But thats okay because then you can drink some good Italianor French wine to reduce the burning! Some wonderful food comes from the Eastern countries. Chinese food is popular in many parts ofthe world. Lots of people love Chinese style vegetables because they are so crispy.

If American children have to use mosquito ringtone (静音) of cell phones at school, a university inJapan is doing the opposite: giving cell phones to students. And not just any cell phone - the iPhone3G. According to Asiajin, about 550 students and staff members in the School of Sociallnformatics atTokyo-based university Aoyama Gakuin received the iPhone 3G for free aspart of their study materials. This is the result of a deal that Aoyama Gakuin signed with SoftBank, the only sales representativeof the iPhone in Japan.The number of students using theiPhone is expected to reach about l,000.This is the first time a particular cell phone has been used on such a huge scale at a Japaneseuniversity. The phone will work as a study tool for students. As it comes with the global positioning system(GPS), the university plans to use it to check student attendance. Dropping classes is a big problem inJapan, where regular attendance is an important factor in determining a students grade. Studentsoften fake attendance by getting classmates to answer roll calls. Now, with the iPhone 3G, the school plans to keep better tabs on (监控) its students. Students areallowed to use the phone for attendance reporting (but only if they are actually in the classroom, a factthat will be proved by the phones GPS), lecture podcasting, and online examinations. A student cantanswer the roll call using the phone from any location other than the classroom. Students can, of course, still cheat the new system by leaving their phones with fellow classmates,but this is not very likely to happen, as people tend to keep a lot of private information on their phonesthat they dont want to share with others. As for calling and data plans, the university covers the basic fee. The hardware itself is free, butstudents will have to pay when they exceed downloading limits. 6.

And sometimes, being lazy - that is, taking time off for a rest - is good for the overworkedstudents or executives. Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the sportsman who is trying toohard or the doctor who is simply working himself overtime too many evenings in the hospital.
