___31___ Yes, modern people enjoy using smartphones. However, can you imagine my son has also been crazy about a smartphone He’s only four! Yesterday when I saw him playing games with his dad’s smartphone again, I got very angry, but I didn’t know what to do!
___32___ Shared bikes are getting more and more popular. And they make our travel easier and more convenient. But the bad news is that some users might intentionally (有意地)break the bikes and some may throw the bikes everywhere after they use them. What should we do about this
___33___ Do you know how upset I’m feeling today When I was so tired and finally got back home last night, it was 11:00 and my parents had been still waiting. They didn’t ask me why I returned home so late, but kept blaming (责备)me. Why were they so bad to me
___34___ Have you got such a brother He always takes away my things without asking! By the time I got home yesterday afternoon, I found he had taken my favorite toy away again. I’ve ever talked to him about this, but he’s never listened to me. I really don’t know how to get on with him. Could you give me some advice
___35___ I hate noisy and crowded cities and I always wish to visit the great countryside with fresh air, clean water and delicious food. However, I got a big surprise when I reached a small village last Sunday. The houses were old and broken there. Dirty things were everywhere. Local people were unkind to me! I wonder what had happened.

It is not good for us to get lost in them and neglect (忽视)other important things in life, for example, our health and our relationships with our family. Maybe sometimes we just need to turn the smartphones off and focus on other things.
E. This shows that as society develops, people’s qualities(素质)also need to be improved. First of all, we can’t do such stupid things when we enjoy the convenience. Then we should call for more people to use them properly. Also, we should stop these bad things when we see them.
F. Not all parents can understand us. When we have problems getting along with them, we should keep calm and talk to them instead of getting angry with munication is the best way to solve such a problem. You should explain why you were so late and try your best to make them understand you.
G. Without doubt, electronic products have got into our life and are influencing people of all ages. But to be honest, it’s not easy to deal with a kid’s problem. He or she is too young to understand you. So the best way to solve the problem is to keep the kids’ favorite products away from them.
