Happy background music can help people get the creative juice flowing.Simone Ritter, at Radboud University in the Netherlands, and Sam Ferguson at the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, have been studying the effect of silence and different types of music on how we think.They divided 155 volunteers into five groups.Four of these were each given a type of music to listen to while taking a series of tests, while the fifth group did the tests in silence.The tests were produced to judge two types of thinking:divergent thinking, which refers to the process of creating new ideas, and convergent thinking, which is how we find the best solution to a problem.Ritter and Ferguson found that people were more creative when listening to music they thought was positive, coming up with more special ideas than the people who worked in silence.“We also performed other types of music that were sad, anxious and calm, and didnt see this effect,”says Ferguson.“It seems that the type of music present is important, rather than just any music.”In addition, no type of music helped convergent thinking, suggesting that its better to solve problems in silence.Ritter and Ferguson write that their finding could be used to improve creative thinking in places like educational institutions or laboratories, but Irma at the University of Helsinki in Finland, says happy music may help creativity by setting off the release of dopamine, a brain chemical involved in pleasure and relief.“Dopamine also increases creative thinking and goal-directed working,”says Irma.And she also thinks happy music may not help convergent thinking because this kind of thinking relies more on logic and less on creativity.21. How does happy background music help people work?A.By making people enjoy the juice.B.By influencing peoples behavior.C.By inspiring people to work less.D.By improving peoples creativity.22. What can we learn from the passage?A.Dopamine can direct our convergent thinking.B.Divergent thinking helps find the best solution.C.Divergent thinking helps produce the new ideas.D.Dopamine can reduce our divergent thinking.23. What could be the best title for the passage?A.Happy Music Makes You Lively B.Happy Music Excites Your CreativityC.Happy Music Keeps You Clever D.Happy Music Simplifies Your WorkBI was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association. Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.I could see no call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the towns only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his facehe was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didnt even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. Carefully and surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.24. The author was walking through the small seaside town_.A. late morningB. before midnightC. early morningD. late evening25. The weather of the day was _, when the story happened.A. stormy, damp and clear B. windy, cold and cloudy C. rainy, cold and clear D. rainy, windy and cold26. Why was the author astonished when he saw that there was a man in the call box? Because _.A. the man inside was still wearing a raincoatB. he didnt expect it to be taken upC. the man had his back with himD. the man did not seem to be moving27. The author waited, standing a few feet away from the box because _.A. it was bad manners to overhear others phone callsB. the man didnt notice his comingC. he wanted to have a cigarette to calm himself downD. it was not safe to be close to the boxCWe once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.“You could win prizes,” our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster.”We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while we conjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. Im going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewers attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then alwaysalwaysrewarding the same old winners.I believe I drew a sailboat, but I cant say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.Minutes passed.No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.I was still sitting at my desk, thinking. What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.28. What was the teachers requirement for the poster?A. It must appear in time.B. It must be done in class.C. It must be done on a construction sheet.D. It must include the words on the blackboard.29. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 3 most probably means _.A. formed an idea forB. made an outline forC. made some space forD. chose some colors for30. After seeing the good students designs, some students_.A. loved their own designs moreB. thought they had a fair chanceC. put their own designs in a cornerD. thought they would not win the prize31. We can infer from the passage that the author_.A. enjoyed grown up tricks very muchB. loved poster competitions very muchC. felt surprised to win the competitionD. became wise and rich after the competitionDHave you ever thought why there are very few great people? I think there is probably only one great person out of 10,000 at best and most probably much less than that. Most people want to be great, right? But why only very few of them become great? Here is the reason: most people do not pay the price of greatness.I think this one is quite obvious. Now, the next question is: if there are so many people who want to be great, why only very few of them actually pay the price? The answer to the question explains the difference between the almost 100% people who want to be great and the much less than 0.01% people who actually can be so.The reason why very few people actually pay the price is this: the road to greatness is continuously painful for a long time. Greatness requires sacrifices(牺牲) and there is no sacrifice without pain. This kind of sacrifice makes the process continuously painful for a long time. If you want to be good, it will be painful only every now and then and many people can still handle it. But being great is a totally different level. The pain is much deeper and it is continuous. Very few people can endure this kind of pain and thats why there are very few great people. Most people naturally choose things that bring pleasure to them. Its unnatural to choose pain over pleasure, let alone doing it continuously for a long time.But thats what I believe is the secret to greatnesschoosing pain over pleasure continuously for a long time.32. The reason why there are very few great people is that_.A. only less than 0.01% people actually want to be greatB. most people have no ability to be greatC. most people are not willing to experience the hardship to be greatD. only less than 0.01% people have the ability to be great33. Which of the following sayings would the author agree to according to the passage?A. No pains, no gains.B. Do one thing at a time and do well.C. Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well.D. Never put off what you can do today until tomorrow.34. To be great, all that it takes is _.A. to suffer only every now and then B. to be very cleverC. to get along well with othersD. to choose pain instead of pleasure for a long time35. The underlined word “endure” in the passage is closest to “_” in meaning.A. remain alive or continue to exist for a long timeB. be in a difficult or painful situation for a long time without complainingC. get over something unpleasantD. deal with something unpleasant第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Have you ever had the following experience?
