Officials in South Africa are trying to make sure they can solve an unusual problem in the 2010 World Cup Finals—baboon­jacking (狒狒打劫)．

For those who don’t know what this is，just ask any person from Cape Town.They will tell you that the local baboons like to enter cars and houses in search of food and drink.One special monkey，Fred，has become quite famous.Mark Duffy，leader of a group tracking Fred and his 26 strong partners，said，“Every day，it happens.He’ll hit four or five cars in about five minutes.The way Fred operates is to open car doors looking for food and drink.He also normally takes a handbag.” Mr Duffy had a warning for anyone who meets with Fred：“Don’t try to get the bag back.” This is good advice for the thousands of soccer supporters.

The Cape Town government is taking the baboon problem very seriously.They want to make sure the World Cup is a wonderful event for everyone.They are worried about more obvious problems like pickpockets  (小偷)  or rude people.The last thing they need is for soccer fans to be attacked or bitten by baboons.They have already spent over US $650,000 trying to protect the city from the baboons.Many soccer fans may not know how dangerous the baboons can be.They have a powerful bite that would mean hospital treatment.

City official Stephen Granger believes the soccer tournament (足球聯賽) will pass without incident：“I don’t think there is going to be any serious disruption (困擾) to tourists...We haven’t seen baboons in the Cape Town stadium yet.”

When writer Nicholas Carr began researching his book on whether the Internet is bad for our minds，he restricted (限制) his online access.

His new book “The Shallows：What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains”  suggests the latest technology makes us less able to think deeply.Cart found he couldn’t concentrate and that he couldn’t work on the book while staying online.

“So，I was only checking my e­mail a couple of times a day rather than every 45 seconds.I found those types of things really did make a difference，” he said.

After at first feeling uncomfortable with his sudden loss of online connection，within a couple of weeks，Carr was able to stay concentrated on one task for a longer period.

Carr wrote a 2008 Atlantic magazine piece that asked a question  “Is Google Making Us Stupid？”  and wanted to dig deeper into how the Internet changes our minds.His book examines the history of reading and the science of how using different media (媒體) changes our brains.Exploring how society changed from an oral tradition to the printed word and to the Internet，he explains how the brain adjusts itself to new information sources.

Reading on the Internet has greatly changed how we use our brains，he writes.Facing a lot of text，photos，videos，music，text messages，e­mails and blogs，our minds have become used to skimming (略讀) and scanning (跳讀) information.As a result，we have developed sharper skills at making fast decisions，Carr says.But now most of us infrequently read books，long essays or articles that would help us concentrate，Carr writes.

Carr says for centuries books helped focus our minds on one topic at a time.He has a suggestion for those who feel web surfing has left them unable to concentrate—slow down，turn off the Internet and practice the skills of being deep in thought.

Every child should have a solid science education whether they want to be the next Albert Einstein or Michael Jordan.Science is all around us，it is everywhere，reaching everything that we do.The  “we”  in that last statement includes children.Children that understand how science plays a role in our everyday lives have a wonderful foundation (基礎) for success in life.

Children can learn science at any age really.The earlier they start the better.The best way for kids to learn is through play and repetition.There are wonderful science toys for preschool science activities.With play being the best way kids learn，it only makes sense then to introduce toys to them that encourage understanding science.Children love to use their imagination to have fun and to help them understand the world around them.So play is a wonderful time to be introducing science to them.Think of the games that we used to play：Don’t Spill the Beans，Don’t Break the Ice，the Telephone Game，Lincoln Logs，each of these games has science behind it.

Children are by nature curious (好奇的) as they feel out the world，trying to make sense of what is around them.Science feeds that curiosity that they have.It is a hunger that needs to be encouraged and satisfied.Finding these toys is not as hard as one would think.To make sure that you get good quality toys，visit science toy shops online.These are the best places to find unique (獨特的) science toys such as 3­D space projectors，or Hydro Greenhouses.

Help your children appreciate the world around them by understanding the world around them.This way，they understand how we are all connected together.Children will not only question the world，but be able to come up with answers to those questions on their own.Science is life.

After suffering through many months of unemployment  (失業(yè))，my wife and I moved this week from Colorado to Ohio，where she was starting a new job.Not knowing anybody there，we were pretty concerned about how we’d get our entire home unloaded (卸下) without killing ourselves.

We made a phone call to hire (臨時雇用) a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there.But one neighbor after another stopped by to help us.What？Have_we_moved_to_some_other_country？Maybe_we’ve_died_and_gone_to_heaven!

Unloading actually became fun and joy because there were so many wonderful new friends to help when we worked.The more people helped，the easier the work became.We were afraid the job might take days for the two of us alone，but it was finished in a few hours.Many total strangers would either walk by the sidewalk or drive by to ask us if we were moving in.Many were happy that this old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again.We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.

All the time，my brain was resting on this new sense of hope that people can be so friendly to strangers.Among all the conversation were lots of offers to help each other in all kinds of ways.It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town.I feel so grateful to be here，and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire community can model  (做榜樣) what it’s like to help each other.
