21、I absolutely hate talking on the phone. But it seems as if there are a group of people who hate the inconvenience of talking on the phone even more than me: screenwriters. Watch any fi1m or TV show, and you're likely to notice the fact that characters hardly say "goodbye" at the end of phone calls. After the main part of a conversation is dropped, it's very common for the phone call to abruptly end. There are no voices clumsily saying "bye" and no awkward variations on“speak soon". Just pure silence.
I'm not the only one who is annoyed by the lack of on-screen goodbyes. It does seem quite rude/after all, even 81% of Millennials(千禧一代) who find phone calls "anxiety-inducing(诱发焦虑的)”still try their best to be polite once they are on the phone. But is it something people actually do? It seems like it's a no at least in the UK.
Maybe it's an American thing? This seems doubtful, too. There is a whole thread on Reddit where Americans are insistent that not saying "goodbye" is not a part of their culture. There is also a fact that, on US reality TV shows, it's very common to see stars saying "goodbye" to each other unless a person is hanging up in anger.
So it seems as if it's an intentional decision in scripted (有剧本的) TV shows and films. But why would screenwriters do this? The disappearance of phone call farewells has probably got more to do with something much more boring time management. When a show is 23 minutes long, every second is precious and getting straight to the point is essential. If you surf the Internet looking for information on how to write dialogues, you'll find that "avoiding small talk" is on almost every how-to list.
Goodbyes' being sidelined from our screens has become a major hang-up for detail-conscious viewers. It's an instant and awkward reminder that the conversation we are watching is completely scripted. And that is a bad call,if you ask me.

24、The ancient Babylonians (巴比伦人)are thought to have been the first people to set New Year's resolutions. They made promises to gods that they would return any objects they had borrowed from others. If they did this, then it was said that gods would protect them in the year ahead. Since then, resolutions have changed from promises to gods to promises to ourselves and others. That could be starting a new hobby, trying to be healthier or learning a new language. Given the difficulties that any people have in keeping their New Years resolutions, though, should people wait a little longer before deciding what they'll be? Is January the right time to set New Years resolutions?
Yes — it gets the year off to a good start. They're called New Year's resolutions, not Half-Year resolutions. The whole point of setting New Year's resolutions is that it's done at the start of the year.Waiting longer just defeats the purpose of it. New Year's resolutions are a fun tradition to discuss with family and friends. You won't be able to talk about it in the same way if you're all setting them at different times. Besides, the more you put it off, the less likely it is that you'll ever decide on what your resolutions are going to be. You can always set new ones, or change your goals, but it's important to start off with something. By the time you've decided on some resolutions, you'll have less time to do them — which only increases your chances of failure.
No — January isn't the right time. January is a cold and dark month. Why would you want to start something new then? During the winter months, most people just want to stay nice and warm indoors, rather than try something new. People should make resolutions to lead happier, healthier lives whenever they want, not just on 1 January. Waiting longer means that you'll have more time to plan and will have a better idea of what you want to do in the year ahead. This will result in better resolutions, which have a stronger chance of success. One study found that by 6 January, one in five people had failed to stick to their resolutions. By not rushing into it, you're less likely to get discouraged and give up if you haven't succeeded right away.
Now that you've read a bit more about it, tell us what you think by voting in our poll at theweekjunior. co. uk/polls.
