I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.A young couple viewing the paintings in front of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired(钦佩) the husbands patience for standing her continuous talk. Distracted(分心) by their noise, I moved on.I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant(不变的；持续的) burst of words, I_moved_away_quicklyI was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop buying things when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended(伸展) it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wifes jacket.“Hes a brave man.” The clerk at the counter said, “Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldnt change. So, as before, he and his wife come in whenever theres a new art show.”“But what does he get out of the art？” I asked, “He cant see.”“Cant see? Youre wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting, so he can see it in his head.”I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.36 . The young couple were at an art museum _Ato show their loveBto enjoy the paintingsCto practice talkingDto buy some gifts37 . “I moved away quickly” in Paragraph 3 shows that the writer _Awas in the hope of visiting more roomsBwas in a hurry to buy some giftsCwas tired of the nonstop talkingDwas not interested in the art show38 .

What classroom environments are most helpful to learning? Most experts agree that having the right team of people to come up with ideas to argue for plays an important role to find out the answers. However, how do we know who the right people are when making a team? From the classroom and the workplace, to the laboratory and the playing field, research shows that diverse groups of people often make better decisions. Professor Scott Page believes different ways of thinking from a particular group produces something additional. When people with their own tools come together to work on difficult tasks, the results are powerful. Groups with different genders(性别) also hold merit here. Christine Lagarde said that better decisions are made when women and men come together at the table, creating what she calls a larger horizon. She mentioned that while women make up only 2% of bank CEOs worldwide, banks who count women among the top leadership are likely to have better economic outcomes( 结果). In 2010, researchers examined the performance of about 700 people (both men and women), working in groups of two to five, solving both simple and difficult tasks. They discovered that the best predictor of performance wasnt the average intelligence of group members. Instead it was a collective measure of intelligence, which had much to do with the number of women in the group. As women are good at reading others faces and making the best of different opinions, they help to bring out a more productive outcome. Finally, it turns out that the size of the group matters, too. Smaller groups can actually be more creative. A new study from University of Chicago found that while bigger teams are important for advancing science, smaller groups help break it down-a key part of creativity. In todays workforce, people come together to cooperate on tough tasks, being encouraged to look to each other. Brainstorming with others in small, diverse groups helps ideas to shine in our mind and, more often than not, leads to the solution. Its a research-driven model for how to develop our collective problem-solving abilities by having the right teams of people producing good ideas worth fighting for.41 . The underlined word diverse groups in Paragraph 2 probably means _.Agroups in which people have a close relationBgroups with people who like thinking and sharingCgroups in which people are different from each otherDgroups with people who are good at solving problems42 . What can we learn from the research in 2010?AGroups with both genders make teamwork more fruitful.BWomen are better at reading and accepting others minds.CThe average intelligence of group members really matters.DBanks should depend more on women in decision-making.43 . What does the writer mainly want to show us?AWomen in a group influence the collective inte
