18、 foils in line with previous studies that have found overuse of smartphones at night to be associated with trouble falling asleep, reduced sleep duration （睡眠持续时间）and daytime tiredness.

24、Sleep Quality Can Be ImprovedC. LED Light Source Causes Great HarmD.

You can potentially remember more by handwriting, according to a
25、 new study.The potential benefits of handwriting for memory have been debated for some time.

Researchers asked each of them to
26、 write with a pen and then each was also asked to type on a keyboard. While performing these tasks, each volunteer wore a cap that held electrodes next to their head.
