We can’t remember clearly since when we started to take our mobiles to a dinner table. This happens a lot, especially when we eat out. Once a dish comes, instead of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or Wechat, waiting to be “l(fā)iked.” Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal, to see whether we get “l(fā)iked” or not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for simply a meal.

Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often? If not, how do you feel when others do that when having dinner with you?

A recent study suggests that what we are used to doing is not that good. Spending time taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were asked to take photos before they could enjoy food. It turned out that the more photos they took, . So, why not stop taking photos and just enjoy the food ahead of you?

Besides the scientific result, there are also some other bad influences of taking photos of food before meals. After posting the photos onto the Internet, one will be unable to control himself and check his mobile many times. “Does everyone accept my photo? I hope a lot of people like it!” It seems like your mobile secretly calls your name all the time, even when you are with real people.

So, next time you go out to have dinner with your family or friends, how about not taking photos of food? Let the food be delicious as it is and share your life with people around you. Trust me, it will be a wonderful time.

Many college students have given up taking class notes by hand. Instead, they type(打字) on computers. But scientists say that method is less helpful.

If you need to remember something, write it. Writing notes by hand is much better for long-term memory of idea. So, turn off your computer if you want to remember something.

Students who type notes on a keyboard often write down what the teacher says word-for-word. They may write without really thinking about what they are writing. These electronic notes contained(容納) more words. But scientists say it leads to "mindless transcription." Transcription means to write down something exactly as you hear it.

However, students taking notes by writing them, need to first process the information they hear. Then they record just the main parts. They use fewer words. This is because people usually write slower than they type. This kind of process leads to a deeper understanding.

The scientists did a research. In the research, students listened to a teacher and then took a test. Some took notes by typing on a computer. The others took notes by writing them down.

Both groups performed about the same in remembering facts. But students who typed their notes did much worse on conceptual(概念的) questions. These questions required them to understand an idea.

Also, scientists found that those who wrote their notes remembered conceptual information better a week later. Scientists believe that the students who took notes by writing them had a deeper understanding of ideas.

Scientists know that students probably will still use their computers in class. But they suggest to take notes by hand on screens. They say this might be a good way between different schools.

1.________ to take class notes is more helpful for a long-term memory of idea.

A. Using a computer

B. Writing by hand

C. Typing on a keyboard

D. Recording with a computer

2.The phrase “mindless transcription” means ________ in Chinese in this passage.

A. 無心記錄 B. 智能記錄

C. 愚鈍記錄 D. 用心記錄

3.According to the research, college students usually use few words to take notes by hand in class because they ________.

A. are very lazy B. want to write fast

C. are all clever D. dislike to take notes

4.Conceptual questions usually require the students to _________.

A. listen carefully

B. think of the notes

C. guess the meanings

D. understand the ideas

5.The passage mainly tells us ________ .

A. how to take notes fast in college class

B. how to work out conceptual problems

C. taking notes by hand is better than typing

D. taking notes is important in class
