Zombies(僵尸) are real! You meet them every day on the sidewalk. They walk slowly, with their heads down and they will not look at you. They are living in a different world, a world of the mobile phone!

    Many people are complaining(抱怨) about these mobile phone zombies because they walk slowly, making it difficult for other people to use the sidewalk. Chongqing and a few other cities have come up with an idea to try to solve the problem. They've divided up sidewalks into lanes(线路):one lane for mobile﹣zombies and one lane for everyone else. The experiment hasn't worked out too well, since most mobile﹣zombies don't even notice the lanes.

    I have another suggestion for the problem. In Shanghai, we have blind paths. They are made of small raised tiles(凸起的瓷砖)that help blind people follow a straight line. Perhaps the same way could be used for mobile﹣zombies. A lane with a rough surface would allow people to concentrate on their mobile phones and still know they are walking in a straight line. Of course, I have a further suggestion. At the end of the lane would be a large hole where all the mobile﹣zombies would disappear into the center of the earth!

    Well, I don't think my suggestion is going to be taken, but I don't think special lanes for mobile﹣zombies will work, either. I think it's just a better idea to remind(提醒) people that sidewalks are shared space and they should think of others when they are using their mobile phones.

(1)According to the passage, who are mobile phone zombies?  

A. The people who always look here and there on the road.

B. The people who always play with mobile phones on the road.

C. The people who hate using mobile phones when they are walking on the road.

(2)Why has not the lane for mobile﹣zombies in Chongqing worked out well?  

A. Because it is too expensive to walk on the lanes.

B. Because there are so few lanes in Chongqing.

C. Because few mobile﹣zombies notice the lanes in fact.

(3)The underlined word "rough" in Paragraph 3means "  " in Chinese.

A. 粗糙的

B. 光滑的

C. 漂亮的

(4)Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?  

A. Shanghai has also built lanes for the mobile﹣zombies.

B. The writer's suggestion for the mobile﹣zombies was taken.

C. Mobile﹣zombies should think of others on the road.

(5)The passage may come from  

A. a story

B. a newspaper

C. a notice
