【题目】Every place you leave becomes a memory. Even if you return to visit in your mind it’s as it was when you left.

I consider New York City my second hometown. You fight your way into New York City. It isn’t easy. It isn’t cheap. It isn’t so friendly. So when I got to Helsinki the capital of Finland I was surprised at how easy it was. People were friendly and nice. They are curious about what I thought of Finland.

Except the coffee and the cost of living Helsinki and New York don’t have much in common but I was born in the US Midwest which was heavily influenced by North Europe. So the life of Finland seemed familiar to that of the US.

Still I missed New York I visited it last year and I went to my old coffee room still in the same place. Although it was 2014 my mind insisted that it was 2007 and I had never left. The waiter looked at me silently reaching for the same size cup and pouring the same type of coffee I always got. Same corner same waiter same coffee.

To the waiter he guessed maybe I moved to another neighborhood. He wouldn’t guess from my appearance that I haven’t even been in the country. He didn’t find that there was anything different until I opened my mouth. It was something I said I’m sure. He mistook me for one of the tourists who got lost on their way from Times Square.

In my mind this is my home. It was the place when I dreamed of my childhood long after I left it; and now I am the same as the other tourists with the packbag.

【题目】

We asked thirty young people between 14 and 18 several questions. All the children had computers at home. The average time spent on a computer in a week was about 12 hours, with the highest about 32 hours, and the lowest only 5 hours. Most children said they usually used computers to play games. Fourteen children told us they did some word-processing(文字处理) at times. Eight people told us they kept addresses and phone numbers on their computers or used them as diaries. Only three people said they were learning to write computer programs and nobody used databases(数据库). Only two of them said computers helped with their lessons. The diagram(表格) gives all the results one by one.

The results show that computer use is quite common among 14-18-year-old children. They also show quite clearly that computers are seen by most young people as little more than game machines. It means to us that, though computers are common(普遍) in the homes of young people, they have not yet become popular in everyday life.
