三、(2025·山东泰安肥城期末)阅读理解。
Mr White is sixty years old. He always talks about how fast things have changed，and he often says that life in the past was better than it is these days.
Now cities are full of cars. Some families even have two or more cars，so parking is becoming a big problem. The traffic in some cities is getting worse and worse too. Car drivers nowadays drive so fast that there are more traffic accidents.
More and more people are always looking at their mobile phones with their heads down. Mr White often sees people in the restaurant eating face-to-face while looking at their own mobile phones. He thinks it is strange that they don't talk to the people who sit opposite them during the meal. Some of them even have fun chatting with others on the phone.
Most families own computers now. A study found that children use the internet more and more. The number of children using the internet has grown by three times in the past three years. Mr White's grandson is a middle school student. He often stays up late playing computer games on the internet. He falls asleep in the early hours of the morning and spends less time doing homework.
