Today, we use digital equipment like cell phones and IPads all the time. We use them to listen to music, read news, play games and talk with friends and family. One recent study shows that eighty-four percent of cell phone users say they could not go a day with no phones. Another study shows that more than fifty percent of cell phone users have a look at their phones for messages even when there's no warning sound.
What if you put away your digital equipment for one day? You can try it on the US Unplugged Day. It is on the second Friday of March each year. On this day, people don't use digital equipment for 24 hours.
Many people find this Unplugged Day to be longer than most days. “Without my cell phone, my breakfast was too short and I didn't know what to do next,” one person said after trying this day last year.
But others like the idea. “My friend and I had dinner in the evening. We could really hear what the other person was saying,” another person said.
Unplugging can be difficult. But it also helps people slow down and think about their lives. At the end of the day, you may find that you don't miss your digital equipment that much.
Join us for the Unplugged Day and start a different life：say Hello to the people in your street, neighborhood and city , have a nice meal with your family or read a book to your child.

如今，我们一直使用数字设备，像手机、平板。我们使用它们听音乐，看新闻，玩游戏以及和家人朋友交谈。一项最近的研究显示：百分之八十四的手机使用者说他们不能没有手机过一天；另一项研究显示：50％以上的手机用户看手机消息，即便没有提示音。
如果把你的手机搁置一天会怎样？你可以尝试一下美国的拔掉电源日，它是在每年3月的第二个星期五，这天，人们24小时不使用数字产品。
许多人发现拔掉电源日比大多数日子要长，“没有手机，我早餐太短、不知道下一步做什么。”一个去年体验了这日子的人说。
但是别的人喜欢这想法，“我和朋友晚上吃饭，我们真正能听到对方所说的。”另一个人说。
拔掉电源可能是困难的，但它帮助了人们放慢下来、想想自己的生活，这天结束，你会发现你不会那么怀念你的数码设备了。
加入我们拔掉电源日、开启一个不同的生活：对街上，街坊，城市的人们问声好；和家人吃一顿可口的饭菜或给孩子阅读一本书吧！（七年级阅读理解练习题，潜龙家教谭老师译文并录入，答案略，感谢查看，欢迎大家继续浏览本站其他精彩内容，谢谢！） |
