T. S. Elit wrte f “Distracted frm distractin by distractin /Filled with fancies and empty f meaning.” T. S. Elit never had a smartphne.
Neither did I fr a lng time. N Facebk accunt; nt even email. But accrding t my date f manufacture, I’m suppsed t be a digital native. Perhaps it’s because by the age f 20 I was living in the Welsh cuntryside with n signal and n Wi-Fi.
When I finally fell int the digital wrld, I fell hard. Unlike my friends fr whm scial media and mbile technlgy had grwn and flwered arund them, fr me it was a sudden immersin. I gt Facebk, Twitter and Gmail accunts at the same time that I gt an iPhne 4. I wuld check my phne; five minutes later I wuld check my phne again. I was addicted and it started t affect my relatinships with friends and family
One night, withut a wrd, I abandned my iPhne and bught a Nkia 3310 and became the talk f the twn. Sn I became aware that nt nly had I stlen secret time back frm the hurried days, but smehw a secret space as well. I culd stretch ut, free t think again, t be whlly creative and t learn meaningfully.
But, wherever I went I gt bldy lst. Wandering blindly arund Lndn, nly t miss appintments, became a frequent pastime (消遣). What did we d befre Ggle Maps? I was useless. The change was wrth it, thugh. I’ll sund like an verstatement but I think it changed my life. My chices are brader and healthier because I’m nt being screamed at all day.
I bught a new Samsung phne last week. I had been scared f the rate f prgress, crying: “Stp the train! Stp the madness.” But I want t be part f building the future, and t d that, yu’ve gt t swim in cntemprary waters. Rejecting the mdern wrld desn’t help anyne. It slws yu dwn and I need t be efficient. Time will tell whether I’ve mastered the wisdm t reject cnstantly checking my phne.

Taking vitamin pills in high dses(剂量) can significantly increase the risk f cataracts(白内障), a study has shwn.
Scientists fund that cnsuming large amunts f vitamin C made individuals 20 percent mre likely t develp the cnditin, which is a leading cause f blindness. And regularly taking high-dse vitamin E tablets increased the chance f cataracts frming by 60 percent. The dangers are even greater fr the elderly, with thse ver 65 nearly dubling their chances f damaging their visin if they tk these vitamins every day.
Researchers frm the Karlinska Institute in Stckhlm mnitred 31,000 vlunteers aged between 45 and 79. Nearly 3,000 f them went n t need treatment fr their eyes. The Swedish team discvered a strng link between thse wh develped cataracts and thse wh tk high dses f vitamins C and E.
It was riginally thught that the tw vitamins wuld prtect against cataracts because they are pwerful antixidants(脱氧化剂). It was suppsed that they wuld fight the prcess f xidatin(氧化), which destrys cells in much the same way as rust(锈) rts a car. Hwever, it it nw believed that, in large quantities, vitamin C may actually cause xidatin by upsetting the natural balance f prteins in the eye.
The human bdy des nt make r stre vitamin C, and gets its supply frm fruit and vegetables. It nly needs 40 mg a day t keep cells healthy and prmte healing. Vitamin E helps maintain the structure f cells and is fund in fd items such as nuts and seeds. Aman needs just 4 mg a day and a wman shuld have 3 mg. But tablets cntaining up t a hundred times this amunt are als available in UK health fd shps. Researchers stressed that the dangers will nly be caused if the vitamins are taken in very large amunts. These were defined as 1,000 mg f vitamin C and 100 mg f vitamin E a day.
Hwever, Prfessr Yit Yang, frm the Ryal Cllege f Ophthalmlgists in Australia, said, “It is nt pssible t establish frm this study that vitamin C caused cataracts, as there may be ther factrs(因素) that were nt accunted fr.”
8. What d we knw abut the research frm the text?
A. The research was cnducted in Australia.
B. The vlunteers cvered the full range f ages.
C. Almst 10 percent f the vlunteers had smething wrng with their eyes.

