Have you felt annoyed when a cell phone (手机)rings during the class? Something must be done to stop this. Now in New York City, USA, a rule is carried out（执行） in schools. Students can’t even bring cell phones to school. Is it a good thing or not?
Anxious（焦虑的） parents say that cell phones are an important tool in holding New York City’s families together.
“I worry about it,” said Elizabeth Lorris Ritter, a mother of a middle school kid. “It’s necessary in our everyday life. We have a washing machine, we have running water, and we have cell phones.”
A number of Americans think cell phones connect them to children on buses, getting out from subways, walking through unknown places.
“I have her call me when she gets out school,” said Lindsay Walt, a schoolgirl’s mother. “No one in New York is going to let their children go to school without a cell phone.
What about the cell phone owners, the students? Most of the students said that cell phones were necessary and the cell phone was like an extra(额外的)hand or foot for them.
“I feel so empty,” said May Chom, 14. “There is also no way to listen to music on the way to school without my phone. It will be a really, really boring trip.”

There would be a school party on Friday evening. The girls were talking about what they were going to wear.
“I’m going to wear a black dress, so everybody will notice me,” said Emily. “How about you, Linda?”
“I’m not sure. Maybe jeans, an old shirt, and a hat. People will notice me more than you!” Linda said.
“What are we going to do about the boys?” asked Jane. “Do you remember the last school party, last year? They just stood there, and we girls had to dance by ourselves!”
“I hear that some of the boys learned how to dance this summer. Maybe it’ll be better
this time,” said Mary.
The party was held on Friday evening. Groups of students arrived. The music began. The girls stood in a line on one side, and the boys on another side. Mr. Green, their teacher, tried to get them together, but failed. After a while, Tim said, “I don’t want to stand here the whole time. The party is only for two hours. It’ll be over soon.” He started to dance. All the others watched him. Then David asked Emily if she wanted to dance. Then Jack and Linda. Then, all began to dance.
