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. Why are we so attracted by smartphones but easily bored by studying?It all boils down to something small and hard to see: dopamine (多巴胺).
Dopamine is a “pleasure chemical" thatmakes people feels good. Our brains give it out when we eat yummy food, after we exercise or when we get a prize.Compared with studying, playing on smartphones causes our brains to give out more dopamine. For example
checking your phone for a text leads to a 400 percent increase in dopamine. But why?When we visit social media. we don't know what we’ll see next. or who will give opinions about things we postThis “magic of maybe", makes the dopamine system active. We get excited wondering if we have messages from ourfiends. When our expectations are met, dopamine is given out.
And to find more dopamine. we continue checking our phones, Studying doesn't provide such magic. Without this excitement, we get bored much more easily.Can we do something to change that? According to scientists, apps can become less attractive if we tum offnotifications 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 yourself for it" said Daniel Wongwriter of The Happy Student, “You could also search for interesting topics connected with your textbook. Use whatyou've learned to make an influence in the real world, This will make knowledge much more interesting to learn"(283 words)

Camogli looks like any other small town on the Italian Coast. The little colored houses face the sea. But if you lookcarefully at the houses and other buildings, you’ll see something very interesting and very unusual.Many things seem real, but they are not. For example, while some flowers die, others can live for years. Why? It'painted on the building. This art form is called trompel'ocil (错视图).
Trompel'oeil has been around for a long time. In the past. Camogli's fishermen used to paint their houses in brighcolors and unusual designs, so that they could see their homes easily from water. Then in the 1700s, this style of art became a way to make small, simple buildings look grand (宏伟的) and expensive
Today, there are thousands of trompel'oeil houses in the town of Camogli. However, there are only a few artists that areavailable to paint them. Raffaella is one of them. She learned this special style of painting from her grandmother. Raffaellahas not forgotten the history of Trompel'oeil either, She uses a mixture ofold and new methods to create her work.
Becoming a good Trompel' oeil painter is difhicult. It takes a lot of time and a lot of study, Raffaella has worked for 20so well that it looks real. Raffaella learned from other artists, not in a school. However, thisyears to be able to paint stonehas become a problem. There are now fewer antists. Therefore, there are fewer teachers and places for new painters to leamnAnother trompel'oeil painter Carlo only uses traditional-tyle paints and mixes them by hand. He does this for one purposeto protect the trompel'oeil tradition, “lf we lose the trompel'oeil tradition, then very litle of Camogli's culture will remainOf course you can go to museums, but that's not much. Culhure should be seen and enjoyed by everyone." said Carlo.Fortunately, in Camogli, you can still see trompel'oeil everywhere. But remember, in this fishing town, what you seemay not be what you think it is. So don't believe in your eyes! (341 words)
