About six years ago, I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table．I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation．At one point the woman asked, “ So, how have you been?” And the boy---who could not have been more than seven or eight years old replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately．”
This incident（小事） stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing．As far as I can remember, my friends and I hardly found out we were “ depressed” until we were in high school．
The evidence of changes in children has increased steadily in recent years．Children don’t seem childlike anymore．Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to．
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different．Childhood as it once was no longer exists．Why?
Human development is based not only on natural biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge．Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new situation．Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in gradual stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders．
In the past 30 years, however, a secret-revelation（提示） machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes．It is called television．Television passes information, and indiscriminately （不加区分地）, to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults．Unable to resist the temptation（诱惑）, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures．
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access．Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced．Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials．

Some 80 percent of graduate students in East China's Zhejiang province said in a survey they will give up trying to find jobs in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, first-tier cities in China that have been considered dream places for many, because of the untouchable home prices and high living costs．
The Yangtse Evening Post conducted the survey among 50 job seekers who were attending Sunday's job fair in Jiangsu for graduate students．The survey showed graduates are becoming more realistic in their job search despite the job market becoming better．
The fair attracted more than 10,000 graduate students with 7,382 positions．
"The pressure of buying a house in Beijing is unbelievable," said Wang Jian from Nanjing Normal University, who acknowledged he had thought about finding a job in Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou, but in the face of huge pressures, he has no choice but to be "realistic．"
People can have a very comfortable life in Nanjing with a monthly salary of between 3,000 yuan （$450） and 4,000 yuan, but in Shanghai, 5,000 yuan a month can only help you survive and buying a house will remain a dream,
A student from Nanjing University of Science and Technology said he just turned down an offer from a Shanghai company of 7,000 yuan a month because "living costs in Shanghai are too high．"
An unnamed male student from Nanjing University said he will try first-tier cities only if he can get a high salary．"I would go to Beijing only if I can earn 200,000 yuan a year," he said．
"Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou once had the advantages that other cities don't have, but the high housing prices and living costs make young people barely able to breathe," said Ren Leiming from the job service center of Jiangsu's colleges and universities．
"First-tier cities have plenty of talents that make it hard for people to be outstanding, and if you go work in smaller cities you can become a dominant player at your position much more easily," said Ren．
