31. If the author will go on writing, what is likely to be talked about?

How many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another \(拇指) up\
B. Eating chocolate. D. Drinking coffee.
Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, don't worry-psychological findings have shown it's completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a \chocolate or winning money, and we can't help wanting more.
According
to
the
findings, which observed 32 teens aged between 13 and 18, the feedback circuit (反馈回路)in the teens' brains is particularly sensitive, and the \and \parts of their brains were active when they received \on the social network. The research
also showed that though the thumbs up might come from complete strangers, the good they derive from them worked all the same.
So, does it mean we should try our best to win as many thumbs up as possible? Not necessarily so if we know the reasons behind our desire for attention. In \do people long for attention\by M.Farouk Radwan, he explained several cases in which people naturally longed for attention. Radwan said people who were an only child, who were used to being the center of attention in their house, may try to copy these
conditions. Feeling
\
and
unappreciated\might also lead you to long for attention. Other times, the state of being jealous, or wanting to cover your
mistakes
may
also
contribute to such longings. In fact, too much desire for attention can create anxiety, and
in
turn
ruin
your
happiness even when you get it. So what can we do about it? The answer is quite simple. \people could adopt goals not focused
on
their
own
self-esteem(自尊)but on something larger than their self, such as what they can create or contribute to others,
they would be less sensitive to some of the negative effects of
pursuing
self-esteem,\
wrote psychology professor Jennifer Crocker.
So perhaps the answer to our addiction to \is simply to focus on something larger than ourselves-a hard, but a worthy one.
32. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. The thumbs up from complete strangers don't work.
B. Desire for attention can definitely create anxiety. C. Feeling ignored might lead you to be in need of attention.
D. The brain of teenagers is seldom sensitive.
33. What's the reaction of receiving \on the social network to the brain?
A. The social and visual parts become more nervous. B. The social and visual parts of the brain are active. C. The physical and sense parts of the brain become less sensitive.
D. The whole brain becomes cleverer.
34. Who wants to get more attention according to the passage?
A. The one who is the only child.
B. The old who lives happily with children.
C. The young who feels anxious.
D. Teens who want to discover their mistakes. 35.
What's
Crocker's
suggestion about the negative effects of getting self-esteem? A. Doing an interesting matter.
B. Working harder than ever before.

Imagine that you are in a remote village somewhere with
no
medical
clinic. 36 Once the doctors get to you, they examine you and take blood samples, but they won’t be able to help you until they take the samples back to the hospital to
find
out
what
is wrong. 37 Thanks
to
engineer Andy Ozcan, many people may never be in this situation. He has invented an app that turns your mobile phone into a diagnostic(诊断的)tool.
Ozcan’s invention is important because it is very accurate and easy to use. In many remote places, even if doctors have microscopes and other instruments to help them make diagnoses, there may still be other problems. Many doctors, for example, don’t have enough training to correctly interpret what they see. 38 With Ozcan’s mobile phone app, health workers can take a special photo of a blood sample and send it to a central computer at a hospital. The computer will
then
automatically
interpret the photo and send a
