In the United States, students would never be allowed to their mobile phones during class. If you were to send or a text message you would probably be kicked class. It is very disturbing to hear a lot of tones and ringing during . There are many more rules for mobile phone use in America and it is to respect for those around you.
As a teacher in China, I have to students using mobile phones every day. I have told my class to their phones, but many students do not listen. The to be connected all the time seems to be more than the desire to learn.

This is how I with giving-away. If an idea for improving the window display of a neighborhood store in my mind, I step in and make the to the storekeeper. If an accident takes place, the of which I think the local police could use, I him up and tell him about it, though I am not in here. I found a rule about this world is to give getting something back, though the often comes in an unexpected form.
One Sunday morning the local post office delivered an important special letter to my home, though it was to me at my office. I wrote the postmaster a note of . More than a year later I needed a post-office box for a new business I was . I was told at the window that there were boxes left, and that my name would have to go on a long list.

WHEN John Gurdon was 15, he ranked last out of the 250 boys in his grade at biology. He also came in last for every other science subject. His teacher wrote in a : “I believe he has ideas about becoming a ; on his present showing this is quite foolish.”
Luckily, the teacher’s words didn’t Gurdon’s love for science. He kept working hard. He went to lab earlier and left than anyone else.
On Oct 8, 2012, 64 years later, the British professor the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka had contributed to the research and therefore the award.
Gurdon got the honor his research into cells and cloning. When he was studying at Oxford, he did some on cells. He took a cell from an adult frog, moved its , and put them into an egg cell. The egg cell then into a clone of the adult frog. His research for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.
At that time, many people accept Gurdon’s idea. But later it helped to Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in history. It also led to important findings in the use of cells. For example, from someone’s skin can turn into any type of tissue in the body. This is good news for those who have diseased or damaged tissue.
Gurdon always remembers the he had when he was 15. He even put the report on his desk as a daily to himself.
“When you have , like an experiment doesn’t work, it’s nice to remind yourself that perhaps you are not so good at your job and the teacher may be ,” he said.
However, the facts suggest Gurdon is pretty good indeed.

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a person, he had been to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be there happily reading our newspapers, when so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.” , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his from now on. And what of James McKay? he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “ the most exciting birthday !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”
