Studies have shown most people fail to realise how much time they spend on their smartphones each day.
Frank and Amelia's family were put to a test, using a free app called “Moment-screen Time Tracker”. The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia,14-year-old twins Frankie and Joe, and 17-year-old Sam—all said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones each day.
“Honestly, I don't feel like I'm on my phone a lot,” Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her phone far less often than Frank, according to the app.While Amelia spent about an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent close to four hours on his phone — which came as a shock to him.The children's times varied but they often spent more than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolis-based Dr Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families. Lind Seal said many family members' phone use has become problematic(产生问题的).
“If we hear more than once,'Do you have to be on your phone right now? Can you please put your phone down? Did you hear what I said?' it may be a sign that it is negatively influencing our family relationships and our daily lives,” she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in deciding when to put it down.
She asks parents to encourage more face-to-face communication for teens and young adults as they continue developing their social and emotional(情感的) skills. “What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people's feelings and problems—when we spend a lot of time on our smartphones to communicate with other people,” she said.
Jim Denevan is an amazing artist whose work is admired by all, but owned by none — that's because all of Jim's art is created on an unusual canvas — the soft sand. He sometimes spends days working on a piece, only to see it washed away by the sea or a storm and that is just the way he likes it.
Denevan discovered his artistic talents about ten years ago, when he was wandering aimlessly on the beach with a stick. He ended up drawing a 12-foot-long fish. Since then, Jim has traveled over 1,800 miles while creating over 600 pieces of sand art.
Over the years, his drawings have become bigger, but the tools he uses haven't changed. All he needs is a stick, a garden rake and most importantly, his lively imagination!
Just like any good artist, Jim is quite particular about the “quality” of his canvas, sometimes walking for miles, in search of perfect sand. His latest piece of work, which is also the world's largest freelance drawing, was created in the desert sands of Nevada. It took Jim three trips, eight days and over 100 miles of walking to create this 3-mile work of art. It took the storm just one night to destroy it! However, Jim says he actually enjoys watching the waves or rain wash his paintings away.
Jim's art has become very popular over the years and was even the topic of a documentary named “Sandman” in 2005. Jim Denevan is not only about art in the sand, but also an excellent chef (厨师) and founder of an organization called “Outstanding in the Field”, whose motto (格言) is to celebrate food at its source. Accordingly, group dining events are held outdoors on farms, with the diners being treated to a delicious meal. The events, which are held in different farms throughout America, are always sold out the minute the schedule is announced.
I travel a lot, and I find out different "styles" (风格) of directions every time I ask "How can I get to the post office?"
Foreign tourists are often confused (困惑) in Japan because most streets there don't have names; in Japan, people use landmarks (地标) in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, "Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop."
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles(英里), instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, "Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile."
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure(测量) distance in time, not miles. "How far away is the post office?" you ask. "Oh," they answer, "it's about five minutes from here." You say, "Yes, but how many miles away is it?" They don't know. It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, 'Sorry, I have no idea." But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers "I don't know." People in Yucatan believe that "I don't know" is impolite, They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
How to Develop Interpersonal Skills
People use interpersonal skills daily—socially as well as professionally—and usually without even being conscious of their effectiveness. In the workplace, listening, communicating, working together and manners are important interpersonal skills. An employee who is short of any of these soft skills must work consciously to strengthen and develop them.
Listen up.
Active listening is a skill that must be learned and practiced. The active listener provides feedback by focusing their full attention on the speaker and responding with verbal and nonverbal clues that the speaker's message is heard and understood.
Avoid failure to communicate.
Simply talking to people does not guarantee that your message is getting across(被理解). Common barriers(障碍) to communication are lack of verbal clues, cultural differences, lack of interest, distractions, and unfamiliar expressions. Expect such barriers and deal with them. Learn to think before you speak, and express yourself clearly and carefully.
Get it together.
Working together is the key to working effectively.Create such an environment, rather than competition, and respect the opinions of others. Praise and thank coworkers for their contributions and treat all suggestions and opinions with respect.
The basics of these interpersonal skills are the rules of politeness and good manners. Respecting other cultures can strengthen a relationship. Be aware of what is happening in your coworkers' lives and care for them. Stay cheerful and positive in the office.
A.Mind your manners.
B.Stay positive when talking to others.
C.Working successfully with others can make a career.
D.It can avoid letting the speaker's message disappear.
E.Practice smiling in front of the mirror until you feel confident.
F.Otherwise, the employee can't get along with superiors and coworkers.
G.Control your nonverbal communication—facial expressions, body language and eye contact.
When he was 5, Nicholas Lowinger visited a homeless shelter with his mother. He was1to show off his new lightup sneakers(运动鞋). But his mom warned him against doing so，2that these children might not have such things.
Sure enough, when Nicholas met kids at the shelter, he3realized that they were living in4 that were different from his own.
“I saw other kids who looked just like me. The only5was that they were wearing6shoes that were falling apart. Some didn't have a pair of shoes to call their own.” said Nicholas, now 15. “I've been7to grow up in a family that is able to provide me with whatever I need.

So at the age of 12, Nicholas started a program that donates15shoes to homeless children. Then, 16 the help of his parents, he started the Gotta Have Sole Foundation(基金会), which has donated new footwear to more than 10,00017 children in 21 states.
“Something that seems so18, a pair of shoes, can make children feel19 and gain confidence.” Nicholas20other young people to do the same.
