A lot of teachers hate doodlers(乱写乱画的人)during classes.“Pay attention!”
Teachers will often warn doodling students, sure that they must be daydreaming ．
However, according to a recent study, doodling while listening to a boring lecture
helps concentrate the attention 。
Andrade, a psychology professor in England asked participants to listen to a
boring lecture. Half the participants were told to color in squares and circles freely
on a piece of paper while listening to the lecture. The other half weren ’t given
a task. After it was over, the participants were asked to retell the lecture ．
Those given the doodling task (color in squares and circles) remembered 29 percent
more information than the non-doodlers ．Andrade said ．
“If someone is doing a boring task ，like listening to a dull conversation ，they may
start daydream ，”said Professor Andrade ．
“Daydreaming distracts (使分心) them from the task ，resulting in poorer
performance ．A simple task ，like doodling ，can stop them from daydreaming without
affecting their performance at the task.”he said ． So the next time you ’re doodling during a class, and you hear “pay attention ”，you can tell the teacher with confidence that you ’ve been paying attention to every word ． 1．The passage mainly tells us ． A ．doodling will be banned in classes B. teachers are against doodling C ．doodling may help concentrate D. doodling call lead to daydream 2．Teachers hate doodlers because they thought ． A ．doodlers are not good at study B ．doodlers are doing no task C ．doodlers pay no attention in class D ．doodlers are not polite to them 3．According to the text ，it is helpful to doodle when ． A ．a boring lecture is given B ．an interesting story is told C ．watching a long TV program D ．having a conversation with the teacher 4．We can learn from the text that ． A ．doodling is the best way to draw attention B ．daydreaming is different from doodling C ．doodling will be helpful in any occasion D ．every student should doodle in class B
A beautiful and very successful actress (女演员) was the star for a new musical
show. Her home was in the countryside, but she did not want to go back there every
night, so she bought an expensive house in the centre of the city, got some beautiful furniture (家具) and got a man to paint the rooms in new colours.
It was very difficult to get tickets for her show, because everybody wanted to
see it. So she decided to give the painter two of the best seats. She hoped that this
would make him work better for her. He took the tickets without saying anything, and
she heard no more about them until the end of the month, when she got the painter’s
bill (账单). At the bottom of it were these words: “ Four hours watchin g Miss Hall
