     The group of tourists walking through Stockholm’s old street never knew what hit them. As they admired Swedish art works in a storefront window, one of their mobile phones chirped(唧唧叫)with an anonymous(匿名的)note:“Try the blue sweaters. They keep you warm in the winter.”

     The tourist had just been“bluejacked”-secretly sent a text message using short-range wireless technology called Bluetooth.

     The more people get Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones-both sender and receiver need them for this to work-the more there is likely to be mischievous(恶作剧的)messaging.

     Websites are already offering tips on bluejacking, and collections of astonished reactions quickly turn up on the Internet. One site, www, bluejackq. com, was set up by a British teenager.

     “I bluejacked three or four people,” says 13-year-old Ellie in UK, who runs the site and makes

bluejacking a daily affair. Bluetooth has a range of about nine metres. Ellie used it to send a note

to a man in a cafe asking how his coffee was and saying that she liked his wife’s glasses.

     Ellie says he looked here and there to try to figure out where the message came from, even

sending text messages back and forth with his wife, but to no avail.

     Bluetooth is fast becoming more common on new mobile phones, though Forrester Research

says at present only 9 per cent of phones in Europe have such a function.

     The technology is handy for people wanting to use wireless headsets with their phones or for

sending data by phone to Bluetooth-enabled printers.

     When Bluetooth is activated(激活), it seeks out other equipped mobile phones by itself and

sets up a link. Bluetooth phones can be set to block anonymous messaging, but people who carry

them don’t necessarily know that.

     London Thursday July 26(Reuters)-Ian Johnstone missed his girlfriend so much that he flew back to Britain from Australia to propose to her. The problem is that she flew in the opposite direction.

     He and Amy Dolby even managed to miss each other when they sat in the same airport waiting-room in Singapore at the same time to wait for connecting flights.

     Dolby, heartbroken when she arrived at Johnstone’s Sydney apartment to find he had flown to London, told the Times: “It was as though someone was playing a cruel joke on us. He is the most romantic person I have ever known. I think our problem is that we are both quite impulsive(冲动的)people. We are always trying to surprise each other.”

     After an 11,000-mile flight across the globe, she was greeted by Johnstone’s astonished flat mate asking what she was doing there.

     “The terrible truth dawned when I found that Ian’s  rucksack and most of his clothes were missing. I sat on the end of his bed and cried my eyes out. And that really annoyed me,” she said.

     Johnstone, a 27-year-old bricklayer, had taken a year off to travel round Australia. But he was missing Dolby, a 26-year-old secretary, so much he got a job on a Sydney building site and started saving for a surprise.

     He then flew home to Britain and went to her apartment armed with an engagement ring, champagne and flowers.

     “I really missed Amy and I’d been thinking about her all the time. I thought she was winding me up when she phoned me from Australia,”he said.

     Johnstone then asked Dolby to marry him on the phone. “I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry but I accepted, ”she said.

     Dolby was given a short tour of Sydney by Johnstone’s friends and Johnstone had to stay in Britain for two weeks because he could not change his ticket.
