The increasing environmental problems and need for eco-friendly products and services are creating a new job
43、section of green-collar jobs. Many countries of the world have realized the importance and need for energy-saving products and services. It is expected that by 2025 about 25% of the jobs in developed countries will be of green-collar jobs. Doesnt the data look promising for the future? Green-collar

51、ng jobsD Boredom and CreativityMost of us think of being bored at work as a negative experience, but a new study suggests it can have positive results including an increase in creativity because it gives us time to daydream.That is the finding of Dr. Sandi Mann from the University of Central Lancash
52、ire. Dr. Mann conducted two studies. In the first experiment, 40 people were asked to carry out a boring task. They were told to copy numbers out of a telephone directory for 15 minutes. After that they were asked to complete another task. A pair of cups were given to each of them. Everyone tried to
53、 come up with different uses of the cups, and was given a chance to display their creativity. Meanwhile, another group of 40 people were just asked to come up with uses for the cups without doing any boring tasks before. It turned out that the 40 people who had first copied out the telephone numbers
54、 were more creative than the control group(对照组). To see if daydreaming was a factor in this effect, a second boring task was introduced that allowed even more daydreaming than the boring writing task. This second study saw 30 people copying out the numbers as before, but also included a second group
55、 of 30 reading rather than writing them.Again the researchers found that the people in the control group were least creative, but the people who had just read the names were more creative than those who had to write them out. This suggests that more passive boring activities, like reading or perhaps
56、 attending meetings, can lead to more creativity. Compared with reading, writing reduced the scope（范围） for daydreaming. As a result, it reduces the effects of boredom on creativity.Dr. Mann says: “Boredom at work has always been seen as something to be avoided, but perhaps we should accept it in ord
57、er to promote our creativity. What we want to do next is to see what the practical implications of this finding are. Do people who are bored at work become more creative in other areas of their work - or do they go home and write novels?” 67. Who proved to be the most creative in the two studies?A.
58、The people who attended meetings. B. The people who did the reading task. C. The people who invented uses for cups. D. The people who copied telephone numbers. 68. The studies conducted by Dr. Mann indicate that creativity results from _. A. creative tasksB. controlled activitiesC. the range of dayd
59、reamingD. reading and writing ability69. What is Dr. Manns attitude towards boredom at work? A. Positive. B. Skeptical. C. Subjective. D. Disapproving. 70. What will Dr. Mann probably continue to research in their study? A. The real causes of creativity. B. The actual use of boredom. C. The practica
60、l reasons of boredom. D. The writing ability improved by boredom. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Teen peer pressureTeen peer pressure is the influence a teens social group has on him or her.
