  A Spaniard and his wife went to a foreign country in their car and drove around in it for several weeks.They always slept in big hotels in towns at night, but then something in their car broke.They took it to a garage, and the men there repaired it, but it took a long time, and the Spaniard and his wife were very late after that.

  They did not reach a town that evening, but came to a small village in the middle of the night.They were very tired, and the next town was forty miles away.They got out of their car and looked for a hotel in the small streets.They walked around the village for a quarter of an hour, and then they found a small hotel.There were not any others in the village.

  Then he found a bell and rang it.He rang it for several minutes, and then a window at the top of the hotel opened.An old man looked out of the window and said, “What do you want?”

There is famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

This was an age before telephones.Someone was delivering a message.When Colcridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration.His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his

door.His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment(碎片,片段).

This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.

The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them.But marc damaging may be the cell phone’s disruption of our thoughts.

We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our call phones, and this is by and large a healthy, productive development." I didn't hear it ring" or " I didn't realize my cell phone had shut off" arc among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.

The notion or idea of being unreachable is not a new concept-we havoc "Do Not Disturb" signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?

The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication.Until the recent mass deployment of cell phones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the

globe.We came to take it for granted.

But cell phones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves.Now time alone, or conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished.Even cell phone devotees, myself usually included, can't help at times wanting to throw their cell phone away, or curse the day they were invented.

But we don't and won't, and there really is no need.All that's required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it.

In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt for the rings of our phones.Given the case of making and receiving cell phone calls, if we don-t talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later.

A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from a person next to us.Though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg-who has  finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie.But most likely it is not, and I'm better

off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the pizza I’ll eat for lunch.

What's the point of the anecdote about poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs?

       A.To direct readers' attention to the main topic.

       B.To show how important inspiration is to a poet.

       C.To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cell phone.

       D.To encourage readers to read the works of this poet.

What does the writer thinks about people telling "white lies" about their cell phones?

       A.It is a way of signaling that you don-t like the caller.

       B.It is natural to tell lies about small things.

       C.It is basically a good way to protect one's privacy.

       D.We should feel guilty when we can't tell the truth.

According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cell phones?

A.People get so bothered by the cell phone rings that they fail to notice anything else.

B.People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cell phones.

C.Cell phones interrupt people’s private time.

D.With cell phones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.

What does the underlined word “contempt” probably mean?

       A.Habit.      B.Disrespect.       C.Like. D.Value.

What does last paragraph suggest?

       A.A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.

       B.Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.

       C.You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cell phone.

       D.Never let cell phones interfere too much with your life.
