I am trying to muster(鼓起)the courage to toss away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring –free life.
Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high-tech, in-a-hurry age, a cell-free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet, and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cellphone, people would think I was mad.
I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology . I have an office phone, a home phone, e-mail and if people want to contact me. they can. If I’m out, people can leave a message.

Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people , they hold all contacts and many of us don't write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music, pictures, movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it , we feel cut off from our fellow,
“Where have you been?” said a friend, who saw me a week after I lost my cell, “I tried calling you , but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth·” See, when you don’t have a mobile phone, you don’t exist.

AThe teenage girl who sat in Madeline Levine's office was bright and pretty. She came from a well-off family that loved her deeply. And she had used a razor(剃刀) to carve the word “Empty” into the skin of her left forearm. Outwardly, this girl seemed to have a happy life; underneath the surface, she was on the edge of disaster.
As a psychologist, Levine has noticed important changes in the type of problems that today’s teens have.She believes today’s parents are so busy working to make sure their children have the best of everything that,increasingly, we miss out on giving our children what they need the most: time, attention and unconditional love.
“All of us believe that we are somehow doing the best for our kids, and that this will help our kids lead the best life. But the things that help our children grow up to be normal and happy have very little to do with material goods,” Levine says.
A parent’s job is to ensure a kid works hard, believes Levine, but they need to be realistic about their child’s abilities, Most of us are actually rather ordinary. We should let children know everyone has strengths and weaknesses.
One teen told Levine his whole had been about preparing for college. Another was afraid to go home after getting cut from the school baskedball team-he felt terrible about letting his father down.
Kids who constantly feel they’ve disappointed their parents, and that they aren’t good enough, often end up depressed and suicidal(自杀). Children need to know they are loved unconditionally, even if they don’t make the football team or get A on every project. “At the end of the day, we all just want to go home, to a palce where we’re loved simply for who we are,” Levine says.

LG Electronics, the world’s fourth largest cell phone producer, has added another feature to the mobile phone-reading books for the visually impaired(弱视). The company started marketing the model, the LF1300 on Sep.18.No other people but the blind and visually-impaired with a certificate(证书) can buy the talking phone at sales shops of LG Electronics.
“The LF1300 is the world’s first mobile phone that is capable of reading books for the print-disabled, who otherwise could not enjoy them.This is not about making money but about continuing to put froth efforts to reduce the digital difference for the disabled,” LG Vice President said.
Its users can download about 300 audio books from the Internet site of LG Sangam Library to their phones for free in two ways. One is to access the digital library’s Website on a computer designed for the blind to get the audio books and transfer them to cell phones. The other is to download the digital books directly with cell phones through the wireless net work by touching a hot key on the LF1300 phone.
On top of its unique feature of reading books, the LF1300 is no worse than the pupular top-line phones in both outlooks and frnctionalities(功能性). The phone is armed with an MP3 player and a Bluetooth headset, enabling users to listen to the music or talk without a cord. The user interface(界面) of the LF1300 is also designed for the blind,enabling
phone users to control it through a voice guidance system.

The sun is setting on a summer night. At the entrance to a deep dark cave, a few bats fly out high up into the air. More and more of the small creatures appear. Within a few minutes, a whole river of bats is pouring out of the cave, and they keep coming, millions and millions of them.
Sounds like a scary horror movie? Believe it or not, this scene takes place every night,all summer long,at Bracken Cave in Texas, where 20 million bats fly outside to feed on insects. Every March or April, Mexican free-tailed bats fly up to 1,000 miles from their winter home in Mexico to this cave, where they raise their young. Soon after they arrive, each mother gives birth to a baby. As many as 500 baby bats crowd into one square foot of space. All those badies create nice warm temperatures to keep them comfortable. If you’ve ever lost sight of your parents on a crowded playground, you may be wondering how mother bats recognize their babies. They use their sense of smell to recognize their own babies when it is time for the babies to nurse.
The cave, a quiet place in winter, filled with life all summer. Bat poop, called guano, soon covers the floor,prviding food for tiny organisms(微生物). And then come the bugs. Kennedy says, “you walk in with your headlight on and the floor of the cave is full of bugs. Insects are flying around, and bectles(甲虫) move slowly up you legs!”
When the adult bats leave the cave at night of feed, they are helping humans.They eat tons of insects in a single night, including many pests that eat farmer’s crops. And they get rid of mosquitoes, too. When twenty million bats fly out of one cave opening, they make a column so thick that they show up on radar at the nearby airport. It can take three hours for all of them be to come out.

Over the past ten years, the Internet has totally changed everyday life for millions people around the world.

In the more distant future, Cerf predicted that an interplanetary(星际间) Internet would connect the shuttle, ground stations and other spacecraft.
Meantime, back on the earth,a survey from the nonprofit Pew Internet and American Life Project from early last year looked at how the internet would affect our lives in 10 years’time. The study looked at a wide range of topics, and it found some concerns along with the celebration. On the top of list of worries is a cyber(网络) attack. Many Internet experts agree that computer criminals are simply waiting for the right opportunity to strike. According to the Pew study, about 66% Internet users believe at least one devastating(毁灭性旳) attack will occur in the next 10 years. Howard Schmidt, Who has worked on security issues at Microsoft company, said, “We will have self-repairing and self-configuring computer systems that can effectively protect one’s computer, so one perform the fuction they want,” said Sehmidt.
