先有鸡,后有蛋!
South Korea is going through the growing pains of becoming the world's first fully fledged information society.

South Korea is going through the growing pains of becoming the world's first fully fledged information society. Authorities are reluctant to stifle the county's thriving online culture which is hugely profitable, but the government must reconcile its support for it with the emergence of an older generation of web addicts. While the number of teenage addicts has fallen from more than 1 million to 938,000 in the past two years, the number of addicts in their 20s and 30s has risen to 975,000.

Vanished scientist reemerges 伊失踪科学家在美现身
On Tuesday, Iranian nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri, who went missing more than a year ago during a pilgrimage, appeared at the Pakistani embassy in Washington D.C. Iran has repeatedly accused the CIA of abducting Amiri. Amiri said he had been kidnapped, but the United States said he wasn't held against his will. 周二,伊朗科学家沙赫拉姆•阿米里出现在位于华盛顿的巴基斯坦驻美使馆里。他于一年多以前在朝圣途中失踪。伊朗曾多次指责中央情报局绑架了阿米里。阿米里自己也表示他被绑架,但是美国否认对其强制扣留。
What happened to Amiri and how he came to be in the United States remains unclear. The mystery surrounding Amiri, who worked for Iran's Atomic Energy Organization, fueled speculation that he may have information about Iran's nuclear program sought by U.S. intelligence. 至于在阿米里身上发生了什么,他如何出现在美国,还不得而知。这些谜团让人们猜测美情报机构可能想套取阿米里掌握的有关伊核计划的信息。阿米里此前曾为伊朗原子能组织工作。

Why women change their hairstyle? 女人一生发型百变
A woman will change her hairstyle more than 100 times during her lifetime, according to a new study, the Daily Express reported. The most common reason for a change of hairstyle is because women "just want a change," but a third do it to boost their morale after a relationship break-up or divorce. Nearly one in five does it to hide grey hairs. Others want a change that makes them feel better before or after having a baby or for their wedding or birthday.

英国《每日快报》报道,据一项最新调查发现,女人一生要改变发型100次以上。换发型最常见的原因是女人“只想做个改变”,但是三分之一的人是为了在分手或者离婚后重新振作起来,大约五分之一的人是为了遮盖白头发,其他则是为了在生孩子前后,婚礼或者生日的时候做个改变让自己感觉更好。
