Would you be able to go through a whole day without using a single light bulb Most people probably wouldn’t. Today, almost every building mainly uses light bulbs to get light. Although we use them daily without much thought, light bulbs were once quite expensive and the newest technology. Many people’s hard work led to the light bulb’s invention, which has changed our lives greatly.
The first light bulbs are known as incandescent light bulbs (白炽灯泡). Today, we use energy-saving bulbs that are better for the environment. An American engineer invented the first LED in 1962. An LED light bulb uses one-third the electricity as an incandescent and lasts longer.
In 1802, a British scientist created the first electric light. Other British scientists created the first constant (连续不断的) stream of electric light in 1835, although the light didn’t shine very long. In the following years, scientists experimented with light bulb filaments made of different materials (材料), hoping to create a longer stream of electric light. In 1860, Joseph Swan found a material that produced a good light, but it burned out quickly. By then, none of the light bulbs created were ready to be sold to the public for everyday use. Then, in 1878, Thomas Edison made more progress. He spent much time researching what other scientists had done. He and his team spent years experimenting with light bulb filaments. They finally created the first light bulb that could send out constant electric light for 1,200 hours.
Light bulbs were safer and easier to use than candles. Increased use of light bulbs resulted in people being able to have a longer work day, so people worked longer than before. Light bulbs also led to changes in building designs. People created windowless buildings, and lights could be placed in lifts and other new places.

Time flies when you play on your smartphone. But when you get down to the real business of work and study, one hour feels like a year. What makes us so interested in smartphones but easily bored by studying
It’s all because of dopamine. Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical” that makes people feel good. Our brains send it out when we eat delicious food, after we exercise or when we are happy. Dopamine is a chemical that sends signals (信号) in the brain. It has many important roles: influencing memory, attention and how we learn. The more dopamine is sent out, the more pleasure people feel. However, our brains work best when there is a balance of dopamine—not too much or too little.
“Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to send out more dopamine. For example, checking your phone for a text leads to a 400% increase in dopamine,” said Steven Kotler. But why
When we surf the Internet, we don’t know what we’ll see next, or who will show opinions on our posts. This uncertainty, “the magic of maybe”, makes the dopamine system active, according to the website Guokr. We get excited guessing if we get opinions from our friends. When the feeling of expecting is met, dopamine is sent out. And to get more dopamine, we continue checking our phones. Studying doesn’t provide such things. Without the excitement of uncertainty, we get bored much more easily.
Can we do something to change that According to Trevor Haynes, apps can become less interesting if we turn off notifications (通知) or change the screen colors to black and white. We can also control the time of using apps to avoid overusing them.
As for studying, you could check your progress daily or weekly and get the energy to move on, said Daniel Wong. You could also study interesting topics. Use what you’ve learned to make an influence in the real world. This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn.
32. What does the underline word “It” in Paragraph 2 refers to
A. Dopamine. B. Food. C. A signal. D. A brain.
33. According to the passage, what may happen when we go online
A. We feel excited about the “uncertainty” . B. Our brains get signals to start studying.
C. Our dopamine system becomes more tiring. D. We are sure who will give opinions next.
34. Which of the following is probably the structure of the passage
35. What is the purpose of the passage
A. To introduce how dopamine sends chemicals. B. To advise people not to overuse dopamine.
C. To ask people to check their progress often. D. To show why we prefer surfing the Internet.
