The round-the-clock(24小時不斷的)availability that cell phone have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life，a new study suggests．The study，which followed more than 1，300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover’’ between work and home life—and，in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.
Spillover essentially(本質上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear．Work life may invade home life when a．parent is taking job—related calIs at home，for instance--or family issues may start to take up work time．For example，a child may call mom at work，telling her "microwave exploded” explained Noelle Chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin—Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home． ‘
This may be especially true for working women，the study found. Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潛入)into family time．But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came：into work life．
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family
members．But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley．Empoyers, she said，could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”．For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.

The round-the-clock availability that cell phones have brought to people’s lives may be taking a toll on family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone through out the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover” between work and home life—and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life.
Spillover(影響，后果) actually means that the line between work and home began to become unclear. Work life may invade home life—when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call Mom at work, telling her “the microwave exploded”, explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of society at the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home.
This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed not to allow more work issues to creep(潛入) into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions—being “connected” means that work cuts into home time, and family issues come into work life.
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchange among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, should look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”. For their part, employees can decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.

根據短文內容，從下面所給的A—F選項中選出能概括每一段(61-65)主題的最佳選項。選項中有一項為多余項。
A. Attach more aid to weak schools.
B. Children should share the same educational rights.
C. Heavy load is supposed to be taken off the students’ shoulders.
D. Bring the industrial management of education to an end.
E. Balanced education may stop school choice.
F. Key schools and classes are unreasonable.
【小題1】Education should be intended to make better citizens instead of making money. Money can be earned by starting business. It’s time to abolish the industrialized education so that all the people can benefit from real education.
【小題2】Concrete measures should be taken to lessen the students’ heavy burden. Not empty talks but concrete and solid policies can guarantee all the students grow soundly.
【小題3】My parents are farmer-turned workers. I think we should be treated equally with the local children. We should have equal chance to go to both the local public schools and take the national college entrance exam rather than go back to our native places.
【小題4】School choice has become a serious educational problem. To solve this problem, we must stick to the balanced development. The government should offer more support to weak schools and have all the teachers exchange the round hillock work among all the schools.
【小題5】The government’s unwillingness to spend enough money on education makes key schools turn to parents for money to build new buildings and increase teachers’ income, widening the gap between key schools and common schools. Therefore, in order to realize the balance of education, the government should offer more help to weak schools.

A new study suggests that the roundtheclock availability that cell phones have brought to people's lives may take a toll on family life. The study，which followed more than 1,300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative “spillover” between work and home life—and，in turn，less satisfaction with their family life.
Spillover essentially(本質上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking jobrelated calls at home，for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example，a child may call mum at work，telling her “microwave exploded”，explained Noelle Chesley，an assistant professor of sociology at the University of WisconsinMilwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for even more spillover between work and home.
This may be especially true for working women，the study found. Among men，consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潛入)into family time. But for women，the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected” meant that work cut into home time，and family issues came into work life.
Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover，according to Chesley. Employers, she said，could look at their policies on contacting employees after hours to make sure their expectations are “reasonable”．For their part，employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said.

3.We can learn from the passage that ________.
A．cell phones affect men as much as women
B．cell phones seem to be convenient to families
C．cell phones make the line between work and home unclear
D．we can do nothing to solve the problem
4.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. How to control the negative spillover caused by cell phones.
B. How work life invades home life.
C. Consistent use of cell phones makes people feel less satisfied with their work.
D. Cell phones cause negative "spillover" between work life and home life.
