一家名为“改革”的研究机构本周发布一项报告表明,年轻人正为这种漠不关心的态度付出昂贵的代价｡报告指出,政府的政策变革已经让他们开始感到做一个年轻人真是没劲透了｡

不服政府管束的所谓的“IPOD一代”目前已然受制于两种巨大的经济压力｡

而且,未来似乎也没有好转的迹象——由于政府拟进行养老金改革,加之固定给付式养老金计划即将取消,30风以下的人将面临严峻的形势｡

此外,诺丁汉大学的理查德•迪斯尼说,虽然人们在二三十岁的时候重债在身,但到了四五十岁时,这些债务终将成为过去｡

保守党影子内阁教育大臣大卫•威莱茨在付出年的一次演讲中说,年轻人“认为现行的经济与社会政策无异于是中年人对他们所策划的一声阴谋,这是可以被谅解的”｡

Dear Linda,
I'm afraid that I won't be in our dormitory tonight because my mother has come here to see me and I plan to sleep in the room she has booked in a nearby hotel I wish I could tell you that in person but you are not back yet. So I have to leave this note for you.
My mother has brought me several bags of green pea cake that are a special product of my hometown. I've left two of them on your desk. Help yourself and I hope you'll enjoy them.
Besides I have asked our teacher for a day's leave So I won't be present in tomorrow's class. Would you do me a favor by handing in my history assignment to the teacher? It is on your desk beneath the green pea cake. Thanks.
Take care of yourself.
Yours sincerely

As it is shown in the graph, in 2000, the number of cell phones in use is 85, 200, 000. And the number is increasing rapidly from 2001 to 2004. We can see the use of ceil phones in 2004 is nearly four times in number than that of in 2000. From these statistics, we can know more and more people have already changed their original communication into this convenient manner gradually.
But why does the cell phone gain so much dominance in our lives? There are mainly three factors accounting for this. Firstly, a cell phone has no wires and can be carried everywhere easily. It is smart. If you need to ring someone, you can just dial a number and the phone will connect you to the right person. It can be a great help for you to be connected with the world. Secondly, a cell phone is something wonderful that we can have fun with, for instances, we can browse news, play games, listen to the music and chat for its simultaneous improvement in the functions and connection with the Internet. Thirdly, the drop in price makes it possible for an average person to use a cell phone.
Of course, any new invention has its drawbacks, but such negative aspects cannot always diminish its popularity. As far as I see, with the introduction of new techniques in future, mobile phones will have more applications and become even more appealing to customers.
