    When was the last time that you dialed a phone number from memory? It probably depends on how long you've been using  like a cellphone. While some generations can recall the days of memorizing phone numbers, it's possible that members of Generation Z have never had to remember a single . Why is this? Because smartphones offer quick and convenient ways for storing and  information. There is no need to memorize anything. But this isn't without consequence. As digital devices develop, more and more users' heavy reliance on them may be having disabling effects." Digital dementia(失智)"is the term being used by medical professionals to identify some of these effects.

    Some professionals like Jim Kwik, an expert in memory improvement and optimal brain performance, are taking a closer look at this effect. Kwik describes digital dementia like this:"...we're  our brains to our smart devices. We're so reliant on our smartphones that our smartphones are making us stupid. As medical studies chart the decline in memory and cognitive skills among smartphone users, a connection is made between symptoms  with dementia."

    The seriousness of overuse becomes  when you consider just how young smartphone users are becoming. Author and speaker Simon Sinek points out that young minds" Are not ready for it! Their minds cannot cope with the dopamine(多巴胺)."Consequently, the overstimulation of screens and sounds lead to  more often than not. So now parents, teachers and managers are asking how to handle the influx(汇集)of young people with this kind of addiction.

    First, monitor your cellphone use. Keep downloading applications like Forest or Checky. Then cut back on any  usage. Set a specific goal of how much you think you should use your phone.

    Determine  areas for cellphone use. For example, while you're at home, only allow yourself to check your phone somewhere like a home office. This way, the time in between tasks isn't  filled with staring at your screen.

    Considering how much time people spend in effects, it is important that with A be well designed. Well-designed office spaces help create a corporation's image. They motivate workers and they make an impression on people who visit and might be potential, or {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , customers. They make business work better, and they are a part of the corporate culture to live in.

As we move away from an industrial-based economy to a knowledge-based one, office designers come up with {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to the traditional work environments of the past. The design industry has moved away from a fixed office setup and created more flexible “strategic management environments.” These {#blank#}3{#/blank#} solutions are meant to support better organizational performance.

    As employee hierarchies (等级制度)have flattened or decreased, office designers' response to this change has been to move open-plan areas to more desirable locations within the office and create fewer formal private offices. The need for increased flexibility has also been {#blank#}4{#/blank#} by changes in workstation design. Office and work spaces often are not {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to a given person on a permanent basis. Because of changes to methods of working, new design allow for expansion or movement of desks, storage, and equipment within the workplace. Another important design goal is communication, which designers have improved by breaking the walls that {#blank#}6{#/blank#} workstations. Designers have also created informal gathering places and upgraded employees'{#blank#}7{#/blank#} to heavily trafficked areas such as copy and coffee rooms.

Corporate and institutional office designers often struggle to resolve a number of competing and often {#blank#}8{#/blank#} demands, including budgetary limits, employees hierarchies and technological innovation (especially in relation to computerization). These demands must also be balanced with the need to create interiors (内饰) that in some way enhance, establish or possess a company's image and will enable employees to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} and their best.

    All these {#blank#}10{#/blank#} of office design are related. The most successful office designs are like good marriage—the well-designed office and the employees that occupy it are seemingly made for each other.

Directions:After reading the passage below, fill in each blank with a proper word given in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than.

A. vacant  B. raised  C. acknowledges  D. quoted  E. alerts  F. colonial

Museums Rethink What to Do with Their African Art Collections

Recently, a discussion is happening in museums around the world over the volume of African art in their collections. Officials in Germany and the Netherlands have announced plans to return art and artifacts (文物) taken from Africa during the{#blank#}1{#/blank#}period. And more museum staff are meeting on the topic across Europe.

According to the most commonly{#blank#}2{#/blank#}figures from UNESCO(United Nations Educational, Scientifie and Cultural Organization), 90% to 95%of sub-Saharan cultural artifacts are{#blank#}3{#/blank#}outside Africa. Many were taken by force long ago and ended up in museums across Europe and North America.

At the Africa Museum in Belgium, director Guido Gryseels says 85 percent of the-museum's collection comes from the Congo-the site of Belgium's{#blank#}4{#/blank#}colony in Central Africa. For decades, Congolese leaders have asked for these objects to be returned. Most of their{#blank#}5{#/blank#}, and those by African countries to other museums, have been refused.

But recent events in Europe have{#blank#}6{#/blank#}the possibility of returns at a much larger scale. In addition to the plans announced in Germany, last year France conducted a study of how much African art French museums are holding and made{#blank#}7{#/blank#}about what to do with it.

The study recommended the return of a wide range of objects taken by force. The suggestion got mixed{#blank#}8{#/blank#}in France, where there are at least 90000 African items in museums.

In France, some people have suggested returns could leave shelves{#blank#}9{#/blank#}in French museums. Cecile Fromont, a French historian of Central African art, says that's not going to happen. One way of thinking about it, she says, is that more African art can go on display.

However, Guido Gryseels of the Africa Museum in Belgium{#blank#}10{#/blank#}that attitudes are changing. He says he's in discussion with the Congo to return works.
