Section_ⅤProject [原文呈现][读文清障] To phone or not to phone? In the USA, the Amish — a Christian① group — are famous because they drive carriages② instead of③ cars, do not use TVs or refrigerators④， and do not have personal telephones. Many people assume⑤ the Amish must have religious⑥ reasons for⑦ their many rules, but this is not true. In truth⑧， whenever a new technology is introduced⑨， the Amish meet and discuss its advantages and disadvantages. They then vote⑩ on whether they will accept it?. The Amish reject?cars because they like having tight? communities where everyone lives close together?. They have no TVs or refrigerators because their homes do not have electricity — they do not think it? is necessary and dislike dealing? with? strangers, such as the people who work at the electric company?. Since the Amish value? seeing each other face to face?， they oppose having telephones in their houses. However, in each community there is often a small building that has a telephone for emergencies. The telephone is very convenient for communication, and most people in the world today cannot live without it. However, maybe the Amish have a valid point. Which is more of a friend, someone you often talk to over the phone or someone you often talk to face to face？And, if you need help, who can help you better, someone far away or someone in the room with you?
