A
Managers and office busybodies might be keen on a clean desk, but it seems that in terms of 2/10productivity, they could have it all wrong. “A messy desk can actually lead people towards clearer thinking,” say researchers from Germany.
The researchers found in a series of linked studies---using a messy desk and a messy shop front---that people actually thought more clearly when all around was chaos, as they sought to simplify the tasks at hand. That is, visual and mental clutter (杂舌L) forces human beings to focus and think more clearly. For instance, famous thinkers and writers such as Albert Einstein and Roald Dahl have been notorious (臭名昭著的for their untidy desks.
“Messy desks may not be as detrimental as they appear to be, as the problem-solving approaches they seem to promote work efficiency or enhance employees’ creativity in problem solving,” say the authors.
“Business and government managers often promote ?clean desk’ policies to avoid disorganized offices and messy desks, for the purpose of boosting work efficiency and productivity,” writes a researcher, Jia Liu of the University of Groningen. “This practice is based on the conventional wisdom that a disorganized and messy environment can clutter one’s mind and complicate one’s judgments.”
“However, not all evidence supports this conventional link between a messy environment and a messy mind”. The scientists tested people’s response in various messy environments, including a messy shop front, a disorganized desk, and even a work environment where a language task reminded people of messiness.
The authors found in the series of six studies that people tended towards simplicity in their thinking. “They classified products in a simpler manner, were willing to pay more for a T-shirt that has a simple-looking picture, and sought less variety in their choices”, said the researchers. 21. Why did the author take Albert Einstein and Ronald Dahl for example?
A. To tell readers untidy desks can make you as famous as them. B. To convince readers that untidiness is not all that bad. C. To inform readers of one way to success—untidy desks.
D. To attract readers and show the author’s wide range of knowledge. 22. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. A messy environment will certainly lead to a messy mind. B. A clean environment will do great harm to work efficiency. C. People tend to clear up the mess before thinking clearly. D. All people are not in favor of “clean desk” in the office. 23. The underlined word “detrimental” probably mean ___ .
A. disadvantageous B. common C. beneficial D. accessible 24. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. The messier the desks are, the more efficient the employees are. B. Messy desks in the office can have a positive effect on employees. C. We should make our office messy to improve our work efficiency. D. Clean desks can promote the employees’ productivity and creativity.
B
While it is expected that students come to university with the ability to take a good set of notes, this is not always the case. High school may not have demanded it, so good listening and

note-taking skills may need to be developed. TRY HOW? Being a positive, active listener. Sit down front and do not read or talk. Pay particular attention during the second 20 minutes (when you tend to lose it) and to the last minutes when a summary might be given or conclusions drawn. TRY HOW? Being a positive, active learner. Come to class with an interest in the material and with questions to be answered. You can develop these by thinking about and anticipating the lecture and by pre-reading the text (the latter is especially helpful if you find yourself having difficulty keeping up with the material). TRY WHY? Getting accurate notes, with special attention to the main ideas. There may be an overhead projector; if so, get that material down. In addition, look for points of emphasis---from the prof’s verbal language, body language, or careful reading of his notes. If you still feel you’re missing the main points, try showing your notes to a classmate or the prof. TRY WHY? Leaving lots of space between ideas. Because you want lots of room to continue to add notes in your own words; this will help you learn the material on a deeper level by integrating it with what you already know. Also, the extra space will make it easier for you to find material when you are studying. TRY WHY? TRY HOW? Going over new notes---10 minutes for each class---within 24 hours Because you lose 50—80% of the material if you don’t. Setting your notes up so you can study effectively from them. Leave wide left margins (页边空白):here you will write questions from which to study your notes. Leave the back of the page blank, so you can fold the page, cover the notes, and answer the questions when studying. 25. ______________________ During a listening lesson
A. the students might lose interest after 20 minutes B. most students might be absent-minded C. students prefer to talk to each other
D. students don5t have to pay attention to the last part of the lesson 26. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. Pre-reading what you read might help you understand the material better. B. Taking notes in class can help you master the main idea better.
C. The writer of the passage is not quite satisfied with high school education. D. One should learn to go over one’s lessons within 24 hours. 27. The article is probably written for ___ .
