Children Can’t Stop Talking Two Spanish children are getting treatment for addiction to mobile phones. The children, ages 12 and 13, went to a special center for problems of addiction. Their parents said they could not live without using their phones all the time. These are the first cases like this in the country. The children were spending about six hours a day talking, sending text messages, or playing video games on their phones. Dr. Maite Utgès. Director of the center, said it was the first time they had treated children for addiction to mobile phones. She said that both children weren’t getting along with other children and were failing at school. The children are now learning to live without their phones. Utgès said they might need at least a year of treatment to get them off the mobile phone “drug.” Before they started treatment, both children had their own phones for 18 months. Their parents did not limit the time their children spent on the phones. The children paid for their phones by getting money from a grandmother and other family members. They didn’t explain what the y were doing with the money. Governments in other countries are also concerned about the way children use mobile phones. The Japanese government asked parents to limit the time children could use their phones. In Britain, doctors have reported several cases of children with problems because of mobile phones. In these cases, the young people became very unhappy when they didn’t receive enough phone calls. A study in Spain found that 65 percent of children between ages 10 and 15 in Spain had a mobile phone in 2007.

The Common Cold Around the world, mothers tell their children, "Dress warmly or you'll catch a cold." This is a common belief. But is it true? Can cold weather cause a cold? The answer is basically no. Colds are caused by viruses. A cold always comes-directly or indirectly-from another person with the virus. However, there is a connection with the weather. In fact, you are more likely to catch a cold in winter. One reason is that windows are closed, which makes it easier for the cold virus to spread from one person to another. Another reason is that the body prefers to stay warm. If you get cold-particularly your feet- your body can't fight viruses as well, and you are more likely to get sick. There is no sure way to prevent a cold, but you can reduce the number of cols you catch. The most important thing is to wash your hands often. Wash them before you eat. Wash them every time you come home from school or from work. And when your hands aren't clean, don't touch your mouth, nose, or eyes. If you do catch a cold, you should be careful not to spread it. Try not to sneeze or cough onto other people, into the air, or into your hands. If you have the virus on your hands, you will leave it on everything you touch. Instead, you should sneeze or cough into a tissue that you throw away.

Thanks for your attention
