12．About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table，I couldn't help overhearing parts of their conversation．At one point the woman asked，"So，how have you been？"And the boy-who could not have been more than seven or eight years old-replied．"Frankly，I've been feeling a little depressed lately．"
   This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed （确认） my growing belief that children are changing．As far as I can remember，my friends and I didn't find out we were"depressed"，that is，in low spirits，until we were in high school．
     Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years．Children don't seem childlike anymore．Children speak more like adults，dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to．
     Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say，but it certainly is different．Childhood as it once was no longer exists．Why？
      Human development is depended not only on born biological states，but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge．Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions．Children have always been taught adult secrets，but slowly and in stages； traditionally，we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders．
    In the last 30 years，however，a secret-revelation （揭示） machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes．It is called television．Television passes information to all viewers alike，whether they are children or adults．Unable to resist the temptation （诱惑），many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging，more attractive moving pictures．
     Communication through print，as a matter of fact，allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain．Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials．

10．It was graduation day at the university where I work and a beautiful day quite unlike the first graduation I attended as a young professor．On that cold day years ago，as we watched the students walking into the hall，one of my colleagues turned to me and said，"Graduation will be one of the happiest and one of the saddest time of your life．"At my inquiry，he answered，"Because the students you have gotten to know have to leave．"
As years went by，my previous confusion about my colleague's words no longer existed．When I came across naughty students，I have had to rethink why I chose to be a teacher．It obviously isn't the money．Once a former computer science student of mine called me，asking me if I wanted to have a change．He was working at Nintendo Corporation．His salary was higher than my current one，though I have more education and have worked for over a decade．With my programming skills，he said he could get me hired．I thanked him，but declined his kind offer．
A few days before this current graduation，while working on final grades，I found a note a student had slipped in with her homework．She thanked me for being her teacher and said the things she had learned in my class-not about math，but about life-would be things she would remember long after the math skills had faded away．As I finished reading，I remembered why I had become a teacher．
Now，on this sunny graduation day，as I again observed the sea of  blue hats and gowns，I did so with renewed dedication （奉献） and a deeper sense of satisfaction-I will always be grateful that I am a teacher．
