the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. but now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的, 实证的) 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 rooms 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 addition to ceiling height, the view afforded 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 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 that 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 were 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? thats what were 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 peoples feelingsb. lower ceilings may help improve students creativityc. children in a

the following shows the organization of the passage? cp:central pointp:pointsp:sub-point(次要点)c:conclusion【参考答案】27.1-4 badc阅读理解 it is reported that conservation groups in north america have been arguing about the benefits and dangers of wolves. some groups believe wolves should be killed. other people believe wolves must be protected so that they will not disappear from the wilderness (荒野)

waste has been a problem since humans started producing it.as more and more people choose to live close together in cities,the waste-disposal problem becomes increasingly difficult. during the eighteenth century,it was usual for several neighboring towns to get together to select a faraway spot as a dump site.residents or trash haulers (垃圾拖运者)would transport household rubbish,rotted wood,and old possessions to the site.periodically(定期的)some of the trash was burned and the rest was buried.the unpleasant sights and smells caused no problem because nobody lived close by. factories,mills,and other industrial sites also had waste to be disposed of.those located on rivers often just dumped the unwanted remains into the water.others built huge burners with chimneys to deal with the problem. several facts make these choices unacceptable to modern society.the first problem is space dumps,which are now called landfills,are most needed in heavily populated areas.such areas rarely have empty land suitable for this purpose.property is either too expensive or too close to residential(住宅区的) neighborhoods.long-distance trash hauling has been a common practice but once farm areas are refusing to accept rubbish from elsewhere,cheap land within trucking distance of major city areas is almost nonexistent. awareness(意识) of pollution dangers has resulted in more strict rules of waste disposal. pollution of rivers,ground water,land and air is a price people can no longer pay to get rid of waste. the amount of waste,however,continues to grow. recycling efforts have
