I'd just got in a taxi at the railway station when suddenly I found one of my bags missing. Just then, I saw a young man about 30 feet away with it, opening it and drawing out the valuables. "Stop thief! Stop thief!" I shouted and opened the car door and rushed out to him, followed by the driver and half a dozen passengers. Very soon they caught the thief by the neck and put his hand into his trouser pocket, drawing out money, credit card, telephone book and so on and put them back into my bag,

Half an hour later, the car was running at full speed on the highway. I sat back and breathed a long sigh of relief(松口氣). But as I pulled out those stolen things from the bag and started to check them, I became completely surprised. Before my eyes were 200 yuan instead of 100 yuan. And a medical test report of a 58-year-old woman appeared. I suddenly realized that the taxi driver must have mistaken the thief's things for mine and put his into my bag. My heart began to sink.

Two years has passed since then. But this event keeps coming back to me. Was the young man a habitual robber(慣偷) or a dutiful(有責任感的) son who had been driven to desperation(鋌而走險) to find money to save his mother' s life? My heart hurts for him. How I wish I had gone back that summer afternoon to return the 200 yuan and say sorry to him! For the first time in my life, I realized that hate and love are very close.

Here' s the situation. You' re sitting at the table listening to the conversation when your mobile phone buzzes. There is something VERY IMPORTANT that wants your attention. You may think that a quick check of your phone isn't rude. However, your companies probably disagree.

A recent study of mobile phone use found that most US adults think checking your phone is rude in social situations. The study found that only 5 percent of Americans felt that checking your mobile phone during a meeting can be accepted. Only 12 percent approval of checking your mobile phone during a family dinner.

The study said, "Americans think that when people focus on their phones instead of their companies, it hurts the group in which they are taking part. People can be hurt when they feel they are not noticed. And 82 percent of all adults (not just phone owners) say that when people use their mobile phones at social gatherings, it at times hurts the conversation and atmosphere(氣氛) of the gathering." However, most people use mobile phones in social situations even though they believe it is rude. Perhaps that' s because they see others doing it. People may use their phones at social events to share something from the event. That might be a photo, information, or to separate from the group.

In the study, about three-fourths of US adults view using mobile phones in public as acceptable when using public transportation, waiting in line, and walking down the street. But most US adults disapprove of cell phone use at the dinner table, in movie theaters, meetings. Then what about you? Do you use your mobile phone when you' re around others? Did you use your mobile phone at your last social event? Were other people using their phones too? Have people ever been rude to you when they used their mobile phones?
