There was once a famous scientist who made several important discoveries. Once he was asked how he was able to be creative, he replied that it all came from an experience he had with his mother when he was 2 years old. He was trying to take a bottle of milk out of the fridge. But the bottle was too slippery (滑的) and he dropped it. The milk was running all over the kitchen floor.
When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of shouting at him or punishing him, she said, “Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge puddle of milk. Would you like to play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up ”
So he did. After a few minutes, they cleaned it up together Then his mother said, “This was a failed experiment in how to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it.”
He learned that if he held the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it without dropping it. What a wonderful lesson!
The scientist then added that it was at that moment that he knew he didn’t need to be afraid to make mistakes. He learned that mistakes are just opportunities to learn something new-which is, after all what scientific experiments are all about Even if the experiment doesn’t “work”, we can still learn something valuable from it.

After a few minutes, they cleaned it up together Then his mother said, “This was a failed experiment in how to carry a big bottle of milk with two tiny hands. Let go out in the backyard and fill the bottle with water and see if you can find a way to carry it without dropping it.”(于是他照做了。几分钟后，他们一起打扫干净，然后他的妈妈说:“这个用两只小手拿一大瓶牛奶的实验失败了。让它到后院去，把瓶子装满水，看看你能不能找到一种不让它掉下来的方法。”)”可知，罗伯特的母亲在罗伯特犯了错误之后没有惩罚他，而是教罗伯特该怎么处理；由此可见，罗伯特的母亲是十分明智的，懂得如何引导孩子。故答案为B。

【16题详解】
根据空前“Technology has taken over much of our lives. If you think about your screen time, you might be shocked by how much time you spend each day checking social media or other apps instead of being productive or living in the real world.(如果你想想你的屏幕时间，你可能会惊讶于你每天花多少时间查看社交媒体或其他应用程序，而不是在现实世界中工作或生活)”以及空后“But there are things that you can do to make sure you won’t waste your time on the screen in the future.(但是你可以做一些事情来确保你以后不会在屏幕上浪费时间)”可知，空处是顺接前文，表明我们在手机上浪费了太多的时间，而又和下文形成转折的关系，表明虽然玩手机浪费时间，但是可以做一些事情来确保以后不会浪费这么多的时间。所以C项“你失去的时间不可能再回来了。”能够承上启下。故选C。
【17题详解】
根据空前“One way to make full use of your time is to be in control of it.(充分利用时间的一个方法是控制时间)”可知，本段建议我们要控制使用手机的时间。空处为对这一主题进一步说明。B项“这意味着你应该合理利用时间。”符合语境。B项中的this指代前文“控制时间”这件事，“use your time properly”和下文的“make full use of your time”相呼应。故选B。
【18题详解】
根据上文“If you would like to go through the social media or websites when you have a few spare minutes, don’t feel bad.(如果你想在空闲时间浏览社交媒体或网站，不要感到很糟糕）”可知，空处表明“如果你想在空闲时间浏览社交媒体或网站，不要感到很糟糕”的原因，那就是这件事对于我们来说太过平常了，所以不需要难过。A项“这对每个人都很常见。”符合语境。故选A。
【19题详解】
根据下文“In the 1890s, a scientist conducted experiments to measure the buildup of saliva(唾液) in the mouths of dogs under different conditions, Like the dogs in the experiments, people are conditioned to respond each time we hear a ping (砰), By removing the notifications(通知), you don’t need to always check your phone for messages.( 在19世纪90年代，一位科学家进行了实验，以测量不同条件下狗嘴里唾液的积累。与实验中的狗一样，人们习惯于在每次听到ping时做出反应。通过删除通知，你不必总是检查手机上的信息)”可知，本段建议人们应该删除通知，避免我们总是检查手机上的信息，这样就可以控制用手机的时间了。G项“另一种减少屏幕时间的方法是关闭通知。”适合作本段的主旨句。G项中的“turning off notifications”和下文中的“removing the notifications”相呼应。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据“The saying “out of sight, out of mind” is also a reminder helping you break away from your phone.(“眼不见，心不烦”这句话也是一个提醒，帮助你摆脱手机)”可知，空处应该表明想要摆脱手机，就不要看见手机。E项“只需把你的手机放在另一个房间里，这样就看不见了。”符合语境。E项中的“ so it can’t be seen”和前文中的“out of sight, out of mind”相呼应。故选E。
