Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence - and a not-so-good influence - on this generation of American teenagers£®More than 2,000 teachers took an online survey£®Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a "mostly positive" effect on their students' research habits and skills£®But 64 percent said the technologies "do more to distract£¨Ê¹ - - - ---·ÖÐÄ£© students than to help them academically£®" And 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an "easily distracted generation with short attention spans£®"

The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the National Writing Project£®Judy Buchanan is the vice director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report£®Ms£®Buchanan says digital research tools are helping students learn more and faster£®"Teachers really favor these tools because they are ways to make some of the learning exciting and engaging£®Young people favor these tools£®The goal is to really help them become creators of meaningful content, and not just sort of consumers£®"

But one problem the survey found is that many students lack digital literacy£®They trust too muck of the information they find on the Internet£®Judy says these students haven't developed the skills to determine the quality of online information£®"It's something that really has to be taught and paid attention to£®Because in a world in which things happen quickly, you do need to step back, reflect and analyze the information you have£®"

Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online£®Teachers say the result is a reduction in the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers£®They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research libraries£®

Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities£®

More and more people are aware that an afternoon nap(С˯) can do a body good. But there are still doubters out there. To help spread the power of the afternoon nap, we list some common misunderstandings about napping we still hear.

Misunderstanding # 1 : Napping is only for the lazy.

Fact: Around a third of American adults nap on the average day, and for good reason: A short nap can improve everything from alertness(¾¯¾õ) and memory to creativity and productivity(Éú²úЧÂÊ). And none of these sounds like laziness to us!

Misunderstanding # 2 : If I take a nap, I¡¯ll only wake up feeling worse.

Fact: That weak feeling after you wake up from a nap is real (it even has a name: sleep inertia), but it¡¯s not a guarantee(±£Ö¤). How you feel after your nap is a factor of how long you sleep. Experts generally agree that a nap should last no longer than 30 minutes. ¡°If it takes longer than 30 minutes, you end up in deep sleep. You¡¯re going into a stage of sleep where you find it very difficult to wake up.¡± said sleep expert Michael J. Breus, Ph. D. Next time you¡¯re in the mood for a nap, set your alarm for 20 to 30 minutes, tops.

Misunderstanding # 3 : You mustn¡¯t nap at work.

Fact: In fact, in the office environment, we¡¯re all for catching a few winks (Õ£ÑÛ) during the workday. Some companies have even created special rooms for afternoon naps as more and more employers come around to the idea that a well-rested workforce is a more productive workforce. If your employer doesn¡¯t offer a place to lay your head, try to find an empty conference room where you can close the door and turn off the lights. Really want. You can also take a nap during your lunch break on a park bench or in your car.

Misunderstanding # 4 : I¡¯ll be more productive if I just finish this task, rather than waste time sleeping.

Fact: Yes, you¡¯ll be away from your desk if you spend 10 to 30 minutes sleeping. But you¡¯ll likely make up for that ¡°wasted¡± time afterward. ¡°My research shows that people feel tired after a long time of work during the day,¡± Sara Mednick told Bloomberg Businessweek. ¡°It¡¯s difficult to keep energetic and productive all day.¡± However, a nap can leave you feeling refreshed and more ready to deal with the task at hand.

When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (ÍŽá). To show this, she pick up one chopstick, taking it as one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, taking them as a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up.

Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard.

Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, "Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.¡±

With three generations of Ans working together, now the Ans' business makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.
