I thought to myself that I would take the opportunity to visit my old friends there, a couple of retired doctors.I told them: “I will arrive around 12:00, spend the day with you, and stay overnight. The next morning, I will leave your home on my own.” This was absolutely clear. On arrival, I found my old friends waiting for me. Lunch was ready at home: Five delicious dishes artistically displayed, and red wine, though I said I preferred not to have wine with Chinese food, and especially at lunch. The next morning, breakfast was rushed; my hosts said 8:00 am was fine to leave, as people were already at work.I had mentioned I wanted to buy high quality da ma hua. My friend said, as a foreigner, I was a target for cheaters. I protested that there was no danger. But he insisted, “I must take care of you!” At a moment I escaped from him and bought the 4-wheel suitcase which I longed for. I paid exactly 30 percent of the starting price. My friend said: “You are really talented at bargaining!” Still, it was not enough for him to let me go by myself .After I bought the da ma hua and some souvenirs, my friend said it was time to go to the train station. But this was “my” day, I intended to visit the Italian-style town with its bridge ornate with golden sculptures, the ancient buildings of the French and the German areas, and observe the changes in the city after so long. All that had bee impossible unless I could convince my bodyguard to return home and let me free to visit alone. I begged him not to acpany me. I had secretly planned to buy an evening ticket, say goodbye to my clinging panion, and return alone in the city after his departure. But he followed each of my movements. Finally, I quit Tianjin at 11:50 am, and arrived in Beijing 28 minutes later.This was the second time I went through such a situation, but I swear there will never be a third one. 28.

But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (经验的，实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In xx, Joan Meyers-Levy reported that the height of a rooms ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.In addition to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupants ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classroom with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classroom primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.Recent study on room lighting design suggests that dim (暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. “We have a very limited number of studies, so were almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管),” architect David Allison says. “How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? Thats what were all struggling with.”32. What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?Light B. Ceilings C. Windows D. Furniture.33. The passage tells us that _. A. the shape of furniture may affect peoples feelings B. lower ceilings may help improve students creativity C. children in a dim classroom may improve their grades D. students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed 34. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that _. A. the problem is not approached step by step B. the researches so far have faults in themselves C. the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect D. research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns35. Architects think that the places we live in may have an influence on our _.A. thoughts, feelings and behaviorsB. feelings, senses and sightsC. sights, thoughts and behaviorsD. behaviors, senses and sights第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。（E涂AB，F涂AC，G涂AD）Our health is the only thing we really have in the world.
