31、ty.The average test score, out of 75 total possible answers, was 55 percent. The study identifies a few important problems. For example, only 30 percent knew that the only part of the U.

32、rld map.Part of the problem, argue the organizers of the survey, is the Internet.

Forty-three percent of those questioned said they read about the news
33、 on Facebook.Another problem is that most college courses do not require students to learn about international issues.

Dont these people realize that theyre wasting your time?Maybe Im the rude one for not appreciating lifes little politeness. But many
39、social agreed standards just dont make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you dont have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen
40、voice mail messages, none of which I listened to.
