    Writing text messages (短信）while walking is dangerous. A study says it is more dangerous than texting while driving. Researchers found that there are more{#blank#}1{#/blank#}(injure) to texting pedestrians (行人) than there are to texting motorists.

The researchers said that people forget how to walk{#blank#}3{#/blank#}(proper), so dangerous things happen to them. They bump into walls and other people. They walk into cars, fall over things in the street, and even fall into holes{#blank#}4{#/blank#}down stairs.

    A professor said walking is a difficult action. There are several reasons {#blank#}5{#/blank#}texting makes walking dangerous.{#blank#}6{#/blank#}is that people cannot see the street. Another is that they focus on their phone keyboard instead of their feet. A final reason is that their minds are somewhere else — they are not thinking about{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(walk) from A to B safely. The professor said over 6,000 people{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(visit) his hospital last year because of texting. He said{#blank#}9{#/blank#}worst cases are head damage. When a pedestrian is tossed into the air he/she has nothing{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(protect) the head. The damage can be serious.

    "I think it is {#blank#}7{#/blank#} (main) because more and more places now allow paying with WeChat. It's also fun to just involve {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(you) in the culture of it," said Klement. Two years ago, when some friends{#blank#}9{#/blank#} (send) him 5.20 or 8.88 Yuan red packets, he had no clue about the hidden meanings. Now, he is not only quite familiar with them but also has been used to sending some.

    "It's nice to be able to say 'I love you' with 5.20 Yuan, I guess," he said, laughing. "I also remember{#blank#}10{#/blank#} (try) to tick some of my friends off by paying back 99.99 instead of 100 just for fun.”
