19、ctors in the Song Renaissance was the printing press which made for a rebirth of classical Confucian learning. By the 10th century,printers were producing a large number of copies of the classical Confucian texts. With this increase in the production of books, education spread and became widely avai
20、lable.Printing also had its greatest influence on the Chinese political system. In the Song Dynasty, government examinations became the most important way to political power in China. For almost 1,000 years, China was governed by men who had done very well in examinations. Thousands of students stud
21、ied for the exams, and thousands of inexpensive books were required. Without printing, such a system would not have been possible.The Song period was also the golden age of Chinese painting. Emperor Huizong(1101-1125) was a talented painter who encouraged the arts. A royal painting academy was creat
22、ed and many fine artists were supported. The period is best known for nature subjects and landscape paintings.

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 ne
28、cessarily innately conscientious. To find out, researchers at the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments. In the first 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)
29、 with papers and other work-related stuff. The students spent their time filling out questionnaires unrelated to the study. After 10 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 tho
30、se who sat among the mess.A second experiment, however, found that working in chaos has its advantages, too. In this one, college students 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 cr
31、eative, according to two independent judges, than those in offices where stacks of papers and other objects were neatly arranged.The 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 de
32、cades ago, holds that even slight disorder and neglect can encourage indifference and poor discipline.But in the study by Dr. Vohs, disordered 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

34、 conclude in the study, “which can produce fresh insights.”The implications of these findings are also practical. “My advice would be, 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 w
35、ell 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 the conscientious.”32. The underlined word “immaculate” in paragraph 1 probably means _.A. messyB. tidyC. terribleD. comfortable33. Which of the following can best expl
36、ain the broken window theory?A. Chaos begets chaos. B. Misfortune may be an actual blessing.C. Bad news has wings. D. When a door shuts, a window opens.34.
