Scientists say that our multitasking (处理多重任务的) abilities are limited.“We are under the impression that our brain can do more that it often can,” says Rene Marois, a scientist in Tennessee. “But a major limitation is the inability to 44 on two things at once.”The young are often considered the great multitaskers. However, an Oxford University research suggests this idea is open to question. A group of 18- to 21-year-olds and a group of 35- to 39-year- olds were given ninety seconds to translate 45 into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did ten percent better when not interrupted, But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or a(n) 46 message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and 47 .It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. It is estimated that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $650 billion a year.The 48 is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers time was spent on interruptions and 49 time before they returned to their main tasks.III.

Small gardens are more interesting 54 they vary a great deal in botanical environment. All the wildlife responds to the variation.Ken Thompson of Sheffield University was involved in the first detailed study of the 55 living in British gardens when he and his colleagues surveyed 61 gardens in Sheffield. They really found a(n) 56 diversity of plants and animals. They also identified a range of simple 57 that improved a gardens environment for wildlife. The top thing is to grow more big trees as these greatly 58 the volume of vegetation in the garden and a lot of 59 means a lot of places to live and a lot of things to eat. 60 , create a pond for insects and frogs. Think before stocking it with fish which will eat insect eggs. Also, it is not wise to light up the garden at night with bright lawn lamps, which will 61 many night creatures. Finally, dont be too tidy: dont be 62 to clear up everything when the garden stops flowering.
