20．Generational differences and the economy （经济） are shifting （转移） more responsibilities for children from their parents to grandparents，according to a new survey．
More than one-third of grandparents aged 50and older contribute financially to their grandchildren's upbringing，and 11percent have a grandchild living with them，the poll （民意测验） by AARP，the group for 36million older US citizens，showed．
Forty percent of people who responded to the telephone survey，whose average age was 69，reported spending more than $500on grandchildren over the past year beyond traditional gifts． Education costs accounted for 53percent，daily expenses for 37percent and medical costs for 23percent．Sixteen percent provided daycare for grandchildren．
"They are the safety net for American families，helping to pay for practical expenses and necessities，"said Amy Goyer，AARP's multi-generational and family issues （问题） expert．
"We see many providing daycare services，while growing numbers even have grandchildren living with them，"she said，referring to the 16percent who watch their grandchildren while the parents are at work or school．
Generally nearly 90 percent of the 1，904 grandparents questioned said they play a very or somewhat important role in their grandchildren's lives，and about 70percent live within 50miles of the closest one．
The poll conducted by Woelfel Research Inc．also showed that grandparents were increasingly keyed to the younger generation's life issues and preferred ways of communicating．
More than one-third connect with their grandchildren via email or text messaging，while half said they routinely discuss topics ranging from values and spirituality to drug and alcohol use．
Nearly 40 percent said they had discussed dating or sex with at least one grandchild．Some 60percent said they spoke with their grandchildren at least once a week．

19．Companies trying to market products to mothers need to head onto the Internet with a survey showing the mothers today are online daily，using Facebook to connect to friends and Google to diagnose（诊断）illnesses．
A survey by parenting website BabyCenter．corn found 63% of online mothers now use social media networks such as Facebook regularly，compared to only 11% three years ago．"They don't watch TV as much，they are not reading magazines as much，but instead they check Facebook where people are really drawn together over parenting questions，"BabyCenter's Editor-in-Chief Linda said．"One of the major activities is looking for comments on products．They are information seeking，particularly when it comes to babies，and companies need to realize this．"
Companies also need to know their market well as mothers are sharing information-and complaints-online regularly．
A drug company learned the hard way last November when online mothers found an ad targeting moms to be offensivedl（冒犯的），which result in a hot debate on the micro-blogging site Twitter．The company had to take the video ad down from its website and apologized for any offense caused．
The online survey also found that mothers aren't going to the doctor as often．Instead they are using the Internet to find out what is wrong with their children and，when they do go to the doctor，asking which drug they should use rather than for a diagnosis．In online communities children's health issues are the leading topic of interest rating as high as 91 percent followed by childhood development tips at 79 percent and product reviews at 72 percent．

When he was just 20，Teofilo went to the Olympic Games in Germany and won a gold medal．He was tall and powerful with a long"reach"．His long arms could hit opponents （对手） before they could hit him．At the Games in Canada in 1976 he won the gold again．In the ring，boxers were afraid of Teofilo，they tried to stay away from him and not get too close to his powerful punches （拳）．He won another gold medal in Moscow in 1980．Only two of the fights he had at the Olympic Games lasted for the full three rounds．That means he either knocked his opponents to the floor and they were counted out or the referee stopped the fight because it was dangerous for the other boxer．
Stevenson was such a good boxer that people wanted him to turn professional．After he had won his first gold medal，managers and famous promoters started to offer him money to fight around the world．Teofilo turned them all down．He wanted to stay in Cuba and didn't want to fight for money or fame．
