by most people. But if we consider the situation of the young people aged from eight to eighteen, we should
think again.
What we often see nowadays is that young people juggle a larger number of electronic devices (电子产品)
as they study. While working, they also surf on the Internet, send out emails, answer the telephone and listen
to music on their iPods. In a sense, they are spending a large amount of time in fruitless efforts (努力) as they
multitask. Multitasking is even changing the relationship between family members. As young people give so
much attention to their own worlds, they seem to have no time to spend with the other people around them.
They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
Multitasking also has an effect (影响) on young people"s performance at university and in the workplace.
When asked about their opinions of the effects of modern gadgets (器具) on their performance of tasks, many
young people gave a positive (肯定的) response (回应). However, the response from the worlds of education
and business was not quite as positive. Educators feel that multitasking by children has a serious effect on later
development of study skills. They believe that many college students now need help to improve their study
skills. Similarly, employers (雇主) feel that young people entering the job market need to be taught all over
again, as modern gadgets have made it unnecessary (没必要) for them to learn special skills to do their work.
B. Use at the same time.
C. Take the place of.

traditional craft (手艺). He builds model ships inside old bottles.
Gordon has always loved ships, especially sailing ships from the old days. His interest in this hobby began
many years ago when he visited a museum in Ottawa, Canada, where there was a display of model ships in
bottles. Gordon thought the display was wonderful. But he wondered how the craftsman got the ship through
the thin neck of the bottle. Gordon decided to find it out.
He found an old master craftsman who was willing to teach him the necessary skills. First, Gordon takes
an old bottle. Then he puts in a layer of putty (一层油灰), carefully shaped and painted it look like the sea.
Next he builds the ship. To get the ship through the neck of the bottle, Gordon holds down the masts (桅杆).
Once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.
Gordon has completed well over one hundred models. His wish is to build bigger model ships, such as
aircraft carriers. This will be more challenging, as he will have to build the ship actually inside the bottle. His

| In North America, most students go to school by bus. The subway is also widely used in some cities. In small towns and cities, walking is still popular. The yellow school bus is a familiar sight all over North America. It is a very convenient form of transportation because it takes students right to the entrance to the school. It also gives students opportunity to chat with their friends. However, the bus is slow and does not always pick up on time. The subway is a means of getting around quickly in many cities. However, it is expensive and can be very crowded during rush hour. Another disadvantage of the subway is that the stops are not so close to the school, and students often have to walk considerable distance or take a bus from the subway stop to the school. Walking has a number of advantages for those who live reasonable close to school. It"s free and it provides a form of exercise.
