VIII Read the passage and choose the best answer.
You can't go anywhere these days without hearing the buzz of mobile phones If that
noise isn't enough to drive you mad, have you noticed that people who use mobile
phones have louder voices than anyone else? When you shout that loudly, you don't
need a phone, the person you are calling will probably hear you anyway!
People who have mobile phones say that they can't live without them, but they
managed quite well before they had them You cannot escape them; you hear them on
buses and trains, in the street, at the supermarket, even in places where you expect it to
be quiet, like cinemas, theatres and libraries Is there anything more annoying than
having to listen to unnecessarily loud voices talking to people who aren't there, while
you are trying to enjoy a pleasant dinner at a "quiet" restaurant? I find it rude and
anti-social Even school kids have mobile phones now A teacher I know told me not long
ago that lessons were often interrupted by phones ringing More seriously, mobile
phones can be dangerous According to the police, about a quarter of all road accidents
are caused by people driving while using mobile phones
