A tent can be one of the more costly items on your camping equipment shopping
list. It is definitely something that you need to consider carefully.
By seeing a tent for real you will be able to get a better impression of its size
and construction in the traditional shop. However, the downside is that, unless you
are experienced，you may miss out some of the details that the manufacturer's
promotional material makes clear. Cheap tents often look similar to the quality models
they are mimicking(模仿), but you can be sure that they use inferior(次的) materials
and probably have lower design standards.
Shop staff are often campers themselves. That means they usually can give lots
of advice. If a shop assistant agrees with your own conclusions, that will be great;
if they try to change your decision with a clear and reasonable argument, then that
will be worth considering; if they just try to bamboozle(欺骗) or even bully, you
then walk away.
The Internet is a wonderful tool, and so long as you know how to make the most
of search engines and put in a little effort, you really have the perfect answer waiting
to be found. That answer will be different for every camper as each of us has different
needs. Don't be surprised to see your favourite criticized somewhere, but if you see
too much criticism，then you had better start thinking again. No problem. You won't
have spent anything yet, so think of it positively as a large expense is saved.
Probably the best approach, if you have the time, is to research tents online
and make a short list. Then try to inspect those tents at nearby shops. Then you can
make a final decision on where to buy your chosen model based purely on total cost.

A smartphone is a mobile phone built on a mobile operating system, with more
advanced computing abilities than a common phone. The first smartphones enabled the
users to send and receive emails. Later models added the functions of portable media
players, pocket video cameras, and GPS navigation units to form one multiuse device. - 2 - Many modern smartphones also include touch screens and Web browsers that display Web
pages.
A recent report says we spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day
looking at a smartphone. That doesn't mean making calls, but playing phone games and
browsing the Web.
Nowadays we always find people checking emails in a restaurant, taking a picture
of the food when it arrives, or checking a message during a conversation instead of
traditional communication. It's no secret that our life is being affected by our
smartphones obsession.
However, this phenomenon has never been presented so vividly as in the short
YouTube film I Forgot My Phone. Despite only being online for a few days, it's already
been viewed more than 10.5 million times. Whether it will be screened in the cinema
remains to be seen.
Ironically, YouTube's data show that the site gets a billion views per day from
mobile devices, so a lot of those people watched it on their phones.
The short film, written by and starring actress Charlene deGuzman, shows groups
of people in various social situations, the majority of whom are absorbed in their
phones instead of the world around them. To a certain extent, we all do it.
5．People prefer a smartphone to a common one, because the latter can only help
us ________.
A．check emails
B．send messages
C．find the destination

“________”．
A．devotion B．contribution
C．addiction D．emotion

A．People spend an average of two hours and 40 minutes each day using smartphones.
B．The film hasn't been put on in the cinema.
