A man stopped his car at the door of a flower shop. He planned to order flowers and asked the shopkeeper to deliver (递送) them to his mother, who was far away in the man’s hometown.
The man saw a little girl crying on the road when he was about to enter the shop. The man asked her: “Why are you crying?”
“I want to buy a rose for my mother, but I haven’t got enough money,” said the girl.
The man took the girl’s hand and entered the flower shop. He first ordered the bouquet (花束) for his mother and bought a rose for the girl.
Walking out of the shop, the man asked the girl if she would like a ride home.
“Will you really drive me home?” she asked.
“Of course,” the man replied.
“Then drive me to my mother. But the place where my mother lives is very far.”
The man drove along the mountain road and finally came to the cemetery (墓地).
The little girl put the flower onto a new grave. In order to present a rose to her mother who had passed away a month before, she had gone on a very long journey.

Being able to multitask—doing several things at the same time-is considered a welcome skill by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts as they multitask.
Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect on young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When they were asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many young people gave a positive response. However, the response from the worlds of education and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary for them to learn special skills to do their work.

A. Young people think multitasking is good for their study and work.
