Distinguish between matter and Author's opinion.
Passage:
Dopamine is a hormone that sends out that tingling feeling of anticipation, say like the night before a party at which you'll be honored age to with an award. Or the rush after a fantastic exam result. A substance released at the end of a nerve fibre, effecting the transfer of an impulse from one nerve to another, dopamine is, in essence, our morning's get-up-and-go neuro-chemical. "We used to believe it's all about pleasure and reward; this is an old story. Now we say that dopamine amps up desire”.Dopamine is the brain signaling you to indulge in an activity; it is the anticipation of the activity from which you derive pleasure.
Like all good things, too much or too little is a problem Too much has been found in the brains of those who live with Tourette syndrome; too little in those with Parkinson's disease. But what's really worrying, researchers is the way it's being increasingly pumped out in the brain through our daily behaviour.
This passage has factual matter.. interlaced with opinions.. You need to read critically and differentiate the two. Lets work on this skill
Authors opinions are marked in yellow.

The rest of the matter is factual.
As you read, through a passage anticipate :
- which statement is matter..
- which is opinion..
You can get questions on both- matter and opinion..
