I was recent told that listening to loud music is gradually making people hard of hearing. I’m sure it has already been happened to my neighbor. For years she has turned a deaf ear to my requests to turn his radio down. When she gave a party she isn’t have to invite the rest of the street. Everyone can dance in her music in his own room. Now a scientist has discovered a certain electronic sounds have strange effects on rats. He declares they break down with their legs trembled . Then it is simply a matter of throwing them out by their tail. I wonder that the same thing will happen to my neighbor someday.

It was graduation day at Etihad Training Academy,where the national airline of the United Arab Emirates holds a seven-week training course for new flight attendants.

Despite her obvious pride,Ms.Fathi,a 22-year-old from Egypt,was amazed to find herself here.“I never in my life thought I’d work abroad,” said Ms.Fathi,who was a university student in Cairo when she began noticing newspaper advertisements employing young Egyptians to work at airlines based in the Persian Gulf.

Twenty years ago,unmarried Arab women like Ms.Fathi,working outside their home countries,were rare.But just as young men from poor Arab nations poured into the oil-rich Persian Gulf states for jobs,more young women are doing so.

Flight attendants have become the public face of the new mobility for some young Arab women,just as they were the face of new freedoms for women in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s.They have become a subject of social anxiety and fascination in much the same way.

For many families,allowing a daughter to work may call her virtue into question.Yet this culture is changing,said Musa Shteiwi,a sociologist at Jordan University in Amman.“We’re noticing more and more single women going to the gulf these days,” he saiD. “It’s still not exactly common,but over the last four or five years it’s become quite an observable phenomenon.”

Many of the young Arab women working in the Persian Gulf take delight in their status as pioneers,role models for their friends and younger female relatives.Young women brought up in a culture that highly values community,have learned to see themselves as individuals.The experience of living independently and working hard for high salaries has forever changed their beliefs about themselves,though it can also lead to a painful sense of separation from their home countries and their families.

—From New York Times (December 22,2014)

I have two sons. They are as different as night and day. My youngest is sweet, loveable, easy-going, and finds joy in everything. My oldest we’ve nicknamed the “Evil Genius” is ambitious, self-confident, and suffers no fools.

Whenever we mentioned Santa my husband and I were rewarded with major eye rolling and deep sighs from my oldest. At first we both tried to ignore it.

We both knew that our eldest had figured out the big secret. But I’d be damned(指责) if he was going to ruin it for his six-year-old brother who had plenty of Santa-loving years ahead of him. I looked at my husband in the eye and said, “I’ll handle this.” to which he responded “Okay just be careful because I’m not sure he knows - he might just be acting like it.” But I knew. And I had it in my mind that he was about to break his younger brothers spirit and break the news to him. I was afraid he was going to take the Christmas spirit away from my sweet innocent youngest and stamp all over it. I had to protect him. I needed to control this now before it got out of control. I rushed into the play room where my oldest was playing alone. I looked him dead in the eyes and said: “Well you know Santa isn’t real, right?” And as I stared at my eight-year-old son for what seemed like a long time of silence, his eyes started to fill with tears. And a tear dropped down his cheek when he screamed out, “He’s not?”

“Um well it’s not that he’s not real (shut up you idiot- stop saying he’s not real), but he doesn’t really make and deliver all the toys. Dad and I get some of them for you. So he’s real. He’s just got a little help from us.”

The Evil Genius wasn’t buying it. He just sat there looking at me with an expression of doubt.

You know when you make a terrible mistake but you can’t stop yourself from making it worse? That was me because I just had to know. I had to know why he had seemed to be over Santa. So I asked him why he rolled his eyes and sighed every time his father and I mentioned Santa, to which he replied that kids at school had been saying Santa wasn't real but that he still thought he was.
