Now, about half of American children have cellphones(手机). And that has many problems, like questions about etiquette and the phone fees(费用)—about ＄5 a month.
“The best thing parents can do is to educate, educate and educate,” Dr Milteer said, “They also need to make rules. One way is putting a basket out where children put their phones in at home. Then they can’t go into their rooms and call their friends,” she said, “If they need to use, they can use the house’s phone.”
Parents also complain to her about their children texting under their quilts at night. “Don’t worry,” Dr Milteer said, “Let them know there are rules. There comes a time when parents have to be parents.”
We hear that driving and texting are dangerous, but Dr Milteer said that it is dangerous for children to text when they are walking in the streets.

About 80 percent of American adults think music lessons improve children's learning ability or their school performance. They say that the satisfaction for learning to play a new song helps a child express creativity.
But the organizers of a new study say there's no scientific evidence that early musical training affects(影响) the intelligence of young people.
Samuel Morgan is a graduate student at Harvard's School of Education. He says it is wrong to think that learning to play a musical instrument improves a child's intellectual development. He says the evidence comes from studies that measured the mental ability of two groups of 4-year-olds.One group altitude music classes, the other went to a class that focuses on physical exercise(体育锻炼).
“We found kids participating in music classes showed no advantage(优势) on any of the tests.”said Morgan.
Morgan says music lessons may not offer children a fast easy way to gain entry to the best school later of their life. But he also says the training is still important for cultural reasons.”We teach music because music is important for us.”he says.

More than half of rich Americans have not shown their full wealth to their children, a new survey showed last Tuesday.
The survey, published by the Bank of America, studied the rich with $3 million or more in assets. It found that “surprisingly few of those surveyed have well-developed plans to preserve and pass on their assets to their children”.
The majority of the 457 people surveyed are self-made, first-generation rich. Fifty-two percent of parents have chosen not to tell their children just how wealthy they are, and 15 percent have given away nothing about the family wealth. One in three parents said they had never thought to do it.
They are worried that their children would become lazy, spend money freely, make bad decisions and even become a target for gold diggers. Only 34 percent strongly agreed that their children would be able to handle any inheritance（遗产）they plan to leave them.
“There is an expectation about the wealthy parents that they have a responsibility to pass down their fortune to the next generation,” said Sallie Krawcheck, president of the Bank of America Global Wealth and Investment Management. “Our research, however, uncovered changing views of what one generation owes to the next.”
The trend is led by the world's richest man Bill Gates, who promised in 2008 that he would leave his $58 billion fortune to the charity started by him and his wife, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, and not to his children.
“We want to give it back to society in the way that it will have the most positive impact,” he said.
Of his plans for his children Gates said: “I will give the kids some money but not a meaningful percentage...they will need to wok but they will feel reasonably taken care of.”
1.We can learn from the passage that ______.
A.rich parents may not know how to manage their inheritance
B.American children don't get to inherit their parents' wealth
C.rich parents don't necessarily equal rich kids, at least in the US
D.children don't expect themselves to be as rich as their parents
2.According to the survey, most rich Americans ______.
A.don't think that they owe their children anything
B.consider it best to give their money back to society
C.worry about the ability of their children to handle wealth
D.are strongly confident in their children s ability to handle wealth
3.The underlined word “they” in Paragraph 5 refers to ______.
A.rich parents B.the Bill Gates C.the first rich generation D.responsible children
