Several relatives suggested having a family reunin sn if everyne wasn’t s busy. But my grandmther’s generatin was much busier, yet still fund time t gather.

Tday, we fcus n ur careers and raising ur kids. Our extended family isn’t the center it nce was. Besides, we keep in tuch n scial media. But what we really miss are the ptat salad, the mments f laughter and sudden bursts f excitement when we hug smene we haven’t seen fr ver 10 years.

Peple have many different ways t relax during break time at wrk r schl. Smartphnes are prbably the number ne chice fr a quick mental vacatin. Althugh it might seem like a gd time, the result is ppsite, accrding t a recent psychlgical study frm Rutgers University.
Fr the study, mre than 400 students were asked t finish a set f 20 wrd puzzles. Halfway thugh the task, the students were divided int three grups. One grup was allwed t take a break and use cellphnes t buy things nline. The secnd grup was asked t have a rest and buy things using a cmputer. The last grup didn't take any break at all.
Surprisingly, the grup that used their cellphnes during the break went back t wrk feeling the mst tired and least mtivated t cntinue. They als had the hardest time slving the remaining wrd puzzles.
Terri Kurtzberg, c-authr f the study, explained that they assumed lking at cellphnes during a break wuld be n different frm any ther break—but instead, the phne may cause increasing levels f distractin that make it difficult t return fcused attentin t wrk tasks.
“Cellphnes may have this effect because even just seeing yur phne activates thughts f checking messages, cnnecting with peple, and mre, in ways that are different than hw we use ther screens like cmputers, and laptps," Kurtzberg said.
This is eched by a recent study frm the US University f Chicag. It fund that even if cellphnes are turned ff r turned face dwn, their mere presence reduces a persn's cgnitive capacity.

10. What suggestin will the authr give in the fllwing paragraph?
A. Try putting yur smartphne away during yur next break.
B. Using cmputers t shp nline rather than cellphnes.
C. Stp checking messages and cnnecting with peple by cellphne.
D. Turning ff yur cellphne during wrk time.
11. What's the text mainly abut?
A. Ways t relax fr students.B. The result frm a wrd- puzzle game.

If yu’re hmeless and lking fr a temprary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit frm a rbtic plice dg that will scan yur eyes t make sure yu dn’t have a fever. That’s just ne f the ways public safety agencies are starting t use Spt, a new rbt that runs arund with quick mvement.

There are rughly 500 Spt rbts nw in the wild. Perry said they’re cmmnly used by cmpanies t check dangerus areas. Spt is als used t mnitr cnstructin sites, mines and factries, equipped with whatever sensr is needed fr the jb.
It’s still mstly cntrlled by humans, thugh all they have t d is tell it which directin t g and it can climb stairs r crss ver rugh areas. It can als perate autnmusly, but nly if it’s already memrized a rad and there aren’t t many surprise bstacles (障碍). “The first value that mst peple see in the rbt is taking a persn ut f a dangerus situatin,” Perry said.
12 What d plice fficials use Spt rbts d?
A. Find ut patients’ eye prblems.B. Treat patients’ fever.

Peple have many different ways t relax during break time at wrk r schl. Smartphnes are prbably the number ne chice fr a quick mental vacatin. Althugh it might seem like a gd time, the result is ppsite, accrding t a recent psychlgical study frm Rutgers University.
Fr the study, mre than 400 students were asked t finish a set f 20 wrd puzzles. Halfway thugh the task, the students were divided int three grups. One grup was allwed t take a break and use cellphnes t buy things nline. The secnd grup was asked t have a rest and buy things using a cmputer. The last grup didn't take any break at all.
Surprisingly, the grup that used their cellphnes during the break went back t wrk feeling the mst tired and least mtivated t cntinue. They als had the hardest time slving the remaining wrd puzzles.
Terri Kurtzberg, c-authr f the study, explained that they assumed lking at cellphnes during a break wuld be n different frm any ther break—but instead, the phne may cause increasing levels f distractin that make it difficult t return fcused attentin t wrk tasks.
“Cellphnes may have this effect because even just seeing yur phne activates thughts f checking messages, cnnecting with peple, and mre, in ways that are different than hw we use ther screens like cmputers, and laptps," Kurtzberg said.
This is eched by a recent study frm the US University f Chicag. It fund that even if cellphnes are turned ff r turned face dwn, their mere presence reduces a persn's cgnitive capacity.

B. Using cmputers t shp nline rather than cellphnes.
C. Stp checking messages and cnnecting with peple by cellphne.
D. Turning ff yur cellphne during wrk time.
11. What's the text mainly abut?

If yu’re hmeless and lking fr a temprary shelter in Hawaii’s capital, expect a visit frm a rbtic plice dg that will scan yur eyes t make sure yu dn’t have a fever. That’s just ne f the ways public safety agencies are starting t use Spt, a new rbt that runs arund with quick mvement.

It’s still mstly cntrlled by humans, thugh all they have t d is tell it which directin t g and it can climb stairs r crss ver rugh areas. It can als perate autnmusly, but nly if it’s already memrized a rad and there aren’t t many surprise bstacles (障碍). “The first value that mst peple see in the rbt is taking a persn ut f a dangerus situatin,” Perry said.
12 What d plice fficials use Spt rbts d?
