  Spurred(刺激) by the unlimited texting plans offered by carriers like AT&T Mobility and Verizon Wireless, American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month, according to the Nielsen Company一almost 80 messages a day.

  The phenomenon is beginning to worry physicians and psychologists. Dr. Martin Joffe, a pediatrician in Greenbrae，Calif.，recently surveyed students at two local high schools and said he found that many were routinely sending hundreds of texts every day.

  The rise in texting is too recent to have produced any conclusive data on health effects. But Sherry Turkle, a psychologist who has studied texting among teenagers in the Boston area for three years,said it might be causing a shift in the way adolescents develop.

  "Among the jobs of adolescence are to separate from your parents，and to find the peace and quiet to become the person you decide you want to be," she said. "Texting hits directly at both those jobs.”

  Psychologists expect to see teenagers break free from their parents as they grow into autono- mous adults，Professor Turkle went on， " but if technology makes something like staying in touch very,very easy, that's harder to do;now you have adolescents who are texting their mothers 15 times a day,asking things like, * Should I get the red shoes or the blue shoes?'"

 One Saturday morning after breakfast, I returned to my dormitory and saw the house parent chasing the beautiful butterflies, hundreds of which lived in the bushes around the orphanage. I carefully watched as he caught these beautiful creatures, one after another, and then took them from the net and stuck straight pins through their head and wings,pinning them onto a heavy cardboard sheet.

  How cruel it was to kill something of such beauty. When the house parent went inside to answer the phone, I walked up to the cardboard and looked at the butterfly that he had just pinned to the large paper. It was still moving about, so I reached down and touched it on the wing,causing one of the pins to fall out. It started flying around and around, trying to get away but it was still pinned by one wing with another straight pin. Finally its wing broke off and the butterfly fell to the ground, still trembling. I tried to let it fly away before the house parent came back. But I failed.

  When the house parent came back,he was angry with me though I didn't admit doing any?thing. He picked up the cardboard paper and started hitting me on the head. There were all kinds of butterfly pieces going everywhere. He threw the cardboard down on the ground and told me to pick it up and put it in the garbage can inside the back room of the dormitory and then he left. I sat there in the dirt for the longest time trying to fit all the butterfly pieces back together so I could bury them whole, but it was too hard to do. So I prayed for them and put them in an old torn-up shoebox and I buried them in the ground near the blackberry bushes.

  Every year when the butterflies would return to the orphanage and try to land on me,I would try and shoo them away because they did not know that the orphanage was a bad place to live and a very bad place to die.

  Studies show that children who have imaginary friends are more likely to be more creative and better able to solve problems. Instead of criticizing them for it,encourage it.

  As it turns out,the things that you are able to do for free with your children are also some of the best for them like engaging them in creativity. A box of crayons, some paper,and a little coaching from you will go a long way. Don't judge so quickly. Just like creativity in adults, having a lot of unfiltered ideas is better than holding back on your freedom of expression. Give a kid some art supplies and you will be amazed at what they will come up with. Common house?hold items and things pulled out of the closet can turn into anything your child can dream up in their imagination.

  Fostering(培養(yǎng)) imagination is important because children need to learn how to solve their own problems instead of having their mom or dad always solve them for them. They need to strengthen those problem-solving skills,which will serve them well their whole lives. By letting children solve their own problems, they are less likely to have to depend on others when they grow up. They will be able to solve their own problems. They are less likely to become passive and let others dictate to them. They are better able to think through different scenarios(場景) and outcomes.

  To prepare for life in the real world, children should practice in the imaginary one to better help them cope. Putting them into " what if" situations gives them the tools they will need when

they go into the real world and are faced with real world problems to solve.
