问题    "Where’s Georgie?" It wasn’t the first time that question was heard inside our home. During the summer, pockets of time where our 4-year old had disappeared somewhere inside our old bed and breakfast had become commonplace. That next question: have you seen my phone?
   【F1】As parents who had adopted a parenting philosophy that emphasized flexibility and freedom as pathways to growth, our first tendency was to let Georgie go. But shortly before her fifth birthday we had noticed that something was different with Georgie. It wasn’t just the hours lost to the screen in the corner of her bedroom. Her interests had begun to change, too. The sun was out, but suddenly Georgie was less inclined to play on the swings. Like the rest of our children, Georgie loved scary stories. But now instead of begging for me to tell a "scary," she now preferred the comfort of her handheld digital counterpart.
   【F2】Speaking with other parents, we’ve since discovered that our story of the slippery slope of child-screen addiction has become alarmingly commonplace. The statistics tell an even scarier tale. Children aged 5 to 16 spend an average of six and a half hours a day in front of a screen, compared with around three hours in 1995.
   Dr. Andrew Doan, the head of addiction research for the Pentagon and the U.S. Navy calls video games and screen technologies "digital drugs." Many of these technologies are so stimulating that it raises the dopamine (多巴胺) levels—the feel-good neurotransmitter (神经传递素) most commonly linked to addiction. 【F3】It shows that long amounts of time focused on a screen can affect the brain’s frontal cortex (额皮质) in exactly the same way that cocaine does, according to research.
   Depression, anxiety and aggression have all been linked to excessive screen time, and can even spur psychotic-like features. 【F4】Further research shows that as more kids use digital media, their social skills erode, as the more time a child spends dedicated to cyber-reality the more they lose their ability to interpret real-life emotions.
   However, there is another, less intrusive fix: unplugging. A short time away from screens worked wonders for Georgie. After we took the phone away from her, a short period of agitation followed that could best be described as withdrawal. 【F5】But a few short days later she was back to playing outside with her baby sister, coloring, and in general being the energetic fun-loving kid we had feared had been lost.
【F5】
选项
答案但是几天之后，她又和她刚出生不久的妹妹一起回到外面玩耍、给图画涂色，总之，那个我们一度担心会失去的活力四射的可爱宝贝又回来了。
解析 ①本句为并列复合句，包含一个定语从句。②主句中a few short days later为时间状语成分；be back to…意为“又回到……”。③and in general可视作插入语，意为“总之”；being…lost前面省略了to；kid之后的we had feared修饰kid，省略了引导词who／whom。从句的谓语为过去完成时态，谓语之后为省略了引导词和主语that的宾语从句。
