Question

【題目】 Fun and practical, these apps are worth downloading

*Forest

When working on your homework, you might sometimes find that your smart phone is distracting （使分心） you. An app called Forest can help you stay focused. When you set a new task in the app and set a certain amount of time to finish it, a tree seed will be “planted” in the app. If you keep finishing your task, the seed will grow into a tree. But if you close the app and play with your phone instead, the tree will wither and even die. Once you finish the task, your tree will be “planted” in the app. Gradually, you will have a forest! You can share your achievements with your friends and try to “plant” different kinds of trees.

*Rocket Alarm Clock

It’s hard to get out of bed every morning. You might hit the “snooze” button（“打盹”按鈕） on your alarm clock again and again just to get a little more sleep. However, the Rocket Alarm Clock app can help!

The app’s alarm cannot be easily turned off. You have to shake your phone wildly, solve difficult math problems, or even blow into your phone’s microphone to turn it off. For example, in one of the app’s modes, there are some unidentified flying objects( UFOs) that are attacking（攻擊） the earth. You have to blow hard on your microphone to get rid of（擺脫） the UFOs and turn off the alarm.

*Xiawen

This app makes reading news feel like chatting with a friend. News stories pop up（彈出） just like a text message from a friend. If you’re interested, you can click “read on”. If not, just click “new one”.

In addition, the app’s news stories are presented in an interesting way. There are emojis（表情符號）, audio clips （音頻剪輯） and memes to help you better understand each piece of news. If you want to comment on the stories you read, you can join different groups and discuss the stories with others.
