Teens don’t understand the big fuss(小题大做).As the first generation to grow up in a wired world,they hardly know a time when computers weren’t around,and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online,chatting with friends.So what?

But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated(孤寂),less skillful at person-to-person relationships,and perhaps numb(麻木) to the cheatings that are so much a part of the e-mail world.“And a teen’s sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless,”said Sherry Turkle.

Another researcher,Robert Kraut,said he’s worried about the “opportunity costs”(机会成本) of so much online time for youths.He found that teens who used computers,even just a few hours a week,showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation.“Chatting online may be better than watching television,but it’s worse than hanging out(闲逛) with real friends,”he said.

Today’s teens,however,don’t see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a central place in their social lives.“School is busy and full of pressure.There’s almost no time to just hang out,”said Parker Rice,17.“Talking online is just catch-up time.”

Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply.Some teens admit that asking someone for a date,or breaking up,can be easier in message form,though they don’t want to do so.But they insist there’s no harm.

One winter morning I bought a copy of the New York World and turned its pages until I got the “Help Wanted Unskilled” section．A small advertisement held my  36 .It read, “Easy job．Good wages．No experience  37 .” It sounded like the job I was  38  ．Easy job．Good wages．Those four words  39  now and then in my brain as I was traveling to the address indicated in the  40  ．Easy job．Good wages．Easy job．Good wages．Easy ...
When I got to the place I saw a series of large  41 half filled with water, out of which I noticed  42  the necks of many bottles of various sizes and shapes． 43 these basins there were a number of workers sitting on small wooden benches．All had their  44 in the water of the basin, the left hand holding a  45  and the thumb nail of the right hand scratching（刮;擦） the labels on   46 .
I sat down on a  47  beside one of the basins and started to work on one bottle．As the minutes went by I noticed that the  48  of the water started to  49  from my hand to my body．But  50   still, the delicate thumb of my right hand was  51  by the minute into a full­ blown tomato­ colored finger．A numb（麻木的）pain began to be felt  52  from my right thumb．Then I began to feel as if the pain was coming from a finger bigger than all my body.
After three hours of this I told the manager I’d  53  .He figured I had  54  69 cents at 23 cents an hour．With the money, I left the working place．“Easy job．Good wages.” came to my brain again．Looking at my hands, I  55   myself, “Can easy job get good wages？”
