12、mpressed.Since she was a garden-beginner, Mertie researched exactly how far apart to space her tomato plants; what kind of fertilizer to use; how to keep away the bugs, etc. Once they were planted, she took care of them daily, anxiously awaiting the juicy tomatoes to appear. But, day after day, her
13、plants were tomato-less while all of her neighbors who had also put out tomato plants were already enjoying the fruit of their labor.Frustrated, Mertie gave in and went to the market to search fresh tomatoes. While paying, Mertie told the farmer her troubles. The farmer paused to think for a moment
14、and then asked, “Well, what kind of tomatoes did you plant?”“I think they were called Big Boy,” Mertie remembered.“Well theres your problem,” the farmer explained. “Big Boy and Better Boy tomatoes have a 95-day growing period whereas regular tomato plants produce fruit in as few as 70 daysyou just h

She just didnt know that Big Boy tomatoes took longer-neither did I-but once she discovered th

They asked the
29、m how many times they checked theirphones and other digital devices for various reasons, and then monitored them for symptoms of ADHDAfter two years, those who had checked their phones the mostoften were twice as likely as those who checked the least often to show signs ofADHDWriting in the JAMA med
