The iPon Generation

Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go．They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what's happening around them．【1】 Outside life is shut out．So are you one of them"?

For me; walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect． 【2】 What's even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says; "I'm not available for chatting at the moment j"

Suppose, you're at work and about to make an incredible breakthrough? but a colleague suddenly turns up．At this precise moment, the slightest disturbance would break your concentration．【3】 Once again, those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give that "Go away!" signal．

【4】 It's probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family．While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their ' Yes．Mum．' Problem solved．

Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears-but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument．We'll be in a virtual （虛擬的） world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like．In this world, we will all be permanently plugged in．【5】 And they are changing our social habits along the way．

In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It's so strange-suddenly, I don't feel like wearing my earphones anymore

A．Our instruments are changing quickly．

B．I also have wires hanging from my ears．

C．In the home situation, teenagers love these wires．

D．I don't have to deal with the noise from the environment．

F．Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions．

G．They walk around in their own spaces, with their personal "digital noise reduction systems ．

People in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June.

Mother’s Day was proclaimed ( 公告) a day for national observance by President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. Ann Jarvis from Grafton, West Virginia, had started the idea to have a day to honor mothers. She was the one who chose the second Sunday in May and also began the custom of wearing a carnation.

In 1909, Mrs. Dodd from Spokane, Washington, thought of the idea of a day to honor fathers. She wanted to honor her own father, William Smart. After her mother died, he had the responsibility of raising a family of five sons and a daughter. In 1910, the first Father’s Day was observed in Spokane. Senator Margaret Chase Smith helped to established Father’s Day as a national commemorative （ 紀(jì)念）day, in 1972.

These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care.

These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes ( 象征) a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead．Many people attend religious services to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery.
