It’s the end of class.When the bell rings, students of Luohu Foreign Languages School in Shenzhen quickly take out their telephones.They want to log on to their micro blogs (登录到他们的微博) to check the interesting things.They want to see what have happened in the last hour.
Since several years ago, more and more people have used micro blogs in our country.Recent surveys (调查) shows that most students in middle schools have a micro blog and some even update (更新) their blogs over five times per day.
“We learn many fresh and interesting things on micro blogs and they have become popular topics in class,” said Kitty Jiang, 14.“If you do not know about them, you are out of loop.” It is also a great place for students to say something about themselves.“My parents always ask me to study hard, and encourage me before exams, but it really gives me pressure (压力),” said Alan Wang, 15.“I share these feelings on my micro blog.My friends always give me answers in the same situation.This makes me feel better.”
But parents worry that micro blogging could be a waste of time.Some unhealthy information may even bring danger to kids, they said.
Mr Shen, a professor (教授) asks parents not to worry too much as long as kids are not crazy about micro blogging.Maybe it can become a window for parents to understand their children.“If parents can read their children’s micro blogs, they’ll know what they think, they can know more about their children and help them solve their problems,” he said.He also gives some advice for kids.

You must think a computer is the best thing in the world， right？ You must think it works at a super speed and can do everything？ Well， it's not! In fact，the brain is much more powerful than any super computer! Think about when a glass is just about to fall off the table．Your brain controls everything that you need to do to save that glass from falling． First your eyes check out what 's going on， then tell your brain． and your brain decides how quickly you need to react （反应）， and then your muscles （肌肉） go into action． That is just from your brain． No computer could ever come close to that!
The brain weighs just 3 pounds， but it controls everything you do from thinking， learning， feeling even to breathing and your heart beating． Even though the brain is just 2% of your body weight， it uses around 20% of all your energy in your body． That is a lot for such a small organ （器官）． There are about 100 billion tiny， tiny little cells （细胞） in your brain． There are so many that it would take you over 3.000 years to count them all!
Your brain stops growing when you're 18， but it actually keeps on developing and learning new things． So your parents are really super smart! You won't be able to fool them! Believe it or not， your brain NEVER stops working． Even during sleeping， the brain works for long﹣ term memory establishment （建立）． It is realized that the brain is the second organ in the body as the heart that never stops during human lives．
So everyone should be proud of such a gift of nature．
