10．Paracutin was born in Mexico in February，1943．At the end of one week Paracutin was 500feet high，and it is now over 9，000feet high．Today Paracutin is asleep．
Whatis Paracutin？It was the first volcano in the world which was seen from its birth right up to the present day．On February 20，1943，a peasant and his wife set out to work in their corn fields from the Mexican village of Paracutin．They were surprised to find the earth warm under their feet．Suddenly they heard noises deep in the earth and a small hole appeared in their field．In the afternoon there was a sudden loud noise and stones were thrown high in the air．The peasants ran from the field and turned to watch．They saw the birth of a volcano．
Large quantities of stone and lava broke out and a little hill began to form．By evening this hill was 100feet high and hot ashes were falling on the village．At night the strong light of the hot lava lit up the countryside．The trees near the village were killed and the villagers had to leave their houses．When the village was destroyed，its name was given to the volcano．The news quickly reached Mexico City，far to the east．Many people came to watch the scene．The volcano grew and grew for ten years and hundreds of square miles of forest were destroyed．Then Paracutin went to sleep．

9．Nowadays the U．S．students are sleepy in school because they spend too much time texting，playing video games，watching TV and using the media in other ways．
"Heavy media use interferes with sleep by reducing sleep duration，making it harder to fall asleep，and lowering sleep quality，"Meilan Zhang，an assistant professor at the University of Texas at El Paso，wrote in her research review in the journal，Sleep Medicine．
But the relationship between youth's media use and sleep is not so simple，said Michael Gradisar，who authored both that review and the Sleep Medicine meta-analysis．"Technology use is the new evidence when we are trying to answer‘Why are school-age children sleeping less？'"said Mr．Gradisar，an associate professor of psychology at Flinders University in Adelaide，Australia．
There may be safe limits to technology use，Mr．Gradisar stated．For instance，recent research results indicate that using a bright screen for an hour before bed or even playing violent video games for less than that will not necessarily interfere with teenagers'sleep，he wrote．
But longer periods of usage can be harmful to sleep，Mr．Gradisar added．Rather than delaying school start times，he said，the first step should be educating parents about limiting the hours that their children are using technology before bed，and enforcing a consistent bedtime．
Early school start times are also commonly blamed for students'sleepiness，especially for adolescents．Secondary schools around the nation and the world have been delaying start times，often with positive results．
Mr．Minnich of the TIMSS and PIRLS International Study Center hesitated to put blame to any particular factor．But he did think that cost-saving measures to consolidate（合并）bus routes might help explain U．S．students'sleepiness．
"For those children who board the bus first，they must get up earlier，may end up sleeping on the way to school，and may end up arriving at school sleepy．"he said．

5．In the early 1980s to have a mobile phone was an impossible luxury to most people in the world．People did not usually assume that they had to reach someone via a mobile phone on a regular basis．It didn't matter if you didn't have a mobile phone．In the modern society owning a mobile phone has no longer been a privilege，but a necessity．Almost anyone needs a mobile phone to reach as well as be reached by others no matter where they are．The days are gone when phone ownership depended on a fixed address and a high salary．
It is amazing to see how fast and how far the mobile phone has spread．Teenagers have become the channel through which mobile phones have found their way into the wider society．The young were also the first to see the potential of text messaging．However，the mobile phone is by no means a mere technological innovation； it heightens a basic human quality-the ability to communicate-there are few aspects of life that it fails to touch．
The mobile phone is mobile only because the user is mobile．We are in a time of mobility．Never before have so many people been on the move，whether as commuters，workers，travelers，freelancers or migrants．Mobile phones encourage and respond to this mobility．They help those far away from their home to keep in touch with their families．They serve as a means of people fitting into a new social environment．
The mobile phone changes the way people organize their lives．Plans can be made or changed at any moment and while organizing in advance used to be extremely important to any social gathering，now only the vaguest plans are necessary．Mobile phones even change the experience of being alone as they provide countless way to pass the time．
It is ridiculous to compare a mobile to a body part，but carried on the person，often all the time，they are something to which people have grown attached．
