one way to test this would be for a person to journey across the us without any money, just relying on the others good will. what would happen? the idea interested me. so i decided to really do it. without a penny, for six weeks i hitched 82 rides and covered 4,223 miles across 14 states. i would only accept offers of rides, food and places to sleep. i found people were generally compassionate. hearing i had no money and would accept none, people bought me food and gave me necessities. those who had the least to give often gave the most. in nebraska, a house painter named mike noted the freezing weather and gave me a big army-style jacket. a lumber-mill worker in michigan named tim invited me to a simple dinner with his family in their shabby house. then he offered me a tent. i was treated kindly everywhere i went, amazed by peoples readiness to help a stranger and feeling grateful to all the warm-hearted people. my faith in ordinary folks was renewed. it turns out you can still depend on the kindness of strangers.56. how did the author felt days after he refused to give the young man a ride? a. guilty. b. worried. c. confused. d. satisfied.57. why did the author decide to go on a hitchhiking journey without any money? a. to test his doubts about peoples kindness. b. to experience the fun of hitchhiking. c. to call for trust and love among people. d. to have a cool and romantic journey.58. the underlined word “compassionate” in paragraph 5 most probably means _. a. reliable b. warm-hearted c. loyal d. responsible59. during the authors journey, _. a. his puzzle about people strengthened b. he found poor people more eager to help c. he learned many survival skills d. he didnt receive as much help as he had expected60. which can be the best title of the story?a. a crazy journey. b. never get involved.c. sweet memories. d. believe in peoples kindness.b if you are looking for a creative solution to a piece of work or a school assignment, dont lock yourself up in a quiet room. a new study suggests that moderate background noise is a better motivation to creative thinking than the sound of silence, time magazine reported. a paper published in the journal of consumer research says that the perfect working environment should buzz（嗡嗡作响）with a little noise. researchers found that test subjects were at their most creative state when background noise was measured at 70 decibels, the level one might find in a busy coffee shop. a nearly silent environment (50 decibels) was too quiet. turning up the volume to 85 decibels (a jackhammer tearing up the pavement outside your building) had an opposite effectthe noise became a distraction. the researchers asked 65 students at the university of british columbia, canada, to perform various creative tasks while noises recorded at a roadside restaurant were played in the background. in one experiment, scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress （气垫）. test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud. while a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book, the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively, without breaking their focus so completely that they cant think at all. should we all head for starbucks to get creative?
