Less Phone, More Talk
In our modern society, far too many people are more interested in whatever is happening on their phones than with the people around them. Visit almost any restaurant, and you will notice half the people staring at their personal devices rather than interacting with those around them. But do you ever look at the other half? The feelings of desolation and resentment are etched on their faces. This habit is hurting relationships, sometimes permanently.

The best way to build a relationship is through one-on-one interactions, and the habit of constantly checking your phone unfortunately gets in the way of that. When you are on the phone during lunch with a friend, you are sending the message that he or she is not that important to you. You may still be able to pay attention to what your friend is saying, but you are communicating a message of disrespect by looking at your phone and not making eye contact. Without eye contact, it is nearly impossible to be fully engaged in the conversation. When your eyes are fixed on your phone, your companion may not share as much information with you; or worse yet, he or she may not want to spend time with you in the future.

You would not walk away while someone was talking without saying anything, and the same holds true when it comes to checking your phone. Entering the world of your phone is essentially walking out on your companion, because you are no longer fully present and aware of what the other person is saying.

Read this excerpt from "herd about the flu." the flu shot prevent huge numbers of infections. even when it doesn't fully prevent infection in every person, the shot makes any flu infection less serious. on a global scale, the vaccine can reduce the number of infections only if most people in the community take it. that's because vaccines need to reach enough people to achieve a "herd immunity," the level of immunity needed to prevent the virus from spreading. if too few people get the vaccine, the people who receive it may not be well protected against infection. so the next time you are at the drugstore, and you see no flu shots available, think about the reasons behind it. drug makers are scared to make too many flu shots because they could lose too much money. they then make fewer flu shots and the effect of the flu shots becomes weaker because not enough people take it. people become more reluctant to take the flu shot since they don't think it will fully work. the demand goes down further and the flu companies make even fewer shots the next year. this could continue until the community changes its mind and we all get the flu shot. "that is a community responsibility," says the president of merck, one of the two remaining flu vaccine manufacturers. which argument best supports the passage's claim that more people should get the flu vaccine to stop the virus from spreading? 1.if too few people get the vaccine, the people who receive it may not be well protected against infection 2. so the next time you are at the drugstore, and you see no flu shots available, think about the reasons behind it. 3.people become more reluctant to take the flu shot since they don’t think it will fully work. 4.drug makers are scared to make too many flu shots because they could lose too much money.
