2019高考英语:石家庄一模阅读理解04——At 9:30 a.m.

At 9:30 a.m. on a Wednesday morning, I received a notification (通知)that I'd already picked up my phone 30 times that day! “11 left until you go over your goal of 41 pickups，"my screen read. “Put your phone down until 9:52 a.m.! Enjoy your time living in the moment.”

These updates were sent via Moment，an app that tracks my screen time，created by Kevin Holesh in 2014 to fight his own device addiction. He was working as an independent app developer, spending hours each day staring at screens. After work，Holesh found that he was looking mindlessly online instead of talking to his wife or taking his dogs for a walk.

“ I wanted a way of seeing how much time I was sinking into my phone，” he said. “ So I came up with something that could monitor my screen time.” Holesh found that he was spending 75 minutes on his phone a day. He added a function to the app that informed him whenever his screen time was more than 40 minutes. “My phone would make a sound like a bee, and I’d go and do something else. It was like a little angel on my shoulder pushing me in the right direction"，he said. Holesh figured that if the system worked for him，it would work for others, and later that year he made Moment a free app. To date, it has been downloaded 8 million times.

Besides,Moment also has a “coach” function, offering guided programs to help users focus and be more productive, for $ 7.99 a month.

“I am so much happier，I sleep better, I read more，I take better care of myself, and most of all I am present in my day-to-day life，” Jack，a user said. Similar comments on Moment reflect a growing consciousness around “ digital wellness ”，the name given to lifestyle practices that encourage healthy device use.
