1.called

句意：这些人被称为“低头族”。此处表示称呼，表示被动形式，故用过去分词called。

2.accidents

句意：因为很多司机开车时使用手机，有越来越多的交通事故。根据后半句因为很多司机开车时使用手机，有越来越多的交通事故。可知because lots of drivers use mobile phones while driving.可知司机开车时打手机，因此容易发生交通事故，有more and more修饰，故此处用复数名词，故为accidents。

3.attention

句意：为了使司机更加专心开车，有些新的交通规则已经被制定。pay attention to专心，关注，故此处为attention。

4.cause

句意：正如我们上面看到的，使用手机可能会导致交通事故。根据前文的There are more and more traffic _____2_____ because lots of drivers use mobile phones while driving.可知司机开车打手机会导致交通事故，位于情态动词may后面，故用动词原形，故为cause。

5.using

句意：在美国一个男人在回家的路上一直使用手机。根据When he lifted _____7_____ eyes from the phone,可知此处表示他的目光从手机上，向上看，故此处他正在使用手机，故为using。

6.a

8.quickly/fast

9.that

句意：奇怪的是他们吃饭期间不和坐在他们对面的人说话。根据句型It’s+形容词+that+从句，故此处用that引导真正的主语从句，故为that。

10.on
