Last month a young girl lost her life under the wheels of a truck when she crossed the road. She is responsible for her death. The girl was busy checking the WeChat information on her smart phone， snubbing(無視）the traffic lights. Suddenly， a car came fast and hit her. The girl lay on the ground and couldn’t get up at once. Just at that time， a running truck failed to stop and ran over her. What a bloody lesson!

We may see people looking down at their cell phones everywhere in our life: in subway， restaurants， elevators， roads. From family party to date with a friend， people couldn’t stop playing with their cell phones or checking their QQ， WeChat， facebook on their phones， snubbing the people around completely. “Phubbing(低頭族）” is a new term which comes from the words “phone”and “snub”. It describes the habit of snubbing someone because of fixing on a cell phone. The word “phubbing”was included in the Australian National Dictionary in 2012.

Phubbing is a global phenomenon now. Not only the young people， but also the elderly and kids can be seen playing with their cell phones everywhere. It seems that it is not a big matter， however， it does disturb our life. Shen Hongfei， an epicure(美食家)， wrote in his blog， “I can no longer focus on what I am eating since I started sending photos of the food on WeChat. My skill of food photography has improved very fast， while my interest in food drops gradually.

Are you also a phubber? Let’s put down the cell phone and enjoy the taste of food and the warmth of family communication.

閱讀下面短文，簡(jiǎn)要回答所給問題。

Have you ever been to Thailand? It is a country in Southeast Asia. I’ve been in Thailand for a few days with my parents. We are here for a holiday.

Now we are staying in Bangkok(曼谷). It is the capital of Thailand and it is a very interesting place to visit. Yesterday we visited some places of interest in the city. They are great! This morning we went shopping. Bangkok is a wonderful place to shop for jewelry(珠寶) and clothes. My mother bought a nice necklace(項(xiàng)鏈). My father and I bought some fashionable T-shirts.

Thailand is called “Land of Smiles” because people here are very friendly. And it’s true! When we eat in the restaurants in Bangkok, the waiters are really nice and they are always smiling. Thai food is delicious, but it is sometimes a little spicy(辛辣的) for me. You can also get Chinese food here because a lot of Chinese people came to live in Bangkok many years ago. Chinese food is very good, and it isn’t as spicy as Thai food. Our American food can also be found in Bangkok, however, I don’t eat it. You know, I’d like to try new things when I travel.

The weather has been very hot. Yesterday it rained and got a little cooler. But today it’s hot again.

1.Where is Thailand?

2.Where is a good place to shop for jewelry(珠寶) and clothes?

3.Why do people call Thailand “Land of Smiles”?

4.What does the writer think of Thai food?

5.Is Chinese food as spicy as Thai food?
