What a pain! 　面倒だなあ!

When Apple came out with the iPhone X, I was excited. This cell phone could learn to recognize the face of the owner and unlock itself. It was like something out of a James Bond movie! When I bought the phone, I really enjoyed the new technology, but now I’m not so happy. It no longer recognizes me because I wear a mask every day. My old phone was better. I could put my finger on the home button, and it would unlock. Now I have to input my passcode every time. What a pain! (by Prof. Douglas Jarrell)

Research conducted at Cornell University in New York showed that people who had not eaten before going shopping bought more food than those who were not hungry. Food you buy when you are ravenous will usually be high in calories, unhealthy, and expensive—you are more likely to buy a bag of cookies than a bunch of spinach, for example. So, do yourself a favor and have a snack before you hit the supermarket aisles. (by Tania Pattison)
