Like most new fathers, Samuel Forrest was excited to meet his son, but he had no idea just how much that first meeting would change his life.

On 21 January, baby Leo was born with Down’s Syndrome(唐氏综合症).

“They took me in to see him and I looked at this guy and I said, he’s beautiful, he’s perfect and I’m absolutely keeping him.” Forrest told ABC News.

But Forrest’s wife did not share the same feelings. She reportedly gave Forrest a deadline, saying if the father wanted to keep the baby, she would divorce him.

Forrest, from Auckland, New ealand, said he was unaware that hospitals in Armenia “will tell you that you don’t have to keep babies with Down’s Syndrome.”

He’s now planning to raise Leo by himself as a single father back in his native country of

C. before March 6, 2016

New ealand, where he can be near friends and family for support.

The new father has created a GoFundMe page called “Bring Leo Home” to collect money for the costly move.

“This really happened to me unexpectedly,” he told ABC news. “ I don’t have a lot. I have very little in fact.” The goal is to raise enough for a year so I can get a part-time job so Leo doesn’t have to be in daycare and I can help care for him.”

ABC News spoke to Leo’s mother Ruzan Badalyan who said that she did have a child with Down’s Syndrome and that she had left her husband. She declined to comment further.

The father’s GoFundMe page has already raised over $175,000 in just nine days. The page now states that additional funds will be given out to charity.

“We’d also like to share the extra money with the only orphanage in Armenia that regularly takes abandoned Down’s Syndrome babies as well as other organizations that can help these children,” it says.

What is your relationship like with your mobile phones? Do you use it for calls? Texts, social media, games, apps, internet or all of the above? I use my phone for work, pleasure, and socializing. It’s the first thing I pick up in the morning and the last thing I put down before I go to sleep. I even find it hard to put it face-down on the table while eating in fear someone “needs me”.

In recent years, mobile phones have become a popular part of our lives. In England in the year 2013, that number had jumped to 94 percent.

One reason why this may be the case is that, while in the past, technology was used on the environment it was built for---for example, TV for relaxing or computer in the office---mobile phones have bridged the gap, so we can relax, work or interact wherever and whenever we want.

B. To help the children with Down’s

No wonder so many of us see our mobile phones as an extension of ourselves and wouldn’t dare leave it at home.

While the number of mobile phone users has climbed, so has the number of people becoming addicted to technology. A study by researchers states, “significant mental and physical disorder, panic, confusion and extreme loneliness when forced to unplug from technology for an entire day.” One day of non-usage of technology produced systems similar to drug withdrawal. So why have so many of us been so seduced that we can’t stand being without technology?

Having thought about my own phone usage, I thought to myself, “What would actually happen if I didn’t use it? If I didn’t connect on social media, would I have the same “mental and physical disorder” as the students in the study?”

I think this would be a great learning experience to see exactly how much technology has affected our lives.

So, I decided I would do three days of no mobile or social media. How would I cope? 28. What is the main idea of the first paragraph? A. Mobile phones are used in many different ways. B.

To remind us not to lose our mobile phones. B. To tell us TV is mainly used for relaxing.

C. To tell us computers are used as a tool in offices. D. To show the advantages of mobile phones.

30. What does the underlined word “seduced” mean in Paragraph 6? A. Addicted.

B. Surprised.

C. Impressed

D. Persuaded.

31. What will be discussed in the following paragraph? A. The great effects technology has on our daily lives. B. How to handle the situation without a mobile phone. C. The three-day experiences without a mobile phone. D. How to get rid of the addiction to mobile phones.
