    We still don’t understand the influence of the mind’s power over the body, nor do we understand why there should be such power. All we can say for certain is that the mind does have power over the body in very many different ways.

       If a man is told that he is at the North Pole and he believes what he is told, he’ll show physical signs which suggest that his body is reacting as though he were at the North Pole. He’ll go pale and shiver. When the film Lawrence of Arabia was shown, cinema managers around the world reported that the sales of ice cream rocketed. The endless desert scenes had made the moviegoers feel uncomfortably hot.

       Hypnotists use the power of the mind over the body in order to use their influence. The hypnotist must only convince the patient that something is true, and the patient will act accordingly. If he convinces the patient that his arms are as heavy as lead, then the patient will be unable to lift his arms. If he convinces the patient that a piece of ice is a hot iron and he then touches the patient’s skin with the ice, a blister(水泡)will develop. The body will react to the suggestion and not to the reality, and signs of a real burn will appear.

  59. From the passage, we can imagine that people watching a film about the North Pole would probably want __________.

       A. an ice cream            B. a cold shower

       C. a hot drink              D. a hot iron

  60. A hypnotist is supposed to be able to control __________.

       A. patients’ bodies              B. people’s minds

       C. patients’ diseases            D. people’s movements

  61. The phrase “the reality” refers to __________.

       A. a real burn        B. a hot iron

       C. the touch of ice              D. the body’s reaction

  62. A good title for this passage would be __________.

       A. Mind and Body        B. Physical Signs

       C. Research on Mind           D. The Power of the Mind

   Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems.  For example , too many tourists can crowed public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country.

It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attracts tourists. Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. I f tourism grows too quickly. people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country's economy can suffer.

It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads, and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example , a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build .If the room is not used most of the time , the owners of the hotel will lose money.

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feeling

Architects have long had the feeling that the place we live in can affect our thoughts, feeling 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 2009, 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 addition 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 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 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 that 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 are 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 ,generalize use of them?” That is what we are all struggling with”

57. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?

A. Light     B. Ceilings.      C. Windows.     D. Furniture

58.The passage tells us that____________.

A.the shape of furniture may affect people’s feelings

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

59.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably mean that_______.

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

D.research in this area is not enough to make generalized pattems

60.Which of the following shows the organization of the passage?
