Most of us are aware that taking breaks from physical activity is necessary to recover and prevent injuries. Taking breaks in our mental work is equally helpful.
Recent studies show that those who give in to some kind of distraction once an hour perform better than those who just keep at it without a break. After a while,our brains can't focus so well,and we become unable to continuously treat the task as important. Taking a break allows us to come back to the job at hand with renewed energy and a sense of purpose.
No matter how much we love our work,we cannot keep creating when we are on empty. Something as simple as a ten-minute conversation with a friend,or watching an inspiring video can give us much needed help,or point us in a new direction if we* re stuck. It is difficult to see things from a new point of view when we come at it the same way all the time. Taking a step away might be just what we need to (恢復精力) .
We are not designed to sit around all day. As difficult as being sedentary(需要久坐的) is on our bodies,it's not helpful for our creativity and productivity,either. Getting up for a few minutes and getting our blood flowing and some more oxygen to the brain are a necessary piece of the v^ork day.
If you know you typically have an afternoon energy slump(銳減)， consider doing exercise during the lunch-time hours. Studies have shown that appropriate activity can boost creativity and productivity for two hours afterward. Plus,the change of scene and focus may just be something you need for your next breakthrough at work.
The next time you feel guilty about taking a break, consider how much more effective it may make you in the long run.
13. According to Paragraph 2 ,recent studies show.
A. our brains react negatively to distractions
B. people are always working without a break
C. taking breaks from work benefits productivity
D. taking breaks from physical activity can prevent injuries
14. In the author's opinion,a sedentary lifestyle .
A. is necessary sometimes
B. means good productivity at times
C. cannot be avoided by today's people
D. is harmftil both physically and mentally
15. The text is meant to show the importance of.
A. creativity at work
B. treating work seriously
C. taking breaks at work
D. high productivity at work
16. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A book review.
B. A research plan.
C. A science report.
D. A business report.

A study conducted in the Svalbard Archipelago of;Norway showed the first recorded case of polar bears seeking out white-beaked dolphins(白喙斑紋海豚) for prey(獵物) . Warming waters have allowed the dolphins to travel north to an area they would normally avoid until summertime. “It is likely that new species are appearing in the diet of polar bears due to climate change because new species are finding their way north,” study author Jon Aars said.
Arctic waters have warmed at a rate twice that of southern waters,putting the ice-loving bears in trouble. Polar bears typically sit on large pieces of ice to hunt swimming seals,but without the platform of ice to sit on,the bears have to look elsewhere for food. Two ice-free winters attracted the dolphins into the Arctic region,where their food has also shown up thanks to warm water. But a sudden influx (匯集）of ice trapped the dolphins,making them easy prey for hungry plar bears.
The scientists from the Norwegian Polar Institute first discovered this eating habit in April,2014 and documented another five cases in the following year. Most of the bears appeased well-fed,although one was visibly thin and found covering a dead dolphin with ice as a means to hide his food source from other animals —another strategy that scientists had not yet seen before.
It' s unlikely that there are enough dolphins to feed the large population of polar bears. And as the bears were only able to hunt the dolphins because of a sudden storm,their consumption could be a fluke(使幸) .
Polar bears living in Canada and Alaska have been found traveling north to live in the icy regions they need,but Svalbard is about as far north as it gets before the water becomes too deep to serve as a livable habitat,leaving the bears with nowhere else to go.
9. What does Jon Aars think is to blame for polar bears' eating dolphins?
A. Loss of habitat： B. No other prey.
C. Warmer climate. D. Shorter summertime.
10. What do we learn about today's polar bears from Paragraph 2 ?
A. They fmd it harder to hunt seals.
B. They have more food than before.
C. They face more competitors than before.
D. They are troubled by a sudden influx of ice.
11. It is very rare for a polar bear to.
A. appear well-fed
B. get nothing to eat
C. hide food from other animals
D. share food with other polar bears
12. After polar bears reach Svalbard,they .
A. get no dolphins to eat
B. cannot go any further northward
C. hardly want to go anywhere else
D. make it a comfortable livable habitat
