19.We may all like to consider ourselves free spirits.But a study of the tracks left by 50,000mobile phone users over three months has finally proved that the truth is otherwise.
"We are all in one way or another boring,"says Albert-Laszlo Barabasi at the Center for Complex Network Research at Northeastern University in Boston,who co-wrote the study."Spontaneous individuals are largely absent from the population,"
Barabasi and colleagues used three months'worth of data from a mobile phone network to track the mobile phone towers each person's phone connected to each hour of the day,showing their general location.They conclude that regardless of whether a person typically remains close to home or wanders far and wide,their movements are probably predictable as much as 93percent of the time.
Surprisingly,the mobile phone data showed that individuals'movements were more or less as predictable at weekends as on weekdays,suggesting that routine(日程) is rooted in human nature rather than being an effect of work patterns.
The mobile phone records were handled to make out the most visited locations for each user.Then the probability of finding a given user at his most visited locations at each hour through the day was calculated.
People were to be found in their most visited location for any given hour 70percent of the time.Not surprisingly,the figure increased at night,and decreased at lunchtime and in the early evening,when most people were returning home from work.
The team analyzed the randomness(随意性) of people's traces to show it was possible in theory to predict the average person's places as much as 93percent of the time.
"Say your routine movement is from home to the coffee shop to work:if you are at home and then go to the coffee shop it's easy for me to predict that you are going to work,"says co-author Nicholas Blumm.
This predictability was not much affected by differences in age,gender,language spoken or whether a person lived in a rural or urban setting.

17.Steve Flaig of Grand Rapids,Michigan,knew he'd been adopted as a baby,and when he turned 18,in 2003,he decided he'd try to track down his birth mother.The agency from which he'd been adopted gave him his mother's name:Christine Tallady.But online searches didn't turn up any results,and Flaig let it go.
In 2007,though,he searched for the name again online.This time,the search results included a home address near the Lowe's store where Flaig,then 22,worked as a deliveryman.When he mentioned the coincidence to his boss,his boss said,"You mean Chris Tallady,who works here?"
Flaig and Tallady,45,a cashier,had said hi to each other a few times at the store,but they'd never really talked.He hadn't even known her name.Flaig thought,"There's no possible way she's my mother."
For a few months,Flaig avoided Tallady."I wasn't sure how to approach her,"he told a local reporter.Finally,an adoption agency employee volunteered to call Tallady for him.
When Tallady realized that the nice guy she'd been waving at was her son,she blubbered."I wasn't ready to be a mother at that time."She'd given him up for adoption in 1985,when she was 23.However,she'd always hoped to meet her birth son one day.Later that day,mother and son talked for almost three hours at a nearby bar.
Married with two other children,Tallady said,"I have a complete family now."

I then found myself a job,looking after two little girls.It wasn't too bad at first.But the problems began when I agreed to live in,so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening.We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week,she'd give me time off the next.But unfortunately,it didn't often work out.I was getting extremely tired and fed up,because I had too many late nights and early mornings with the children.

Now I've got a full-time job there.I shall always be thankful to Megan.I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career,even if you aren't top of the class at school.
