( im free now, why not give me a call )mobile phone users have developed a series of symbols ( 一系列符号) to show how they feel. they are called emoticons (情感符号). to read an emoticon, you have to look at it sideway. for example, if you say something in a text message which is a joke, you can follow it with a smiling face. like this : why didt u cll me ?im so sad. :-)here are some others. can you think of these text messages where you could use them ?:-( sad :- really sad | - | asleep :-v shouting 8-| surprised40 talking on a mobile phone is _than sending text messages.a. slower b. cheaper c. more expensive d. more interesting41 mobile phone users use emoticons to show _. a. what they do b. who they are c. where they talk d. how they feel42 what do you think this text message “whr hv u bn ?
