12、practical world. For creators，this emphasizes the importance of routines. Random bits of great inspiration are few and last only a short time；your works require a sustainable（可待续的）way to develop good ideas into great ones. Recall the wise words from Chuck Close：Amateurs sit and wait for inspiration;

13、 the rest of us just show up and go to work. Perhaps one of the best ways to improve your own processes is to study the masters. Thanks to books like Daily Rituals, our desire to see what go to work means -by getting a look at the masters regular routines-has been thoroughly satisfied. Though the ou

14、tput of these creative geniuses is sometimes amazing, how they conduct their work is often easy to relate to. One such person I took inspiration from was Ludwig van Beethoven.Beethoven kept his creative promises by strategically using his time to produce ideas. His favorite method of thinking about

15、things is long walks through the forested valleys of Vienna without the company of other people. He placed great importance on this planned time for reflection and idea evaluation. It appears he wasnt alone; notable craftsmen all over the world share similar experience in breaking up their day with

16、walks.Beethoven went for an active walk after lunch, and he always carried a pencil and a couple of sheets of paper in his pocket, to record chance musical thoughts. Gustav Mahler followed much the same routine-he would take a three (or four)-hour walk after lunch, stopping to quickly write down ide

17、as on his notebook. Benjamin Britten said that his afternoon walks were where I plan out what Im going to write in the next period at my desk. Recently, psychologists took an interesting step (or two) forward in understanding the creative benefits of walking-a Stanford study was able to show that wa

18、lking helped people produce more novel ideas and enhanced creative thinking during the walk and immediately after, compared to sitting. As the title of the study points out, walking may be the missing ingredient to consistently give your new ideas some legs.1、The author mentions Chuck Closes words t

22、hing?Low cost, dependable and small modern cameras offered a big help. Cameras placed in hard-to-reach places have shot everything from small desert cats to larger snow-lowing cats in the northern Rocky Mountains. Scientists have been able to document the “private” moments of wildlife with leading t

23、echnology.Grant Harris is a government biologist with the United States Fish and Wildlife Service in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In his words, “theres no doubt that these wild cameras are important tools to learn new information on wildlife.” Harris said some images help scientists see the eflects of c

24、limate change.Researchers with the Wyoming Migration Initiative, or WMI, are among those using wild cameras along with global positioning systems, or GPS. But WMI director Matthew Kauffman says as those devices are limited, so is the amount of information they can gather from GPS. However, cameras c

25、an be left in very wild areas for days, weeks or even months. They can provide information on how many animals are moving over a given period of time.Putting those cameras in place requires careful planning. Wild video can show details about animal behavior. However, wild cameras have their problems

26、 too. Animals such as wolverines and bears sometimes attack them. Scientists do not know if the attacks are the result of anger or interest. Also, the devices have become popular tools to help hunters look for animals. Some people argue that it is unfair to use the cameras that way.Even with such pr

The study of 6.6 million people found

30、 that one in 10 dementia deaths in people living within 50 metres of a busy road was due to waste gas and noise.Air pollution is already known to contribute to the deaths of around 40,000 people in Britain each year by worsening breathing and heart conditions, while previous research showed emission

31、s (排放物) can cause brain shrinkage.But the new study by Canadian public health scientists is the first to find a link between living close to heavy traffic and the increasing of dementia, a discovery described as believable and impressive by British experts.Dr Hong Chen said. Our study suggests that

32、busy roads could be a source of environmental stressors that could give rise to the onset of dementia.Population growth and urbanization has placed many people close to heavy traffic, and with widespread exposure to heavy traffic and growing rates of dementia, even a modest effect from near-road exp

33、osure could cause a large public health burden. More research to understanding this link is needed, particularly into the effects of different aspects of traffic, such as air pollutants and noise.In the new study, the team tracked all adults aged between 20 and 85 living in Ontario for more than a d

34、ecade from 2001 to 2012. They used postcodes to determine how close people lived to a main road and analyzed medical records to see if they went on to develop dementia, Parkinsons disease or multiple sclerosis(多发性硬化).While there was no correlation between living near a road and Parkinsons disease or

35、 multiple sclerosis, dementia risk reduced as people lived further from a main road, with a 7 percent higher risk in developing dementia among those living within 50 metres; a 4 percent higher risk at 50-100 metres and a 2 percent higher risk at 101-200 metres.After 200 metres there was no increase.

36、Researchers believe that noise of traffic may also play a role in the raised risk as well as other urban pollution, which is often present near busy roads.1、What can we know about Canadians new study?ABritish experts think highly of it.BIt brings benefits to dementia patients.CIt shows that air prod

37、uction is very serious.DIt shows that air pollution can cause brain shrinkage.2、What Dr Hong Chen said showed that_.Apeople are diagnosed with dementia mainly due to air pollutionBwidespread exposure to traffic will reduce the risk of having dementiaCthe link between living near roads and having dem

39、ise.BLiving beyond 300 metres of a main road is safe for people.CLiving within 200 metres of a main road has a lower risk of having dementia.DThe further people live away from heavy traffic, the smaller the risk of having dementia.24（8分）For the past 15years, factory owner Kamal Parmar has been runni

40、ng an after-school program for slum kids in Ahmedabad, India, helping them with basic skills like reading and writing and even preparing for their school tests.Parmars story began one afternoon 15 years ago. He stopped a few kids returning home from the local school and took their exam paper and ask

41、ed them a few questions. Shockingly, he made a shocking discovery-the students, even the older ones, knew nothing about reading except the alphabet. And that left him thinking that something should be done for these children.So he invited the kids to visit his workshop every evening, where he set up

42、 a temporary classroom with metal desks. The shabby school started off with 10 students. Today, the Footpath School has a total of 155 students and many of the kids that Parmar has taught in the past 15yearshav e gone to attend college and build successful careers.Despite having studied only till th

43、e seventh grade, he has been able to teach the kids by inventing creative techniques. He asks them to read first and then to form questions on their own and read them out. In this way, many kids learn all seven subjects in six months.Parmars family are very supportive of his project and are proud to

44、 see how much of an impact he has had on the kids. His students love him. Ten of his ex-students are currently serving as teachers at the school and he doesnt have to employ any teachers.For those who are inspired by his story, but cant actually volunteer at school, Parmar has a simple piece of ads
