Now, thanks to a beginner-friendly programming (程序设计) tool, kids can do more than just play games on their smartphones -they can make their own games.Samuel Ndungi, a US high school student, spent a few months learning how to make apps (应用软件) for smartphones.“I was so surprised that you could do this on your own,” Ndungi said. “I thought only people from Microsoft and big companies could do this.”Ndungi took a class given by his teacher, Michael Braun. In Braun's class, kids learned how to program their own mobile apps.This tool is called TouchDevelop. It puts basic instructions into blocks of code(代码), and kids can put them together like Legos to run games, stories and other apps.Wi th TouchDevelop, student Tony Huynh learned how to make his own games. “You get to put your own thoughts into the game, the animals you want and the kinds of backgrounds you would like to see,” he said.Another student Shina Williams wrote a program with about 80 lines of code that paints a picture of her childhood teddy bear. “It's your own creativity (创造), your own mark of something that's put in there and it stays in there,” she said.Coding (编码) is more than just a job skill.

The magazine asked people the following question: If you had all the money you wanted, what would you like to do? About 500 people answered the survey question.Almost half (49%) of the people in the survey said they would buy material (物质的) things such as a bigger house or a better car. One fifth (20%) of the people said they would travel to interesting or famous places. 17% answered that they would give money to someone else. They would donate money to a charity or to those poor families. More than half of the rest of the people (about 10%) said they would give money to help medical research. All the other people in the survey said they would save money in the bank. They said they didn’t k now what they would like to do right now, but perhaps in a few years they would find a good use for the money.“Lots of people think that if they buy better things, they will feel happier,” said Dr. Wilson, a sociologist at City University. “However,” she said, “this feeling will not last long. After a while, they won’t be satisfied with them any longer.” Dr. Wilson thinks the happiest people are those who want to make a change in people’s lives that will last into the future. She thinks those people whogive money to someone else or to medical research are thinking beyond themselves and their own needs at the moment. If they had all the money they wanted, they would make a difference in the world.33.
