     Kelly Reeves was getting ready for a trip when her phone slipped into a sink full of water. Panic
moment! She quickly picked up the wet phone and tried to turn it on, but nothing worked. Her first
reaction? She got dressed, drove to the nearest store, and bought a new model at full price.    
     A new study finds that fear of losing your phone is a common illness. About 66 percent of those
surveyed suffer from nomophobia or "no mobile phone phobia". Interestingly, more women worry
about losing their phone than men.    
     Fortunately, there's a solution.    
     The first step is to figure out if you have nomophobia. Checking your phone too often is one
thing,but the true sign of a problem is that you can't conduct business or go about your routine when
the fear becomes so severe.    
     Do you go to unusual lengths to make sure you have your phone? That's another sign of a
problem.If you find you check your phone plenty of times per hour, or a total of an hour per day,
there may be a problem.    
     Some of the treatments are similar to those for treating anxiety attacks: Leaving the phone behind
and not checking e-mail or text messages, and then learning to tolerate the after anxiety. Even if this
leads to a high level of worry and stress, the solution is to push through the fear and learn to deal
with not having your phone.    
     Of course, there are also technological alternatives. Luis Levy, a co-founder at Novy PR, says
he uses an application called Cerberus that can automatically track the location of his phone. To
find it, he can just go to a Web site and see the phone's location.    
     He also insures his phone through a service called Asurion. The company's description of its
product reads like a prescription for anxiety: "60 million phones are lost, stolen or damaged each
year. You'll have complete peace of mind knowing that your phone is protected and you can
quickly reconnect with family, friends and work, as soon as the very next day!"

C. To warn us that we should be careful.

2. The underlined word "nomophobia" in Paragraph 2 means ________.

     It's a nightmare for Huazhong University of Science and Technology (HUST): within a week, two
students committed suicide by jumping off dorm buildings.
     Officials from the university are reluctant (不情愿的) to give interviews.
    "We had a hard time calming down students who were shocked at the suicides," said Zhang Jingyuan,
head of HUST's center for research and guidance for students' development.
    "Media coverage (报导) may arouse some students' negative emotions again. Suicide can be
contagious (传染性的)," Zhang said.
     The university reacted promptly to the first suicide on October 23.
     Advisors and class leaders conducted dorm-to-dorm checks to find students suffering depression.
Then psychologists offered one-on-one counseling to them.
     Notice boards publicizing tips for identifying peers' mental problems and offering help were set up in
front of dorm buildings. Leaflets (传单) carrying similar information were handed out to each dorm.
     However, the second suicide came seven days later.
     Both students were described as men of few words. Their schoolmates didn't see anything to indicate
suicide.
     Zhang revealed that the two students had been bothered by mental disorders. But the school didn't
know this until the students' close friends outside school and their parents unveiled (揭露) the truth after
the suicides.
     According to Zhang, there are only three full-time counselors (心理辅导专家) working in the
university's counseling center for its 60,000 students. He complained: "It's unrealistic to rely only on
counselors to detect students' mental problems."
     Some universities in the US may be able to offer solutions to Zhang's worries. They have established
programs to train students to be the bridge between troubled friends and counselors.
     At Worcester Polytechnic Institute, at Worcester, Massachusetts, US, young people in the Student
Support Network role play to learn how to detect SOS signals from their schoolmates.
     They also practice how to gently persuade emotionally troubled students to go for professional help.
     To develop such empathy (同理心), many universities in China have organized campus events to
popularize knowledge about mental health. But these are not that attractive to students.
     Ke Juanjuan, 24, is pursuing a master's degree in English translation at HUST. Ke has found that few
of her peers will pay attention to activities about mental health when they are not troubled by it.
     Rather than bombard students with the words "mental health", Ke suggested the school organize
lectures and workshops concerning study, job-hunting and relationships. She explained: "Students care
about these topics. They tend to have problems in these areas and may thus get stuck in depression.
     "By helping students better deal with these problems, the school can effectively prevent self-inflicted
injury and suicide among students."
     Effective prevention comes from long-term education for life instead of temporary intervention(干预)
to meet an emergency, said Hu Yi'an. Hu delivers a course of lectures on life and death at Guangzhou
University. He worries that universities have paid little attention to education for life.
     "Education for life helps students respect and love life so they won't resort(诉诸) to ending their lives
when they have difficulties," said Hu.
     According to Hu, the principles can be incorporated (结合) into everyday teaching.
