Recent

28、 studies have found, among other things, that the smell of foods like pizza can cause uncontrollable anger in drivers on roads.The review explains that smell is unique in its effects on the brain. According to Conrad King, the researcher who carried out the review, “more than any other senses, the s

29、ense of smell goes through the logical part of the brain and acts on the systems concerned with feelings. This is why the smell of baking bread can destroy the best intentions of a dieter.”Smell, which dictates(决定) the unbelievable complexity of food tastes, has always been the least understood of o

30、ur senses. Our noses are able to detect up to 10,000 distinct smells. Our ability to smell and taste this extremely large range of smells is controlled by something like 1,000 genes (基因), which make up an amazing 3% of the human genome. Researchers Richard Axel and Linda Buck were together awarded a

31、 Nobel Prize in 2004 for their ground-breaking research on the nature of this extraordinary sense. These two scientists were the first to describe the family of 1,000 olfactory (嗅觉) genes and to explain how our olfactory system works.According to one study in the research review, smelling fresh pizz

32、a or even the packaging of fast foods can be enough to make drivers feel impatient with other road users. They are then more likely to speed and experience uncontrollable anger on roads. The most reasonable explanation is that these can all make drivers feel hungry, and therefore desperate to satisf

33、y their appetites.In contrast, the smells of peppermint and cinnamon were shown to improve concentration levels as well as reduce drivers impatience. Similarly, the smells of lemon and coffee appeared to promote clear thinking and mental focus.However, the way genes regulate smell differs from perso

34、n to person. A study by researchers in Israel has identified at least 50 olfactory genes which are switched on in some people and not in others. They believe this may explain why some of us love some smells and tastes while others hate them. The Israel researchers say their study shows that nearly e

35、very human being shows a different pattern of active and inactive smell-detecting receptors.28. What did Richard Axel and Linda Buck find out?A. The type of food smells.B.The logical part of human brain.C.The nature of human olfactory system.D.The relationship between food and feelings.29. Which of

36、the following can help people concentrate?A. Bread.B. Pizza.C. Coffee.D. Fast food.30. What do we know from the last paragraph?A. Some people can recognize up to 50 smells.B.

Olfactory genes and its system.DHow many times do you check your Facebook page in a day to see whether your latest post has got another “like” or

38、“thumbs up”?Although you might be embarrassed to admit how many times you do this, dont worrypsychological findings have shown its completely normal. In fact, the pleasure we derive from receiving a “like” is equal to that of eating chocolate or winning money, and we cant help wanting more. Accordin

39、g 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 “social” and “visual” parts of their brains were active when they received “likes” on the social network. The research also showed that though the thu

40、mbs 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 “why do people long for attention” by M. Farouk Ra

41、dwan, 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 “overlooked and unappreciated” might also lead you to long for attentio

42、n. 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. “If people could

43、 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
