Smart phones have become an essential part of our daily lives. This is worrying, as long﹣time use of smart phones harms children's eyesight, cervical vertebrae（颈椎）and even the brain. It was reported China had 175 million Internet users under the age of 18, with 74 percent having their own mobile phones.
It's already common practice in some countries to limit students' use of mobile phones. France passed a law banning the use of mobile phones on school grounds for children under the age of 15. Other countries, including the United States, Italy and Japan, have also passed laws banning students from bringing phones to schools or classrooms.
The Ministry of Education in China released a notice that restricts primary and middle school students from bringing mobile phones to school. Those who require their phones for some need must get their parents' and teachers' approval and must hand their phones over during class time.
An English teacher from Beijing noticed that many students lost themselves in their phones. She said, "Most students are short of self﹣control. Spending too much time on the phone prevents them from learning. " A parent from Shanghai said, "The rules are good for children and limiting phone use is the right way to put their focus back on studies. "
A 16﹣year﹣old student said, "It is unwise to stop all the students taking their phones to school. " He thinks adults can't simply cut them off from the Internet in the digital era and it's more important to cultivate students' ability to manage themselves.

Why are dogs our best friends．Maybe because they can understand our words much better than we thought，according to a study in Hungary．It found that dogs understand not only what we say，but also how we say it．
"The results were very exciting and very surprising．"Said the researcher Attila Andies，from Eotvos Lorand University in Budapest．
For the study，the researchers first trained 13 dogs for months．The dogs had to sit quietly inside machine，so that the researchers could check their activity．
Then the researcher put headphones on dogs and played people's voice to them．There were four different voice．Some were positive words，such as"well down"，or neutral（不带感情色彩的） words like"however"．The words were also in different tones（音调）．Some were positive and some were neutral．
Brain scans（扫描）showed that the dogs could recognize（辨认）words．as well as the tone of words，much like people do．The positive words with a positive tone brought the stronger activity in their brain's reward centers（反应中枢）．
"It shows that for dogs，a nice phrase can word very well as a prize，but it words best if both words and tones match．"Said Andies．
They also found that dogs deal with meaningful words with the left side of the brain and tones with the right．Human brains work in the same way．

Connecting with Nature
How do you feel when you hear birds singing freely in the trees? What’s your feeling when you see butterflies dancing slowly and lightly in the wind? Whether you love researching the outdoors or watching far away, getting close to nature can take your mind off your worries and make you feel relaxed.
What is nature?
Nature means the world around us that is not man-made, including birds, mountains, trees, the sea and the stars. It’s also a force that controls things like weather. We can find nature wherever we are and wherever we go —beaches, gardens, parks, rivers, and even unexpected places like cracks (裂缝) in the stones.
Why does nature make us feel good?
Spending time in nature brings peace, joy and wonder to our lives. It takes us outdoors, gets us active and lets us care more about the environment. Even a little gift of nature can make us feel free and hopeful, such as breathing in fresh air, listening to the wind in the trees or standing at a mountain. Ralphie, who is 10, likes being close to nature on a bike with his family. He says, “It makes us feel happy and takes our mind off things because we have to pay attention. We are away from traffic and we hear more birdsong and see more wild animals.”
How can we feel closer to nature?
Feeling closer to nature is easy. We can build a connection with nature wherever we are using our senses. Try listening closely to birdsong, smelling flowers and feeling sand between our fingers. Paint a picture and take photos of the natural places that we like best. They may help us feel closer to the natural world. It’s important to try and connect with nature, notice its beauty and how it makes us feel.
