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.” Compared 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 needn39。 D Taking a shower is relaxing. 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 (荷爾蒙 ) 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 39。故選 A。 3．推理判斷題。 ”所以 C 項(xiàng)符合語境之意。 2．詞義猜測題。 A、 C、 D 三項(xiàng)的表述都不符合第一段的意思，更談不上暗示或言外之意了。根據(jù)第一段的描述我們可以推斷出倫敦人既有傳統(tǒng)意識又有時(shí)尚意識。 Customs London is one of the fashion capitals of the world, and its residents tend to reflect that. Practically, pack an umbrella for the rainy days and a scarf for the cold ones. As for tipping, restaurants and cafes will usually add a 10to15percent service charge to the bill. If a service charge is not allotted（指定） , it?s customary to tip the same (between 10 and 15 percent). If you?re drinking at a pub or wine bar, tipping is flexible. And in a taxicab, tip the driver to the nearest pound or about 10 percent of the cost. London Dining London used to be highly criticized for its heavy and mon menu items. Now, London is considered as one of the most gourmet cities in the world. And with its melting pot of cultures, it?s not difficult to see why. London offers everything from modern British to Malaysian. For Indian food, we suggest visiting the curry houses on Brick Lane. If you want a real high tea experience, book reservations at the Ritz, at Fortnum amp。 C The English writer Samuel Johnson famously said, “You find no man who is willing to leave London. No, sir, when a man is tired of London, he is tired of life, for there is in London all that life can afford.” More than two centuries have passed since Johnson?s age, but his words still ring true. Here, you?ll find the historic Tower of London and the Tate Modern both considered mustsees. Shakespeare?s sons（十四行詩） are still being uttered by actors. Londoners most certainly still look up to the royals, but they also rock out to Coldplay and Lily Allen. And while they still sip tea, they now drink Starbucks, too. How to Save Money in London Find the free attractions. Many of London?s top things to do, including the National Gallery, Hyde Park and the Portobello Road Market, are absolutely free to enjoy. Ride the Tube. Taking taxis will add up quickly, so buy a payasyougo Oyster Card and travel on London?s underground system, nicknamed the “Tube”. Dine smart. Corridors like Brick Lane offer fantastic cultural food for bargain prices。 【備注】 本文是一篇說明文，科學(xué)家們發(fā)現(xiàn)腦力勞動不能使人勞累，使人勞累的是人的精神和情感狀態(tài)，即厭煩、生氣、焦急、緊張、憂慮以及不被欣賞等。 4．推 理判斷題。 3．觀點(diǎn)態(tài)度題。 2．細(xì)節(jié)理解題。 B Here is an astonishing and significant fact: Mental work alone can?t make us tired. It sounds absurd. But years ago, scientists tried to find out how long the human brain could labor without reaching a stage of fatigue (tiredness). To the amazement of these scientists, they discovered that blood passing through the brain, when it is active, shows no fatigue at all! If we took a drop of blood from a day laborer, we would find it full of fatigue toxins (毒素 ) and fatigue products. But if we took blood from the brain of an Albert Einstein, it would show no fatigue toxin
