Fr ver twenty years, fried chicken had been my abslute favurite fd. I wuld have it at least three times a week, whether it was frm a fast-fd jint, a lcal diner, r even hmemade. I planned my utings arund places that served delicius fried chicken. There were times when I tried t cut back n it, especially when I started t gain sme weight, but I always ended up giving in t it within a few days.
This year, a series f events changed my relatinship with fried chicken frever. I began experiencing frequent stmachaches and indigestin (消化不良). Dctrs culdn’t directly link these prblems t fried chicken, but I nticed that every time I ate it, my discmfrt wrsened. Additinally, I started t realize that the nce-muthwatering smell and taste nw left a heavy, greasy (油腻的)feeling in my muth that I culdn’t ignre. One evening, after finishing a large bucket f fried chicken, I felt s sick that I culdn’t sleep well all night. That was the turning pint. I decided that enugh was enugh.
Why was it s hard t let g befre? Is there really smething addictive in fried chicken? While there’s n fficial “fried chicken addictin” listed in medical bks, experts pint ut factrs that culd cntribute t its allure. Dr. Jhnsn frm a nutritin research centre mentins tw key reasns: the high-fat cntent and the cmbinatin f spices. The high-fat cntent makes the brain release “happy chemicals” (endrphins), making us feel gd, while the unique spices excite ur taste buds, making us want mre.
Nw, I’m n Day 35 f my “fried-chicken-free” jurney. The first week was tugh. I had strng cravings (渴望)and even felt a bit dwn at times. But as the days passed, I started t feel better. My stmach prblems became less frequent, and I even nticed that I had mre energy. I’m really prud f myself fr breaking this lng-standing habit. If I can vercme (克服) my lve fr fried chicken, I believe I can vercme any ther challenging habit in my life.

Last mnth, a series f wildfires brke ut in suthern Califrnia, killing dzens f peple. The cluds f smke can even be seen frm space.
Peple f many fire-prne (容易起火的) areas as well as thse far dwnwind have grwn familiar with the thick, range smke. Such smke can cntain an unpredictable chemicals linked with heart and lung diseases and even cancer. Here’s what makes wild-fire smke s dangerus.
When rganic matter like trees burns, it releases CO2, water, heat and, depending n the available fuel, varius chemicals and particles (颗粒) . Thse tiny particles, which flat in the air, can include metals, dust and mre. If they’re smaller than 2.5 micrmeters in diameter (直径), they can get thrugh ur bdy’s natural defenses when breathed in and g deep int the lungs, causing many health prblems.

When a fire breaks ut in an urban area, it destrys hmes, ffices, cars and ther facilities. In ther wrds, mre stuff is burned. Paints, metals and mre can release many kinds f harmful chemicals. A 2023 study fund that the quantity f harmful chemicals released during urban wildfires was mre than 1,000 times larger than that in fires happening in wdland areas.

Traditinally, lder peple struggle with new tech, but this desn’t have t be the case. With prper design, even the mst hesitant user can unlck its significant benefits.
A primary barrier (阻碍) is a lack f understanding f technlgy and its advantages, alng with difficulty in using high-tech tls, such as smart phnes r cmputers. This ften causes them t hesitate t adpt new technlgy. This is a mistake. Older peple themselves must decide whether they want t accept new technlgy r miss ut n its advantages.
Indeed, technlgy — particularly thrugh platfrms like scial media — ffers senirs invaluable pprtunities: cnnecting with new friends, staying in tuch with ld nes and learning new skills. When senirs d adpt technlgy, the reasns are typically twfld: they’re frced t d s and they want t make their lives easier. Understanding these mtivatins is imprtant fr anyne aiming t encurage tech adptin amng lder adults.
Despite the increasing necessity f technlgy in mdern life, sme senirs resist (抵抗), arguing, “I managed befre withut technlgy. Why d I need it nw?” Furthermre, frustratin (沮丧) is cmmn. “It’s nt wrking.” is a cmplaint c-authr Lucia heard many times frm her late father, especially when it came t his cell phne, and he used technlgy well fr the mst part. Specific issues, such as struggling with tiny keypads r reading small text message fnts (字体), were cnstant surces f difficulty.
Addressing these issues requires better technlgy design made fr senirs. Older users prefer simple and clear web pages. A previus study shwed that many senirs like a website t be user-friendly with a simple interface (界面). As the study shwed, “A simpler and mre unifrmly designed Internet wuld help t break dwn the psychlgical barriers faced by lder users.” Althugh the study was cnducted years ag, the prblem with web design fr senir users remains unreslved tday, shwing the nging need fr age-friendly technlgical slutins.
12. Why d lder peple hesitate t accept new techs?
A. They have limited access t digital devices.
B. They find hi-tech prducts challenging t perate.
C. They have a negative attitude twards all new technlgies.
D. They lack the basic knwledge t maintain digital tls.
13. What can we learn frm the example f Lucia’s father?
A. Senirs can’t understand the text messages they receive.
B. Senirs refuse t use the small keypad n their phne.
C. Senirs ften feel upset when using new technlgies.
D. Senirs always face the breakdwn f smart phnes.
14. What might be discussed in the next paragraph?
A. Psychlgical barriers f senirs t adpt new technlgies.
B. User-friendly slutins fr fixing varius cmputer prblems.
C. Further studies related t senirs’ dissatisfactin with hi-techs.
D. Effective ways fr web designers t simplify website interfaces.
15. What is the best title fr the text?
A. Bridging the Tech Gap: Designing Senir-Friendly Technlgy.
B. T Say Yes t the Smart Phne: A Beautiful Mistake.
C. T Use r Nt t Use: A Technlgical Barrier.
D. Unlcking Benefits: Why Senirs Need Technlgy?
