Stop Phubbing （低頭族）
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"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．
