While I was jumping rope,my smartphone took a fall to the floor which created cracks(裂缝) on my screen.However, the music kept playing. 30 minutes later, I could see only one-tenth of my screen while the rest was black. The next morning, I decided not to use it for 24 hours. I felt a sense of calm that day, which led to my not using it for one week. One week ended up becoming 60 days in total without my smartphone.
Here are some advantages I noticed in this challenge.
-You'll become "bored"
Without my phone, I became bored, but my mind went through all kinds of topics. Boredom(无聊) is a perfect way to create new ideas on a business or project. When you are bored,you allow your mind to relax to reach all possibilities.
-You'll be able to reduce your "work"hours
A survey found that adults checked their smartphones 85 times a day, or once every 10 minutes. As I learned in my challenge, by not having my smartphone, I fell into deep work more easily, so I completed my tasks in a shorter time.
-You'll improve your mental health
Without my phone, I avoided reading negative(负面的)news and comments. While that helped make a big improvement in my mental health, the biggest reason for it was truly communicating with people. It brought me more connections with humans in the real world. I went to more dinners with friends and asked more questions to strangers.
( )16. What happened to the writer's smartphone

When I was in Grade 8, I had a heated argument(争吵) with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.
I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he was right. Our teacher, a kind and smart lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The teacher asked us what color the object was. "White," Tony answered. I couldn't believe he said the object was white! "Clearly, it was black!"Another argument started between Tony and me, this time about the color of the object.
The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and stand where I was standing.We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object was. I had to answer,“White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides-from his side it was white, while from my side it was black. "Boys, now, what do you say " The teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since.
My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day:When you disagree with others, you'd better be in their shoes.That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking.
