TEXT A
：

In
the
case
of
mobile
phones,
change
is
everything.
Recent
research
indicates
that
the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.
First. Let’s talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its
parent, the fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.
This
has
several
implications.
The
most
common
one,
however,
and
perhaps
the
thing
that
has
changed
our
culture
forever,
is
the
“meeting”
influence.
People
no
longer
need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday
night
would
need
to
be
arranged
in
advance.
You
needed
enough
time
to
allow
everyone
to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night
out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”, but “
text
me around 8 and we’ll see where we all are”.

Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “insights into the Social and
Psychological Effects of SMS Text Messaging”, two British researchers
distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the
“talkers” and the
“texters”
-those who prefer voice to text message and those who prefer text to
voice.
They found that the mobile phone’s individuality and privacy gave texters the
ability
to
express
a
whole
new
outer
personality.
Texters
were
likely
to
report
that
their
family
would
be
surprised
if
they
were
to
read
their
texts.
This
suggests
that
texting
allowed
texters
to
present
a
self- image
that
differed
from
the
one
familiar
to those who knew them well.
Another
scientist
wrote
of
the
changes
that
mobiles
have
brought
to
body
language.
There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the

“speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self
-confident way, chatting away. And
there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves an
d keep out other
people.
Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera-phones
intrude on people’s privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you
nervous. But perhaps you needn’t worry so much. After all, it is good to
talk.
1 when people plan to meet nowadays, they
A: arrange the meeting place beforehand
B. postpone fixing the place till last minute
C: seldom care about when and where to meet
D: still love to work out detailed meeting plans.
2
According
to
the
two
British
researchers,
the
social
and
psychological
effect
are
mostly likely to be seen on
A: TALKERS
B; the
c. the “spacemaker”

D. texters
3 We can infer from the passage that the texts sent by texters are
A: quite revealing
B: well written
c: unacceptable by others
