24、In a study, some people were told to sit in a room and do nothing for 15 minutes. In that room, there was a button(按钮) which they could choose to press when they couldn’t stand sitting there anymore. 67% of men and 25% of women pressed that button before the test was over. It showed how much they hated boredom. They hated it so much that they said they could choose pain over boredom.
It’s true that most of us don’t like boredom, so we try to avoid it as much as we can. However, science tells us that boredom can actually be great for you. Another study found that boredom can result in increased creativity. Two groups of people took part in it. The first group were told to sort(分类) a bowl of beans by color, one by one. These people later performed better on an idea—producing task than the second group of people who first completed a very interesting activity. The task was to come up with excuses for being late. The bored people performed better both in quality and number of excuses.
________ The world might not have seen Harry Potter if J. K. Rowling had not been bored on a long train ride. In an interview from 2016, she said, “I didn’t have a pen and was too shy to ask anyone for one on the train, which upset me at the time. But when I looked back, it was the best thing for me. It gave me the full four hours on the train to think up all the ideas for the book. “
Along with sparking ideas, boredom can make you more productive by giving you time to plan for the future. In fact, boredom doesn’t mean you’re not doing anything. If you don’t spend all your spare time on social media, you could be planning about things you’ll do in the future. Your future goals have to be thought out, and boredom lets you do just that.
So put your phone inside your pocket and get bored. Thinking is great for you, and when you’re bored, you think. Remember that when you pull out your phone or stay up watching soap operas, you might be missing a chance of getting life—changing ideas.

25、Do you know why different animals or pests (昆虫) have their special colors? Colors in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts (蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts change their colors together with the change of the colors of crops(庄稼). When crops are green, locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown color as crops have. Some other pests with different colors from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you’ll find the main use of coloring is to protect themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters (猎人). This is because they have the colors much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even stranger act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid (液体)when it faces danger. While the liquid spreads over (散开), its enemies (敌人)cannot find it. And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it is not strong at all.
