts

two

shadows

on

Earth.

Solar

eclipses

happen once every 18 months. Unlike lunar eclipses, solar eclipses only last for a few minutes

Scientists use solar eclipses as an opportunity to study the sun’s corona(

日冕

). The corona is

t

he sun’s top layer. During an annular eclipse, NASA (the U. S. space agency) uses ground and

space instruments to view the corona when the moon blocks the sun’s

glare. The sudden blocking

of

the

sun during

an

eclipse

reduces

the

light

and

changes

the

temperature

on

the ground.

This

creates conditions that can affect local weather and animal behavior.

It’s important to never look directly at the sun—

it can permanently damage your eyes! Solar

radiation that occurs during an eclipse of the Sun can cause a for

m of burns of one’s eyes known
