Did you ever bring your phone to school? It doesn't seem bad to take a quick look at a phone message or an email in class. But a new study has found this can make students get lower grades in exams.
In the study, researchers (研究者) studied 118 students. These students took the same couse. They also had the same teacher and used the same textbooks. They couldn't use their digital devices (数码设备)in half of their class. But they could use them in the ọther half. Researchers found that using digital devices made students get lower scores in the final exam. Students díd worse in what they learned on device days. What's more, when some students used digital devices in class, even those not using their phones or computers got worse grades. Researchers say there are maínly two reasons for the resuls.First,students hardly ask questions when they are using their phones or computers. They talk less with their classmates and teachers. Second, even if a student doesn't want to look at the screen, he just can't help it.So remember to turn off your phone in class. This is good not only for you, but also for the whole class.

These talent shows give everyone an opportunity to show of their talents. For some lucky people,these talent shows may make them famous, and can even make them rich. However, there are also many bad sides. First, some young people just imitate (模仿) their favorite stars. They may forget ahout tbeir own styles. Second, young people spend too much time on these TV shows. They always dream of being stars. So they spend less time on their studies.
In my opinion, young people can get social experience by taking part in these shows. But they should know that the chance of becoming famous is very small for most people. They should know what's more imporlant for them is their schoolwork. In short, you can do what you like, but you should know what is important and what is not.

People started to call Brooks Britain's best amateur (业余的) scientist after her work won the BBC's prize “To Be A Scientist”. She said, “I've always wanted to know whether the snails that eat my plants just come back when I move them, and if they do, h ow far is it from their home?” "I would say on the evidence (证据) that it would be safe to take your snails away 100 meters or even farther.
