Looking after my school flour(面粉) baby

Many girls like to have dolls in their childhood. If you visit our school, you will see lots of students carrying flour babies. We also have such classes to learn about what it’s like to be a parent.

The 10-pound (4.5kilograms) flour bags were used as babies. We decide the gender (性别) by throwing a coin. We parents must keep the babies’ faces exposed (暴露) for their breath and have to keep a close eye on them so that we don’t lose them. Mr. Craton, our history teacher like taking away “babies” when we parents lose attention. He takes 22 babies away from parents in four days.

We need to write a baby diary. To support the baby, we also need to find a job to feed the baby. Do you know the total cost of raising a baby for the first year? It is about $5,000.

I really love this special class. It helps students to understand how much their parents spend on them when they were little.

A study found most people use their smart phones for an hour and 52 minutes a day. Most of this time is taken up with texting, emails and surfing the web, but only around 20 minutes is spent making three calls.

The survey of 2,000 people found that social media apps, calculators (计算器), calendars and cameras were

also seen as particularly important functions. Navigation apps (导航应用) such as Google Maps were popular too – with one in six people admitting they would feel unable to travel around an unfamiliar city without one. The study also found checking Facebook and taking pictures of others are carried out more frequently than making calls. Also on the list were the calendar to remember appointments and birthdays, mobile banking and the news are apps that make day-to-day life a little easier.

Tom Barr said: ‘The functions on a mobile phone have developed and improved drastically (剧烈) over the past 10 years. With so many ways to keep in touch nowadays, people are using the functions that are convenient for them. As we get less and less time to ourselves, we need more convenience in our lives and less difficulty. While calling can be more personal, it doesn’t always save your time.’

Scientists at Rice University wanted to see if the latest mobile technology would be used by the students to

improve their learning. But a year later, the researchers concluded that it’s not enough to give students the right

technology, but said they need guidance about how to use it.
