brains, Scientific American reported.
The scientists invited 42 university students to take part in an experiment. Each student watched the same kinds of videos, which included a comedy, a debate（讨论）and a soccer match. Meanwhile, scientists scanned（扫描）their brains and recorded their brain activity.

What does “this idea” in Paragraph 3 refer to（指代）? A. Many friendship start with small chats. B. Friends try to develop similarities between themselves. C.

What do you do when you begin to read an English newspaper?
You?d better know what sections（板块）there are. Usually, there is international news, business, science and technology, education, entertainment or lifestyle, sports, cartoons and so on. You can choose your favorite section to read carefully.
Then, you come to the article itself. If you don?t have time to read the whole article, the headline（标题）and photo give you a general idea of the story.
There are many different kinds of articles in newspapers.
A news article includes body text and a photo with a short piece of text under it. It usually puts the most important information at the very beginning. If you don?t have much time to read the story, just have a look at the first paragraph.
A feature article is an in-depth report on an event or person. It usually has an interesting opening. You get to know the idea of the article as you read.
Another kind of article is an opinion article. Usually, some famous people give their own opinions about an important issue in a fun way. Opinion is different from news stories that are all facts.
Since there are different kinds of articles and opinions in newspapers, it?s important for us to stay critical（批判性的）when reading. Whatever the writer?s opinion is or whatever information the newspapers provide you with, you need to judge which opinions and information are reasonable and useful and which are not. It?s important to have your own ideas.
