If you finally compromised(妥协) and gave your kid an iPhone or iPad this Christmas,you may by now be wondering if they will ever return to the real world away from that shiny new screen.A British smart mom has published a document that may secure you a full-on teenage eye roll,but it could also help young ones learn to be responsible.Amusingly it's not just a few core principles,but a 13-point contract(契约) for her 16-year-old son David to obey as the lucky recipient(接受者) of an iPhone.
Check this out---
Dear David,
Merry Christmas!You are now the proud owner of an iPhone.But with the acceptance of this present come rules and regulations.Please read through the following contract.Failure to observe the following list will result in the end of your iPhone ownership.
1.It is my phone.I bought it.I pay for it.I am lending it to you.Aren't I the greatest?
2.I will always know the password(密码).
3.If it rings,answer it.It is a phone.Say hello,use your manners.Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads"Mom"or"Dad".Not ever.
4.It does not go to school with you.But half days,field trips and after school activities will require special consideration.
5.If it falls into the toilet,breaks on the ground,orvanishesintothinair,you are responsible for the replacement(更换) costs or repairs.
6.Do not use this technology to lie,fool,or cheat.Do not make yourself take part in conversations that are hurtful to others.
7.Do not text,e-mail,or say anything through this device you would not say in person.
8.Surf the Internet for information you would openly share with me.If you have a question about anything,ask a person---preferably(更可取地) me or your father.
9.Turn it off,silence it,put it away in public,especially in a restaurant,at the movies,or while speaking with another human being.You are not a rude person; do not allow the iPhone to change that.
