9、ation by acolonial official and his wife. The guests are army and government officers and their wives, and anAmerican naturalist.

10、at-the-sight-of-a-mouseera, and that they are not as anxious as their grandmothers were. The officer says they are,arguing women havent the actual nerve control of men. “A womans reaction in any crisis, the officer says,“is to scream. And while a man mayfeel like it, he has that ounce more of contro
11、l than a woman has. The American scientist does not join in the argument but sits and watches the faces of theother guests.

12、spers tohim. The servants eyes widen. He turns quickly and leaves the room. No one else sees this, nor theservant when he puts a bowl of milk on the balcony outside the glass doors. The American understands. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thing. It is bait fora snake. He realizes there is a

14、 quality of his voice so arrestingthat it quietens everyone.“I want to know just what control everyone at this table has. I will countthree hundred - thats five minutes - and not one of you is to move a single muscle. Now! Ready! The 20 people sit like stone images while he counts. He is saying .o.

20、ation (拖延) one step further, by paying a parking ticket almost a half-century after it was given.In December 2018, the Minersville Police Department in Pennsylvania received a letter in the mail.Whoever wrote the letter decided it was best to keep his name somewhat unknown, so he put the return addr
21、ess as “Wayward Road, Anytown California” under the name “Feeling guilty”.When the officers opened the envelope, they found a brief letter, along with a $5 bill, and a parking ticket dating all the way back to 1974.The note read, “Dear PD, Ive been carrying this ticket around for 40 plus years alway
22、s intending to pay.Forgive me if I dont give you my info.With respect, Dave.”Even though the initial parking ticket was only for $2, “Dave” must have felt awfully guilty because he left 150 percent, or $3, in interest.Michael Combs, the Police Chief of the Minersville Police Department, stated in an
23、 interview that the same ticket would cost about $20 if it was given today. Combs went on to share that the original ticket from 1974 was given to a vehicle that had an Ohio license plate.Because there was no system for tracking tickets given to out-of-state cars back then, “Dave” could have gotten
24、away with never paying the $2 fine.But apparently, guilt got the best of him, and he decided to finally cough up the money more than 40 years past its due date.1.How much do we know about “Dave”?A.He lives in Wayward Road, Anytown California.

28、t YouFor some time, psychologists have been studying how personality traits affect health and health-related choices. Not surprisingly, they have found that people blessed with innate conscientiousness, meaning that they are organized and predictable, typically eat better and live longer than people
29、 who are disorderly. They also tend to have immaculate offices.What has been less clear is whether neat environments can produce good habits even in those who arent necessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments. In the f
30、irst experiment, they randomly assigned a group of college-age students to spend time in two office spaces, one of which was very neat, the other wildly cluttered (乱堆) with papers and other work-related stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated to the study. After 10
31、minutes, they were told they could leave with an apple or a chocolate bar. Those students who sat in the orderly office were twice as likely to choose the apple as those who sat among the mess.A second experiment, however, found that working in chaos has its advantages, too. In this one, college stu
32、dents were placed in a messy or a neat office and asked to dream up new uses for Ping-Pong balls. Those in messy spaces generated ideas that were significantly more creative, according to two independent judges, than those in offices where stacks of papers and other objects were neatly arranged.The
33、results were something of a surprise, says Dr. Vohs, the leader of the study. Few previous studies found much virtue in disorder. The broken window theory, proposed decades ago, holds that even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.But in the study by Dr. Vohs, d
34、isordered offices encouraged originality and a search for novelty. In the final portion of the study, adults were given the choice of adding a health “boost” to their lunchtime smoothie that was labeled either “new” or “classic.” The volunteers in the messy space were far more likely to choose the n
35、ew one; those in the tidy office generally chose the classic version. “Disorderly environments seem to inspire breaking free of tradition,” Dr. Vohs and her co-authors conclude in the study, “which can produce fresh insights.”The implications of these findings are also practical. “My advice would be
36、, if you need to think outside the box for a future project”, Dr. Vohs says, “then let the clutter rise and free your imagination. But if your primary goal is to eat well or to go to the gym, pick up around your office first. By doing this, the naturally messy can acquire some of the discipline of t
37、he conscientious.” 1. The underlined word “immaculate” in paragraph 1 probably means _.A. messy B. tidy C. terrible D. comfortable2. Which of the following can best explain the broken window theory?A. Chaos begets chaos. B. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.C. Bad news has wings. D. When a door s
38、huts, a window opens.3. Which of the following will Dr. Vohs probably agree with?A. More virtue exists in organized people. B. Creativity results from tidiness and discipline.C. Disorderly surroundings help to create new ideas.D. Workers good habits guarantee the success of a project.4. What can we
39、conclude from the study results?A. The naturally neat people tend to be very creative.B. A messy office will cause quite low working efficiency.C. Environments can affect peoples way of thinking and behavior.D. Peoples personalities are determined by their working environments.5、根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入
