9、eryone else. Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didnt like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped.

10、k City. I couldnt wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasnt at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadnt had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I a
11、lso felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace.

That is the statement of researchers who h
17、ave found that tapping away on a mobile phone or computer keypad or checking for electronic messages temporarily knocks up to 10 points off the users IQ. This rate of decline in intelligence compares unfavorably with the four-point drop in IQ associated with smoking marijuana, according to British r
18、esearchers, who have described the phenomenon of improved stupidity as “infomania”.

19、ons mind. It can cause a constant distraction of “always on” technology when employees should be concentrating on what they are paid to do.

20、 the task in hand. The report also added that, in a long term, the brain will be considerably shaped by what we do to it and by the experience of daily life.

22、ized work-related ones even when at home or on holiday. Half said that they always responded immediately to an email and will even interrupt a meeting to do so. It is concluded that infomania is increasing stress and anxiety and affecting ones characteristics. Nine out of ten thought that colleagues
23、 who answered e-mails or messages during a face-to-face meeting were extremely rude. The effects on IQ were studied by Dr Glenn Wilson, a psychologist at University of London. “This is a very real and widespread phenomenon,” he said. “We have found that infomania will damage a workers performance by
24、 reducing their mental sharpness and changing their social life. Companies should encourage a more balanced and appropriate way of working.”8.

The car then unfolds its wings and takes off from a stretch of
