I was a smartphone addict. My eyes were glued to the little screen whenever walked down the street, had dinner with frends or lay in bed at night. The first thing I did when I woke up in the morning was reach for my phone. I always asked for Wi-Fi connections when I went to a new restaurant or coffee shop. A dead battery in my smartphone would make me feel stressed. Sometimes I had the uncomfortable feeling that this little machine had taken up too much of my time, and that I could have done something more meaningful than just looking at a tiny screen all day. Sliding into the habit was easy, but it was difficult to quit the habit.
我是个“智能手机控”。无论是走在大街上,还是同朋友吃饭,或者晚上躺在床上,我都目不转睛地盯着这块小小的屏幕。早晨醒来,我做的第一件事情就是伸手拿手机。每当我到一家新餐厅或者咖啡厅时,我都会要求连上它们的无线网。如果手机电量耗尽,会让我感到焦虑。有时候,我有种不安的感觉,这台小小的机器已经占用了我太多的时间,我本该做一些更有意义的事,而不是整天都盯着一块小小的屏幕。陷入这种习惯很容易,戒掉它却很难。

What is the main idea of this paragraph
Reasons for leaving phones behind.
The first day was the hardest. I was used to checking the news and my friends' social media updates every few minutes, but now I did not know what to do with myself. I kept reaching for my pocket, for my smartphone that was not there. I felt lost and anxious, as if I had missed something of value. Very soon, time slowed down. The empty hours stretched out in front of me, and I felt disconnected from everyone and everything.
第一天是最艰难的。我已经习惯了隔几分钟就翻翻新闻,浏览一下朋友们社交媒体的更新情况,可是现在,我有去掏那只并不在里面的手机。我感到迷惘、紧张,仿佛我丢失了什么宝贵的东西。很快,时间就慢了下来。空虚的时光在我面前拉长,我感觉和所有人、所有事都断了联系。

What is the main idea of this paragraph
The hardest time at the first day.
It was scary at first. Then somehow I began to feel free. The things that I had time for! I f hally picked up the classic novel I had always wanted to read and was soon lost in the beautiful language. I kept a journal of my feelings,thoughts and daily activities to see how much progress I was making. I went out for a run and felt more alive than I had in days. The details of the scene were revealed in front of me: the soft sunlight, a bird singing from a high tree branch, the rich and earthy smell of the soil after the rain. Best of all,l began t appreciate the beauty in life with my own eyes, instead of through my smartphone camera.
一开始很恐慌。然后不知怎的我开始感受到自由。我有时间可以做些事了!我终于重拾那本我一直都想读的名著小说,很快就沉浸在它优美的语言中。我用日记记录自己的感受、思绪和日常活动,看看自己都取得了多大的进步。我出门跑步,感觉自己比前几天要更有活力。风景的细微之处在我面前一览无余:和煦的阳光,一只小鸟在高高的树枝上歌唱,还有雨后浓郁的泥土的芬芳。最棒的是,我开始通过自己的双眼,而不是手机的摄像头,来欣赏生活中的美。

What is the main idea of this paragraph
The things that I'm free to do.
My offline relationships benefited as well.I went for a long walk with an old friend. Our wide ranging conversation went so much deeper than brief texts ever could. With eyes no longer fixed on our phones, we had a chance to really enjoy each other's company. I also made sure to spend more time with my parents. We went to the opera, played badminton, and visited museums. One night, my mother took out some family photos and we laughed about old times. I brought them up to date with what was going on in my life. We had never felt closer to each other.
我的线下人际关系也受益良多。我和一位老友散了很长时间的步。我们话题广泛的交谈比简短的信息沟通要深刻得多。眼睛不再盯着手机,我们得以真正享受彼此的陪伴。我也确保留出更多的时间和父母一起度过。我们去看了歌剧,打了羽毛球,参观了博物馆。有天晚上,我妈拿出了几张家庭合影,回忆往昔,我们开怀大笑。我也让他们知悉最近我生活中发生了哪些事。我们觉得彼此从未如此亲密过。

What is the main idea of this paragraph
By the end of the week, I almost did not want to turn my phone back on. Those seven days have given me a great appreciation for life beyond the screen. Real life-and real relationships-are more important to me now. I cannot escape from the modern world, but I can cut back on the amount of time I spend on my smartphone every day, and I do. Life beyond smartphones is richer and more beautiful, and I am going to take advantage of it.
那周快结束时,我几乎不想再打开手机了。这七天的经历让我得以好好享受屏幕之外的生活。现在,真实的生活和真实的人际关系对我来说更为重要。我无法逃离现代世界,但我可以减少每天花在手机上的时间,我说到做到。智能手机以外的生活更丰富也更美妙,我要善加利用。
