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.

Brandon Paulin is the top official in the town of Indian Head even though he is only 19 years old. Mr. Paulin started the job in May,and his first goal is to recover the business in the town. The area includes small businesses,old homes on tree-lined streets,and new townhouses along the highway. It is about an hour’ s drive to Washington. About'4,000 people live there. But on the way to the capital,the highway passes the remains of closed businesses. The shops failed largely because of competition from shopping centers in larger cities.
Mr. Paulin says when some people drive into Indian Head and see the empty buildings,they just turn around and leave. He hopes to return the town to a friendly, successful place where people want to live and visit. “Many years ago,Indian Head was a booming town,and that's what I want to get back,“he said.
Right now,people who own the old empty buildings are permitted to use their p’rapeW/es (財產) to reduce their taxes. Mr. Paulin wants to change the situation. He plans to charge owners a fee for their empty buildings,and to increase the cost every year. Only in that way will owners hurry to establish a new business. The owner of a local food store,Kelly Murphy, says, “Mr. Paulin's age doesn’t bother me. I know he's excited,and when we get around,him,we feel excited,too. We haven’t felt like that for many years in this town."
Mr. Paulin began participating in city politics when he was ten years old. At that time,he urged town officials to put on signs urging drivers to be aware of pedestrians. Mr. Paulin succeeded. Since then,he has been involved in the town government.
As a mayor,Mr. Paulin earns $6,000 a year. In comparison ,most U.S. legislators (立法委員) earn an average salary of about $40,000 a year. Mr. Paulin lives at home and takes college classes online. His mother,Wendy Paulin,says her soil accepts challenges and works on problems until he has a solution.

Lots of students do experiments on plants for their science projects. Scientists do this as well. Have you ever heard of a lie detector? It is something that police can use to figure out if you are lying or not. The machine can feel the energy in your body. If your energy moves fast,it shows you are nervous and may be lying. If it is slow and steady,it shows you are relaxed and probably honest.
Scientists attached these same machines to plants,not to see if they are lying of course,but to see what makes them nervous,what makes them calm,and what makes them excited. They found many interesting things. First,they discovered when live fish were being cut up or live lobsters(龍蝦) were being boiled,the plants got very upset. They seemed to respond to the fear of the living seacreatures.
Besides,scientists found the plants actually got excited when their owners were coming home. What was even more interesting was that the plants got very excited 'when the owners stepped into the room. It seemed that the plants were so connected with their owners that they could pick up their owners’ intention to come home.
Plants also seemed not to like to be cut. When the owners pulled out a pair of scissors to cut them,they got upset. Scientists tried to frighten the plants and pretended they were going to cut them,but the plants did not get nervous in that case at all. It was as if they could read the owners’ mind. So,when taking care of your plants,remember that they are sensitive and smart.
1. The first paragraph mainly talks about.

The daily hard work in the office can be extremely exhausting. Staring at a computer screen for eight hours a day seems like modem business practice. It's also a common belief that you 5 re more likely to complete your "tasks if you keep your bottom planted in your chair all day. But that opinion is erroneous. In fact,taking breaks regularly throughout your workday can increase your productivity and creativity as it helps to keep the mental iuices flowing. ,

In addition,new research shows that your brain can be trained and developed iike a muscle. Mental concentration is part of that training. Just as your muscles become tired after a workout,so does your brain. It needs a rest to recover and move on.
So,what can you do if you feel guilty about taking a break during the workday? Remember that taking breaks is a good,necessary thing. We* re trying to prove ourselves and our worth to the company,which makes us think that taking breaks prevents us from achieving our goals,but in fact it's not. It's necessary to do your best work.
