I remember waiting nervously as my teacher Mr. Right gave out our papers one after another. It was a rather difficult test. I heard my classmates groaning(叹息), and I could guess by the groans that the scores werent looking good. Mr. Right put my paper on my desk. There in big red numbers, circled to catch attention, was my score, 55! I let my head go down, and covered the score up quickly. A 55 is not something that you wanted your classmates to see. “The scores were not very good,none of you passed,” Mr. Right said. “The highest score in the class was a 55.”A 55.Thats me! Suddenly my sad look didnt feel so bad. I had the highest score. I was getting a little better. I walked home alone that day with the low but high score.My mother knew that I had a bigtest that day and asked me as soon as I got home,“How did you do in your test?” “I got 55,”Isaid.A frown(皱眉)appeared on my mothers face.I knew I had to explain at once. “But Mum, I had the highest score in the class,” I said proudly. “You failed! Dave!” my motherreplied. “But its the highest!” I insisted(坚持).“I dont care what scores others had, but you failed.

But what about texting while walking? A 2018 study reported that more than 2, 500 people in the US ended up in hospitals resulting from using a mobile device(设备) while walking.Hawaii passed a law making it illegal(违法的) to text or look down at a mobile device while crossing the street, it is the first state with a law like this. Do people think more places should accept such a law? The LA Times did a survey. Here are some replies they received.Rena Jose, 26, New York Which is more important, texting or safety? If you are looking at your phone while walking, you might not see a car come or traffic lights turn red. It can be very dangerous. For example, in Japan, one person fell into a lake and another got her leg stuck in a hole, because both had their mind on their phone. We should make texting while crossing the street illegal in more cities.Andy Selvam, 55, California People do many things that cause injury to themselves but are not illegal, such as climbing mountains, driving cars, swimming and so on. People might get hurt from texting and walking if theyre not paying attention. But I still think they should have a choice.Bob Madigan, 45, Oregon As humans, we can make our own decisions. Im not saying its safe, but we dont need the government to babysit us. If we want to learn to make smart decisions, the government needs to stop telling us what to do. After all, this is a free country.Andrew Black, 34, Alaska This law is a good ideacompare this protection with seat belts. If this law is passed all over the USA, people will be worried. But is there really a way to please everyone? This would not be for fun. It would be safe and good for all Americans.19 .
