EXERCISE (3):Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Carrie loved her phone and her tablet. She was always looking at one or the other.
Her parents would try to talk to her about her life, but she would just ignore them until
they left her alone. When she was at school, she'd sneak peeks at her phone under her
desk whenever she could. When she was at parties, she spent more time interacting with
the devices than with the people around her. Even at concerts and sporting events,
Carrie seldom removed her eyes from these tiny screens. One day Carrie was walking
home from a friend's house and watching a funny video of people slipping on ice. She
began crossing the street just after the light changed. She was so into the video that she
did not notice the oncoming traffic. She walked directly into the traffic while laughing at
the falling people on her tiny screen and was hit by a bus. Carrie sustained mild injuries,
but both of her devices were destroyed. As far as she was concerned, her life was over.
