Today, more and more people use cell phones while they are moving, putting themselves and othes in danger. These people are called the “Heads-down Tribe(族)”. Are you a heads-down tribe member?

More and more traffic accidents are happening because more drivers use cell phones when they are driving. In order to make drivers pay more attention to driving, some traffic rules have been set down. For example, heads-down tribe members who use cell phones while driving in Taiwan will be fined. Drivers who break the traffic rule will be fined NT$3,000 and motorcyclists(骑摩托车的人)caught using cell phones when driving will have to pay NT$1,000.

As we can see above, keeping heads down and using cell phones may cause accidents and even cost much. Besides, more and more interesting and strange facts happen to the “Heads-down Tribe”. Let’s have a look at an interesting TV report. A man in America kept using his cell phone on his way home. As a result, he bumped(碰撞) into a big lost bear. When he raised his head, he was so frightened that he turned round and ran away as quickly as possible. Another fact is that we can often see people in the restaurant eating face to face but focusing on their own cell phones. It’s strange that they don’t talk to the ones who sit opposite to them during the meal. Some of them even have fun communicating with others on the phone.

Cell phones are helpful and necessary tools for modern people. Are cell phones good or bad? It depends on how people use them. Let’s be “health” users and try to be the “Heads-up Tribe”.

1.What do we know about the “Heads-down Tribe?

A. They are dangerous drivers.

B. They are good at using the Internet.

C. They are cool children.

D. They are always looking at their mobile phones.

A. encouraged B. raised money

C. sent D. punished

3.According to the reading, what do the “Heads-down Tribe”do when they eat in a restaurant?

A They talk to people who sit opposite

B. They talk to strangers who sit next to them.

C. They focus on their food and drink.

D. They focus on their own cell phones.

4.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Let’s try to be “Heads-down Tribe”.

B. We should use mobile phones properly.

Sheep always follow each other and never really think about where they are going. Perhaps fashion makes us into “sheep”. Maybe we should find our own way and not follow the crowd. Everyone wants to wear top brand clothing. However, we should remember that clothes designers(设计师) study what ordinary people wear on the street. Then they make clothes like ordinary people’s for everyone. Therefore, fashion really starts with individual(个人的) finding a new look. Then a company uses that look and then it becomes fashionable! That doesn’t mean you will. That is to say, a model might look perfect in a shirt but that doesn’t mean you will.

The same goes for mobile phones. Young people are always asking me when to change my mobile phones. Mobile phone companies are always putting new functions on their phones but do we really need all these extra functions? I use my phone to call people and to send messages to my friends. I don’t need a camera, Internet surfing or a calendar on my phone. Again, if you buy the latest phone, it will only be the latest phone for a month or so. Then something new will come out and you’ll be unfashionable again. You can’t keep up with fashion all the time, so you don’t need to follow the fashion.

1. The underlined word “sheep” means”________.”

A. a kind of animal which is white

B. people who always follow the fashion

C. honest people who want to be fashionable

D. black sheep which break laws

2.Clothes designers study what you wear on the street because______________.

A. are sure to be beautiful B. will become a model

C. will be smarter D. may not look perfect

4. The passage is written mainly to _________.

A. explain what sheep are

B. tell us to buy new mobile phones

C. tell us not to be “sheep”

D. tell students not to care about the clothes

5.What can we infer from the article?

A. Sheep which are out of date have been killed.

B. The writer is a person who always follows the fashion.

C. Fashion only exists among those fashion models.

D. Fashion changes so quickly that we can hardly keep up with it.
