Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a "sea of digital(数字) technology". As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others.

"I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things." said a teacher, Colin Kinney. "Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone."

Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and fter scriool. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age?

Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.

Bob shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully counted the coins. He had only $24.52，but the bike he wanted was at least $90! How could he get the rest of the money? His friends all had bikes. It was difficult to hang out with people when you were the only one without a bike. He thought about what he could do. He knew his parents couldn't help him, for they had no extra money. There was only one way to get money. He had to find a job. He decided to ask Mr Scott for advice.

"Well，you can start right here, " said Mr Scott. "You see, my house needs cleaning and my car needs washing. "

That was the beginning of Bob's part-time job. For the next three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He took dogs for walks, cleaned cupboards and swept the floor.

The day finally came! Bob counted his money and found $9 .32. He went to the shop to buy the bike at once. He rode home proudly, looking forward to showing his new bike to his friends. Bob loved his bike very much because he had bought it with his own money. He had achieved what he thought was impossible, and that was even more than the bike.
