education in an interactiveenvironment where they can work and socialize with their classmates.句中exposed to digital gadgets since their birth是一个过去分词短语充当原因状语，exnosed与句子主语modemn

also included Switzerland,Iceland,Norway,Finland,Canada,Netherlands,New Zealand,Australia and Sweden.[3]Greece had the largest drop in the survey.Researchers blamed the drop on the debt crisis and high unemployment in the country.In 2014,the Pew ResearchCenter compiled a life satisfaction poll.In that survey,a top conclusion was that richer countries were happier thanpoor countries.The Pew research said Asians and Africans are the most optimistic people about their futures.Money was a big factor driving happiness,but it was not the most important according to the Pew organization.The
