11、nday afternoon, I went to see Mr. C at Roxbury Park in Beverly Hills. His love of life has not dimmed despite the fact that his legs no longer work like they used to. He visited some of his former students while he was in town. At Beverly Hills High School, Mr. C taught ancient history, coached foot
12、ball and golf, and risked his life teaching drivers training on Saturday mornings from 1964 to 1988. The gray and hobbled students lined up one after another to thank their favorite teacher. One called him a rock star. Another was grateful for helping him when he couldnt say so. It was a beautiful t
13、ribute, especially in these times of catastrophic teacher shortages. Spending that Sunday in the park with Mr. C was nothing short of magic. It was a reminder of all that is promising and possible in public education, including a teacher whose rare emotional honesty could be appreciated and honored
14、decades later. It also brought to mind Maya Angelous saying “People will forget what you said and did, but never forget how you make them feel.” He made me and others in the park feel heard and seen.Mr. C changed my perception of myself. Rather than seeing myself as a loser cheerleader who couldnt c

20、ospital. Even in America, a country where private hospitals have long provided individual rooms with such comforts as personal cable television, patients are often still fed institutional food. “Mystery meat” and processed-cheese slices are common; everything gets cooked in a microwave. More hospita
21、ls are starting to feed their patients better food. Intermountain, a non-profit group based in Utah that runs 32 hospitals across the Mountain West, has since 2019 served freshly made meals to patients. Chefs in proper kitchens now source local ingredients to serve in cafeterias. Doctors are consult
22、ed to meet patients dietary needs. Christopher Delissio, the head chef at Intermountain, describes creating a meal for a Mexican child who was being treated for cancer. “He would not eat,” Mr Delissio recalls, and that was making it harder for him to recover from chemotherapy. “I was able to go up o
23、n the floor and speak to this boys parents and him and kind of figure out what he wanted,” he says.The link between eating well and good health has long been clear, says David Eisenberg, a nutrition specialist at the Harvard School of Public Health. Heart disease, which has a direct connection to di
24、et, is Americas biggest killer. Roughly two-fifths of American adults are clinically obese, and over 14% suffer from diabetes. The right food can help patients avoid going back to hospital. Yet doctors themselves have often been slow to recognise the need to encourage healthy eating, says Dr Eisenbe
25、rg. Most health care remains curative, rather than preventive. A decade ago Henry Ford Hospital in West Bloomfield opened a teaching kitchen where staff could help patients plan affordable, healthy meals and learn how to cook them. The idea is now spreading widely. In October a conference for health

29、Hospital Chefs: the Best Professionals【答案】8. C 9. A 10. D 11. CDIf youve ever emerged from the shower or returned from walking your dog with a clever idea or a solution to a problem youd been struggling with, it may not be an unusual thing.Rather than constantly wearing yourself out at a problem or
30、desperately seeking a flash of inspiration, research from the last 15 years suggests that people may be more likely to have creative breakthroughs or insights when theyre doing a habitual task that doesnt require much thought an activity in which youre basically on autopilot. This lets your mind wan
31、der or engage in spontaneous cognition or “stream of consciousness” thinking, which experts believe helps recollect unusual memories and generate new ideas.“People always get surprised when they realize they get interesting, novel ideas at unexpected times because our cultural narrative tells us we
32、should do it through hard work,” says Kalina Christoff, a cognitive neuroscientist at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. “Its a pretty universal human experience.”Now were beginning to understand why these clever thoughts occur during more passive activities and whats happening in the
33、brain, says Christoff. The key, according to the latest research, is a pattern of brain activity within whats called the default mode network that occurs while an individual is resting or performing habitual tasks that dont require much attention.Researchers have shown that the default mode network
34、(DMN) which connects more than a dozen regions of the brain becomes more active during mind-wandering or passive tasks than when youre doing something that demands focus. Simply put, the DMN is “the state the brain returns to when youre not actively engaged,” explains Roger Beaty, a cognitive neuros
35、cientist and director of the Cognitive Neuroscience of Creativity Lab at Penn State University. By contrast, when youre trapped in a demanding task, the brains executive control systems keep your thinking focused, analytical, and logical.A cautionary note: While the default mode network plays a key
36、role in the creative process, “its not the only important network,” Beaty says. “Other networks come into play as far as modifying, rejecting, or implementing ideas.” So its unwise to place blind faith in ideas that are generated in the shower or during any other period of mind wandering.12. When do
37、 people expect to get an innovative idea according to the research?A. When doing routine work.B. When working attentively.C. When tackling tough problems.D. When desperately seeking inspirations.13. What is the cultural perception for getting exciting, unusual ideas?A. Getting by good luck.B. Gettin
38、g by great efforts.C. Getting by unexpected accident.D. Getting by universal experience.14. Who is most likely to get a novel idea?A. A student who is playing football.B. A student who is focusing on papers.C. A student who is closely monitoring his research.D. A student who is fully engaged in math
39、 questions.15. What does the last paragraph imply?A. We can get novel ideas by the default mode network.B. we should take the idea popped in the shower seriously.C.
