【题目】 Architects(建筑师) 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 basis(实证依据). They are discovering how to design spaces that develop creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.

Researches show that 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 suggests 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 addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence the owner’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(学术地), 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 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms mainly overlooked roads and parking lots.

Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim 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.”

【1】What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?

A. The height of the ceiling.B. The freedom of people.

C. The outlook of environment.D. The shape of the furniture.

【2】What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?

A. The classroom with roads around can be filled with more students.

B. The students in large classrooms can pay more attention on maths.

C. The views outside the window may affect the students’ grades.

D. The researchers in the University of Georgia may get higher scores.

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A. Test standards may encourage people to search more.

B. Students in a bright classroom may feel more relaxed.

C. Children in greenness may improve their grades quickly.

D. Room designs may influence people’s work and feelings.

【题目】Fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词,首字母已给)

One day I was driven by a rain-storm to take shelter in a little hut by the road-side, which was used by a shoe-maker as his workshop to fix shoes. The man and his son were busy with their work; and after saying, "Good day," we began to talk together.

Before I had been with them long, the old man sent his son out to get something that he needed for his repair. His son was only one kilometre away, but it was too long for the h【1】 shoe-maker to be free. He at last took up a piece of leather and began to work on it, saying, "You know, sir, it will never do to waste time."

As soon as the rain was over, I went on my way home, thinking over what I had heard, "It will never do to waste time." Some people are always lazy, others are lazy only now and then. I was one of the second ones. I couldn't f 【2】 my attention all the time. So the old man's words came home with me and I began to feel how w【3】it was to waste so much of my life in laziness.

I had often heard and read that laziness was great h 【4】; but now I begin to see that it causes far more disadvantages than people are aware of. They don't know the wasted time never goes back.

When a man is busy, he is said to be "occupied." What does that mean? It means that a man at work is like a house with people living in it. When our minds are full of our work, there is no s【5】 for anything else. Laziness, on the other hand, is emptiness; and when the mind is empty, then the doors are thrown open, and bad thoughts come in to influence your pure heart. When it once gets hold of a man, the habit of laziness isn't e【6】 got rid of.

I have made up my mind to follow the shoe-maker's rule for the rest of my life. Although it was very hard at first, I stick to it because I learn to r【7】 myself not to waste time. Above all, I decide that my mind should never be empty.

【题目】 One day, I heard an American boy say to a Chinese girl student, “You speak very good English.” But the girl answered, “No, no. My English is very poor.” The foreigner was quite surprised ________ the answer. Thinking he had not made ________ understood or the girl had not listened to him clearly, he said, “Yes, indeed, you speak very well.” But the girl still kept saying: “No, no.” This time the American boy could not understand and didn’t know ________ to say.

What’s wrong with the girl’s answer? She didn’t ________ a compliment (恭维) in the same way as the American people do. She should answer, “Thank you” instead of “No”. She ________ did understand what the American boy said, but she thought she should be modest (谦虚的). In the ________, people will feel proud (骄傲) and ________ when they are praised (表扬). So if someone says the dishes you cooked are very delicious, you should say, “Thank you.”

In our country we think being modest is a virtue (美德) and being proud is a bad thing. But in my opinion, being confident does not mean being proud, so sometimes you should be confident ________ being modest.

If you are modest and say, “No, I’m afraid I can’t do it” while working in a western country, others may think that you really can’t do it. If you often say “No”, you will certainly be looked down by ________. When asking for a job, if one says something like “Yes, I can certainly do it” instead of “Let me have a try”, he or she will ________. So in the west, you should be brave to show your self-confidence.

【1】A.atB.toC.aboutD.with

【2】A.itselfB.herselfC.himselfD.themselves

【3】A.whenB.whichC.whatD.how

【4】A.receiveB.acceptC.refuseD.disagree

【5】A.hardlyB.reallyC.nearlyD.badly

【6】A.eastB.southC.westD.north

【7】A.excitedB.modestC.shyD.confident

【8】A.as soon asB.as well asC.instead ofD.because of
