3、 note“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”and place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically (魔术般) appear.

5、very today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete.

Students are increasingly using laptops for note-taking because of speed and legibility（清晰

10、度）. But the research has found laptop users are less able to remember and apply the concepts they have been taught. Researchers performed experiments that aimed to find out whether using a laptop increased the tendency to make notes “mindlessly” by taking down word for word what the professors said.

11、 In the first experiment, students were given either a laptop or pen and paper. They listened to the same lectures and were told to use their usual note-taking skills.
