Tips on buying outdoor solar lights
As solar lighting is becoming useful for homes,many different such outdoor lights can now be found in supermarkets.Here are some helpful tips for customers.
●Does your area receive enough direct lighting?
(36)A.So you shouldn't even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn't get much sunlight.These lights need direct sunlight,or they just won't work very well.
•(37)D
The expensive one usually means good quality.Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems.For once,it's best to buy more expensive lights of high quality.(38)FAt least you should know the difference between a 10lightanda 45light.
●Buy lights that require less installation(安装 ).
Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground.Therefore,you shouldn't deal with the difficulty in installing a system that involves anything more than that.(39)GYou don't need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground because that's just a waste of time.
●Make sure the lights can store enough energy.
Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy.(40)C Therefore,you should choose lights that are able to store enough energy to last for a few hours or more,at least those that will last from nightfall throughout most of the night and part of the morning.

A.Without sunlight,solar lighting is useless.
B.Buy many solar lights instead of just one or two.
C.It means some will stay lit longer than the others.
D.Choose something a bit more expensive for once.
E.Solar lights are becoming more and more popular.
F.That doesn't mean you have to spend all your money.
G.They should take a few minutes each to get into the ground.
16.There are plenty of things to be gained from going abroad:new friends,new experiences,new stories.But living in another country may come with a less noticeable benefit,too.Some scientists say it can also make you more creative.
Writers and thinkers love travelling abroad.Ernest Hemingway,for example,drew inspiration for much of his work from his time in Spain and France.Aldous Huxley,the author of Brave New World,moved from the U.K.to the U.S.in his 40s to branch out into screenwriting.Mark Twain,who sailed around the coast of the Mediterranean in 1869,wrote in his travelogue Innocents Abroad that travel is"fatal to prejudice,bigotry,and narrow-mindedness."
In recent years,psychologists and neuroscientists have begun examining more closely what many people have already learned:that spending time abroad may have the potential to affect mental change.In general,creativity is related to how the brain is wired.Neural(神经的)pathways are sensitive to change:new sounds,smells,languages,tastes,sensations,and sights spark different synapses(神经突触)in the brain and may have the potential to revitalize(使恢复生机) the mind.
"Foreign experiences increase both cognitive flexibility and depth and integrativeness(综合性) of thought,"says Adam Galinsky,a professor at Columbia Business School and the author of numerous studies on the connection between creativity and international travel.Cognitive flexibility is the mind's ability to jump between different ideas,a key component of creativity.But it's not just about being abroad,Galinsky says:"The key critical process is multicultural engagement,immersion(浸入),and adaptation.Someone who lives abroad and doesn't engage with the local culture will likely get less of a creative boost than someone who travels abroad and really engages in the local environment."In other words,going to Cancun for a week on spring break probably won't make a person any more creative.But going to Cancun and living with local fishermen might.
The researchers also found that the more countries the executives had lived in,the more creative the lines tended to be-but only up to a point.Those who had lived and worked in more than three countries,the study found,still tended to show higher levels of creativity that those who hadn't worked abroad at all,but less creativity that their peers who had worked in a smaller number of foreign countries.The authors assumed that those who had lived in too many countries hadn't been able to properly immerse themselves culturally; they were bouncing around too much."It gets back to this idea of a deeper level of learning that's necessary for these effects to occur,"Galinsky says.
Of course,although a new country is an easy way to leave a"social comfort zone,"the cultural engagement associated with cognitive change doesn't have to happen abroad.If a plane ticket isn't an option,maybe try taking the subway to a new neighborhood.Sometimes,the research suggests,all that's needed for a creative boost is a fresh cultural scene.

61.The examples of the three writers in Paragraph 2 are toB.
A.show how travelling abroad inspires one's brain
B.explain the creative benefits of international travel
C.illustrate prejudice and narrow-mindedness can harm creativity
D.discuss why writers and thinkers tend to be more open-minded
62.It can be learned from Paragraph 3 thatC.
A.neural pathways are birthplaces of creativity
B.creative is responsible for revitalizing the mind
C.creativity can be developed by changes of the environment
D.neural pathways allow different synapses to work efficiently
63.What is the key critical process according to Galinsky?D
A.The deep involvement with foreign culture.
B.Travelling abroad for a relatively longer period.
C.The mind's ability to jump between different ideas.
D.Living in the foreign country instead of just travelling there.
64.Which of the following could be the most suitable title for the passage?B
A.Leave your social comfort zone
B.For a more creative mind,travel
C.Put down your work and go to your neighborhood
D.For an artistic inspiration,go to more foreign countries.
10.Of the three major drinks of the world---tea,coffee and cocoa-tea is consumed by the(61)largest(large) number of people.
China is the homeland of tea.Human cultivation of tea plants dates back to two thousand years ago.Tea from China,along(62)withher silk and porcelain,began to be known to the world more than a thousand years ago and since then it (63)has been(be) an important Chinese export.
At present more than forty countries in the world grow tea with Asian countries (64)producing(produce) 90% of the world's total output.All tea trees in other countries have their origin directly or indirectly in China.The word for tea leaves or tea as (65)adrink in many countries are derivatives(衍生物)from the Chinese character"cha".The Russians call it"cha'i",(66)whichsounds like"chaye"(tea leaves) as it is pronounced in northern China,and the English word"tea"sounds similar to the pronunciation of its counterpart in Xiamen.The Japanese character for tea is written (67)exactly(exact) the same as it is in Chinese,though (68)pronounced(pronounce) with a slight difference.The habit of tea drinking spread to Japan in the 6th century,(69)butit was not introduced to Europe and America till the 17th and 18th centuries.Now the number of tea(70)drinkers(drink) in the world is still on the increase.
