Now we are learning that its not just laughter. Having fun and playing are also good for us! Researchers have found that play is good for people of all ages. Play actually leads to the growth of more nerve connections in the brain and gives us more brain power.Play is necessary during childhood. As children play, they learn how to make friends and relate to others. They develop their imaginations and become more creative. Kids carry these qualities with them as they grow older.Amy Whitcomb teaches maths at a school in San Francisco. For several years, she has used games to teach maths. In one class, students play a game with small bags of candy to figure out how many pieces in the bags are red. When they get the correct answer, they can eat the candy! Amy says, ”If its not fun, theyre not going to want to be there. Theyre not going to want to learn.”The spirit of playfulness continues through the teenage years into adulthood (成人期). The famous company Google, for example, keeps a lot of toys and games at different places in their offices and encourages people to use them. Their motto is “Work hard. Play hard.” They know that people often get their best ideas when they are just “playing around ” and let their imaginations go wild.So next time you have to solve a difficult maths problem or cant think of a topic for an article, take a short play break. Do a little dance, or play a quick game. Then come back to it. Maybe youll be surprised at what your brain can do.（1）The example of the company Google is given to show that _.A . play is also fit for adultsB . everyone there works hardC . they have a lot of toys and gamesD . it is very famous in the world（2）The underlined expression “figure out” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A . look afterB . solve the problem ofC . draw a picture ofD . play a joke on（3）According to the passage, you need to play if you _.A . want to make friends with othersB . have to do some homeworkC . fail to think of a topic for an articleD . find a job in a big company（4）Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A .
