It's a school day morning. You are dressing yourself in the bedroom. At the same time, you are thinking about taking your schoolbag from the living room. But when you walk through your bedroom door and into the living room, you suddenly forget w1. you are there and just don't know what to do.

Most people would think they have a poor m2.. But scientists believe that the act of walking through doorways makes them forget things. They call it the "doorway effect".

The scientists from the University of Notre Dame in the US did an e3.. They placed several objects into two rooms. The students had to put an object from Room A into a shoebox and then carried it to Room B through a doorway. In Room B, they exchanged it for another object and brought it back to Room A in the shoebox. Then the students were asked to do the same things w4. crossing though a doorway.

During the period of time, the scientists would randomly (随机地) ask the students which object was in their shoebox at the moment. The scientists found their answers were slower and less c5. when they walked through a doorway and into a new room

"A doorway is just like a boundary (分界线) in the mind," the lead scientist Gabriel Radavansky told Scientific American. Setting "boundaries" in our minds can cause us to forget things e6.. For example, when you walk into the living room, your brain thinks the act of getting your schoolbag is already "done" and it moves on.

Is there a way to s7. the "doorway effect? Writing down what you need before going into another room might be helpful.

Have you ever wished you could change something about your body? If so, you're not alone.

Many people use apps (手机软件) like MeituXiuxiu to edit photos before posting them on social media. Some teenagers are even having plastic surgery (整容) at an early age. Zeng, a senior 2 student from Chengdu, had a double eyelid surgery done this summer. She and many of her classmates believe bigger eyes look more beautiful.

As teenagers' bodies grow and change, they become aware of the smallest flaw (缺陷) in their looks. They are very worried about it. This can affect their health.

According to Huxiu News, over 60 percent of girls refuse to take part in some daily activities such as going to school, because they feel bad about their looks. As much as 31 percent of teenagers do not want to speak up in class because they worry that others will notice their looks.

One of the main causes is advertising, TV shows and social media. Pictures of "perfect" faces and bodies are everywhere. They suggest that having large eyes, pale skin and skinny bodies is the only way to be beautiful. Magazines give tips about how to lose weight "in days". Advertisements suggest that you should whiten your skin using certain products. And TV shows often make fun of overweight characters. Seeing all these things can make people believe that they should change their bodies.

So what should we do? According to Nancy Etcoff of the Harvard Media School, "We need to help young people in many ways. These ways can include educating students about body confidence in school, as well as encouraging parents to talk to their kids about his topic. After all, beauty comes in all shapes and sizes" Etcoff said.
