1、2022年职称英语理工类A级阅读理解练习题1A Phone That Knows Youre BusyIts a modern problem：youre too busy to be disturbed by incessant(连绵不断的)phonecalls so you turn your cellphone off .But if you dont remember to turn it back on when youreless busy.you could miss some important calls if only the phone knew when it was

5、r or not the computer was in use.The sensors monitored these and many other factors while four subjects were at work . Atrandom intervals，the subjects rated how interruptible they were on a scale ranging from“highlyinterruptibleto“highly notinterruptible” . Their ratings were then correlated with th
6、e variousbehaviors . “It is a shotgun(随意的)approach：we used all the indicators we could think of andthen let statistics find out which were important，” says HudsonThe model showed that using the keyboard，and talking on a landline or to someone else inthe office correlated most strongly with how inter
7、ruptible the subjects judged themselves to be.Interestingly，the computer was actually better than people at predicting when someone wastoo busy to be interrupted . The computer got it right 82 per cent of the time，humans 77 per cent.Fogarty speculates that this might be because people doing the inte
