Here is news that since October 25,2017,in Honolulu,the capital city of Hawaiiit will be illegal texting or using a gadget while crossing the street.In other words,if you insist doing like that,you will be punished.

Some give the Honolulu government thumbs up.Some shake their heads to show their disagreement.

Dangers hide around us.Some are unpredictable,but most are evitable if we give them a little attention.The odds are people are more likely not to realize the existence of dangers or refuse to take them seriously until something bad happens.

We often hear people get themselves hurt or killed because of the wrongly using of a phone or an electric device.But it seems miles away as long as we don’t experience it for person.

When your focus is on your phone or other gadget,texting,making oranswering a call,checking messages from QQ or Wechat while crossing the street or traveling in other places,you are possibly putting yourself and others in a dangerous situation.

有消息說從2017年10月25日開始，在夏威夷首府檀香山，橫穿馬路時(shí)發(fā)短信或使用手機(jī)將被視為非法。換句話說，如果你堅(jiān)持這么做，你會(huì)受到懲罰。

有人給檀香山政府的舉措點(diǎn)贊，也有人表達(dá)了不滿。

危險(xiǎn)無處不在。有些危險(xiǎn)不可預(yù)測(cè)，有些則可以避免，只要我們稍加留心。但現(xiàn)實(shí)是人們無視它的存在或不把它當(dāng)回事，直到不好的事情發(fā)生。

我們經(jīng)常聽說某人因?yàn)殄e(cuò)誤使用手機(jī)或者其他電子設(shè)備受傷或者喪命。但只要事情發(fā)生不到我們自己頭上，就總認(rèn)為危險(xiǎn)離我們很遙遠(yuǎn)。

當(dāng)你橫穿馬路或行走于其他地方，注意力集中在手機(jī)上時(shí)（發(fā)信息、接打電話、查看QQ或者微信），你把你自己還有他人放在了一個(gè)危險(xiǎn)的境地。
