I am a freshman and have already lost two phones. The first one was stolen on a bus. The second, which I left on a table, was picked up by someone who has lessons with me. I felt so awful. The two phones cost me a lot of money. I think I should be more careful from now on. It makes me heartbroken to think of my parents. For my benefit, they work so hard and spend so little. Could you give me some information how I can overcome the problem of carelessness?Zhu HaiyaDear Zhu Haiya,The two losses will teach you, more than any words can give you, how to avoid theft of personal belongings. Im sure you know how to put your smaller valuables, such as a phone or wallet, in deep front pants pockets or in a safe place in a bag that you carry on your person. Check everything around you before you leave a room or step out of a vehicle. If guilt toward your parents persists, use your family money only for room, board and tuition.

I think animals can sense disaster. They have a sixth sense. They know when things are happening,” H.D. Ratnayake, deputy director of Sri Lankas Wildlife Department, said on Wednesday.The waves washed floodwaters up to 3km inland at Yala National Park in the southeast, Sri Lankas biggest wildlife reserve and home to hundreds of wild elephants. “There has been a lot of evidence (证据) about dogs barking or birds migrating before volcanic eruptions (火山爆发) or earthquakes. But it has not been proven,” said Matthew van Lierop, an animal behaviour specialist at Johannesburg Zoo.“There have been no specific studies because you cant really test it in a lab or field setting,” he said.Other authorities agreed with this conclusion.“Wildlife seem to be able to pick up certain phenomenon (现象), especially birds. There are many reports of birds detecting coming disasters,” said Clive Walker, who has written several book son African wildlife.Animals certainly rely on the known senses such as smelling or hearing to avoid danger such as predators (食肉动物).The idea of an animals “sixth sense” is a lasting one that the evidence on Sri Lankas damaged coast is likely to add to.39.

Another way is that Mum or Dad is nearby when the child is surfing the Internet.A few other tips:Dont put the PC in a childs room but keep it in an area where Mum or Dad can keep an eye on things. That also makes the Internet more of a family activity.Ask your child what he or she has been doing and about any friends they make on-line.Tell your child not go give on-line strangers personal information, especially like address and phone number.And tell your children never to talk to anyone they meet on-line over the phone, send them anything, accept anything from them or agree to meet with them unless you go along.42.
