24、tor, this part of the brain makes all the decisions. So how can people like me work when we really need to? It turns out that procrastinators also have a part of their brain that makes them panic.

31、nterests Generation Zers most. Lets take a look.Among all topics, “mental health” got the most votes (投票). “Spreading traditional culture” (83%) followed closely. The top choice is not unexpected.
