24、Mary was waiting for the airplane to take off. She was happy to get a seat by herself. Just then, an air hostess came up to her and asked. “Would you mind changing your seat? A man would like to sit with his wife.” The only available(空的) seat was next to a girl with her arms broken, a black-and-blue face, and a sad expression(神情). “I don’t want to sit there,” Mary thought at once. But then a soft voice inside spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, Mary moved to that seat.The girl was named Emily. She had been in a car accident and now was on her way for treatment.

When the snacks and juice arrived, Mary realized that Emily could not feed herself. Mary thought about offering to feed her but she hesitated(犹豫), as it seemed too impolite to offer such a help to a stranger. But then Mary realized that Emily’s need was more important. Mary offered to help her eat. Although Emily was uncomfortable to accept, she agreed. They became closer and closer in a short time. By the end of the five-hour trip, Mary’s heart had warmed, and the time was really better spent than if she had just sat by herself.

Mary was very glad that she sat next to Emily and fed her. Love sometimes goes beyond(超越) human boundaries and removes the fears that keep people away. When we reach our hands to help another, we get to live in a larger and more pleasant world.

Do you knowwhy different animals or pestshave their special colors? Colorsin themseem to be used mainly to protect themselves.

Some birds like eating locusts(蝗虫), but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is becauselocusts change their colorstogether with the change of the colorsof crops(庄稼).

26、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 (一致) 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.

【1】Some people prefer a messy desk because _________.

A．it makes them uncomfortable

B．they are lazy and untidy

C．they won’t do things well

D．they can focus on tasks easily

【2】What does the underlined phrase “strive for” mean in Chinese?

A．对……感兴趣

B．将……分开

C．为……斗争

D．为……努力

【3】The experiment done by Kathleen Vohs shows that ________.

A．Disorder is never welcomed in this world

B．people working with a tidy desktop always try new things

C．a messy desktop has a bad influence on people’s minds

D．people working a messy desktop think up fresh ideas more often

【4】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 Get Used to It?

D．Messy Desk: Does It Help People Work Efficiently?
