24、 No one wants to work at a messy desk and look lazy. But does a messy desktop actually mean that? Not all disorders (无序) mean you mess everything up. Even Steve Jobs thought his personal attraction came from his messy desktop.
People who prefer a messy desk have their own ideas. Some think it makes them comfortable.
Some believe it helps them focus more easily. Messy tables can make it easier to focus on the tasks, just like some novelists can write patiently in a noisy café. Others may be the people who want to do things perfectly. For those who strive for perfection, tasks are either 100% or 0% done. So they usually put away the less important things and do the most important ones perfectly, which leads to paper mountains on the desktop.
Many people are described as untidy, careless and slow because of messy tabletops. However,when we see the desks of Albert Einstein, Mark Twain and Mark Zuckerberg- pioneers of their times ——things might change. Clearly, the world welcomes uniformity(- X ) and order, it also never refuses regular (有规律的) disorder, which seems like a mess but goes in an organized (有条理的) way.
Research shows that people working with a messy desktop are probably more creative and like to take risks. But people with a tidy one often follow the rules and may not like to try new things. For example, in an experiment (实验) done by Kathleen Vohs. People in the messy group came up with more interesting and creative ideas about the new uses of ping-pong balls than the organized one. Vohs says, Messy environments seem to inspire people to think up fresh ideas.'
But a messy desk might not be the best choice all the time. When you need new ideas, a messy desk might be a good choice; but when you want to do a task quickly and successfully, it seems better to make a desk clean and tidy.
No matter what kind of desk you prefer, we hope you feel comfortable and enjoy it!
【1】Some people prefer a messy desk because ________.
A.it makes them uncomfortable
B.they can focus on tasks easily
C.they are lazy and untidy
【2】What does the underlined phrase “strive for” mean in Chinese?
A.对……感兴趣 B.将……分开 C.为……努力
【3】What can you learn from Paragraph 3?
A.Disorder is never welcomed in this world.
B.People may be successful although they have messy tabletops.
C.People can finish the tasks perfectly as long as they keep their desks clean.
【4】The experiment done by Kathleen Vohs shows that ________.
A.people working a messy desktop think up fresh ideas more often
B.people working with a tidy desktop always try new things
C.a messy desktop has a bad influence on people's minds
【5】What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Messy Desk: Do People Need to Change It?
B.Messy Desk: Does It Make People Comfortable?
C.Messy Desk: Do People Find Excuses for It?
