Everyone has a phone in their pocket nowadays,but how often do we really use them for their original purpose – to make a call Telephone culture is 1 . What brought us to this moment,and what are its 2
"No one picks up the phone anymore," wrote Alex C.Madrigal on The Atlantic. "The reflex(习惯性动作)of 3 – built so deeply into people who grew up in 20th-century telephonic culture – is gone."
The shift is of course due in large part to more 4 options:Texting with photos,videos,emojis,links and even voice messages can be a more 5 option.
Texting is light and fun,not nearly as demanding of your attention as a phone call.It can also be done with 6 people at the same time.Social media,email and video calls have also 7 traditional phone calls.
In recent years,another reason has caused people to 8 phone calls completely:robocalls.Robocalls are automated(自动化的)messages from organizations verifying(核实)your phone number or telemarketers trying to 9 something.Americans received 22.8 billion robocalls halfway through 2020, 10 an annual rate of 45.6 billion,according to YouMail,a robocall protection service and blocking app.

One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life can be great when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I received a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 1 by things. People were always doing things that annoyed her, and nothing was ever good enough. She was highly self-critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 2 person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 3 . Her best friend was seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost impossible to deal with was that the day before the 4 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing her 5 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and various other things she felt she needed to 6 . It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt that Kerry became 7 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to appreciate life rather than to 8 everything so harshly(刻薄). She was able to transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her life as well.
Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 9 when we're honest, we can be sharply 10 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 11 problems, or that you pretend things are 12 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as they are— 13 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 14 .
Train yourself to "bite your tongue", and with a little 15 , you'll get really good at letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.
