How would you feel if you couldn't use the internet on your phone for two weeks?
Surprisingly, some people felt better after doing just that! New research suggests that turning off your smartphone's internet can improve your mental health, your ability to focus, and your sense of well - being.
A group of researchers in the United States and Canada wanted to know how disconnecting the smartphones would influence people's feelings. They studied 467 people aged between 18 and 74. These people used a special app to block the internet on their phones for two weeks. They could still make calls and text messages.
The researchers asked the people questions about their feelings and tested how well they could focus. The results were very interesting! About 91% of them felt better in at least one area—either their mood, their focus, or their overall happiness. About 71% said they had better mental health after the two weeks, and 73% said they had improved well - being. The people also did better on focus tests—like they were 10 years younger!
Looking more deeply into the reasons for these changes, the researchers found that when people weren't using the internet, they spent more time outside, got more exercise, and met and talked to others.
It was hard for many people to stay offline for two full weeks. In fact, only 25% actually did so! However, even those who only blocked the internet for part of the time showed improvements. Some people kept using their phones less even after the two weeks.
Although completely blocking the internet from our smartphones might be difficult, the study shows that using it less—like spending less time on some apps—can help us feel better too.

1. How many people interviewed said blocking the internet had improved their happiness?
73% of them.
2. Are you willing to keep your smartphone off for two weeks? Why?
I think it would be very difficult, but I would be willing to try. The main reason is that I often get distracted by short videos when I should be studying or talking with my family. Without my phone, I would probably read more books, get better sleep, and spend more quality time with friends face - to - face.
答案：1. 73% of them.

如果你的手机两周不能上网，你会有什么感觉？
令人惊讶的是，有些人这样做后感觉更好了！新的研究表明，关闭智能手机的网络连接可以改善你的心理健康、专注力和幸福感。
美国和加拿大的一组研究人员想了解断开智能手机网络连接会如何影响人们的感受。他们研究了467名年龄在18岁到74岁之间的人。这些人使用一个特殊的应用程序来屏蔽手机网络两周。他们仍然可以打电话和发短信。
研究人员询问了这些人的感受，并测试了他们的专注力。结果非常有趣！大约91%的人至少在一个方面感觉更好——要么是他们的情绪、专注力，要么是他们的整体幸福感。大约71%的人说两周后他们的心理健康状况更好了，73%的人说他们的幸福感提高了。这些人在专注力测试中也表现得更好——就像他们年轻了10岁一样！
深入研究这些变化的原因后，研究人员发现，当人们不使用网络时，他们会花更多的时间在户外、进行更多的锻炼，并且会与他人见面和交谈。
对很多人来说，整整两周不上网是很困难的。事实上，只有25%的人真的做到了！然而，即使是那些只在部分时间屏蔽网络的人也有了改善。有些人甚至在两周后仍然减少了使用手机的时间。
虽然完全屏蔽智能手机的网络可能很困难，但这项研究表明，少用它——比如在一些应用程序上花更少的时间——也能帮助我们感觉更好。
### 理解
1. 有多少被采访的人说屏蔽网络提高了他们的幸福感？
73%的人。
2. 你愿意让你的智能手机关闭两周吗？为什么？
我觉得这会很困难，但我愿意尝试。主要原因是我在应该学习或者和家人交谈的时候，经常会被短视频分散注意力。没有手机的话，我可能会读更多的书、睡得更好，并且和朋友们面对面地度过更多高质量的时光。
