Can't find any place on Earth for your next holiday? Lucky for you, Space tourism is no longer a thing of science fiction. A Californian company is going to offer you a chance to take a vacation in space by building a hotel in orbit (轨道).

The Orbital Assembly Corporation plans to build Voyager Station, a space hotel that includes rooms for tourists, in 2026, and open it in 2027. It will be able to carry up to 400 people.

Recently, "Telephone Doctor" Nancy Friednan has noticed several types of "cell phone personalities". Which of these types have you seen around?

31.____________

Talking three times louder than necessary is characteristic of this impolite cell phone user. He seems to think everyone has a hearing problem. Doesn't he know the phone already has a build-in microphone to increase his voice?

32.____________

This person makes and takes calls anytime, anywhere. She'll chat in restaurants, at movie theaters, and even at funerals (葬礼). When her cell phone rings, she looks at you and says insincerely, "Oh sorry."

33.____________

Drive or use the phone. Don't do both at the same time. This can be dangerous. It's really scary to see a truck in the back view mirror with a driver who is talking on a phone behind the wheel.

34.____________

These are the people who aren't willing to change their ring tone. Sometimes, one phone rings and ten people check to see if it's theirs. Hang on, I think that's my phone!

35.____________

This person makes small and unimportant phone calls, one after another, after another. It makes others a little bit angry. On airplanes, you'll overhear her saying things like,"Hi, we haven't left yet," or "Hi, we just landed. OK, see you in a minute."
