20、 during meetings or texting in the checkout queue.Its as if we cant bear to miss out on what our online friends are up to,so we juggle the real and online world.My greatest concern is that we dont give our brains a chance to switch off.Itsthese precious momentswhen we actually process information th

21、at helps us make important decisions.Jeremy:It was a fascinating talk and the speaker really hit the nail on the head with a couple of things.Take parental influence,for instance.How can we expect teenagers not to text while doing their homework when they witness their parents posting on social medi

31、 discovered in a field that was“filled with field mice”due to the usual climate.“Its been very mild here,and the owl is able to find foods easily,”Samkin explained.With the sudden food,“she ly ate much and got very fat.She had a lovely time,but went too far.”The researchers consequently put the owl

32、on a“strict diet”so she could shrink to a more“natural weight”.She was even put on a bit of exercise and encouraged to fly around.In the end,the bird was sent flying gracefully off into the British countryside at a much healthier and happier weight.Hopefully,this owl wont come upon another feast of
