27、 a drink. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. So does a guest in a Malay house. He always leaves a little food.

I can still see Mrs. Edwards giving me a candy to make me feel better.Of all the years and memories, however, my sixth grade year

34、is clearer than any other time. I can even remember the subjects Mrs. Walker taught, the bulletin boards on the walls, where I talked about my friends and my feelings as I went through that year. The reason is that Mrs. Walker had us keep a diary, and each day we had to write “emotions”, how we felt

35、 and what was going through our minds. Our diaries never left the classroom, and on that final day of school when Mrs. Walker told us we could take them home, I walked out of that class feeling as if I was holding a million dollars. I can never thank her enough for giving us five minutes each and ev

36、ery day to write. I shared many things about projects we did that year, the things I learned, and what excited me most about school.

Herter based his prediction on the growing number of manic mobile phone users among patients arriving at his Hanover clinic for addiction treatment.“Text message addiction is a

41、real and serious illness because it causes mental and financial damage,” said Herter. “The problem leads to depression and personality disorders, not to mention skyrocketing phone bills.”For example, a teenage boy spent 8,900 euros (US$11,000) texting people he didnt even know and a married couple c
