Teamwork has been behind some of humanity's greatest achievements — the Beatles' biggest hits，putting a man on the moon，the smartphone.Do Zoom and other forms of video interaction，which get popular as working from home has become the norm during COVID-19， mar the creative process that led to such achievements？Yes，according to new research.
   "We initially started the project in 2016 because we heard from managers that innovation was one of the biggest challenges with video interaction.And I'll admit，I was initially doubtful，" said Melanie Brucks，author of the study.
   Brucks spent four years exploring whether virtual interaction really had any impact on people's ability to generate innovative ideas.She found 602 people，including university students and staff，and divided them into pairs to work on tasks either in person or virtually.The tasks involved coming up with new uses for everyday things，such as bubble wrap （氣泡墊），and each room had the same five items.The performance of each pair was determined by how many ideas they came up with and the novelty and value of their ideas as ranked by student judges.Researchers also used eye-tracking software，which found that virtual participants spent more time looking directly at their partner，as opposed to looking around the room.
   "This visual focus on the screen narrows cognition （認(rèn)知）.In other words，people are more focused when interacting on video，which hurts the broad，expansive idea generation process，" Brucks said.Jay Olson，a postdoctoral scholar who studies ways to measure creativity，said that people often look to their surroundings to help them generate ideas. "Objects in the room can stimulate new associations easier than trying to generate them all internally，" said Olson.
   Ellen Langer，a professor of psychology at Harvard University，said the new research was an important first step.However，she said it was a mistake to conclude that creativity and videoconferencing are incompatible （不相容的）. "Perhaps many of us make friends faster in person than over Zoom，and creativity develops when we're relaxed.But when Zooming from home，people are probably more relaxed than when in an experiment，" she added.

1．Whenever I heard strangers singing out loud，whether it was in the supermarket or on the street，I used to think how annoying it was.That was until a few months ago.
   Recently，my daughter Zoe started her second year of middle school with a new sense of awareness，asking me to fix the "little girl" pattern on her wheelchair seat.Not wanting her to stand out at school，I spent hours filling in pale yellow stars with a black marker，eager to erase whatever childish signs I could.Shortly after，Zoe got really sick and had to miss 20 days of school.This meant our days were filled with rushing between hospital appointments and meetings with the school，as we tried to make sure she didn't fall behind on her schoolwork.
   I felt pulled back to a time when she was little and her sickness was a huge part of her life.Back then，it seemed like Zoe lived in hospitals，as she spent so much time in them.No matter how sick she got，however，she always had a positive attitude.But this was different：Zoe was no longer singing like she normally did.Zoe usually sings all the time，whether she's playing，riding in the car，or just doing her homework.There was no need for a radio in our house；Zoe provided the music for us.Consumed （被折磨）with my motherly worries， it was more concerning to me than her sickness.
   One day，however，I heard her beautiful voice as I was cooking dinner.I stopped what I was doing and just smiled. "Pure delight. '' I thought to myself.Her voice slowly grew stronger，and soon，both the car and the house were filled with her music once more.How had I not noticed her singing had completely stopped，weeks and weeks ago？Now，thankfully，she's back in school，smiling and singing，and I'm thankful for each and every song she sings.
   These days，whenever I hear a stranger singing a song to themselves，I don't get mad.Instead，I smile，as I know that by singing out loud，they're simply sharing their happiness with the world.

（1）When did the author feel bothered？

A.When hearing strangers singing.
B.When her daughter started middle school.
C.When fixing stars on the seat.
D.When her daughter became sensitive.
（2）Which of the following best describes Zoe？

A.Considerate and helpful.
B.Competitive and hardworking.
C.Optimistic and strong-willed.
D.Self-aware and modest.
（3）What does "it" in Paragraph 3 refer to？

A.Zoe's love for music.
B.Zoe's falling behind at school.
C.Zoe's silence during her sickness.
D.Zoe's slow recovery from her sickness.
（4）What does singing mean to people，according to the author？

A.A way to get rid of stress.
B.A way to express love to others.
C.A way to communicate with others.
D.A way to share joy.

2．Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors.I feel there are a number of reasons for this.
   Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices.This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves.If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probably children would buy less take-away food.
   There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight.I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops.If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives.
   There is a third reason for this situation.Children these days take very little exercise.They do not walk to school.When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play video games.Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣），it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food.What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports.
   The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits.

（1）According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？

A．Those who often do sports.
B．Those who often walk to school.
C．Those who often watch television.
D．Those who often have meals at home.
（2）What does the underlined word "steering" in the last sentence most probably mean？

A．Moving.
B．Forcing.
C．Driving.
D．Guiding.
（3）The main purpose of the text is to

.
A．tell a story
B．provide facts
C．give advice
D．compare opinions
