A.makestheperformanceemotionallyaffectedonly
B.contributestomemorizingvariousthings
C.mayresultinlosingthenextgenerationofgreatthinkers

解析:
细节理解题。
关于同时做很多事,第二段说在有些情况下,比如在数字化的世界里做生意(doingbusinessinthedigitalworld)是无害的,因此选D。
文章说同时做很多事会影响我们在人际交往和情感方面的健康(A项错),会使我们的记性更差(B项错),同时做很多事可能会使我们失去未来一代伟大的思想家是一位叫Todd的作家说的(C项不切是题)。
答案:
D

解析:
推理判断题。
文章开头说,“欢迎来到同时做很多事的世界,在这里,对一个人的衡量标准是他/她能同时开展多少项工作”,接着说,这个想法实际上害人不浅,因此B项正确;从第二段可知A、C两项错,因为multitasking有时是无害的,有时则会妨硬我们;第二段最后一句通过打比方的方式告诉我们,这样会使事情做得更慢(D项错)。
答案:
B
