【题目】 Do you ever hope to have a chair right for you when standing for too long?1

The different chair was made in a company in Switzerland. The company's boss Keith Gunura said the idea came from his work experience when he was young.2The place was not big enough for all the workers to sit on chairs, and it was tiring for him to stand for several hours at a time.3Then the Chairless Chair came out. As its name implied, it doesn't look like a chair at all. 4When you want to sit down, just push a button, and it will move and work like a chair. The Chairless Chair is only two kilograms, so it doesn't make you feel anything different.

The Chairless Chair definitely moves more easily than a traditional folding chair. 5Most of them are the people who need to stand at work for a long time.

A.With a belt, it can be tied along your body.

B.Well, a special chair has come to the world.

C.At that time, Keith worked in a packing factory.

D.Now many people are waiting in line to have one.

E.He decided to make a chair that can move around with him.

【题目】 Do you know where J.K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books? She wrote the first books in a coffee shop. Was it because she felt more creative when working there? The answer might be yes!

Scientists from the University of Illinois found that moderate (适度的) noise can make people more creative, the New York Times reported.

Scientists did tests on students. They divided them into four groups. They then asked the students to do certain tasks involving creative thinking. But each group did the task with different volumes (音量) of background noise.

They found that students did best when working under moderate noise —70 decibels (分贝). This is about the same volume of background noise in a cafe. Students did worse in low noise (50 db). This is the volume of a quiet room. They did the poorest when in a high-noise (85 db) environment. This is the noise level in a factory.

Moderate noise can distract (分心) people just enough so that they think more creatively. “It helps you think outside the box,” Raci Mehta, a lead researcher in the study, said to the Business Standard.

On the one hand, working in a very quiet place can strengthen our focus. But it also stops us from thinking abstractly (抽象地).

“This is why if you are too focused on a problem and you can’t solve it,” said Mehta, “You leave it for some time and then come back to it and you get the solution.”

However, the scientists said that when you need to do detailed things, like proofreading (校对) a paper, a quiet place is better than a noisy one.

1What can we tell from the first paragraph?

A.J.K. Rowling likes drinking coffee.B.Drinking coffee helps people become creative.

C.The best novels are born in coffee shops.D.Moderate noise makes people creative.

2The underlined word “involving” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by the word “________”.

A.referring toB.includingC.in order toD.even

3Which volume of background noise helps students do the best at creative tasks?

A.85 db.B.70 db.C.50 db.D.0 db.

4Which of the following is TRUE when working in a very quiet place?

A.It can help people think outside the box.B.It can make people think abstractly.

C.It can help people find the solution easily.D.It can help people focus on their work.

5What is the main idea of the story?

A.How to work under a moderate noise level.

B.Why J. K. Rowling likes to write stories in a coffee shop.

C.Why moderate noise is good for creative thinking.

D.How scientists tested students’ learning abilities.
