Perhaps, some parents disagree with this idea, saying, Switch off the music and concentrate! Well, if thats the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side. The pany gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, mathematical word problems, data entry, and abstract reasoning. The participants pleted these tasks while listening to music or no music at all. The results showed that while music was playing, 88% of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81% pleted their fastest work. David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International, told The Telegraph, Music is a very powerful management tool if you want to increase not only the efficiency of your workforce but also their emotional state. they are going to bee more positive about the work. However, you may have a list of your favorite songs, but not all kinds of music match all homework. For maths or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. In the study, pop music enabled participants to plete their tasks 58% faster than when listening to no music at all. If you are reviewing your English writing, pop music is the best choice, as it is the best kind for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14%, pared to listening to no music.

Zoology, or the study of animals, is a wide field with many specialties, including research, conservation (保护), veterinary (兽医的) medicine, and the care of animals. For people with a love of animals and some training, dreams of careers in zoology may e true. Some careers in zoology focus on research and scientific studies. These careers may allow those with a good theoretical science background to develop and run studies that improve human understanding of the animal world. Research in zoology can help create safer and more effective products for animals or can teach humans more about animal behavior in order to aid in conservation, breeding programs, and habitat preservation.Careers in zoology that focus on conservation attach great importance to the continued survival and increased protection of animal species. Conservationists may work with political groups or governments to help make laws to protect and preserve animals, or may work in the field gathering information on potential threats to the health of global ecosystems. Some conservationists work in educational fields, trying to improve human efforts to save animals from extinction. Animals are subject to (易患) illness and injury, and some careers in zoology help to create a safe, stable animal population.Veterinary medicine is an important specialty field, and may take several years of intensive training to qualify as a certified veterinarian. While many veterinarians focus on the small-animal practice of domestic pets, vets in rural areas often work with large farm animals and more adventurous veterinarians may work with exotic (外来的) species in zoos and wildlife preserves. Humans love to observe animals, and modern-day zoos and wildlife preserves help meet that interest while providing facilities to assist with conservation programs. Zoology careers in zoos can range from overseeing (监督) breeding programs, to creating the proper diet for a deer, to cleaning the tigers cage. Many volunteer and entry-level jobs are available for people that love animals.8.What is the purpose of researching on animals in zoology?A.To help governments make laws.B.To improve researchers scientific knowledge.C.To create safe and effective products for humans.D.To educate people to protect animals.9.What can careers in zoology that focus on veterinary medicine help?A.

D. 11.What does the passage mainly present?A.Volunteers passion for zoology.B.A new idea of careers in zoology.C.Different types of careers in zoology.D.Effective measures of animal protection.DThe word“diary”es from the Latin word “diarium”, which means “daily allowance”. It refers to a book for disconnected writings by date and is used for business notes, planning activities, keeping track of scheduled appointments, or documenting what has already happened.In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express ones deepest thoughts while keeping marks about the day. In those times, and even continuing on today, writing in a diary was like writing to a special friend. Many times, movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, “Dear diary,” What followed was a brief statement of the day,usually filled with emotion. Those private reflections may have historical significance long after the authors death. A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in the World War II. Her diary became one of the worlds most widely read books and is the basis for many films. Semuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th Century, is the earliest diary-keeper that is famous today. His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight into Londons Great Plague and the Great Fire. Pepys took diary writing from the realmof business to the individual. His diary is being published on the Internet, and its interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of xx. It will continue over the course of several years to e. Reading his diary is fascinating, and it makes his life all the more real to us.Todays electronic version of the diary, the web log, or “blog” has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the days events. There are blogs to document recipes, traveling, movies, independent news, product announcements, photos, and anything else that needs to be recorded over time. Search engines like Technorati. have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public. In its newest replacement, the diary has bee more popular than ever.12.Generally what is a diary used for?A. Taking business notes. B. Planning activities.C. Keeping daily happenings. D. Confirming the appointments.13.Which of the following can replace the underlined word“realm”in the fourth paragraph?A. kingdom. B. field. C. department. D. land.14.Why does the author mention Anne Franks diary in the third paragraph?A. To let us know the popularity of her diary.B. To show us the invaluable lessons about the history.C. To present her dramatic and interesting experience during the War.D. To emphasis the importance of keepingdiaries for historical purposes.15. What can we know about the blog?A.It has been more widely accepted by the public.B.Technorati is the only search engine created for it.C.The diary remains the same form but still popular.D.Nothing but the individual daily events can be recorded.第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。The Lost Rules of EtiquetteEtiquette, or good manners, used to be the glue that held society together._16_ Sadly, these days it has mostly gone by the wayside.
