• 2．If you are looking for a creative solution to a piece of work or a school assignment，don't lock yourself up in a quiet room.
      A new study shows that moderate background noise is a better motivation to creative thinking than the sound of silence，a well-known magazine reported.
      A paper published in the Journal of Consumer Research says that the perfect working environment should buzz（嗡嗡作响） with a little noise.
      Researchers found that test subjects were at their most creative state when background noise was measured a 70 decibels，the level one might find in a busy coffee shop.
      A nearly silent environment（50 decibels） was too quiet.Turning up the volume to85 decibels （a jackhammer tearing up the pavement outside your building） had an opposite effect—the noise became a distraction（分散注意力）.
      The researchers asked 65 students at the University of British Columbia，Canada，to perform various creative tasks while noises recorded at a roadside restaurant were played in the background.
      In one experiment，scientists asked participants to brainstorm ideas for a new type of mattress（气垫）.Test subjects had the most successful discussions when the noise in the background was noticeable but not too loud.
      While a quiet environment may make it easier to read a book，the authors of the study say that moderate background noise creates just enough of a distraction to force people to think more imaginatively without breaking their focus so completely that they can't think at all.
      Should we all head for Starbucks to get creative？Not necessarily.
      Researchers found limited work time surrounded by the low-level noise of a coffeehouse is what really stimulates creativity.
      Equally，working in a café environment isn't good for everybody.The productivity boost（提高） was most obvious among those who were naturally creative to begin with.
  
  （1）What's the main idea of the passage？

  
  A.The less noise，the better state of study.
  B.Noise is no bad thing at any time.
  C.Noise in the coffeehouse is enjoyable.
  D.Moderate noise helps creativity.
  （2）The recommended level of background noise is

  .
  A.50 decibels
  B.65 decibels
  C.70 decibels
  D.85 decibels
  （3）The underline word "stimulate" can be replaced by

  .
  A.copy
  B.increase
  C.link
  D.decrease
  （4）According to the last three paragraphs，

  .
  A.the low-level noise of a coffeehouse may be too loud for people to work with
  B.if a person is not a creative type，then background noise is of no help to them
  C.a person's own creativity ability is as important as the environment they are in
  D.working in a coffeehouse is creative for most people

• 4．Losing something is quite common among people.It can be a very anxious experience.If someone finds it and returns it to you，it is often a great relief.The government in Guangzhou has created a new rule to call on more people to return lost objects.The rule says that people who hand in lost belongings will get 1 O percent of the thing's value as a reward（奖励）from public security authorities（公安部门）.If the owner can't be found in the end，the finder will still be rewarded with 10 percent of the object's value after it is sold.The rewards will come from the government.
     The rule has caused public discussion.The people who disagree say that it will take away the act of its nobility（高尚）.They also think such good behaviors should be done out of kindness，Qianjiang Evening News reported.
     However，there are also people who welcome the rule，saying it will encourage more people to do the right thing，Beijing Daily reported.After all，not everybody is willing to return lost things to the owners Finders will have to take care of lost objects and spend time looking for their owners.The rule gives finders the right to ask for a reward，which is in the best interest of both sides.
     Countries like Japan and Italy already have similar laws.According to Japan's Lost Goods Law people who find a lost object should quickly return it to the owner or turn it over to the police.The owner should provide the finder with a reward of 5 to 20 percent of the item's value.And according to the governments of Japan and Italy，there are many advantages of doing so.

• 7．Traveling to another country is exciting and fun.But if you don't learn about local customs，your trip could become a nightmare with misunderstandings and even trouble.Here are some cultural taboos（禁忌）in certain countries to help prevent things like that.Let's take a look and fit in with local culture.
     US
     One of the traditional customs for Americans is to tip jye.ai.People from non-tipping countries may forget to tip.And they may find themselves in an embarrassing situation.Also，pay attention when you have a conversation with Americans.As a tourist in the US，it is not polite to ask people questions like "How old are you？" and "How much do you make？"
     Mexico
     In Mexico，bringing an expensive gift to someone's home is a no-no.It could be seen as a bribe（贿赂）.Something simple like flowers or a dessert are good gifts.But you should avoid taking along marigolds （金盏花） or red flowers，because in Mexican culture，they symbolize death and can be connected with witchcraft（巫术）.To local people，white flowers are a good gift.
     Britain
     Be careful about hand gestures when you visit Britain.If you make the V sign with your palm（手掌）facing you，the locals may get angry.That's because this gesture means the same as the middle finger.It's an insult（侮辱）.It is safe to hold off on hand gestures to prevent any misunderstandings.
     Also，Britons are known for queuing.From the supermarket to the subway，queues are very common in Britain.Usually a British person spends six months of their life in queues.If you jump the queue in Britain，you may upset them.
