84、 a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less productive, rather than more. 虽然对某些人来说，边打电话边查邮件和看报纸可能是第二天性，但多任务处理，很多时候会降低我们的效率，而不是提高效率。可以得出，很多大脑训练的目的是为了提高我们的效率。选项D符合文意。故选D项。【33题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段第三、四句You may have experienced a prefrontal
