December O6 Canada: For those of you who have been following this story, the third suspect(嫌疑犯) in the Canadian Cat Mutilation (残害) case has been caught. On March 8, after just under a year of searching, the FindMatt Campaign received information that would comfort many. Now known as Mattew Kaczorowski, 21 years old, this cat mutilator was picked up by the police from the streets of Vancouver. In May 2001, three young men took a young cat; named “Kensington” after the area of town from where she was taken, from the street to a house. They began to cruelly treat and mutilate her to death, videotaping the attack. Two of the suspects, recognized as 21-year old Jesse Champlain Power and 24-yearold Anthony Ryan Wennekers, were arrested shortly after the incident. Neither helped the police in an effort to find the third suspect. at the time known only as “Matt”.

    In May 2002. Katie set up the “Find Matt Campaign”, with the goals of raising public awareness (意识) about animal cruelty and having as many eyes as possible look for Matt.

    “I don't think Matt would have been caught had it not been for Katie Woodward's information.” said Detective Gordon Scow, one of the arresting officers.

    Kaczorowski faces the charges of animal cruelty, theft under $ 5000 and possession of property taken by crime, but one charge remains absent: that of animal cruelty. According to Canadian law, this kind of crime must be charged within six months.

    The case is now before the Courts.

    While finding Matt is a big step in the right direction of this case, it is not over. It remains that Kensington's guardian (监护人) has not yet come forward. It is important that her guardian speak out to lessen the possibility of the charges being dropped.

  Matt grows the nicest vegetables in the village. He grows fruits, too——big, sweet apples and oranges. And what else? Well, the biggest and the prettiest flowers.

  Things grow in Mitt’s garden all through the year. He cuts some flowers for his sitting-room table; and, of course, he eats some fruit and vegetables. But he sells everything else in the market. Matt is not a poor man—oh, no, he isn’t poor.

  Last week, about 600 teenagers in the US imagined a future changed by technology in which their lessons are taught by robots and they learn about celebrities and alien languages.They believe they will use jet packs(喷气背包),and hoverboards(旋转飞盘),as everyday transport.

  All the participants of the survey are teenagers born into the Internet age.The study is to show how the first cyber(计算机的)generation dream about a future life created by advanced technology.

  Most believe there will still be schools to go to, but that technology will play an increasingly important role in learning.The 600 teens surveyed think there will still be teachers, but 37 per cent imagine them to be robots.Some 24 per cent believe that teachers will still be human but they will have interchangeable microchips(微型芯片)so that one person can teach all subjects.

  More than one in two believe hoverboarding will be popular, while one-third say that wearing rocket boots will be their favourite activity.Another third think jet packs will be popular.Nearly 30 per cent think football and bike-riding will remain popular.

  When it comes to the curriculum, they think future generations will be learning about robot building(63 per cent),alien languages(47 per cent), celebrities(26 per cent)and R&B music(22 per cent).

  Children will wear virtual reality helmets(可视头盔)to bring lessons to life, say 40 per cent, while over 20 per cent believe they will not need lessons because microchips implanted(植入)in their head will send relevant(相关的)information into the brain.

  Matt Whyman, adviser to the chief medical officer on youth issues at American Online, said:“The kids seem very aware of the liberating qualities of technology.”

  Few people hate homework more than Alfie Kohn, author of The Homework Myth.There is a hot discussion across the country:does homework really improve school results? A growing number of educators say no.

  “We always think it is worth it,”says Kohn,“and homework will improve their school results and give them good study skills, but the research(研究)shows it is just not so.No study has ever found any academic benefit(学业上的成效)of assigning(布置)homework before kids are in high school.and even in high school the case is very weak.”

  But how could hours of reading, writing and solving math problems not help kids to learn? We asked tenth graders at the Galloway School, in Atlanta.

  “I learn everything that I need to in class,”says 16-year-old Matt Ritchie.“And it is really unnecessary to do homework.It is just boring.”

  “If I listen in class and take good notes, I usually do well on tests,”explains his classmate Paige Solomon,“So I don’t think it is helpful-if anything, it just makes me kind of fearful of going to that class.”

  “I’m usually in a bad mood when I have a lot of homework,”says 16-year-old Carter Parder,“because I stay up later.And then I’m groggy the next day.”

  According to Kohn, even if kids learn a little through homework, the cost is too high.Homework may kill a student’s interest in learning.If kids seem to be sinking(陷入)under a mountain of work, parents should intervene(干涉).Most adults wouldn’t want to work eight hours a day, and then come home to hours of extra work.Kids are no different.
