Within a few short years, girls in Europe have be-come heavier smokers than boys according to a
British study presented (递交) last week to an international conference on smoking.
Antismoking activists (积极分子) at the second Tobacco or Health conference in the Canary Islands
pointed out that while adults were giving up smoking in ever growing numbers, more and more young
people were taking up the habit, particularly girls.
One in four 15-year-olds is a regular smoker, according to a study made in 27 countries in Europe
and the United States, Canada and Israel-by Edinburgh University together with the World Health
Organization.
In Western Europe, girls were more likely than boys to smoke. In Germany or in England, one third of
the girls were smokers compared to one in four boys. In Eastern Europe, the girls "still fall behind" those in the Western Europe, but were "catching up" quickly, said the study.
The study dealt with the behavior of 15-year-olds in seven European countries over four-year period
between 1986 and 1998.
The percentage of young women smoking went from 17 percent to 36 percent in Austria, from 17
percent to 28 percent in Norway, from 21 percent to 28 percent in Hungary.
In the seven countries and regions-Austria, Fin-land, Hungary, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland and
Wales-more girls smoked than boys in 1998, with the exception of Hungary.

daughter team of Larry and Meagan Johnson - has figured out that on some American job sites, five
generations are working side by side.
In their new book about generations in the workplace the pair argue that while such an age difference
adds a lot of texture and a variety of life experiences, it can also bring tensions and conflicts.
The Johnsons are human-resource trainers and pubic speakers. Dad Larry is a former health-care
executive; daughter Meagan is a onetime high-level sales manager.

They call the oldest group Traditionals, born before 1945. They were heavily influenced by the
lessons of the Great Depression and World War. They respect authority, set a high standard of
workmanship, and communicate easily and confidently. But they’re also stubbornly independent. They
want their opinions heard.
At the other extreme are what the Johnsons call Linksters, born after 1995 into today"s more
complicated, multimedia world. They live and breathe technology and are often social activists.
You won"t find many l5-year olds in the offices of large companies, except as volunteers, of course,
but quite old and quite young workers do come together in sales environments like bike shops and ice
cream stores.
The Johnsons, Larry and Meagan, represent a generation gap themselves in their work with jobsite
issues. The Johnsons" point is that as the average lifespan continues to rise and retirement dates get
delayed because of the tight economy, people of different generations are working side by side, more
often bringing with them very different ideas about company loyalty and work values.
The five generations are heavily influenced by quite different events, social trends, and the cultural
phenomena of their times. Their experiences shape their behavior and make it difficult, sometimes, for
managers to achieve a strong and efficient workplace.
Larry and Meagan Johnson discuss all this in greater detail in a new book, "Generations, Inc. : From
Boomers to Linksters - Managing the Friction Between Generations at Work, "published by Amacom
Press, which is available in all good bookstores from this Friday.

bill last month really grabbed my attention. My son had come up to nearly 2,000 incoming text
messages, and had sent nearly as many. Of course, he was out of school for the summer and
communicating more with friends from a distance. Nevertheless, he found time to hold down a
summer job and complete a college course in between all that typing with his thumb.
I was even more surprised to learn that my son is normal. Teenagers with cellphones each
send and receive 2,272 text messages a month on average, Nielsen Mobile says.
Some experts regret that all that keyboard jabber is making our kids stupid, unable to read
nonverbal cues such as facial expressions, gestures, posture and other silent signals of mood
and attitude. Unlike phones, text messaging doesn"t even allow transmission of tone of voice or
pauses, says Mark Bauerlein author of a book called The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital
Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes (危害) Our Future.
Beyond that, though, I"m not sure I see as much harm as critics of this trend. I"ve posted before
on how I initially tried to control my kids" texting. But over time, I have seen my son suffer no
apparent ill effects, and he gains a big benefit, of easy, continuing contact with others.
I don"t think texting make kids stupid. It may make them annoying, when they try to text and
talk to you at the same time. And it may make them distracted, when buzzing text messages
interrupt efforts to noodle out a math problem or finish reading for school.
But I don"t see texting harming teens" ability to communicate. My son is as accustomed to
nonverbal cues as any older members of our family. I have found him more engaged and easier
to communicate with from a great distance, because he is constantly available via text message
and responds with faithfulness and speed.

