(B)
Mom and I were about to finish cooking dinner, and my little niece Jessica came in to set the table.
Instead of going to the dish drawer, she went to the pantry where there was a stack of old, mismatched
dinner plates on the bottom shelf.
Mom worked for the local Council on Aging as a housekeeper. She did many of the little things that
allowed elderly people to stay in their own homes. Most of her clients (客户) got Meals on Wheels, a
service in the 1970s. They received a hot lunch and a cold snack to have later in the evening. This is really
not very much food. Every evening Mom would make to-go meals on these mismatched plates covered
with aluminum foil (铝箔纸), and then deliver them to the people who she knew didn’t get enough to eat.
It was about ten years before microwave ovens became common, so it was important that the food be
on a plate that could be reheated in a regular oven. Instead of a cold sandwich and macaroni salad, Mom’s
clients dined on Beef Manhattans, pan-fried chicken or meatloaf, along with veggies and a piece of pie or
cake. Mom and Dad did this even after Mom left her job, and Mom continued after Dad’s death until all
her former clients had either passed away or moved out.
When I was cleaning out Mom’s house after her death, I kept one as a souvenir (纪念品). Whenever I
look at it, I will always remember the lessons of unselfishness and caring for one’s neighbors that were
modeled for me by my parents.
14. What did the author’s mother do to earn a living in the 1970s?
A. She was a housewife. B. She ran Meals on Wheels.
C. She delivered food to houses. D. She did housework for the old.
15. Why did the author’s mother make to-go meals?
A. It was her job. B. She was good at cooking.
C. She wanted to help beyond her duty. D. Her family didn’t have enough to eat.
16. Which of the following can best describe the author’s mother?
A. Kind and considerate. B. Thoughtful and creative.
C. Responsible and proud. D. Traditional and hardworking.
17. What can be inferred about the writer in the future?
A. She would sell out all her mother’s old plates.
B. She would do nice things for her community.
C. She would run a restaurant for the homeless.
D. She would become a client in the Meals on Wheels.
(C)
During an interview for one of my books, my interviewer said something I still think about often.
Annoyed by the level of distraction (干扰) in his open office, he said, “That’s why I have a membership at
the coworking space across the street — so I can focus.” His comment struck me as strange. After all,
coworking spaces also typically use an open office layout (布局). But I recently came across a study that
shows why his method works.
The research examined various levels of noise on participants (参与者) as they completed tests of
creative thinking. They were randomly divided into four groups with various levels of noise in the
background, from total silence to 50 decibels (分贝), 70 decibels, and 85 decibels.
The differences between most of the groups were so small that they could be ignored; however, the
participants in the 70 decibels group — where there was a level of noise similar to background chatting in
a coffee shop — performed better than the other groups. Since the effects were small, this may suggest that
our creative thinking does not differ that much in response to total silence and 85 decibels of background
noise.
The study also suggests that the right level of background noise — not too loud and not total silence
— may actually improve one’s creative thinking ability. The right level of background noise may interrupt
