Read the following passage and answer the questions.

In South Korea, smart-phone cases come with rings fixed firmly on the back to prevent clumsy owners from dropping them. This makes people look like they are literally married to their phones. In many of Seoul’s most Instagrammable（网红）coffee shops, couples on dates spend vastly more time looking at their screens than at each other. The outcomes go beyond the potentially serious consequences for romance.

Walk around the streets of Seoul or any other South Korean city, and there is a real risk of bumping into people whose eyes are glued to their smart-phone screens. Insurers estimate that around 370 traffic accidents annually are caused by pedestrians using smart-phones. That figure does not include those who bump into lamp posts and the like while perusing the latest cat videos.

The government initially tried to fight the “smornbie”(a combination of “smart-phone and “zombie”) epidemic by distributing hundreds of stickers around cities imploring people to “be safe” and look up. This seems to have had little effect even though, in Seoul at least, it recently replaced the stickers with sturdier plastic boards.

Instead of appealing to people’s good sense, the authorities have therefore resorted to trying to save them from being run over. Early last year, they began to trial floor-level traffic lights in smomibe hot-spots in central Seoul. Since then, the experiment has been extended around and beyond the capital. For the moment, the government is retaining old-fashioned eye-level pedestrian lights as well. But in future, the way to look at a South Korean crossroads may be down.

1.According to the passage, why do people look like they are married to their phone in South Korea.?
