The mobile phone continues to be a main channel of social communication during the school day.”The report revealed that socalled “textspeak” was increasingly finding it was into pupils school work.3 in 10 students admit to using text message shortcuts, such as “r u ok” in essays and classroom tasks.It followed a study earlier this year that found almost half of teachers failed to understand some pupils writing because it was so full of confusing language. Phrases such as “innit” and “Gr8” were regularly found in school work.The Cranfield study found that mobile use was so common that many pupils chose to ignore school rules on phones.More than a third said they would use their phones in class, while nearly three quarters said they would not even make an excuse to leave class to answer a phone call.1.

It is not exactly a bribe(賄賂), but is close to it.All sorts of people are “apple polishers”， including politicians and people in high officesjust about everybody. Oliver Cromwell, the great English leader, offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party, but failed.There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “applepolishing”“softsoaping” or “butteringup”. A gift is just one way to “softsoap” somebody, or to “butter him up”. Another that is just as effective is flattery, giving someone high praisetelling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how talented and wise he is.Endless are the ways of flattery. Who does not love to hear it? Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is. In truth, flattery is good medicine for most of us, who get so little of it.We need it to be more sure of ourselves. It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it. But if we just lap it up for its good value and nourishment, as a cat laps up milk, then we can still remain true to ourselves.Sometimes, however, flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it. A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England. The king got tired of listening to endless sickening flattery of his courtiers(朝臣). They overpraised him to the skies, as a man of limitless power.He decided to teach them a lesson. He took them to the seashore and sat down. Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in. The tide was too busy to listen to him. The king was satisfied. This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery was.1.

The couples surveyed were around 29 and have been married for three years on average, with university education and monthly income of 4，000 yuan ($531). Among them, 43.5 per cent have kids.Results show that 71.9 per cent of the young couples have help from their parents in taking care of their kids.Grown up as the “singlechild”， the only child in a family since the family planning policy which was adopted in 1979, this generation depends much on their parents.The parents of the “singlechild” generation focused more on their childrens physical wellbeing rather than their attitudes and values, according to some psychologists.The research also found that the “double singlechild couples” follow a rather traditional value system.Survey shows that 27.5 per cent of them got married after dating for one to two years, 25.2 per cent two to five years, and 20 per cent didnt tie the knot until dating for five years. Also, 30 per cent of the couples were schoolmates, while 43.8 per cent were introduced by someone.Since their marriage is based on enduring relationships, 65.2 per cent of the husbands and 62.9 per cent of the wives think that compromise(妥協(xié))and tolerance(寬容) are necessary in their marriage. Meanwhile, 21.7 per cent of the husbands and 37.1 per cent of the wives support the idea that happiness is the key standard for a marriage.1.
