A woman' s husband divorced her because she spent too much time on the Internet. But she continued to surf the World Wide Web. She did this so often that she forgot to take her children to the doctor or get the kids enough food. Her husband asked the court for the children. 

But he needed someone to support her illness. " I had to write a letter to the judge," said Dr. Jonathan Kandell. " The judge did not believe there was such a thing as Internet addiction. " 

Is there? Some psychologists say that Internet addiction is real, just like gambling or drug abuse. 

At the University of Maryland, a doctor started an Internet addiction support group after he watched a few addicted students nearly failed school. 

How can you tell if you have an abnormal pattern of Internet use? Do you need to spend increased amounts of time on the Internet to achieve satisfaction? And when you' re not online, do you have fantasies or dreams about the Internet? 

Tyler Johnson, 17, a high school senior in Abbotsford, British Columbia, spends more than six hours a day online and more than an hour reading his email. 

Tyler dropped out of school sports, and now, every day after school until 3 or 4 o' clock in the morning, he plays games on the Internet. 

Dr. Kandell guesses that many addicts don' t get help because they don' t know they have a problem. " I think we' re about a year away from having people recognize it' s really a problem," he said. " It' s out there. There' s no question. " 

The first time I realized that I had a love for sports competitions was during the Field Day inelementary school. Small for my age, and more of a bookworm than a sports lover, I had suffered that special humiliation of being picked last for various gym teams. The Field Day, which focused on individual (个体的) skills, was different. In the Softball Throw event, I got my first taste of sporting victory. Credit goes to the example of my first coach, my father. He lifted weights every morning at home. He bought us all baseball gloves and hats, and in the warm months, we spent hours playing catch. 

Once I got to sixth grade and switched to private school, our entire student body was assigned to either the Red or the White team. Throughout the year, we competed against each other in various games and exercises for points. I eventually became president of The Committee of Games. I also played on the field hockey team and the basketball team. And at home, playing tennis, skating, skiing and biking were simply normal things we did. During the break time, magazines were also quite popular for us teens. These regularly featured articles on physical exercise. Somehow, my college roommate and I took up the habit of completing Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) exercises every day, a practice that continued into my marriage, when we had no spare money to use to join a gym. 

So, though it shocks some of our friends, that early foundation (基础) evolved in adulthood into a sports and fitness focus, considered important even on vacation. I still love reading and the arts, too. As far as I' m concerned, life is the richest with my feet in both worlds.

It was Christmas Day. For Antony, this was another day spent in a white-walled 1 . His wife and son were enjoying chicken and soup at home. But for Antony, he couldn't enjoy the Christmas 2 with them. Instead, he was surrounded by flashes of red from arriving ambulances. He was 3 lives.

About fifty years ago, Antony was born in a little 4 in Northern Greece, where religious festivities were upheld with the highest honor. However, he was a boy who 5 Santa. When asked the reason, he laughed out and said, "He was always there, but he never 6 me Christmas presents." His laugh then turned into a(n) 7 yell, trying to get emotional resonance (共鸣). He continued, "All the other children in the village got Christmas 8 except me."

When he was a boy, his parents struggled hard to make ends meet and couldn't 9 to buy him gifts. He was left to think Santa was an 10 magical man who always forgot him. Santa brought the other children presents, but ignored him. People could never imagine what it was like for him to watch all the other 11 open their Christmas presents.

12 , when other children in the village played with new toys, Antony passed the time by reading his older brother's 13 textbooks. His appetite for reading and the example his older brother set 14 him to study hard and become a 15 . Antony is now a senior cardiologist. He works 16 at the hospital, close to the village where he grew up.

Doctors are especially needed, and Antony is not relying on Santa to deliver. He is at the hospital, like Santa, faithfully 17  the greatest gift of all. Antony teaches us that we can rise from 18  beginnings. His story shows us that though we may not grow up having what others do, with the right 19  and hard work, we can do something 20 .

Earth Hour is an annual event, asking you to switch off all your lights for one hour in positive change for our planet. It is organized by the World Wide Fund for Nature and it's a big event usually at the end of March every year. , which means switching off all lights everywhere at the same time for one hour.

