  1. Book Four: Lesson One Putting Things Off 拖延事情 2008/03/12

  2. 閱讀測驗(一) • Everyone has a lot to do these days: finishing homework, answering e-mails, responding to instant messages, and so on. In general, we think it will save time if we do all of them together. Trying to do several things at once is called “multitasking.” 2008/03/12

  3. 閱讀測驗(一) • Recently, studies have proven that when you change among different tasks, you actually take longer to do them. That’s because your brain takes time to change what it is thinking about, and then change back again. That is, multitasking can’t help you get things done quickly. 2008/03/12

  4. 閱讀測驗(一) • For example, if you are doing math homework and researching a history essay on your computer at the same time, it means that your brain is changing between math and history again and again. To make things even worse, most of us also listen to music, talk on the phone, and chat online with friends while doing our work. 2008/03/12

  5. 閱讀測驗(一) • In this way, our brains need extra time to organize all of those different jobs. You can’t do math and remember the words in a song at the same time. You may fool yourself into thinking that you are really achieving both things at once, because you don’t realize that you’ve stopped doing one of them. 2008/03/12
