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 (數(shù)碼設(shè)備)in half of their class. But they could use them in the ?ther 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.

Nowadays, there are more and more TV talent shows. They are very popular all over China. However, there must be something perfect, something common and something poor. All of them have ?оmеth?ng ?n соmmоn: thе tutоr? (導(dǎo)師) р?сk uр thе r?ght оnе? thаt thеу th?nk рrореr аnd excellеnt.

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.
