11、 阅读短文,从每小题所给的四个选项中,选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案
Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you sit down to work and study, an hour feels like a year. ▲
It is all because of something small called dopamine (多巴胺) which is a "pleasure chemical" that makes people feel good. Our brains release it when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we are praised.
Compared with studying, eating chocolate can make your brain release 150% more dopamine, and exercising for 30 minutes raises it by 200%. But playing on smartphones creates much more dopamine. For example, watching short videos gives a 250% increase, and checking new messages makes dopamine jump by 400%—much higher than studying. But why?
When we go through social media, we don't know what we'll see next, or who will follow our posts. This uncertainty makes the dopamine active. Studying doesn't provide such uncertainty. Without the excitement of "gambling (赌博)", we get bored much more easily.
Can we do something to change that? According to a research, apps can become less attractive if we turn off notifications or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also set time limits on apps to avoid overusing them.
As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and reward (奖赏) yourself for it. You could also explore interesting topics related to your textbook. Use what you've learned to make a difference in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn.
(1)、Which of the following can be put in "____"?A、Why is studying so important for our brains B、Why is using a smartphone the best way to improve study C、Why are we so fond of smartphones but easily bored by studying D、Why are we so easy to be tired of using smartphones(2)、What does the underline word "release" mean in the passage?A、recycle B、operate C、produce D、attract(3)、Which of the following picture shows the level of dopamine increase?A、B、
C、
D、
(4)、Which of the following way can help to make study more fun?①Turn the screen color to black and white
②Spend more time on social media to relax.
③Set small goals and reward yourself after finishing them.
④Keep phone notifications on to stay connected.
⑤Connect textbook lessons to real-life problems.
A、①② B、③⑤ C、①③ D、④⑤(5)、What can be the best title for the passage?A、The Fun-Thief of Study: Dopamine B、How to Stay Away from Social Media C、The History of Dopamine Discovery D、Best Study Methods for Students -
