Later in town, I was coming out of a store when a yellow butterfly started to circle around my head.I smiled peacefully and held out my open hand.To my joy，the butterfly landed on it briefly and swung(扇动) its wings before flying away.I looked around to see if anyone else noticed this small wonder, but the only two people near me had their heads down, looking at their cell phone screens.

　　I began to think that life is what happens while people are busy looking at their smart phones.Now I know that social media, computers and smart phones are all necessaries(生活必需品) in our lives, but it doesn't mean that they have to control our days or take over our lives.Amazingly，they all come with a power button.We can turn them off anytime we wish to.

　　Don't let your smart phone take away your smart mind.Don't let technology take over your soul.Use it when you need it, and turn it off when you don't.Turn your heart on more and your phone on less.Share your kindness, your joy, your hugs, your laughter and your life that make others smile.

　　【语篇解读】　手机越来越成为人们生活的必需品。但过多地埋头于手机会引发一些问题，也常会让我们错过身边一些美好的瞬间。让我们放下手机去感受美好的生活吧！