Earth Hour started in Australia in 2007, when 

2.2 million people in Sydney turned off all unnecessary lights for an hour. , and many countries around the world have taken part.

It's true that switching off the lights for just one hour saves only a little power. . Joining in Earth Hour makes people think about the problem of climate change and how to protect nature so that people can enjoy healthy and sustainable lives. Besides, many people acting together pushes governments and companies to consider green issues when making big decisions.

. The number 60 is for the 60 minutes of Earth Hour, and the plus invites people to keep on taking action even after Earth Hour is finished. In fact, people joining in Earth Hour say that taking part in it inspires them to do more for the environment. The climate activist Greta Thunberg says, "Earth Hour is every hour of every day."

Why is it in March? At the end of March in the northern and southern hemispheres (半球), the days and the nights are almost of the same length. , so it is dark in the evening in each country for the Earth Hour switch-off.

Marketers assume the more choice they offer, the more likely customers will be able to find just the right thing. For instance, offering fifty styles of jeans instead of two increases the chances that shoppers will find a pair they really like. Nevertheless, research now shows when there is too much choice, consumers are less likely to buy anything at all, and if they do buy, they are less satisfied with their selection.

It all began with jam. In 2000, psychologists Sheena Iyengar and Mark Lepper published a remarkable study. On one day, shoppers saw a display table with 24 varieties of jam. Those sampling the jam received a coupon for $1 off any jam. On another day, shoppers saw a similar table, but only six varieties of jam were on display. The large display attracted more interest than the small one. But when the time for purchase came, people seeing the large display were one-tenth as likely to buy as people seeing the small one.

Other studies have confirmed this result that more choice is not always better. As the variety of snacks, soft drinks and beers offered at convenience stores increases, for instance, sales volume and customer satisfaction decrease. These results challenge our opinions about human nature and the determinants of well-being.

Choice is good for us, but its relationship to satisfaction appears to be more complicated than we assumed. What's more, psychologists and business academics have largely ignored another outcome of choice: More of it requires increased time and effort and can lead to anxiety, regret, excessively high expectations and self-blame if the choice doesn't work out.

Without doubt, having more options enables us, most of the time, to achieve better objective outcomes. Again, having fifty styles of jeans rather than two increases the likelihood that customers will find a pair that fits. But the subjective outcome may be that shoppers will feel dissatisfied, which creates a significant challenge for retailers and marketers. Choice can no longer be used to justify a marketing strategy. More isn't always better, either for the customer or for the retailer.

You may hear the awful saying "You can't teach an old dog new tricks", which speaks to a common belief about older adulthood that it's a time when we've become so set in our ways that we're not likely to change.

Psychologists used to follow the same line of thinking: After young adulthood, people tend to become stabler as people age. However, more recent studies suggest that something unexpected happens to many people as they reach and pass their 60s: Their personality starts changing again. People's personality can change in response to their circumstances, adapting to a changing life. These developments clarify personality is not a permanent state but an adaptive way of being.

We can't say with certainty what factors are driving these shifts, but a few theories exist. One possibility is that personality is shaped by specific life events that tend to happen in older age: retirement, empty nesting or widowhood (丧偶). But such milestones aren't very reliable sources of change. They affect some people deeply, but have no impact on others. Any one event could mean many different things, depending on its context. Jenny Wagner, a psychologist at the University of Hamburg, in Germany, gave an example. Losing a partner could be a great loss, but for some it could be a bit of a relief at the same time-say, for someone who's been caring for their ill partner for years.

Granted, old-age personality changes don't always result from a sense of helplessness or an endlessly shrinking life. Research has shown that when people get older, they commonly recalibrate their goals; though they might be doing less, they tend to prioritize what they find meaningful and really appreciate it. That may involve adjusting to what they can't control, but it doesn't necessarily mean they're reacting to a bad life—just a different one.

At the same time not all of the changes coming with old age are unavoidable. And if old adults had more support from their communities and society, perhaps they'd be better able to command their circumstances—rather than having to make up for factors slipping out of their grasp.
