study, and other activities to check your phone for messages? Are you anxious and restless if you are separated
from your mobile phone? Do you hardly ever use your phone to talk any more, and do your thumbs hurt from
texting too much?
[2] If _____, then it is very possible that you are a textaholic. A textaholic can be defined as someone who
is addicted to sending and receiving messages. The main symptoms are a strong desire to text messages, which
takes precedence (优先) over everything else, and bad moods, low spirits and a lack of self-confidence if
messages fail to come in. The root of the problem, as with many addictions, is the desire to escape from
emotional difficulties such as stress, anxiety and relationship problems. Experts warn that text addiction is likely
to become the most common form of addiction in the future, especially among the young.
[3] So what can you do if you think you may be a textaholic? The key is to get your life back in balance.
Make sure you resist the urge to answer every message you receive, and consider leaving your mobile phone
behind occasionally when you go out. Most importantly, make a point of spending quality time with friends and
family, and make time to re-learn the art of face-to-face conversation instead of conducting your relationships
by means of text messages. Not only will you save time and money, but you may also rediscover the pleasure
of true communication.

ancient. With a clear symbolic meaning, the flag in the traditional form is still used today to mark buildings,
ships and other vehicles related to a country.
The national flag as we know it today is in no way a primitive (原始的) artifact. It is,rather, the product
of thousands of years" development. Historians believe that it had two major ancestors, of which the earlier
served to show wind direction.
Early human beings used very fragile houses and boats. Often strong winds would tear roofs from houses
or cause high waves that endangered travelers. People"s food supplies were similarly valuable. Even after they
had learned how to plant grains, they still needed help from nature to ensure good harvests. Therefore they
feared and depended on the power of the wind, which could bring warmth from one direction and cold from
another.
Using a simple piece of cloth tied to the top of a post to tell the direction of the wind was more dependable
than earlier methods, such as watching the rising of smoke from a fire. The connection of the flag with
heavenly power was therefore reasonable.
Early human societies began to fix long pieces of cloth to the tops of totems (图腾) before carrying them
into battle. They believed that the power of the wind would be added to the good wishes of the gods and
ancestors represented by the totems themselves.
These flags developed very slowly into modern flags. The first known flag of a nation or a ruler was
unmarked: The king of China around 1000 B.C. was known to have a white flag carried ahead of him. This
practice might have been learned from Egyptians even further in the past, but it was from China that it spread
over trade routes through India, then across Arab lands, and finally to Europe, where it met up with the other
ancestor of the national flag.

signal (信号). Or they may pay no attention to signals from another person who is trying to develop a
relationship.
Different cultures emphasize (强调) the importance of relationship building to a greater or lesser degree.
For example, business in some countries is not possible until there is a relationship of trust. Even with people
at work, it is necessary to spend a lot of time in "small talk", usually over a glass of tea, before they do any
job. In many European countries-like the UK or France-people find it easier to build up a lasting working
relationship at restaurants or caf6s rather than at the office.
Talk and silence may also be different in some cultures. I once made a speech in Thailand. I had expected
my speech to be a success and start a lively discussion; instead there was an uncomfortable silence. The
people present just stared at me and smiled. After getting to know their ways better, I realized that they thought
I was talking too much. In my own culture, we express meaning mainly through words, but people there
sometimes feel too many words are unnecessary.
Even within Northern Europe, cultural differences can cause serious problems. Certainly, English and
German cultures share similar values; however, Germans prefer to get down to business more quickly. We
think that they are rude. In fact, this is just because one culture starts discussions and makes decisions more
quickly.
People from different parts of the world have different values, and sometimes these values are quite against
each other. However, if we can understand them better, a multicultural environment (多元文化环境) will offer
a wonderful chance for us to learn from each other.

apart, and during their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look
at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas
in turn,shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars un Greece than in China. The
Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban
environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical than Confucius. Unlike Confucius,
Socrates was not asked by rules how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic,
focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised
those in government service, and many of his students went out to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life:"Do not do to others what you
would not want others to do to you." He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some bad more
potential than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and
thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that the superior class should rule
the inferior (下层的) classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius,
however, the family was the centre of the society, with family relations considered much more important
than political relations. Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.
