第17題答案：v

第18題答案：viii

對應(yīng)原文：E段：they think that at least some of it comes down to personality.

第19題答案：iii

對應(yīng)原文：F段：our over-connected lifestyles might even be a new source of boredom … perhaps we should leave our phones alone, and use boredom to motivate us to engage with the world in a more meaningful way.
