friends Every graduating girl could choose their own outfit for graduation Unlike most other schools their graduating seniors are required to 5 wear caps and gowns of their school color The reason behind wearing whatever we want wear is to symbolize diversity and individualism Graduating from Jones means we are taking the next step in our life by ourselves Ms Mitford gave a short speech and then handed the microphone to the speaker with the corner of her eyes moist All of us the senior class of 2003 sat there and listened as the new speaker talked about independent When I was a little girl the word was a big place The tea cup was big My father was even bigger The sink was higher And I could never reach the floor of the car But one thing I have leaned as I grew up is that even though we grow taller the world doesn t get smaller instead the word is getting even bigger and more complicated everyday But what helps is to have a brain a will and Lady Luck on your side The hardest life lesson is failure What can help you prevent failures in such a rapid world is what we have been taught here and what we have attained here as we grew up intelligence intellectuality ability agility acuteness and just a dash of arrogance In Mr Julius Caesar s words Veni vidi vici So my dear class of 2003 you have come you have seen and now you have conquered Congratulations and good luck The speaker looked back at us and bowed her head We will now present the senior class with their diploma Ms Moore said in front of the podium The fiddler and pianist on the side started

affliction the fear of being out of mobile phone 6 contact Millions apparently suffer from no mobile phobia which has been given the name nomophobia They have become so dependent on their mobile that discovering it is out of charge or simply misplacing it sends stress levels soaring More than 13million Britons fear being out of mobile phone contact according to research Keeping in touch with friends or family is the main reason why they are so wedded to their mobile More than one in two said this is why they never switch it off One in ten said they needed to be contactable at all times because of their jobs while 9 per cent said that having their phone switched off made them anxious Experts say nomophobia could affect up to 53 per cent of mobile phone users with 48 per cent of women and 58 per cent of men questioned admitting to experiencing feelings of anxiety when they run out of battery or credit lose their phone or have no network coverage The Post Office questioned more than 2 100 mobile phone users Stewart Fox Mills the company s telecom expert said Nomophobia is all too real for many people We re all familiar with the stressful situations of everyday life such as moving house break ups and organizing a family Christmas But it seems that being out of mobile contact may be the 21st century s latest contribution to our already hectic lives Whether you have run out of credit or battery lose your phone or are in an area with no reception being phoneless can bring on a panicky symptom in our 24 7 culture Researchers advise those keen to avoid nomophobia to keep their credit topped up carry a charger at all times give family and friends an alternative contact number and carry a pre paid phonecard to make emergency calls if your mobile is broken lost or stolen Other tips include keeping a record of your numbers in case you lose your handset and carrying the phone in a closed pocket or bag to avoid loss or theft They add that you could also try to liberate yourself from the shackles of your mobile by simply switching it off 55 What can we learn from the first two paragraphs A Getting married starting a job or going to the dentist are no longer regarded

The zombies in The Walking Dead terrified 10 5 million viewers last week The show became the first cable series to win the US fall TV ratings this year reported the Los Angeles Times But why is a show promoted with the slogan Spread the dead such a hit with the living According to experts Americans love zombies because they represent whatever happens to be their greatest fear at the time You can t shoot the financial meltdown in the head you can do that with a zombie said Max Brooks author of the best selling Zombie Survival Guide But the best thing about The Walking Dead is that it isn t just about zombies In this show they are more of a lens through which to observe the humans character and test their humanity to the limits The story follows deputy sheriff Rick Grimes as he tries to lead his family and a small group of survivors to safety in a world full of zombies Humans are the minority in this new landscape To avoid being bitten by zombies which would turn them into zombies the living have to either hide from them or shoot off their heads As time goes by and the survivors get used to the bloodshed a question arises who are the real monsters Each time they compromise their values in the name of survival the human characters are pushed closer to something their former selves would have seen as inhuman 9 Rick for example used to be a man who upheld law and order before the zombie outbreak In the first episode of Season One when he has to pull the trigger on a legless zombie he says I m sorry But at the conclusion of Season Two he fatally stabs his former partner and best friend since high school We see a man who has been changed by his horrible circumstances A profound story of humanity aside the show also harbors its appeal by featuring characters we can easily relate to the pizza delivery boy the abused woman the old man who loves to give advice the father and his son They make us feel like a zombie disaster could hit us any
