课文内容

词汇: Behaviour 行为、举止

Something I enjoy doing most in my leisure time is going to the cinemathe moviesto watch a great film. It's two hours of relaxation and escapism from real life. But when I kick-back in my seat to enjoy the film and tuck into my box of popcorn, I'm often irritated by seeing someone next to me texting on their mobile phone or worse still, talking to someone.

It's no surprise that a proposal by a US cinema chain to let people use their phones during some film screenings was met with such outrage, that the company had to withdraw the idea. People said it was 'the worst idea ever'! Surely, going to watch the latest blockbuster is just thatwatching not dual-screening. And if you're out with a friend it seems very antisocial or just rude. I certainly get distracted by the click-click on someone's mobile keyboard as they text and the glow of the bright small phone screenwhy aren't they concentrating on the big screen?!

But with the availability of streaming films at home and cheap DVDs, cinemas are strugglingto keep their customers. Some places now offer comfortable seats with complimentary snacks and drinks so maybe trying to attract a younger audience by allowing the use of mobile phones is the way forward? A survey in 2012 found that a majority of 18-to-34-year-olds believed using social media while watching a movie would add to their experience.
