Next time you’re in a public place, take a look around you, and count how many people are using their phones. I can tell you that it is probably more than half, whether you’re in a bus, in a café or simply walking down the street.

I’m not saying that I am not an example of this, but I wonder how people can spend so much time on their phones without actually talking to anyone in particular. We can now do almost anything with a phone. But has it gone too far? We spend too much time on our mobiles but not enough time talking to people in real life.

Last time I visited London, I traveled by subway. I noticed that almost everybody else

was on their phones except those who were asleep. People were playing games, reading articles and listening to music.

Recently, my smart phone broke and I had to use an old basic phone just to keep in touch with my family and friends. I could only send text messages, make calls and play one game with it. And I loved it. I loved being free from the Internet, and I really didn’t mind what my friends were doing or what the latest news was. I could enjoy my time watching the people around me and seeing what was going on.

However, I knew that as soon as I got my smart phone back, I would be one of those people once again.

1.The writer finds that _________ people are using their phones in public places.

A. most B. few C. half D. all

2.Which of the following cannot be done on a phone?

A. Playing games. B. Sending text messages.

C. Listening to music. D. Having meals.

3.The writer could use his old basic phone to __________.

A. surf the Internet

B. watch the people around him

C. play one game

D. look through the latest news

4.What didn’t the writer see on the subway when he visited London?

A. People were sleeping.

B. People were talking with each other.

C. People were playing games.

D. People were using their phones.

5.From this article, we know that __________.

A. everybody was on their phones when the writer traveled in London by subway

B. most people spend enough time talking to people in real life

C. the writer enjoyed his time without his smart phone

D. the writer won’t use his smart phone any more
