The (3) ____ text does not annoy Brandon since he gets frequent (4) ____ and calls, even after bedtime. And he can’t imagine life without them. “If I didn’t have a cell phone, I wouldn’t be able to talk to my friends or family as often,” he told the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Brandon’s use of (5) ____ doesn’t stop there. He also has a computer, a TV and three video-game consoles(控制台)in his room.

Often, kids (12) ____, or use more than one device at a time. “If you’ve got a chance to do something on your (13) ____ and take a phone call and have the TV on at the same time, why not?” Media expert Cheryl Olson says. Most experts agree technology has much to (34) ____ kids. But some worry the kids could be (15) ____ other (16) ____ like playing outside or (17) ____ with friends. “It’s a matter of balance,” says Olson.
Multitasking while (18) ____ is another concern. Some kids listen to music, watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework. “It’s important to make sure that you should (19) ____ one thing deeply,” says Rideout.

         But many of her customers with alopecia and cancer couldn’t  30  that much, and their health insurance often didn’t  31  the cost.So Hill started giving the wigs away, eventually spending $10,000 of her own money.Last year, she and her friend Lita Warren  32  Pink Barrette, a non-profit organization that has  33   about 60 wigs to poor women.

         Hill pays  34   the donations with profits from her other products.  35   , she and her husband have also spent much of their savings keeping the organization running.
