According to Bambrough, it's first and foremost a design project—the texting lane was a tongue­in­cheek(戏谑)reference to the college­wide epidemic(流行)of kids walking around with their faces buried in their iPhones.

　　“You have 18­24­year­olds walking down the hall with smart phones.You're almost bound to run into someone somewhere; it's something we're dealing with in this day and age，” Bambrough said.“But preventing collisions isn't the reason we did it—we did it to arouse the students' attention.It's meant to be there for people to look at and enjoy.”

　　Still, when talking to Utah Valley students, it sounds like texting and walking can be quite the annoyance.

　　Robbie Poffenberger, an assistant news editor at the UVU Review, said that most collisions he witnesses aren't human­on­human; rather, it's generally human­on­inanimate­object.“They walk into barriers—chairs on the side of the hallway, or railings，” Poffenberger said, “I'm sure they're fairly embarrassed.”

　　文章大意：本文是一篇说明文。讲述的是低头党的福音：美国校园设玩手机专用人行道，这个校园里存在着一种“且行且短你(一边走一边短信)”的特殊校园文化。

　　25．What do we learn about the “texting lane” from the text?

　　A．It is a special campus culture in Utah Valley University.
