2、 grandmother died just over two years ago. At 91, she had spent 30 years without her right leg, which was removed due to cancer the year I was born.

10、ep their phones switched off at school. Others have told pupils to leave them at home.However, education researchers at The University of Nottingham believe it is time that phone bans were reassessed, because mobile phones can be a powerful learning aid, they say. Dr Elizabeth Hartnell-Young and her

11、 colleagues have reached this conclusion after studying the consequences of allowing pupils in five secondary schools to use either their own mobile phones or the new generation of smartphones in lessons.During the nine-month experiment, 14- to 16-year-old pupils used the phones for a wide range of
