ADon‟t you hate it when someone snubs（冷落）you by looking at their phone instead of paying attention? The word “Phubbing”, which comes from “phone” and “snub”, describes such behavior . With popularization of smart phones, we see a new "Phubbing" group everywhere in public places: in subway, restaurants, elevators, roads, people are checking the mobile phone, ignoring the people around completely. What is worrying us is that not only young people, but also the elderly and kids are getting addicted（上瘾）to Phubbing.On Dec 29, a 28-year-old woman—a mother of two in Wenzhou, drowned after she fell into a river while looking at her mobile phone. A Pakistani man was killed on Dec 15, 2015, after being hit by a fast moving train while trying to take a selfie (自拍)with it on the track. Last month, Justin, a college student was shot in subway in San Francisco, the U.S. The surveillance video showed that before Justin was killed, the killer pulled out the gun several times, and even wiped his nose with it. However, nobody noticed that. The surrounding passengers all focused on their cell phones.Phone is the tool for communication, but now it distances people and makes them separated from each other. Therefore, s omeone jokes “the furthest distance in the worl d is not the distance between life and death, but that you don‟t know I stand in front of you while you focus on the mobile.”Phubbing appears harmless; however, it does affect our life. 23-year-old Alex from Melbourne wrote in his blog: "I can no longer focus on what I am eatin g since I started twittering. My skill of food photography has improved very fast, while my interest in food drops a lot as a result."21.

I don't know ifyou've told anyone if it's made you rather unpleasant to be around. But I do know that I'm sorry that you're hurting, or stressed, or tired, or depressed, or lonely, or scared or lost.I thought about writing this letter in a couple of different ways. I thought about writing it about the things you could do to feel better. Or I thought about focusing the letter on how the "bad weeks" can actually be pretty beautiful if you look at them the right way. I almost wrote those letters, but I ended up deciding that I wasn't writing to make anyone feel better -- I just want you to feel heard.There's something about humans that makes us want our pain to be recognized. There is something good and comforting in having someone say, "Yeah, that sounds really hard."But unfortunately, that's not always the direction that society pushes us in. We have been taught that bad days are to be silently borne beneath a bright smile, which is uncomfortable.I want you to know you can feel free to spill your bad day all over the place and wear it on the front of your shirt. I want you to know that the expressions of your pain are beautiful and that I will try my very hardest to feel the hurt with you. I want you to know that your stressed out, short-tempered self is just as awesome as your cheerful self. Please do not shun（回避）your suffering.In writing this, I know that I hear you, and let yourself be healed（治愈）. I hope your day turns around, and that even if it doesn't, you can still find a few moments of beauty and happiness in all the mess. For all of you not having bad days -- carry on, and enjoy.Sincerely,Clara Wagner24. What does the underlined sentence mean?A. Let out your bad feelingsB. Don‟t give your anger awayC.

I had so many ideas of what I could be, from a designer to a lawyer. But I had no idea how to narrow down those dreams.In August of 2014, I started my undergraduate degree （本科学位）at Florida State University. College was not as easy as I expected it to be. It was difficult to find a balance between my outside activities and my classroom work.I remember the moment I found out that I had received a “D” in my math class. Something had to change. I knew I couldn‟t continue to spend time on something I dearly loved: tutoring (辅导)primary school children. The heartbreak I felt made me realize how much I truly loved the feeling of giving back.Two years after graduation, I decided to go back to school to get a Master‟s degree （硕士学位）in Public Administration at Florida Gulf Coast University (FGCD). I wanted to focus on （专心于）management but had no idea what exactly I wanted to focus on.One message changed my life. I had been searching every corner of the Internet. Then I had a moment when I just knew I‟d found it. I came across “She‟s the First”, an organization devoted to educating girls in developing countries.I knew the woman I wanted to become. I had to go for it. I sent a message to the founder of She‟s the First and became one of the organization‟s first interns (实习生).My sense of certainty slowly came back. I went on to become a member of the organization‟s research team and set up a campus chapter （校园专栏）at FGCU. I completed my Master‟s degree and got a job at the PACE Center for Girls in Jacksonville, Florida. I work as a socialservice counselor (顾问)and every day I have the opportunity to change lives. I help teenage girls to reach for their dreams.Because of She‟s the First, I found my voice and now I get to help young women find theirs.27.
