You can hum a song, daydream or think about nothing, leaving the real world behind you. But did you know that showering can also benefit your mind?A research by Scott Barry Kaufman, a psychologist from Yale University in the US interviewed over 3，000 people around the world. It turned out that nearly twothirds of the interviewees said they had experienced new ideas in the shower and were more likely to have them in the shower than at work.So why does a simple shower have such magic power? Science can explain it.Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine, a hormone(荷尔蒙)closely related to our creativity. “People vary in terms of their level of creativity according to the activity of dopamine”， explained Alice Flaherty, a famous American neuroscientist. “Taking a warm shower can make us feel relaxed and therefore make the dopamine level rise and bring Aha！ moment to us.”Besides the chemical changes, showering may give you a break from what you feel you have been stuck with. Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories. In this way, according to American psychologist Shelley H. Carson, author of Your Creative Brain, “a showering hour may turn into an incubation(孵化)period for your ideas.”pared with sitting in front of a puter, taking a shower is something we do less frequently in our daily life. When showering, we get a fresh experience with the change of location, temperature and humidity. “New and unexpected experiences can lead to positive changes in thinking，” explained Kaufman. “Getting off the couch and jumping in the shower may create a distance and force you to think from a new point of view.”Showering allows us to enjoy the creative juices of our minds, but it neednt just be the bathroom where you get your inspiration. For instance, Gertrude Stein, a female American writer and poet, got new ideas by driving around a farm and stopping at different cows until she found the one that most inspired her. So try to create your own way to free your mind, whether its a walk near the ocean, a country drive or reading a book at home.4. According to the article, what changes can showering cause?A. Bringing the terrible moment to us.B. Increasing the level of dopamine.C. Leading to boredom or tiredness.D. Setting the creative part of the brain free.5. If one has focused on something all day, showering can help _. A. turn ones attention inwardsB. draw ones attention to the outside worldC. one make an important breakthroughD. many chemical changes to take place6. It can be inferred from the article that _. A. changes in the frequency of an action can create a new perspectiveB. it is a good idea to talk with others about their sources of inspirationC. our lives might feel longer and fuller if we frequently try new thingsD. it is helpful to try something different rather than stay focused on a difficult task7. The example of Gertrude Stein in the last paragraph is used to _. A. encourage readers to find their own ways of getting inspirationB. point out to readers that its hard to find inspirationC. explain how to link inspiration with readers daily livesD. show that creativity often es from strange places答案与解析【文章大意】一项科学实验证实了洗澡对人们身心有益，尤其是激发大脑的创造力。4. 答案B解析细节理解题。根据第四段第一句话 Showering can help to raise our level of dopamine .可以判断出B项为正确答案。5. 答案A解析细节理解题。根据第五段 Especially when you have thought hard all day about a problem, jumping into the shower can keep you from the outside world so that you can focus on your inner feelings and memories可以判断出A项为正确答案。6. 答案D解析判断推理题。根据第六段内容可以判断出D项为正确答案。7. 答案A解析目的意图题。根据文章最后一段最后一句话“So try to create your own way to free your mind”可以判断出A项为正确答案。. 七选五(xx河北衡水)What if you could have your whole backpack at the touch of your finger tips?

Besides the Spring Festival, we also celebrate the Tombsweeping Day, which usually falls on 4th April, in memory of our ancestors. On lunar 15th August, we celebrate the Midautumn Day by getting together with our family no matter how far away we are, because family closeness is highly valued in our culture.Nowadays, young people are enthusiastic about having fun celebrating western festivals. By celebrating some western festivals like Mothers Day, we learn to show our respect and love for our mother, which is universally appreciated.From my point of view, Chinese people are more and more open to the world, which accounts for the phenomenon that Chinese culture and foreign ones influence each other.I hope the above can be of any help.Yours，Li_Hua
