D. However, technology is sometimes considered to disconnect people from others around them. With cell phones, most people think that it’s easier and more convenient to text instead of meeting in person. An article shows that almost 60 percent of people feel disconnected from others around when they are on their phones.
E. Technology is helping people build newer and necessary communication skills in this sense. Office employees and managers use technology to send e-mails to one another in business.

A. During this time, he made paintings of circus people and clowns which were a bit happier. Later, Picasso moved to Paris, where lots of new art was being created. He, along with an artist friend Georges Braque, came up with a unique abstract form of art--Cubism.
B. Picasso kept changing his art style and tried lots of different things, like making sculptures and pottery. He left behind a lot of art that still makes people think and feel different things. His work changed the way we understand and make art today.
C. Pablo Picasso was a famous artist born in Spain in 1881. He was very good at drawing from a young age and became one of the most important artists in the 1900s.
D. According to Picasso it was drawing objects as he thought them, not saw them, since in Cubism, artists show all parts of a scene at once, using simple shapes and putting them together in unusual ways, like a puzzle.
E. Early in his life, Picasso’s paintings were mostly in shades of blue and showed sad scenes, which is why that time is called his Blue Period. Later, he started using lighter colors like pinks and reds, which is known as his Rose Period.

“Mom, please,” Ann a begged eagerly. “Please, let me do it by myself!” She had never made cookies by herself before, but at the age of nine, she felt capable of handling many things. Her friends had been baking cupcakes for a year. Yet, it seemed her parents had little faith in her.
“Anna is going to make cookies? Alone?” her brother, Carl, asked with a laugh. “That is going to be disaster!” Carl used big words to act smarter than Anna. Having a big brother could be annoying. Admittedly, Anna always appeared clumsy. But that was before she turned nine. She thought her parents should realize she would do better now.
At her words, a flash of uncertainty crossed her parents’ faces. Would they agree? Holding her breath, she had waited for what seemed like ages. Surprisingly, Mom nodded, saying, “Okay, but please be careful, and remember to take a look at the cookbook first.”
Fueled by determination, Anna raced to the kitchen. With each step, there was a sense of purpose and confidence growing within her. She had already done it with Mom a million times before. Putting the cookbook aside, she got down to baking cookies from memory, breaking eggs, dropping a cold stick of butter, adding salt and then…um…yes, mixing it well! Using a mixer was easy. She turned on the mixer at the medium speed—and whoa. Whoa. Whoa! Butter splattered (飞溅) everywhere, making the kitchen in a mess. Collecting herself, she turned back to the mixing bowl and started again. This time with softer butter.
Anna placed rounded spoonfuls of mixture onto the cookie pan and put it into the oven (烤炉). Within a few minutes, a fantastic smell filled the kitchen- the smell of cookie success! She was going to silence all those doubts. No more eye-rolling from her big brother. No more “You’re too young, Anna” from her parents. She believed she was grown up and mature enough to be relied on.

That’ s a brain system that unconsciously monitors (无意中监测) the environment for signs of vital importance, which makes students focus less on their study. |
| B．In 2017, researchers were aware of the effect of cell phone presence on students. To prove this, the students were asked to complete math problems with their cellphones put on their desks, hidden in nearby bags or clothing. |
| C．Taken together, there ’s increasing evidence that the presence and usage of the cellphone in the classroom should be monitored, and even not allowed in some cases. |
| D．Although the students were required to turn off ring tones, the researchers found that the phone continued to have a great influence, occupying the students’ mental space even though they paid no attention to it. The students performed worse when the phone was nearby on the desk, and it didn’t matter if they turned it facedown. They didn’t do much better when the phone was hidden in a bag or a pocket. Why? |
| E．The researchers concluded that intuitive (本能的) fixes like putting the phone facedown or turning it off were useless. Also, they pointed out that the only effective solution was actual physical separation from the phone. That’s important when students are taking tests, of course, but the research says that physical separation is even more important when they’ re trying to learn something. |
