9．Daniel Defoe （about 1660～1731）was an important novelist in the English literature．When he was young，he served as a soldier and had been to Spain，Italy，France and Germany．At the same time，he went in for politics．He cared much about the development of capitalism（资本主义）．He had written a lot of articles against it and he was put into prison twice for that．It was not until  he was nearly sixty that he began to write the famous novel"Robinson Crusoe"，which was published in May，1709．It spread so rapidly that the story was known to every household soon．
"Robinson Crusoe"can be divided into three parts．The first part is about Crusoe's three voyages，the second part about his hunting，hiding in caves farming and his hard struggles against nature on a small island，the third about the things which happened after his return from the island．The second part is the body of the novel，in which Robinson's characters are clearly shown．
Defoe wrote his novel in a simple style and his language is easy to understand．His novel writing set a milestone of the modern English novel．In his later part of life，He was in poor health and lived very poorly．He died on April 24，1731．

14．How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts，feelings and behaviors．But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical（经验的，实证的） basis．They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity，keep people focused and lead to relaxation．
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity．In 2007，Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota，reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think．Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely，which may lead them to make more abstract connections．Low ceilings，on the other hand，may inspire a more detailed outlook．
In additions to ceiling height，the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate．Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention．
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically，and it seems to，according to a study led by C．Kenneth Tanner，head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia．Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary，language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots．
Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim（暗淡的） light helps people to loosen up．If that is true generally，keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation．Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax．
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings．"We have a very limited number of studies，so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw（吸管），"architect David Allison says．"How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad，generalized use of them？That's what we're all struggling with．"

A．Light．
B．Ceilings．
C．Windows．
D．Furniture．
43．The passage tells us thatA．

B．lower ceilings may help improve students'creativity
C．children in a dim classroom may improve their grades
D．students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed
44．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means thatD．
A．the problem is not approached step by step
B．the researches so far have faults in themselves
C．the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect
