• 2．Some of the most painful moments I spend as a vet（兽医） are those spent with my customers assisting my animal patients from this world to the next．Making this final decision is not easy，and I have often felt powerless to comfort the sorrowful owners．
  That was before I met Shane．
  I had been called to examine a ten-year-old dog named Belker who had developed a serious health problem．The dogs owner--Ron，his wife，Lisa，and their little boy，Shane--were hoping for a miracle（奇迹）．But I told the family there were no miracles left for Belker，and offered to perform the euthanasia（安乐死） for the old dog in their home．As we made the arrangements，Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for the four-year-old Shane to observe the euthanasia．They felt Shane could learn something from the experience．
  The next day， I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker's family surrounded him．Shane seemed so calm，patting the old dog for the last time，that I wondered if he understood what was going on．
  A few minutes later，Belker slipped peacefully away．The little boy seemed to accept Belker's death without any difficulty or confusion．We sat together for a little while after Belker's death，wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives．
  Shane who had been listening quietly，piped up： "I know why．"
  Shocked，we all tuned to him．What came out of his mouth next astonished me．I'd never heard a more comforting explanation．
  He said． "Everybody is born so they can learn how to live a good life：like loving everybody and being nice，right？" The four-year-old continued， "Well，animals already know how to do that so they don't have to stay as long．"

  C．Shane didn't feel sad about Belker's death．

• 3．Children spend more time messaging each other on phones and websites than talking in Person，a survey has revealed．Text messages and social networking sites have become the common mode of youngsters aged 8 to 14．
  A survey of modem childhood found that many youngsters are conscious that they are spending too much time on their computers and enjoy themselves the most when playing outside．But the lure of electronic products proves too strong for a quarter，while a fifth say their parents don't like them playing outside because they are worried about strangers and injuries．

  Cary Cooper，the professor of organizational psychology and health at Lancaster University，said social media were contributing to youngsters becoming more independent!They had a sense of individuality due to exposure to a range of media．
  The survey follows major state backed research which found that youngsters are turning their back on drink，drugs and smoking．It found a dramatic drop in the number of secondary school students trying and regularly using drugs，alcohol and tobacco．Some analysts said that thanks to the rise of social media，millions of teenagers are spending their time at home in their rooms rather than out on the streets．
