Let me be upfront about the fact that I hate telephones.The phone rings when it wants to and   1   when I want itto.I can't   2   who's on the other end of the phone;evenwhen I place the call,there's no guarantee who or whetheranyone will   3  .When I'm talking to someone on thephone.I'm   4   of facial expression,“body language”dozens of   5   that will help me best make my case.And the sound of a telephone ringing late at night will raise my blood Pressure   6   I can persuade my kids to live at home— andbe in by 10∶30.— the   7   of their lives.

  So I could hardly be   8   to be happy about the increase of cell phones.But I'm not the   9   one who's cranky(脾气坏的)about cell phones ringing in theatres,restaurants,airports,trains,and shopping malls.You know how little kidsthink they're   10   from you if they cover their eyes?That's how cell phone users strike me in front of their faces and pre-tend I can't hear the   11   of their latest conquests— busi-ness,soclal,or private.

  But I'm   12   a casual crankiness about the lack of social skills of the average cell phone user.I think we're so   13   with the ostensible(表面的)convenience of the commun-cation that we're overlooking the effectiveness we're losing.

  We humans seem to repeatedly forget our   14  :that time for deep thoughts and focus is part of what makes us healthy.  15  ,we'll catch on that all this interruption is nothing we should live with.

  Are we   16   what we would choose to?  17   we can,in fact,choose.And I choose to leave my cell phone,turned   18  ,in my glove box.And finally,to the guy   19   on his cellphone while walking on my heels:“  20   up.Take arest,and think for a while”.
