Imagine a world in which children would be the rulers and could decide not only the outcome of each and every occurrence, but also dictate the very structure and form of the environment. In this world, a child’s wildest thoughts would become reality, limited only by the extent of his or her imagination.
While such a world might sound both fantastic and frightening, at least from a logical, adult perspective, it does exist. What’s more, it has been in existence for some time and is populated by hundreds of thousands of children who spend hours within its boundaries experimenting and learning. This world is not real, at least not in the traditional sense, but exists within a computer and is generated by an educational programming language called LOGO. Unlike other computer languages and programs that are designed to test children and provide applications that formally dispense information, LOGO allows children, even preschool children, to be in total control. Children teach the computer to think and as a result develop and sharpen their own reasoning abilities.In the imagined world ______ would restrict children’s wildest thoughts. the limits of their imagination the structure and form of the environment the reality of life the roles of the society

Obviously television has both advantages and disadvantages.
In the first place, television is not only a convenient source of entertainment, but also a cheap one. With a TV set in the family people don’t have to pay for expensive seats at the theatre, or the cinema. Some people, however, think that this is where the danger comes from. The television viewers need do nothing. He makes no choice and exercises, no judgment. He is completely passive.
Television keeps one informed about what is happening. The most distant countries and the strangest customs are brought right into one’s sitting room. On television everything is much more living, much more real. Yet here again there is a danger. We get so used to looking at the movements on it, so dependent on its pictures that it begins to control our lives. People often say that their television sets have broken down and that they have suddenly found that they have far more time to do whatever they are interested. It makes us think, doesn’t it?
There are many other arguments for and against television. We must realize that television itself is neither good nor bad. It is the uses that determine its value to society.

Why are mobiles so popular? Because people love to talk to each other. And it is easier with a mobile phone. In countries like Russia and China, people use the mobile phone in places where there is no ordinary telephone. Business people, use mobiles when they’re traveling. In some countries, like Japan, many people use their mobile phones to send email message and access the Internet. They use a new kind of mobile phone called “i mode“. You can even use a mobile phone to listen to music.
Mobile phones are very fashionable with teenagers. Parents buy mobile phones for their children. They can call borne if they are in trouble and need help. So they feel safer. But teenagers mostly use them to keep in touch with their friends or play simple computer games. It’s cool to be the owner of a small expensive mobile. Research shows that teenage owners of mobile phones smoke less. Parents and schools are happy that teenagers are safer and smoke less.
But many people dislike them. They hate it when the businessman opposite them on the train has a loud conversation on his phone. Or when the mobile phone rings in a cafe or restaurant. But there is a much more serious problem. It’s possible that the mobile phone can heat up the brain because we hold the phone so close to our head. Scientists fear that mobiles can perhaps be bad for your memory and even give you cancer.Mobiles are popular among people because______. they think mobiles are fun they believe mobiles are safe they love to listen to music they feel it easier to talk to each other
