    Recently, a series of bracelets have gone viral on Weibo. On these specially made bracelets are the words "Cell Phone Ninja".
    The bracelets are actually part of an experiment carried out by Chongqing Three Gorges University that challenges students not to use cell phones in class for 21 days. Each student who volunteered to participate received a bracelet. Before the first class and after the last class of each day, students were instructed to upload a photo of their bracelet to the school’s public WeChat account if they did not use their cell phones.
    Over 800 students signed up for the experiment and 400 were selected to participate. After seven days, only 103 students remained. The experiment was set for 21 days because of a claim in psychology that 21 days are the length of time required to form any habit.
    According to the teachers monitoring the activity, there were no rewards or punishments in the experiment. It depended on students themselves to make the decision. Teachers hoped students could form better study habits through activities like this one.
    According to a new poll which was conducted for Common Sense Media, 50 percent of teens feel they are addicted to their mobile devices. A larger number of parents, 59 percent, said their teens were addicted. The poll involved 1 240 interviews with parents and their children, aged 12 to 18.
    Nearly 80 percent of teens in the new survey said they checked their cell phones hourly, and 72 percent said they felt the need to immediately respond to texts and social networking messages. 77 percent of parents felt their children got distracted by their devices and didn’t pay attention when they were together at least a few times per week.

答案 Fight Against Nomophobia An experiment aimed at curbing students’ use of cell phones for 21 days has gone viral on Weibo. Supported neither by any reward nor punishment, it is targeted at cultivating students’ better study habit of not being addicted to cell phones. In my viewpoint, such an attempt to bridle the overuse of cell phones among students is a sensible way to help students shun their drawbacks. To begin with, despite its advantages of offering limitless information and enabling easy interaction that enrich our life, a cell phone conjures up a host of both physical and mental worries. Some, such as "text neck", may be transient, but others, such as "nomophobia", are surely a measure of addiction. Worse still, both psychologists and socialists warn that cell phones are sucking the young minds into a digital mirage, frying their memories, freezing their social skills and rotting their immature brains. Teachers complain that easy search engines are drowning the young generation in shallow answers to their homework and crowding out the capacity for deep and serious thinking. To summarize, cell phones, or whatever digital gadgets which are intended to aid us in our study or work, tend to deluge our life so much that we have to ask what all that information means to us. Hopefully, sober and wiser use of cell phones can be adopted in the near future by students or by anyone of us.
