問題詳情

四、閱讀測驗【請在下列各題中選出最適當的答案】Believe it or not, texting while walking causes more accidents than texting and driving. Although injuriesfrom texting and driving are usually more serious, injuries from texting and walking occur more often. Bumpinginto walls, falling down stairs, tripping over clutter, or stepping into traffic—these are just some of the manyaccidents that can occur if a person texts while walking.While talking on the phone is a distraction, texting is much more dangerous because texters can’t see thepath in front of them. Worse still, such texters are a hazard not only to themselves but also to others, as theirdistraction makes it more likely that they may walk into someone else and knock them over. Every year, tens ofthousands of pedestrians are treated in emergency rooms across the United States, and as many as 10 percent ofthose visits result from accidents involving cellphones. What’s more, the number of injuries caused by textingand walking may be higher than official figures indicate, since people are embarrassed to admit that they wereinjured while texting.Historically, pedestrian accidents have most affected children, the intoxicated, or the elderly. A studyconducted by Dr. Jack L. Nasar at Ohio State University found that the number of pedestrian ER visits forinjuries related to cellphones tripled between 2006 and 2012, even though the total number of pedestrian injuriesdropped during that period. The study also found that adults under 30, mainly those between the ages of 16 and25, are most at risk for cellphone related injuries while walking.While Nasar recommends that pedestrians keep their eyes off of their phones until they reach theirdestination, he advises those who aren’t willing to stop texting while walking to use mobile applications that textvia voice command, or to use the phone’s camera to display the approaching streetscape while they text.
