Recently, a cartoon created by students from China Central Academy of Fine Arts put this group of people under the spotlight. In the short film, phubbers with various social identities(身份) bury themselves in their phones. A doctor plays with his cell phone while letting his patient die, a pretty woman takes selfie in front of a car accident site, and a father loses his child without knowing about it while using his mobile phone. A chain of similar events eventually leads to the destruction of the world.
Although the ending sounds overstated, the damage phubbing can bring is real.
Your health is the first to bear the effect and result of it. “Constantly bending your head to check your cell phone could damage your neck,” Guangming Daily quoted doctors as saying. “the neck is like a rope that breaks after long-term stretching.” Also, staring at cell phones for long periods of time will damage your eyesight gradually, according to the report.
But that’s not all. Being a phubber could also damage your social skills and drive you away from your friends and family. At reunions with family or friends, many people tend to stick to their cell phones while others are chatting happily with each other and this creates a strange atmosphere, Qilu Evening News reported.
It can also cost you your life. There have been lots of reports on phubbers who fell to their death, suffered accidents, and were robbed of their cell phones in broad daylight.

Though cell-phones are usually considered devices that connect people, they may make users less socially minded, which is found by a recent study from the University of Maryland’s Robert H. Smith School of Business.
Marketing professors Anastasiya Pocheptsova and Rosellina Ferraro, with graduate student, Ajay T.Abraham, conducted a series of experiments on test groups of cellphone users. The findings appear in their working paper, The Effect of Mobile Phone Use on Prosocial Behavior. Prosocial behavior, as defined in their report, is action intended to benefit another person or society as a whole.
The researchers found that after a short period of cellphone use the subjects were less likely to volunteer for a community service activity, compared to the control-group(对照组). The cell phone users were also less persistent in solving word problems even though they knew their answers would contribute to a monetary(货币的)donation to charity.
The study involved separate groups of college student subjects - both men and women and generally in their early 20s. "We would expect similar effects with people from other age groups," said Ferraro. "Considering the popularity of cellphones, it does have the potential to have wide social effects."
The researchers use previous research to explain the cause of their findings: "The cellphone directly arouses feelings of connection with others, thus fulfilling the basic social need to belong." This results in reducing one’s desire to connect with others face-to-face or to engage in empathic (同情的) and prosocial behavior.
The study also distinguished its subjects from users of other social media — Facebook users — in one of the tests. The researchers found that participants felt more connected to others because of their cell-phones than because of their Facebook accounts, suggesting that this difference in connectedness was the underlying cause of the observed phenomenon.
1.A person will conduct prosocial behavior when he ____.
A.is closely connected to his friends.
B.uses the cellphone for a period of time
C.takes part in community service
D.uses the cell phone a lot
2.What makes Facebook users different from cellphone users?
A.Different accounts.
B.Different purposes.
C.Different human needs.
D.The difference in connection.
3.Compared with cell phone users, Facebook users probably _____.
A.have a lot more friends
B.feel more connected to their friends
C.don’t like to engage in prosocial behavior at all
D.are more likely to engage in prosocial behavior
4.Which could be the best title for the passage?
A.Cell Phone Use Has Broad Social Effects
B.Cell Phone Use Leads to Prosocial behavior
C.Cell Phone Use Is Linked to Selfish Behavior
D.The Harmful Effect of Cell Phone Use
