Social Matters

Text A
1.

Every five minutes my children ask me for the
“
latest thing
”
．
They tell me that all their
friends have it already and they can
’
t live without it
．
Our house is full of Games Boys, Play
Station CDs and a million other
“
latest things
”
．

2.

But, the one
“
latest thing
”

we have refused to buy is a mobile phone
．
Our twelve-year- old
son wants one, and we
’
ve said
“
no
”
．
He says he
’
ll only use it for texting and he really needs
it for emergencies
．

3.

We
don
’
t
want
him
to
have
a
mobile
phone,
because
it
may
be
bad
for
children
’
s
health
．
Unfortunately,
when
I
say,
“

As
your
father,
I
don't
want
you
to
have
a
mobile
phone, because you might get a brain tumour(
肿瘤
),
”

he tells me that he doesn
’
t mind
．

4.

Why do twelve-year-old boys only want things that are bad for them? We
’
ve already told
him that he can
’
t listen to rap music
－
the words are disgusting(
使人反感的
)
．
And I
’
ve said
no to beer with his meals
．
Right now, I
’
m saying no to everything
．

5.

Then
a few weeks
ago
he
asked
for
something
called
a
BB
gun
．
He
says
everybody
’
s
got
one
．
Of course they have
．
He shows me a website full of them and tells me it only fires
plastic pellets(
小子弹
)
．
Finally, I say yes
．
I can
’
t believe I
’
ve said no to phones and yes to
guns
．

6.

In
October,
our
son
becomes
a
teenager,
and
I
pray
that
research
will
find
that
mobile
phones
are
safe
…
even
better,
that
young
people
may
become
less
moody
－
and
more
interested in personal hygiene(
卫生
)
．

7.

Until then, I
’
m saying no
．

more than good intentions to make things happen.
The
training
they
received
is
something
I
could
have
used
in
college
when
I
worked
one
summer in the cafeteria of a large corporation. Every day I’d make 10
pounds each of tuna
salad, egg salad, and chicken salad. During the lunch rush, I made sandwiches to order.
B
ut many diners didn’t have time to wait in line, so each morning I prepared 50 sandwiches
ahead of time. At the end of the day, all of the leftovers were thrown away. Sometimes, if
the crowds had been thin, we’d toss 35 sandwiches that were still fresh.

Then
a
new
cashier
had
in idea:
she
would
take
some of
the
sandwiches
home
with
her,
because she lived near a homeless shelter. On the bus ride home, she began handing out
some of our leftovers, to the delight of the recipients.
A
week
later,
she
was
called
into
the
supervisor’s
office.
The
donations
had
to
stop,
he
explained, because if someone got sick, the company could be sued. He understood that lots
of food was being wasted, but charity could be costly.
For
the
rest
of
the
summer,
the
cashier
and
I
grumbled
about
the
situation
to
our
co-workers.
If we had known more about effective advocacy, like the young in today’s society, we’d have
realized that change happens only when you talk to the right people and you are persistent.
Perhaps, if we hadn’t given up, the outcome could have been different. These days, some
restaurants do donate food to shelters, because committed activists knew there had to be a
better way.
