They are discovering how to design spaces that 41 creativity, keep people focused and relaxed.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can 42 creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a rooms ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may 43 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 44 by a building may influence an occupants 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 45 on a standard test of attention. Studies show that students in classrooms with 46 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 47 roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim light helps people to loosen up. If that is 48 generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase 49 . Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.III. Reading Comprehension Section ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Much time and effort has been devoted to researching the mental health benefits of flexible work environments, but can the ability to leave work early to watch your sons soccer game, or arrive at the office a bit later in the morning in order to 50 some personal matters, have broader physical health benefits 51 making you feel a bit less tired?According to new research published in the Cochrane Librarys Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, it seems so. In a review of 10 previous studies examining the health effects of flexible work conditions for more than 16,000 people, 52 from the U.K.s Durham University and University of Newcastle, as well as the University of Montreal, found that flexible work schedules when employees can 53 their starting times, for example were associated with improvements in a persons overall health. And, perhaps unsurprisingly, in all of the studies included in the review, researchers found no evidence for 54 effects of more flexible work schedules.This initial analysis was intended to throw light on the potential health benefits of flexible work options, which are increasingly 55 throughout Scandinavia, and have recently gained some ground in the U.K. 56 , last April, the British government 57 a policy that allowed parents of children ages six and under to request flexible work arrangements to include parents of children ages 16 and younger. In the U.S., the phenomenon is a bit slower to catch on. Yet, the economic slowdown of recent years may have contributed to 58 in workplace flexibility as companies 59 to reward employees with bonuses(奖金) or raises may 60 other forms of compensation(补偿), Reuters reported early last year.Previous research too, of course, has indicated the benefits of flexible work environments toward positive mental health outcomes. And while these latest findings are promising, the researchers stress that more study is vital to understanding the detailed 61 between flexible work and improved health outcomes. To truly 62 the benefits of flexible working conditions, the researchers say, additional study analyzing health outcomes among a wide 63 of workers from high-ranking executives to hourly employees is 64 , which helps to gain a deeper understanding of the issue, and to shape future workplace policy.50.

Once doctors arrive, the chip will also be able to tell them which drugs are not suitable for little Jonny or Janie. At the hospital, the chip will tell doctors his or her complete medical history. And of course, when you arrive to pick up your child, setting the hospital bill with your health insurance policy will be a simple matter of waving your own chip _ the one embedded(植入) in your hand.To some, this may sound unbelievable. But the technology for such chips is no longer the stuff of science fiction. And it may soon offer many other benefits besides locating lost children or elderly patients. It could be used as credit cards and people wont have to carry wallets anymore.On the other hand, some are already wondering what this sort of technology may do to the sense of personal privacy and liberty.“Any technology of this kind could result in abuse of personal privacy,” says Lee Tien, senior staff lawyer for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “If a kid can be tracked, do you want other people to be able to track your kid? Its a double-edged sword.”Applied Digital Solutions, Inc. in Palm Beach, Florida, says it has recently applied to the Food and Drug Admission for permission to begin testing its device in humans. About the size of a grain of rice, the microchip can be coded with bits of information and embedded in humans under a layer of skin. When scanned by a nearby reader, the embedded chip gives the data.Most embedded chip designs are so-called passive chips, which give information only when scanned by a nearby reader. But active chips _ such as the proposed Digital Angel of the future _ will give out information all the time. And that means designers will have to develop some sort of power source that can provide a continuous source of energy, yet be small enough to be embedded with the chips.In addition to technical problems, many suspect that all sorts of legal and privacy
