Ways to Help Your Community Stay Quiet

Noise pollution isn’t just annoying. It can also cause psychological problems. If you want to cut back on the noise pollution in your life, taking some measures together with your community will help you and your family feel happier and healthier.

Use your car horn (喇叭) only when necessary, as a way to let someone know you are around the corner.

The terrible sound of a car’s engine is never welcome, so make sure you are not the one causing noise pollution in your community and spring to get your car repaired. Keeping your car in good, quiet working order will be appreciated by everyone who lives near you.

Keep your music down.

It might sound beautiful to you, but respect the fact that others might not feel the same way. Don’t just assume that your neighbours want to hear your favourite opera as much as you do.

Communities with more trees are quieter than those without them, since large, leafy trees can help absorb noise, so such a project is always worth your effort.

8 . This fall, Apple will roll out its newest update. It will offer parents greater control over content their kid views. Additionally, it will track the amount of time they spend using an iOS device. Following Google’s lead to deal with smart phone addiction (上瘾), new tools will include increased monitoring, usage time and activity reports.

Currently, Apple’s parental controls only allow for limiting usage of adult apps, music and video. There is growing public concern over unlimited exposure to social media for young people. Smartphone addiction combined with increased rates of distraction, suicide, and depression in teens led Apple to respond. It has developed better tools for monitoring content and control over iOS device usage for parents. For moms and dads looking to more effectively manage how their teen accesses   iOS devices, the Screen Time, App Limits, and Down Time features will be of particular help.

Screen Time will generate daily and weekly reports detailing how many times users pick up their devices, the categories of apps and websites they use most often and the amount of time they spend interacting with each app.

According to public statements, Apple intends these reports to help users get a greater understanding of how they use their devices. They’re also intended to assist in making personal decisions about controls they’d like to have. This is especially helpful to parents who aren’t privy(准许知情) to specific apps and websites their kid is using or how long they use them each day. The new App Limits feature allows parents to set limits on time spent on websites, apps or a category of apps.

Also, parents will be able to set time periods for their child’s phone to be powered off. Down Time can be scheduled on devices. Parents can specify which apps can and can’t be used and when. If parents want to limit access to an entire category of apps, such as social media or gaming, during specified time periods for things like homework, diner, or bedtime, they can.

The new parental controls are account-based. Parents can access Screen Time to view reports and set limits on their teen’s device remotely (远程地) via devices connected through Family Sharing or directly from their teen’s device.

Totals for settings, usage reports, and limits set are based on usage across all of a users IOS devices. Thus, if a kid uses multiple iOS devices, he or she will reach a time limit on an app on their iPhone. The app will be inaccessible on their iPad as well. A screen notification will appear when a child is about to reach a time limit. The child can request more time from a parent.

This update is good news for those who wish to have better insight into teen smartphone usage. Parents, however, should keep communicating rules and guidelines for healthy tech habits.

If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.

When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.

If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us may think that his parents are to blame. Few of us know that it is just his own fault. Have you ever found that some people can't read or write, but they usually have better memories? This is because they can't read or write and they can’t write things down in a small notebook. They have to remember days, names, songs and stories. In this way their memory is the whole time being exercised. So if you want to have a good memory, practice remembering things in a way as other people do.
