I. Scanning & Skimming a reading text..( pages 202) :
We all know the expression to change your mind. But is it possible literally to change your mind-or, to be more precise, to change your brain? Reports from 2005 says yes. First, the bad news, at least for smokers: a study from the University of Edinburgh, in Scotland. It concludes that smoking makes people less intelligent. On cognitive tests ( tests that involve judgment), smokers did significantly worse than nonsmokers. The theory that toxins- poisons- in the smoke enter the blood and damage blood vessels providing the brain with oxygen. And there is more bad news, for most of us: a study from the University of London says that “ informania”- the constant flood of information from cell phones, emails, and text messaging- can reduce intelligence by ten points on an IQ test.
