第一部分 选修六 Unit 3 Ⅰ.阅读理解 (2017·东北三省四市第一次联考) DEAR Gregory， Merry Christmas! You are now the proud owner of an iPhone. You are a good and responsible 13yearold boy and you deserve this gift. But with your acceptance of this present come some rules and regulations. Please read through the following list of rules. I hope that you understand that it is my job to form you into a wellrounded, healthy young man who can coexist with technology without being ruled by it. Failure to comply with(遵守) the following list will result in termination(终止) of your iPhone ownership. 1. It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning(借) it to you. Aren't I the greatest? 2. If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello and use your manners. Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads “Mom” or “Dad”． 3. It does not go to school with you. Have conversations with your friends in person. That's an important life skill. But half days, field trips and after school activities will require special consideration. 4. If it falls into the toilet, breaks up on the ground or disappears into thin air, you are responsible for the replacement or repair costs. Mow lawns, take up babysitting or save up your birthday money. Accidents will happen, so you should be prepared. |
