In today’s Internet age, online games can be a change from the pressure of school and work. However, they can also cause problems and unhealthy addictions. This is most clearly seen in the example of South Korea. This country has the world’s highest perce ntage of high – speed Internet services.

TEHERAN: Iran yesterday ignored growing international pressure to free 15 British sailors and marines, saying London should change its attitude over the nine-day standoff.

Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki was quoted as saying on state television yesterday: “Iran is waiting for a change in Britain’s attitude and a balanced stance(姿态) over our legal demands for apol ogy.”

Britain softened its attitude against Iran as its Foreign Secretary Margaret Beckett expressed regret over the situation on Saturday. She urged Iran to solve the case peacefully, saying Britain was open to dialogue. “We continue to express our willin gness to have dialogues and discussions with Iran,” she said at a meeting of European Union foreign ministers in Bremen, Germany.

Iran seized the 15 British sailors and marines from what it said was “Iranian territory”, while Britain claims they were in “Iraqi waters”.

In his first public comment on the crisis, US President George W. Bush said on Saturday that the 15 Britons’ being caught by Iran was “inexcusable”. Calling for their immediate, unconditional free, Bush said: “Iran must give back the hostages(人质).” “They’re innocent. They did nothing wrong.”
