　　Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution(革命)in office work over the last ten years．Before that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment．With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are able to do the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller companies can use them．

　　The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors(文字處理軟件), or WPS as they are often called．40％ of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast．

　　There are many advantages in using a word processor for both secretary and manager．The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers．He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss．From a manager’s point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be saved by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours．

　　But is it all good?If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed．Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units(顯示器)．The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly．It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed．Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to buy them．

　　Whatever the arguments for and against word processor, they are a key feature(特征)of this revolution in office practice．

　　Iceland has the highest birth rate in Europe, the highest divorce rate, and the highest percentage of women working outside the home．Such statistics are often evidence of an unhappy, troublesome society, with loads of children, broken homes and absent mothers．But Iceland is the exception－its citizens are apparently the happiest in the world．New rankings from the United Nations rate Iceland as the best country in the world in which to live．

　　Perhaps the country's geographic location contributes to Icelanders' happiness．Located in the middle of the North Atlantic, with Greenland as its nearest neighbor, Iceland is free from the taboos that cause so much suffering elsewhere．For instance, people who divorce are not looked down upon by the society．

　　Icelanders' ancestors are the Vikings, a north European people who invaded European coasts from the beginning of the 8th through the 10th century．This tradition of getting out into the world lives on in modern-day Iceland．Practically all Icelanders have studied or worked in other countries, and most speak English．Perhaps as a result, Iceland's economic policies combine the best of those from Europe and the US to create its own welfare system．

　　Indeed, the country is rich in writers, painters, film makers and accomplished musicians．There's Sigur Ros, a post-rock band that plays to the highest standards all over the world．Half the population appears to have written a book．

　　“Iceland has terrible nature, with its bitter ever-changing weather,” said Haraldur Jonsson, a painter, video and performance artist．“We cannot escape it．So we find ways to live with it．We have to have a rich life to fill the empty spaces．”

　　In a fast changing world, people seldom see a device or equipment that lasts for a long time these days．There are always new inventions, different models, or upgrades cropping up one after the other and as consumers people highly anticipate the faster and better kind than what they already have．Therefore it is quite a surprise that a mini projector(投影儀)is still in use today not only in small scale businesses, schools, or homes but in big corporations and institutions as well．Sure it has a few additional features here and there but the main function is the same．

　　A mini projector today has been fitted with top of the line parts and high quality materials to ensure its efficiency and performance can meet the demands of whoever it is for．It is so designed that it can be used indoors or outdoors with the same functions．The mini projector, as the name suggests, is handy and compact and can easily be brought anywhere by just one person．It can support a broader scope of signals now; USB and card readers are now installed to cope with the pieces of equipments that people use today to store data．

　　It can be used at home where it can provide as a form of entertainment or start a conversation during family bonding times．The owner can easily use the mini projector to share with other members the photos and videos of one particular vacation, or just to play a series of beautiful landscapes．

　　Offices also benefit from a mini projector especially during an important meeting or presentation．With at par resolution(標準的分辨率), employees can easily decipher(辨認)the text or data with the use of a mini projector, its bright LED light is sufficient enough to provide a bright and clear image without distortion(變形)．Users can now bring this anywhere with them and can be especially useful on a location where the voltage(電壓)is unknown．

　　Perhaps one of the more common places where a mini projector is used constantly is in schools．Teachers or professors use this as an aid to a lesson or discussion to provide better visual aids than usual and to even deliver their lecture with the use of a mini projector and minimize the use of a board and writing pen．It is often said that children have a very short attention span but they remember things more when things are presented to them visually．This is the perfect use of a mini projector in classrooms where kids easily forget their lesson for the day．Teachers use this to show the class pictures or illustrations that tie with the topics for students to remember．

Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessary so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here is how.　　

1). Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you can have to do. After making the list, you should make a schedule of your time. First time for eating, sleeping, dressing, etc. Then decide a good, regular time for studying. Don’t forget to set aside enough time fro entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.　　

2). Find a good place to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room. Free from everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television. When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject. 　　

3). Make good use of your time in class. Take advantage of class time to listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what your teachers say.　　

4). Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the important points that your teachers mentioned in class. If you want to know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read the material in advance. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.　　

5). Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be overly worried.　

There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.

New research says 35 percent of child deaths worldwide are caused by hunger. The research comes from poor to middle-income countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.

Robert Black from the Bloomberg School of Public Health at Johns Hopkins University in Maryland is the lead writer of the research. He says more than 3.5 million mothers and children under five die in poor countries each year because of hunger.

He says about two million children die from underdevelopment, either before or after birth. Millions of others who survive face a lifetime of disabilities or early death and the effects are not just physical. Poor mental development also results from hunger as children grow. Then the

cycle of poverty and hunger often continues for their children.

Doctor Black says hungry children can have conditions like high blood pressure and heart disease as a result of hunger. He says the studies show that food programs need to place the greatest importance on the first two years of life. Hungry children can suffer their whole life damage from age two.

It is high time their diets were improved. Diets should include foods rich in vitamin A and other vitamins and minerals. The researchers say early help such as this could reduce child deaths by 25%.

This research has also faced some criticism. A medical aid group says the researchers underestimate(低估) the number of child deaths due to hunger. The researchers say there are findings that support this treatment but more studies are needed to compare it to hospital care.