visited. Or perhaps someone will casually glance through your credit card purchases or cell phone
bills to find out your shopping preferences or calling habits.
In fact, it"s likely some of these things have already happened to you. Who would watch you
without your permission? It might be a girlfriend, a marketing company, a boss, a policeman or a
criminal. Whoever it is, they will see you in a way you never intended to be seen-the 21st century
equal to being caught naked(裸露的).
Psychologists tell us boundaries are healthy, though it"s important to reveal(透露) yourself to
friends, family and lovers in stages, at appropriate times. Actually few boundaries remain.
The digital breadcrumbs(面包屑) you leave everywhere make it easy for strangers to reconstruct
who you are, where you are and what you like. In some cases, a simple Google search can reveal
what you think, like it or not, increasingly we live_in_a world where you simply cannot keep a secret.
The key question is:Does that matter? For many Americans, the answer apparently is "no".
When opinion polls ask Americans about privacy, most say they are concerned about losing it.
A survey found a majority of people are pessimistic about privacy, with 60 percent of respondents
saying they feel their privacy is "slipping away, and that bothers me".
But people say one thing and do another. Only a small part of Americans change any behaviors
in an effort to preserve their privacy. Few people turn down a discount at tollbooths(收费亭) to avoid
using the EZPass system that can track(跟踪) automobile movements. And few turn down supermarket
loyalty cards. Privacy economist Alessandro Acquits has run a series of tests that reveal people will
submit personal information like Social Security numbers just to get their hands on a pitiful 50centsoff
coupon(优惠券).
But privacy does matter-at least sometimes. It"s like health; when you have it, you don"t notice it.
Only when it"s gone do you wish you"d done more to protect it.

heated discussions in the media, but also has caught the attention of the central government in Beijing.
On December 26, a spokesman of the Ministry of Health stressed that the ministry was firmly against
doctors" moonlighting, while strict regulations should be applied to doctors taking parttime jobs, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
Last year, the Ministry of Health sent out a notice to a variety of health organizations to speed up the
reform of their personnel systems. According to the notice, medical organizations can hire medical experts as parttime doctors, but such activities should take place under the hospital"s management and regulations.
As for moonlighting-meaning that a doctor provides medical service without the permission of the
original hospital-such activities go against the Law on Practicing Doctors of the People"s Republic of
China, the Xinhua News Agency reported.
In China, doctors used to be controlled by hospitals and they could work for only one hospital.
However, as China"s medical personnel system reform developed, it has been recognized that medical
human resources, just like human resources in other areas, should be shared by the whole society. But on
the other hand, doctors" taking parttime jobs should follow the relative regulations applied in the medical
field.
First of all, they should follow relative government laws and regulations. They should also follow the
rules and regulations set by the medical organizations they work for. In addition, they should pay taxes for
their income from the parttime jobs. What matters most is that they should first finish their regular jobs as
required and be responsible for patients to ensure qualified and safe medical treatment.
B. Doctors pay fewer taxes for the money made by moonlighting than by taking parttime jobs.
C. Taking parttime jobs is permitted by hospitals while moonlighting is against the present regulations.
D. Doctors" parttime jobs, instead of moonlighting, are encouraged by health organizations
B. work for more than one hospital
C. work any time when they are free
D. be out of control of hospitals
B. regulations made by health organizations
C. the Law on Practicing Doctors of the People"s Republic of China
D. a magazine or a newspaper
B. moonlighting has been permitted by the Law on Practicing Doctors of the People"s Republic of China
C. taxes should be paid for the money doctors get from their parttime jobs
D. strict management policies have been adopted to direct the moonlighting
