Today, they’re so common that researchers have devoted studies to them.For Valerie Kusler, who works on a cattle farm, the feelingis complicated by the cows. “The cows’ moo is very muffled, itkinda sounds like ... errrrrr，〞she says. “So that’s verysimilar to what my phone sounds like when it vibrates on my deskor in my purse.〞Other people may not confuse cows for their phones, but research shows phantom vibration symptom is a nearuniversal experience for people with smartphones.Nearly 90 percent of college undergraduates in a 2012 study said they felt phantom vibrations. The number was just as high for a survey of hospital workers, who reported feeling phantom vibrations on either a weekly or monthly basis.“Something in your brain is being triggered (触发), that’s different than what was triggered just a few short years ago，〞 says Dr Larry Rosen, a research psychologist who studies how technology affects our minds.“If you’d asked me 10 years ago, or maybe even five years ago if I felt an itch beneath where my pocket of my jeans was, and asked me what I would do, I’d reach down and scratch it because it was probably a little itch caused by the neurons firing(神经元刺激)，〞he says. Now, of course, the itch triggers him to reach for his phone. Rosen says it’s an example of how our devices are changing how our brains process information.“We’re seeing a lot of what looks like obsessive behavior. People who are constantly picking up their phones look like they have an obsession.They don’t look much different from someone who’s constantly washing their hands. I’m not saying that it is an obsession, but I’m saying that it could turn into one, very easily，〞Rosen says.While 9 out of 10 participants in the study of college students said the vibrationfeeling bothered them only a little or not at all, Rosen still recommends backing away from our phones every once in a while to keep our anxiety levels down.“One of the things I’m really adamant about in spite of being very protechnology, is just away from the technology for short periods，〞 Rosen says.“And by short periods, I m ean, maybe just 30 minutes or an hour.〞★1.According to the article, phantom vibrations ________.A．are mainly caused by neurons firingB．affect people mostly working on farmsC．help our brains better process informationD．started troubling people in recent years2．The underlined word “adamant〞in the last paragraph probably means ________.A．curious B．determinedC．satisfied D．cautious★3.It can be concluded from Larry Rosen’s research that ________.A．Phantom vibrations could probably result in obsessive behaviorB．the use of smartphones has completely changed the way our minds workC．most people feel uncomfortable when they experience phantom vibrations D．hospital workers are more likely to suffer from phantom vibrations than students4．According to Larry Rosen, the most effective measure against phantom vibrations is to ________.A．move to a quieter neighborhoodB．stop using smartphones in poor conditionC．take a break from using smartphones occasionallyD．keep a close watch on your anxiety levelsB(2015·扬州市高三期末检测)Food waste has been a chronic (习惯性的) problem for restaurants and grocery stores —with millions of tons lost along the way as crops are hauled (拖) hundreds of miles, stored for weeks in refrigerators and preparedon busy restaurant assembly lines.
