一、阅读下列短文，从每小题的四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
Dear Linda，
I find myself using my phone or laptop all the time，even when I am eating，studying or even in the bathroom. I don’t pay attention to the real world. I think technology is influencing my life. What’s your opinion？
Sarah
Dear Sarah，
I think you depend too much on technology. You are “addicted” to phones，laptops and similar devices. A study found it was harder for people to stay away from social media than from cigarettes or alcohol（酒精）.
Tech companies want us to use their products more，but not because it’s good for us. They make us want to keep up with the latest things. People give up their time and money to be part of it.
I think people are losing control over their lives because of technology. They’re using it too much and it’s taking over. People are not free because they’re always using digital devices.
How can we use technology in a good way？Who is in control of our lives？We need to ask ourselves these first. When we can be happy without using these devices for a day or a week，we can take control back and be free. Then we can enjoy life without being tied to them.
We need to find a balance（平衡）when we use technology. Perhaps，we get lost in such devices. To break free，we should think about how great life was before we had all this tech.
Linda
