27、For many people, the ideal way to do homework involves listening to music. But some parents disagree, saying: “Switch off the music and concentrate!”

Well, if that’s the case with your parents, you might now be able to convince them that you have science on your side.

A new study, conducted by British company Mindlab International, has found that listening to music at work increases accuracy(准确性) and speed, the Telegraph reported.

The company gave 26 participants a series of different tasks for five days in a row, including spell checking, equation (方程式) solving, and mathematical word problems. The participants completed these tasks while listening to one of four music genres (类型), or no music at all. The results showed that while music was playing, 88 percent of participants produced their most accurate test results and 81 percent completed their fastest work.

“The message is that music is a very powerful management tool to increase not only the efficiency of workforce but also your emotional state.” said David Lewis, chairman of Mindlab International.

However, not all genres match all homework. For mathematics, or other subjects involving numbers or attention to detail, you should listen to classical music, the study found. Previous studies had said that listening to Mozart makes a person smarter, and now that conclusion has gained more support. And if you need to finish a paper very soon, say, in an hour, the study said that listening to some pop music might be helpful.

In the study, pop music enabled participants to complete their tasks 58 percent faster than when listening to no music at all. If you’re reviewing your English writing, pop music is also the best choice, as it is the best genre for spell checking. It cut mistakes by 14 percent, compared to listening to no music.

And to check your homework, you should probably listen to some dance music, as this genre resulted in the highest overall accuracy and fastest performance across a range of tasks in the study. In other words, it fits all subjects.

【1】According to David Lewis, listening to music while working ______.

A. improves efficiency and mental state B. increases people’s creativity

C. makes people more emotional D. distracts people’s attention

【2】Which of the following helps you review English words faster and more correctly, according to the article?

A. Listening to Mozart. B. Listening to pop music.

C. Listening to rock music. D. Not listening to music.

【3】The author describes the study by Mindlab International mainly by ______.

A. giving examples using research data B. describing how it was conducted

C. comparing its results with previous studies D. indicating its significance on people’s daily lives

【4】The best title of the article might be ______.

A. Classical music makes you smart B. Listening to music shall be allowed

C. Study about music D. Listening to music helps with homework

28、Zhaobi can be found outside the entrance of a variety of buildings, not to be confused with yingbi which are similar structures found on the other side of the gate, and in their earliest form during the western Zhou dynasty (c.11th century -771BC), were built to serve the function of a wealth and power symbol. They were allowed for only the highest members of society, noblemen, dukes and princes. Seeing zhaobi outside a building would let passers-by know that this is the residence of someone of extreme importance, while also serving the practical function of protecting privacy by blocking the entrance from any spying eyes.

With the passing of time and social changes, by the Tang (618-907) and later Song (960-1279) dynasties, there was less exclusivity about who could build zhaobi, but more importantly there was also a change in the meaning and purpose of the walls. Instead of representing social position, zhaobi took on a more mysterious purpose, coming to play a role in the form of fengshui, a practice which focused on achieving harmony and balance in all things.

It was believed that as well as functioning as a physical block for one’s privacy, zhaobi would act as a deterrent against gui, or wandering dangerous spirits, which would attempt to harm a home, but being unable to turn corners, zhaobi would prevent such action. As well as offering this spiritual protection, their location would allow for better flow of qi, or important energy, helping to conserve it in the building.

Moving further forward in time, zhaobi became more of a form of artistic expression and creativity, with poetry, paintings and characters representing luck and good fortune appearing on the walls, with families using zhaobi as a platform to tell their family history and achievements.

【1】Which of the following can replace the underlined word?

A．strength

B．fortune

C．entrance

D．protection

【2】How many functions of zhaobi are mentioned in the text?

A．4

B．5

C．6

D．7

【3】How is the text developed?

A．By following the time order.

B．By making a comparison

C．By showing examples.

D．By listing figures

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A．The difference between zhaobi and yingbi.

B．The changes in the functions of zhaobi.

C．A general introduction of zhaobi.

D．The long history of zhaobi.

A perfect combination of classic elegance and modernity, it is the best Chinese destination to give you a better understanding of the country.

The unique karst landscape with its four features, namely green hills, clear water, fantastic caves, and oddly-shaped rocks, makes it a famous tourist attraction.

Chengdu
