She got out of bed and noticed a new dress on her desk, the same one she had been eyeing for weeks. And it didnt stop there. Mrs. N

20、elson picked her - yes, her! to take care of the class rabbit over the weekend. But the best part of the day was art class. Sarah hadnt spent much time on her project but it was still pretty.

If youre in school now, you may not remember a time before there were smartphones and tablets everywhere. The iPhone was introduced in 2007, and the

28、iPad came out a few years later, in 2010. But screen time is nothing new. When your parents were growing up, they watched as much television as you do now, or even now. They probably played video games, too. Mobile devices are different, though, because they can come with us everywhere we go: to the

29、 dinner table, to restaurants, into the car, into the bedroom when were going to sleep. They are programmed to constantly remind us to pick them up or keep using them.

31、reen time at night stops you from getting healthy sleep. Children who grow up with the most screen time (several hours a day) can have a hard time focusing and doing well in school.

39、ork was made into an exhibition( 展 览 ) at the Chicago City Museum and it can be seen at their website. In the website, you can read the self-introduction pages of the Council members.
