【题目】What did your school smell like? Was it noisy or peaceful? It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an impact on learning, performance and creativity．
Bridget Shield has been conducting studies and advising people on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens, as well as noise made by the children themselves． "Everything points to a harmful impact of the noise on children’s performance, in numeracy, in literacy, and in spelling,” says Shield．
Shield says the sound of “babble” －the chatter of other children, is particularly distracting in the classroom．。People are very distracted by speech-particularly if it is understandable, but you’re not involved in it．” This phenomenon is also known as the irrelevant speech effect, she says, adding that “it’s a very common finding in open-plan offices as well．’’
In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low． Loud background noise, however, damaged their creativity． Ravi Mehta suggests there maybe some benefit to playing music or other sounds in an art class or other situations where creativity is the key．
Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class． Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in their tasks, the so-called Mozart effect． While the evidence actually suggests it’s a guess to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers do think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Ravi Mehta," If you like the music or you like the sound-even listening to a Stephen King novel-then you did better． It didn’t matter about the music,“ he says．
However, it’s worth considering that music is not always helpful while you’re trying to work． Trying to perform a task which involves serial recall - for instance, doing mental mathematics-will be distracted by sounds with audio variation, says Ravi Mehta． Songs with lyrics, on the other hand, are more likely to interfere（干扰）with tasks that involve languages-such as reading comprehension．
This isn’t the only sense being related to affecting learning．
【1】The second paragraph implies that _________.
A．general noise also has a harmful effect．
B．students are sensitive to noise．
C．some children need special sounds to do tasks．
D．children aren't affected by their own noise．
【2】The irrelevant speech effect refers to the fact that _________.
A．you don’t understand what others are talking
B．you are interrupted by the chatting of others
C．you are unwilling to chat with other people
D．you find what others are talking irrelevant to you
【3】According to the text, Ravi Mehta believes that __________.
A．music matters when you want to do better．
B．music will help you do mental arithmetic．
C．any music can be beneficial as long as you like it．
D．songs with lyrics will improve your reading comprehension．
【4】What might be discussed in the following paragraph?
A．Whether music is helpful all the time．
B．What sound can promote a person’s creativity．
C．When smell can improve students’ behavior．
D．How smell affects children’s performance．

【题目】Whether you’re eating at a fancy restaurant or dining in someone’s home，proper table manners are likely to help you make a good impression．According to a US expert，Emily Post，“All rules of table manners are made to avoid ugliness．”
While Henry Hitchings of the Los Angeles Times admits that good manners can reduce social conflict，he points out that mostly their purpose is protective – they turn our natural warrior like selves into more elegant ones．
So where did table manners come from？
In medieval England，a writer named Petrus Alfonsi took the lead to urge people not to speak with their mouths full．And King David I of Scotland also proposed that any of his people who learned to eat more neatly be given a tax deduction (减除)．
Disappointingly，that idea never caught on．It was during the Renaissance，when there were real technical developments，opinions of correct behavior changed for good． “None of these was more significant than the introduction of the table fork,” wrote Hitchings．“Gradually，as forks became popular，they brought the new way of eating，making it possible，for instance，to consume berries without making one’s fingers dirty．”
Forks were introduced to Britain in 1608 and 25 years later，the first table fork reached America． Yet while most of the essentials (基本要素) are the same on both sides of the Atlantic，there are a few clear differences between what’s normal in the US and what holds true in the UK．For example，in the US，when food needs cutting with a knife，people generally cut a bite，then lay aside the knife and switch the fork to their right hand． Then they pick up one bite at a time．By contrast，Britons keep the fork in the left hand and don’t lay the knife down．
Though globalization has developed a new，simpler international standard of table manners，some people still stick with the American cut and switch method． The Los Angeles Times noted，“They are hanging on to a form of behavior that favors manners above efficiency．”
【1】What does the story mainly talk about？
A. The importance of proper table manners．
B. The development of table manners in Western countries．
C. Some unwritten rules of table manners in the US and UK．
D. Differences between American and British table manners．
【2】The underlined phrase “caught on” in the passage probably means ______．
A. worked in practice
B. became popular
C. drew attention
D. had a positive effect
【3】Which of the following events influenced people’s table manners most according to the article？
A. The introduction of forks．
B. The tax deduction policy．
C. The rise of the Renaissance．
D. Petrus Alfonsi’s efforts in promoting table manners．
【4】What can we conclude from the article？
A. British and American table manners are completely different from each other．
B. American people pay more attention to their table manners than British people do．
C. With globalization，the American cut and switch method has been abandoned in the US．
D. British people’s way of using a knife and fork may be more efficient than American people’s．
