　　移動電話的廣泛使用被指引發了諸多社會弊端，不僅如此，手中的智能機也會讓你覺得身體不適。科學家們把這種狀態稱為“暈屏”，是暈車的電子版。80%的手機和平板用戶會暈屏，他們會有惡心、眩暈的感覺。造成暈屏的原因是瀏覽了含移動內容的屏幕，可能是看了有追車鏡頭的電影，也可能是瀏覽了手機上滾動的內容頁。視覺內容越真實，暈屏的發生率就越高。《紐約時報》的一篇文章報道了這種癥狀。英美專家在文章中稱，這個問題需要著手解決。認知心理學家、考文垂大學移動運輸中心的人為因素研究員西里爾·蒂爾斯表示：“對弊端置之不理算得上是科技產業一個最根本的問題了。”“這是對非自然環境作出的自然反應。”暈動癥會令患者感到肌肉和內耳在移動，但實際上并沒有看到它們在移動。而暈屏癥恰恰相反——你看到屏幕在移動，實際上卻感受不到。二者的影響卻是相同的，其癥狀為頭疼、想吐、思緒混亂，需要靜坐下來。暈屏癥狀通常不易察覺，患者會以為是因為壓力大或者視覺疲勞引起的。哈佛醫學院耳鼻喉科教授史蒂芬·勞奇表示：“與其他感官不同，當有大量信息輸入時，人的平衡感會發生改變。”“當這些信息輸入沒有被感官接受，你就會覺得頭暈、惡心。”《紐約時報》稱，一些有關暈屏的研究發現，女性比男性更容易暈屏。A型人格，即果斷自信的人，也更容易暈屏。“有暈屏癥狀的通常是連續幾小時玩快節奏視頻游戲的玩家。看動作片的觀眾在看到快速剪輯和切換的鏡頭時會不舒服，這是因為虛擬實境會加重暈屏。紐約大學提斯克藝術學院康貝爾影視研究所的教授喬納森·溫斯坦說：“動作片就是想讓觀眾身臨其境，而不是當一個局外人。”虛擬實境游戲頭盔制造商“歐酷拉”公司的工程師們坦言，暈屏也是他們面臨的最大問題之一。

　　In modern society, drugs are becoming a more and more serious problem in the world. The trade of drugs is widespread, which costs up to $800 billion every year.

　　As we all know, drugs do great harm to our health, not only causing people to die at an early age,but also directly contributing to the happening of crimes. As is shown on the chart above, 30% of the teenagers taking drugs are cheated into doing it, and 50% are driven by curiosity. Another 15% just seek excitements or try to get rid of their anxieties, and the rest try it for some other reasons.

　　In my opinion, in order to protect us students from drugs, we should be careful to make friends and stay away from those who always behave badly. Also, it's very important for us to lead a healthy lifestyle and hold positive attitudes towards life.

　　3. 我的看法

　　參考范文：

　　Can money buy happiness? Various people have various answers. Some people think that money is the source of happiness. With money, one can buy whatever he enjoys. With money, one can do whatever he likes. So, in their minds, money can bring comfort, security, and so on. Money, as they think, is the source of happiness.

　　But there are still a lot of others who think that money is the root of all evil. Money drives people to steal, to rob, and to break the law. A lot of people became criminals just because they were in search of money. And in the Western countries, there is nothing that can’t be bought by money. Many people lose their own lives when hunting it.

　　I think that money is essential to life and we cannot do without money. But even though money is necessary to life, it can’t buy happiness. Happiness is not something that can be measured by money. It is a state of mind. One can have plenty of money, with which he can buy whatever he wants, and at the same time he is not happy because he is never satisfied or he is troubled by various kinds of problems. Therefore, although money is necessary for a happy life, it can’t buy happiness.

　　Deep Reading in Modern Life

　　At the picture depicts, a father told his son that he should read deeply rather than merely pursue the quantity of reading materials. It reflects that people tend to browse and scan e-books without stopping to ponder even one question. The way we read is so superficial that it arouses great concern in modern life.

　　To be a better reader, we had better do as follows. For one thing, take notes about crucial details as we used to do. Taking notes can avoid the phenomenon that the more we read online or on smart phones, the less we seemed to memorize. For another, classics deserve to be savored by the contemporary people. For example, some classical novels can be read free on Kindle, which makes them popular among youngsters again. What's more, if we did not make summaries from time to time, nothing that we learnt from e-books would truly be ours.

　　In conclusion, when we enjoy digital reading, we should consciously conducts deep reading. Try our best to keep those good habits which are acquired in the process of paper reading, such as intensive reading and deep thinking.
