21、 Our camp was situated on a remote island off the coast of Vancouver. I went with my classmates, and we had to get up at five in the morning to make the three-hour-long trip. When we got there, the first thing I noticed was how rustic(纯朴的)everything was. There were wooden cabins, forests surrounding us on all sides and a lake. There wasn't, to my disappointment, a computer lab, cell reception or wi-fi.
“Please hand over all electronic devices you have with you,” the camp guide announced once everyone was off the coast and standing on the-dock. “This includes cameras, cell phones, watches...” And the list went on and on. We were all dropping our stuff into a bag. When it was my turn, I hesitated for a second before carefully placing my phone into the bag with a heavy heart.
Right after we were all stripped of(剥夺)technology, the guides led us on a five-hour hike through the woods. Between the steep hills, muddy slopes and the soft, but incessant(不间断的)drizzling rain, I was completely worn out in the end. When I reached into my pocket wanting to check the time, my fingers, with disappointment, closed on thin air.
The next day, I was feeling slightly better. It had stopped raining, and we were going canoeing. Though I was eager for my phone, the longing was manageable. After two hours of non-stop canoeing, I realized I had not thought of my phone all morning. That afternoon was even busier, with lots of hiking, storytelling and swimming. I went to sleep, worn out but happy.
The next day was the third and final day of camping. I smiled as my friends excitedly chattered about finally getting access to the Internet again, but I didn't feel the same way anymore. Yes, the Internet is fun, but getting outdoors with your friends is even better.

23、One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?"
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon - in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It's your turn," he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one - without any words can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
【1】When he first met the author, David________.
A. felt a little excited
