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.”