9. What did the scientists think f the vitamins riginally?
A. They culd lead t blindness.
B. They culd cause cataracts.

T. S. Elit wrte f “Distracted frm distractin by distractin /Filled with fancies and empty f meaning.” T. S. Elit never had a smartphne.
Neither did I fr a lng time. N Facebk accunt; nt even email. But accrding t my date f manufacture, I’m suppsed t be a digital native. Perhaps it’s because by the age f 20 I was living in the Welsh cuntryside with n signal and n Wi-Fi.
When I finally fell int the digital wrld, I fell hard. Unlike my friends fr whm scial media and mbile technlgy had grwn and flwered arund them, fr me it was a sudden immersin. I gt Facebk, Twitter and Gmail accunts at the same time that I gt an iPhne 4. I wuld check my phne; five minutes later I wuld check my phne again. I was addicted and it started t affect my relatinships with friends and family
One night, withut a wrd, I abandned my iPhne and bught a Nkia 3310 and became the talk f the twn. Sn I became aware that nt nly had I stlen secret time back frm the hurried days, but smehw a secret space as well. I culd stretch ut, free t think again, t be whlly creative and t learn meaningfully.
But, wherever I went I gt bldy lst. Wandering blindly arund Lndn, nly t miss appintments, became a frequent pastime (消遣). What did we d befre Ggle Maps? I was useless. The change was wrth it, thugh. I’ll sund like an verstatement but I think it changed my life. My chices are brader and healthier because I’m nt being screamed at all day.
I bught a new Samsung phne last week. I had been scared f the rate f prgress, crying: “Stp the train! Stp the madness.” But I want t be part f building the future, and t d that, yu’ve gt t swim in cntemprary waters. Rejecting the mdern wrld desn’t help anyne. It slws yu dwn and I need t be efficient. Time will tell whether I’ve mastered the wisdm t reject cnstantly checking my phne.

Taking vitamin pills in high dses(剂量) can significantly increase the risk f cataracts(白内障), a study has shwn.
Scientists fund that cnsuming large amunts f vitamin C made individuals 20 percent mre likely t develp the cnditin, which is a leading cause f blindness. And regularly taking high-dse vitamin E tablets increased the chance f cataracts frming by 60 percent. The dangers are even greater fr the elderly, with thse ver 65 nearly dubling their chances f damaging their visin if they tk these vitamins every day.
Researchers frm the Karlinska Institute in Stckhlm mnitred 31,000 vlunteers aged between 45 and 79. Nearly 3,000 f them went n t need treatment fr their eyes. The Swedish team discvered a strng link between thse wh develped cataracts and thse wh tk high dses f vitamins C and E.
It was riginally thught that the tw vitamins wuld prtect against cataracts because they are pwerful antixidants(脱氧化剂). It was suppsed that they wuld fight the prcess f xidatin(氧化), which destrys cells in much the same way as rust(锈) rts a car. Hwever, it it nw believed that, in large quantities, vitamin C may actually cause xidatin by upsetting the natural balance f prteins in the eye.
The human bdy des nt make r stre vitamin C, and gets its supply frm fruit and vegetables. It nly needs 40 mg a day t keep cells healthy and prmte healing. Vitamin E helps maintain the structure f cells and is fund in fd items such as nuts and seeds. Aman needs just 4 mg a day and a wman shuld have 3 mg. But tablets cntaining up t a hundred times this amunt are als available in UK health fd shps. Researchers stressed that the dangers will nly be caused if the vitamins are taken in very large amunts. These were defined as 1,000 mg f vitamin C and 100 mg f vitamin E a day.
Hwever, Prfessr Yit Yang, frm the Ryal Cllege f Ophthalmlgists in Australia, said, “It is nt pssible t establish frm this study that vitamin C caused cataracts, as there may be ther factrs(因素) that were nt accunted fr.”
