    The train started moving. There were many people of all ages. Most of them were working men and women and young college boys and girls. Near the window sat an old man with his son, he looked about thirty years old.    
    As the train moved, the son was happy because he was very excited at the scenery outside. He said in a high voice, "See, Dad, the green trees and the scenery are very beautiful!" It made the other people feel very strange. Everyone started talking in a low voice about the old man's son. A few minutes later it started raining. Raindrops fell on the travelers through the opened window. Seeing the rain, the old man's son said happily, "See, Dad, how beautiful the rain is!" Hearing these words, a young lady became angry with the man, as the raindrops were dropping on her new clothes. She shouted at the noisy son and his father. "Can't you see it is raining? You! Old man! If your son is not feeling well, get him to a mental hospital quickly and please don't disturb us!" The old man's face turned red and then he answered in a low voice, "We are on the way back from hospital. He couldn't see anything when he was born. Only last week he could see again. The rain and the nature are new to him. Please forgive him." All the other people became quiet.

    Many people use the mobile phones as the alarm clocks and also use them to check e-mails before sleeping. It's a pity that these habits are becoming their sleeping problems.

    Several years ago, my boss always played her mobile phone till very late and got badly ill because of that. Now she always leaves her phone in another room at night. And she asks her friends to do so. "I give each of my friends the same Christmas gift — an alarm clock. So they could stop using the phone as the alarm clock," she said.

    If your mobile phone wakes you up in the morning, it may also keep you up at night. A study shows that people in mobile phone radiation mostly have sleeping problems. And according to a Swedish study, a quarter of young people in this country like having their phones around them. Most of them feel sorry for not answering messages. So they even have to answer messages to their friends before sleeping. 

    So what kind of people like to use mobile phones in their bedrooms better? A study has shown that three-quarters of people aged between 18 and 34 like to sleep with their phones near them better. That number becomes smaller in the middle age, but only people aged 65 and older like leaving the phone in another room when they are sleeping.
