Q: To many students, joining social media "circles" is now more important than making new friends in real life. And it's easy. If you have a cell phone, you can download apps such as Sina Weibo, WeChat and QQ. "I love to check my friends' updates . I also enjoy news and humor shared on social media," Said Ou Wei, 14, from Hongling Middle School in Shenzhen. Because of enjoying these, Ou _ himself from real life. "I love playing the plane-shooting game on WeChat, but have no interest in playing flying chess with my classmates," said Ou. Deng Yunyun, 14, from Jianfeng Middle School in Shanghai, said that social media had influenced their life. Recently his school held a basketball match, and a student hurt his leg. Instead of giving him some help, students were busy with updating micro blogs about the accident. "I think they need to learn to balance their real and online lives," said Deng, What makes parents and teachers worried is safety. "Many students are happy to tell their interests and personal information to their social media "friends". Such information could bring them danger," said Han Songjun, a teacher at Hongling Middle School. For example, WeChat's shake-shake function allows users to connect to other users close by. But the police warn about the danger of socializing in this way. "Be careful. Do not use the locating function in any app, do not give your name, and do not post the photos of your residential area ," said the police.

Q: People think of ice cream as an American food. Yet, ice cream really came from Asia. In the late 1200s Marco Polo, the great explorer, is said to have seen rich Asians eating dishes of ice. Camels had brought the ice from distant mountains. Before it was served, the ice had been flavored with fruits. Marco Polo brought this new dish to Italy, In France cooks changed the ice recipe and made ice cream. At first, cooks tried to keep the recipe a secret. They wanted it to be a special dish for rich people. By the late 1700s, though, ice cream was sold throughout Europe and America. Some great Americans loved ice cream. George Washington was the first to buy a special machine for making it. When Thomas Jefferson returned from France, he brought an ice cream recipe home with him. Dolly Madison, wife of President James Madison, also liked ice cream, and she often served it at the White House. Actually, a famous brand of ice cream was even named after her. In the late 1800s, the ice cream industry began to grow. A way of keeping ice cream frozen had been found, so ice cream makers did not have to worry about ice cream melting anymore.

Q: NEW YORK (CNN) -- Lillo Brancato Jr., an actor who appeared in "The Sopranos," was acquitted of the 2005 killing an off-duty New York City police officer but found guilty of attempted burglary.

Lillo Brancato Jr. appeared on "The Sopranos" and played alongside Robert De Niro in "A Bronx Tale."

Brancato, 32, was also acquitted of two counts of burglary, but could face three to 15 years in prison on the attempted burglary charge. He has already served three years, according to his attorney, Joseph Tacopina.

Police officer Daniel Enchautegui, 28, was killed trying to break up a burglary attempt at his neighbor's house in the Bronx in December 2005.

During the trial, Brancato said there was not a break-in. Brancato said he knew the owner of the home, and that he and friend Steven Armento, 51, were drinking at a strip club when they decided to go hunt for valium.

Brancato told the jury that the owner, a Vietnam veteran, gave him permission to come to his house and take painkillers or other pills whenever he wanted.

Brancato admitted to breaking a window at the home, but said it was strictly because he was going through intense heroin withdrawal that night and he said he was trying to wake up his friend to get the drugs.

When Brancato and Armento entered the home, the next door neighbor -- Enchautegui -- came outside to investigate.

That's when prosecutors said Armento shot the officer through the heart with his .357 Magnum.

Armento was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole in November. The jury in that trial took less than six hours to convict Armento.
