Do you know where J. K. Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books She wrote the first book in a coffee shop. Was it because she felt more creative when working there The answer might be yes!
Scientists from the University of Illinois found that moderate(适度的) noise can make people more creative, The New York Times reported. Scientists did tests on students. They put them into four groups. They then asked the students to do creative work. But each group did the work with different volumes(音量) of background noise. They found that students did best when working under moderate noise—70 decibels(分贝, dB). This is about the same volume of background noise in a cafe. Students did worse in low noise (50 dB). This is the volume of a quiet room. They did the poorest when in a high-noise (85 dB) environment. This is the noise level in a factory. Moderate noise can distract(使……分心) people just enough so that they think more creatively. “It helps you think outside the box, ” Raci Mehta, a lead researcher in the study, said to the Business Standard. On the one hand, working in a very quiet place can strengthen(加强) our focus. But it also stops us from thinking abstractly(抽象地). “This is why if you are too focused on a problem and you can’t solve it, ” said Mehta, “You leave it for some time and then come back to it and you get the solution. ”
However, the scientists said that when you need to do detailed(细致的) things, like proofreading(校对) a paper, a quiet place is better than a noisy one.
根据语篇内容, 判断下列句子正(T)误(F)。
(T)1. J. K. Rowling chose to write books in a coffee shop maybe because she thought it can make her more active.
(T)2. Scientists from a university found that moderate noise can distract people and make people more creative.
(F)3. The tests show that students who worked below high-noise (85 dB) did worst.
(T)4. According to Raci Mehta, working in moderate noise helps you think outside the box.
(T)5. If you have some detailed work to do, you’d better choose a quiet place.

What would you do if you had trouble seeing clearly You would probably go to an eye doctor who might give you glasses. For many people around the world, however, such a way isn’t that simple.
The World Health Organization reports that glasses can help one billion people in the world. Yet places like Ghana have only one eye doctor every 8 million people. This makes glasses almost impossible to get. Joshua Silver, a teacher at Oxford University, however, may have solved the problem.
Mr Silver has developed liquid(液体)-filled glasses that users can adjust(调整) by themselves without seeing a doctor!The lenses(镜片) are filled with oil. Using a dial on the glasses, the user changes the amount of oil. This changes the strength(度数) of the lens. After the user finds the right strength, he then fixes the lens.
Results show that among those who have tried the glasses, around 80% are satisfied. Mr Silver’s goal is for everyone who still needs glasses to have such glasses as soon as possible. With a little more effort, Mr Silver thinks that his goal might be achieved in the near future.
(C)6. What does the underlined word “This” in the second paragraph(段落) mean
A. Glasses can help many people.
B. Mr Silver has solved the problem.
C. There are not enough eye doctors.
(B)7. What is the third paragraph mainly about
A. Who the new glasses are used by.
B. How the new glasses are used.
C. Why the new glasses were made.
(A)8. What can we know from the passage
A. The new glasses can do good to large numbers of people.
B. The new glasses must be adjusted by eye doctors.
C. Oil is not necessary for the new glasses.
(C)9. What does Mr Silver think of the new glasses
A. He thinks they’re the best of all.
B. He’s completely uncertain about them.
C. He thinks they have a bright future.
(A)10. What will Mr Silver do next according to the last paragraph
A. He will let more people own the new glasses.
B. He will invent another new kind of glasses.
C. He will decide the price of the new glasses.
