And what a difference an iPad can make in so many fields, especially the sciences and mathematics.</p> <p>My high school in Connecticut issued laptops to every student. (It was a magnet school with a focus on technology and international studies.) Each grade, 6 through 12, had a different model, which was replaced every few years. That means different power cords, batteries, and spare parts. This is not something to complain about. I’m grateful I had this much access to technology growing up, and I’m ecstatic that my one-day children will be immersed even more. From 1999 – 2006, I went through four laptops. You know how many textbooks — McGraw Hill or otherwise — I was able to access on them? None. <em>That</em> is something to complain about.</p> <p>We should hardly be surprised that a textbook company is trying to temper Apple’s influence with this kind of drama. Many phone companies have lost some control of their domain to Apple.

现代都市生活，似乎让男人承受的压力越来越大。从男人腰间的皮带上，就能体会到其忙碌的状态。他们总是挂着或别着手机、钥匙包，甚至打火机，这很容易使人联想到古人腰带上携挂着的弓、剑、砾石、算盘等。挂弓、剑等在古代是高地位的象征，也必然会受到别人的羡慕。可是在今天，如果一个男人再在腰上挂一大串东西的话，那么就显得没有品味没有内涵了。现实生活中，大多数男人也都会不以为然地在腰间挂一些东西，甚至还美其名曰是体现自己的身份，殊不知这样做，在别人眼里，尤其是在一些有品位有见识的女性眼里，这些举止看起来是多么俗气和没有档次。</p> <p> 一个成熟的男人是不会让自己的腰间挂满着细小东西的。他们会在腰间系上一条高雅的腰带，简单而干练，还能在一定程度上代表男人的身份、品味和个性。</p> <p> 男人该如何选择适合自己又彰显品位的皮带呢？<br/> 1.在皮带的选择上请千万保持低调。黑色、咖色或棕色的皮带配以钢质、金质或银质的皮带扣，既适合各种衣物和场合，又可以很好地表现职业男士的气质。不要轻易使用式样新奇的和配以巨大皮带扣的皮带。</p> <p> 2.要考虑皮带的装饰性，不要挂过多的物品。因为简洁、干练是男人的特征。</p> <p> 3.皮带的长度应介于第一和第二的裤扣之间，宽度应保持在3厘米。如果皮带太窄，会失去男性的阳刚之气；如果皮带太宽，则只适合于休闲、牛仔风格的装束。</p> <p> 总之，在时尚潮流中，一个注意风度形象的男人，总会在腰间这一细节上多花心思，而不是随意对待，让一些小饰物挡住皮带的光芒。</p> </div> <div class="reply"> <a
