A 17-year-old boy，caught sending text messages in class，was recently sent to the vice principal`s office. The vice principal，Steve Gallagher，told the boy he needed to focus on the teach-er，not  his cellphone. The boy listened politely and nodded，and that`s when Mr.Gallagher noticed the student`s fingers  moving on his lap. He was testing while being scolded for texting. " It was a subconscious  act，" says Mr. Gallagher，who took the phone away. " Young people today are con-nected socially from the moment they open their eyes in the morning until they colse their eyes at night.It`s compulsive."
A study this year by psychology students at Covenant College in Lookout Mountain,Ga.,found that the more time young people spend on Facebook，the more likely they are to have lower grades and weaker study habits. Heavy Facebook users show signs of being more sociable，but they are also more likely to be anxious，hostile or depressed.
Almost a quarter of today`s teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day，according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media,a nonprofit group that monitors media`s impact on families.Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force，or will employers come to see texting and `social-network cheeking` as accepted parts of the workday?Think back,When today`s older workers were in their 20s,they might have taken a break on the job to call friends and make after-work plans.In those earlier eras,companies discouraged non-business-related calls,and someone who made personal calls all day risked being fired.It was impossible to imagine the constant back-and-forth texting that defines interactions among young people today.Educators are also being asked by parents，students and educational strategists to reconsider their rules. "In past generations，students got in trouble for passing notes in class. Now students are good at texting with their phones still in their pockets，" says 40-year-old Mr.Gallagher,the vice principal,"and they`re able to communicate with someone one floor down and three rows over. Students are just fundamentally different today.They will take suspensions rather than give up their phones."

Recently I had completely changed my views about life after a talk with one of my friends. He told me despite being  31  , he was happy and   32  that it was because of something he saw in Thailand.

A few years ago he was  33 feeling sad and was touring Thailand. He said right in front of his very eyes, he saw a mother 34  her child's right hand with a knife. The helpless  35 in the mother's eyes and the scream of the 36  four-year-old child still remained in his mind.

The 37 mother made the child handicapped (disabled)  38   he could go out on the streets to beg.   39 by the scene, he dropped a small piece of bread he was eating.

And almost at once, several children  40   around this small piece of bread covered with sand, 41  bits from one another. It was the 42   reaction of hunger. He then went to the nearest bakery and bought every single loaf of bread.   43  he gave out the bread to the children (mostly handicapped), he  44    cheers and bows from these  45  children. For the first time in his life, he understood  46  people could give up their 47  for a loaf of bread. He came to  48 how fortunate he was to be able to have a sound body, have a job, have a family, have the chance to  49  about food that didn't taste good, and have the many things that these people in front of him   50  dreamed of having. Perhaps life wasn't bad at all.

Recently, the most popular topic among people in Zhongguancun has been: How far is Zhongguancun away from Silicon Valley (硅谷)? Can Zhongguancun be the next Silicon Valley?

People think that the day is not far when Zhongguancun will become a Silicon Valley. This is because Silicon Valley has two famous universities, Stanford and Berkeley universities, and Zhongguancun also has two universities, Peking and Tsinghua universities. Silicon Valley and Zhongguancun are gathering places for engineers. Silicon Valley has a group of well-known American high-tech companies including Intel and Hewlett-Packard, and Zhongguancun has famous companies such as Lenovo and Founder. Silicon Valley is good at science and technology, especially the information industry, while Zhongguancun is known as an electronics street.

However, Silicon Valley is still a far dream for Zhongguancun. Silicon Valley is a product of the market economy, while Zhongguancun is a government-led industrial group. Silicon Valley has an investment system of its own, while Zhongguancun is mainly a trading center for information products, a sales center and a market center. The Silicon Valley people have special and useful ideas. It’s important because of people’s innovation and adventure. All of the people have a good inter-personal relationship network, which enables Silicon Valley business starters to quickly get more money they need, find partners and grow.

The people in Zhongguancun think more about fund-raising, and give little thought to other factors. Some managers don’t understand the idea of market well. This can bring about many problems and can easily lead to failure. Now the basic task for Zhongguancun is to know the demands of the market and the users.

Now, many overseas talents who are returning home are people who once studied, lived and worked in Silicon Valley. A group of first-class universities have taken part in the development of Zhongguancun. It’s believed that Zhongguancun can become the next Silicon Valley, but it doesn’t need to copy Silicon Valley in every way. Zhongguancun can become a Silicon Valley with Chinese characteristics.

(Doctors, meanwhile, are now laming addictions to ‘night texting’ for disturbing the sleep patterns of teens.)

Almost a quarter of today’s teens check Facebook more than 10 times a day，according to a 2009 survey by Common Sense Media, a nonprofit group that monitors media’s impact on families. Will these young people get rid of this habit once they enter the work force，or will employers come to see texting and ‘social—network checking’ as accepted parts of the workday?
