We all have those moments when bright ideas hit us，but not everyone can develop such moments into the fruits of creative thinking. While we believe creative thinking is the falling apple of Isaac Newton，one of the greatest scientists，we seldom notice creative thinking is in fact a process(过程).
Let's look at what happened in 1666. Sitting in the garden，Newton watched an apple fall from a tree. He began to wonder if the same force that pulled the apple down also kept the Moon circling the Earth. Newton believed it did. He called it "gravity(重力)".
This story has become one of the most popular examples of "eureka" moments. But when we cheer for the great discovery，the whole process of creative thinking shouldn't be forgotten. Newton studied mathematics for long to have a better understanding of the world. He always enjoyed finding new ways to solve problems. The falling apple was only the fruit of years of hard work before. It also started the train of thought that continued for the next twenty years. Newton began to examine "gravity" carefully. He experimented(做实验). Then he studied the results and used what he had learned to do new experiments. In 1687，the greatest scientific work came out.
The whole process of creative thinking works the same in our life.
In school，we prepare ourselves for the right moment. Once the moment comes，we catch it and then keep on working in the years to come. It takes much to get the fruits of creative thinking，but the sweetest fruits will be ready for those who wait the longest.

C
Smartphones are getting boring. The new models are either a bit faster or have better cameras，but they are basically no different from the ones in our pockets. This is why scientists are hoping，and working for something new，something that will change our lives just as greatly as smartphones do. At the moment，the next invention might be smart glasses.
Just imagine. Instead of having to take out your phone and look at the screen，all of the information you need simply appears just in front of you，in your glasses. Satellite navigation(导航) directions would appear right there on the road. And your smart glasses could guide you to the right shelf in the supermarket!
Smart glasses could also be used in industry. They could show engineers the instructions they need to fix things more quickly. A doctor could carry out a difficult operation，guided in real time by someone on the other side of the world.
This may sound impossible. But most of the technologies to invent them are already there. For example，one key technology is called AR. We've used it a lot on our video calls. Similarly，huge progress has been made in spatial audio. This is when a sound is made to give it a sense of place，like what you hear in an empty room. Some high-end earphones can already do that. Future glasses will of course need to recognize(识别) your voice to do tasks. This technology has been widely used in our daily life.
So，why aren't we all wearing smart glasses yet? So far，no one has invented a good way to send images of our world onto glasses. However，with the rapid development of technology，smart glasses could arrive much sooner than we think.
33. The purpose of mentioning smartphones in Paragraph 1 is to .
A. start a story
B. explain an idea
C. introduce a topic
D. discuss a problem
34. What are Paragraphs 2 and 3 mainly about?
A. When smart glasses might be made.
B. Where smart glasses could be used.
C. How smart glasses would give directions.
D. Why smart glasses should be changed.
35. Which of the following technologies needs to be improved to invent smart glasses?
A. Making spatial audio.
B. Recognizing voices.
C. AR.
D. Sending images onto glasses.
36. How might the writer feel about the future of smart glasses?
A. Bored.
B. Confident.
C. Satisfied.
D. Uncertain.
