A test of wills!The night before

I woke up sweating and nervous, but ready to prove something to myself.Shortly after crossing the start line, my shoe laces(鞋带) became untied. So I stopped to readjust. Not the start I wanted!At mile 3, I passed a sign: “GO FOR IT, RUN
14、NERS!”By mile 17, I became out of breath and the once injured ankle hurt badly. Despite the pain, I stayed the course walking a bit and then running again.By mile 21, I was starving!As I approached mile 23, I could see my wife waving a sign. She is my biggest fan.

This realization has given many parents the motivation to educate themselves about social networking sites.These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; theres also a certain
21、 amount of control over privacy that we dont get in real life.

During the other half no one was allowed to use any technology.The researchers found that the average daily quiz results showed no evidence of harmful effects from the use of technology.
