There is a famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.
This was an age before telephones. Someone was delivering a message. When Coleridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration. His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his door. His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment.
This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.
The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them. But more damaging may be the cell phone’s interruption of our thoughts.
We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our cell phones, and this is by and large(大体上)a healthy, protective development. “I didn’t hear it ring” or “I didn’t realize my phone had shut off” are among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.
The notion of being unreachable is not a new concept—we have “Do Not Disturb” sign on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?
Now time alone, or a conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished. Even cell phone devotees（信徒）, myself usually included, can’t help at times wanting to throw their phones away, or curse(咒骂) the day they were invented.
But we don’t and won’t, and there really is no need. All that’s required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it. In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt (轻视)for the rings of our own phones.
A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us，though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg—who has finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie. But most likely it is not, and I’m better off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the slice of pizza I’ll eat for lunch.
5. What is the point of the anecdote about the poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs?
6. What does the writer think about people telling “white lies” about their cell phones?
7. According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cell phones?
8. What does the last paragraph imply?
根据第三段中的“brings us to the cell phone”可知，作用引用Coleridge的例句是为了引出文章的话题。Coleridge写诗过程中的思维被一件琐事所打断，与此类似，手机也影响了我们的思维。所以选D。A、B项表述不正确，C项表述正确，但与作者引用这个例子的目的不符。
推理判断题。抓住文章主旨、紧扣作者思维模式找突破口。
把握不住相关要点。
根据第五段第一句中的“this is by and large a healthy, protective development”可知，作者认为，关于手机的一些善意的谎言总体上来说是一种健康的保护性行为，能够保护我们的隐私，故选B。A、D项在原文中找不到相关的依据，C项与第六段中的“why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones?”意思相反。故选B。

根据第七段的内容可知，人们的私人时间已经被彻底被手机打乱了。连那些手机的忠实信徒有时候都忍不住恨不得把手机扔了，或者咒骂发明手机的人。根据“恨不得丢手机，谩骂”这些词可以看出让人最烦的是手机打扰了我们的日常生活。故选A。B、C、D表示都是正确的，但是不符合问题中的“最让人恼火的”的限定，故选A。
推理判断题。抓住文章主旨、紧扣作者思维模式找突破口。
把握不住相关要点。
根据最后一段第一句中的“A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from the person next to us”可知，作者认为，手机就跟周围的人的一句随意的搭讪一样，不应该看的太重要，更不能让手机影响到我们的正常生活，所以A项正确。B项表述不正确，C项只是一种假设的情况（注意原文中的“may be”），D项在文章中没有依据。故选A。
