【題目】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 (經(jīng)驗(yàn)的，實(shí)證的) 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 50 feet 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.”

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

A. Light. B. Ceilings.

C. Windows. D. Furniture.

【2】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

【3】The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means 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 patterns

【題目】 Grammarphobia is the fear of grammar. This fear attacks almost everybody at one time or another, and it's most likely to strike during English or language arts classes. Even people who love reading and writing have been known to get feverish and insecure when they are aware of the possibility of turning in homework with grammar or spelling mistakes. Though writing may be enjoyable, being corrected is definitely not!

Grammarphobes, it's time to put your fears behind you. Grammar isn't that dreadful (可怕的). Here's why.

Let's assume you like hearing and telling stories and that you enjoy joking with friends. You probably also like emailing and instantmessaging. Well, what do you think makes all these possible? Grammar!

Grammar is simply the art of putting words together to make sentences. Whenever you use words to express yourself, you're using grammar. You do this all the time without even thinking.

So why think about it? Because good grammar helps you convey the ideas you intend. If your words aren't right, or if they are not in the right order, the person you are talking to might get the wrong idea. This can have embarrassing results.

Grammar helps us understand each other. It's like a manual (手冊(cè)) for assembling the words in your head. You have to put your words together the right way if you want them to make sense. They can't do what you want if they aren't put together correctly.

What if everybody you know had a different manual? How would you agree on what others' words mean? People with different grammar manuals might be speaking different languages.

Communicating is similar to playing cards. To make sense, we have to play the same game, by the same rules. What are the rules for playing the game of English? You already know most of them without having to open a book.

【1】Grammarphobes refer to people who ________.

A. consider grammar to be boring

B. are afraid of making grammar mistakes

C. mind grammar too much in writing

D. are worried about grammar homework

【2】 The underlined word “assembling” in Paragraph 6 may mean ________.

A. directing B. remembering

C. looking for D. bringing together

【3】What does playing cards have in common with communicating?

A. Both can be learned easily.

B. Both can be interesting games.

C. Both need standards.

D. Both can make sense for our life.

【4】What might be the main idea of the passage?

A. Grammar is not horrible.

B. Forgetting grammar when writing.

C. Improving grammar through writing.

D. What is grammarphobia?
