5、atting. Yes, chatting. It is something that is becoming more acceptable in our lives, but it is still looked down upon by many skeptics.

12、se. On June 14, 1998, ABC news reported that an “Internet crazed“ Cincinnati woman was arrested for neglecting her three young children. The woman reportedly spent 12 hours straight online, while her hungry kids were locked away in a room so she could be online without interruption. The Internet is
13、rapidly becoming an addictive source to a lot of its users. Users of the Internet include: students, housewives, and business professionals.

14、ives, and even their careers. Based on level of addiction, there are three groups of Internet addicts: -the “Im-not-addicted-users“; -the “I-only-use-it-when-I-have-to-users“; -the “Internet Junkies“.

College students are not the only people who fit in this category though. In general, these users are
16、 addicts but portray themselves otherwise in the presence of people. The “I-only-use-it-when-I-have-to-users“, are those who make convenient excuses to go online. And finally, the “Internet Junkies“ are unlike the addicts in the previous two groups, these users neither sneak online nor make excuses
17、to get online. They put their lives on hold while engrossed with their computer usage. People who seem addicted to the Internet often show signs of psychiatric disorders such as, manic-depression. Psychiatrist Nathan Shapira of the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, studied 14 people who
18、had spent so much time online, that they were facing problems at home, job loss, and flunking out of school.

19、sorders; four had uncontrollable burst of anger; and eight had abused alcohol or drugs at some time in their life.

20、oking, drinking, or any other habitual behavior. The addiction can attack anyone of any age. Todays youth live with the Internet as a daily part of their lives.

When used in
45、 criminal investigations, a DNA fingerprint pattern from a suspect is compared with a DNA fingerprint pattern obtained from such material as hairs or blood found at the scene of a crime.

46、 from a report published in December 1991 by population geneticists Richard C. Lewontin of Harvard University in Cambridge, Mass, and Daniel L. Hartl of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo. Lewontin and Hartl called into question the methods to calculate how likely it is that a
47、 match between two DNA fingerprints might occur by chance alone. In particular, they argued that the current method can not properly determine the likelihood that two DNA sample will match because they came from the same individual rather than simply from two different individuals who are members of the
