John von Neumann was the oldest of 3 children of a banker, and his speed of learning new ideas and of solving problems stood out early .At 17, his father tried to persuade him not to become a mathematician because he may lead a poor life being a mathematician, and so von Neumann agreed to study chemlstry as well. In 1926, at 23, be received a degree in chemical engineering and a Ph.D. in mathematics. From then on, mathematics provided well enough for him, and he never had to turn to chemistry.

In 1930, von Neumann visited Princeton University for a year and then became a professor there. His first book was published in 1932. In 1933, the Insdtute for Advanced Study wat formed, and be became one of the 6 full-time people in the School of Mathematics (Einstein was one of the others).

World War II hugely changed von Neumann's areas of interest. Until 1940 he had been a great pure (纯粹的）mathematician. During and after the war, he became one of the best mathematicians who put mathematics theories into practice. During the last part of the war he became interested in computing machines and made several fundamental contributions. After the war von Neumann continued his work with computers, and was generally very active in government service. He received many awards, was president of the American Mathematical Society and was a member of the Atomic Energy Commission. He died in 1957 of cancer.

Von Neumann really was a legend (传奇)in his own time, and there are a number of stories about him. His driving ability is a part of this legend.

Feeling a bit bored? It could be just what you need to produce your best ideas, excite your creativity or simply give your brain a rest.

Nowadays, in the age of round-the-clock entertainment, it’s (technically) trickier to be bored. If the show you’re watching has lost its spark, you can easily amuse yourself on social media without even leaving the sofa. But that’s not necessarily a good thing. Feeling disengaged from the task in hand, or a lack of stimulation (刺激), does have its benefits, according to researchers at the University of Central Lancashire.

Being bored motivates you to search out something less boring to do. For example, if you decide there’s nothing worth watching on TV, you might choose to switch off and take up a new hobby. This, according to researchers, can explain why the lockdowns of the past two years saw a surge (激增) in creativity among people stuck at home from banana-bread-making to picking up a paintbrush for the first time since childhood.

But what about those times when you have no choice but to stick with the boring situation, waiting for a bus, for instance? The good news is that the boredom you’re feeling now could spark your creativity later, says a 2019 study published in the Academy of Management Discoveries journal. People who’d taken part in a bean-sorting task later performed better at coming up with creative ideas than another group who’d been given something more interesting to do first.

Ultimately, don’t take it for granted that there’ll always be something close at hand to entertain us. With boredom, we will not run the risk of becoming boring ourselves.

8. What does the author imply in paragraph 2?

A. Wondering mind can be healthy.

B. Social media can surely entertain us.

C. Being bored may be something good.

D. Being involved in the task is beneficial.

9. Why was the surge in creativity seen recently?

A. People were stimulated by boredom.

B. People were better equipped at home.

C. People had more hobbies to choose from.

D. People were more concerned about mental being.

10. What is the purpose of the bean-sorting task in the 2019 study?

A. To create a boring situation. B. To reduce people’s boredom.

C. To make a funny performance. D. To show an entertainment at hand.

11. What is the best title of the passage?

A. What is the point of creativity?

B. Are we more easily bored nowadays?

C. How can we deal with daily boredom?

D. Does boredom make us more creative?

D

With the young unable to afford to leave home and the old at risk of isolation(孤独), more families are choosing to live together.

The doorway to peace and quiet, for Nick Bright at least, leads straight to his mother-in-law, she lives on the ground floor, while he lives upstairs with his wife and their two daughters.

Four years ago they all moved into a three-storey Victorian house in Bristol-one of a growing number of multigenerational families in the UK living together under the same roof. They share a front door and a washing machine but Rita Whitehead has her own kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room on the ground floor.

“We floated the idea to my mum of sharing at a house,” says Kathryn Whitehead. Rita cuts in: “We spoke more with Nick because I think it’s a big thing for Nick to live with his mother-in-law.”

And what does Nick think? “From my standpoint, it all seems to work very well. Would I recommend it? Yes, I think I would.”

It’s hard to tell exactly how many people agree with him, but research indicates that the numbers have been rising for some time. Official reports suggest that the number of households with three generations living together had risen from 325,000 in 2001to 419,000 in 2013.

Other varieties of multigenerational family are more common. Some people live with their elderly parents; many more adult children are returning to the family home, if they ever left. It is said that about 20% of 25-34-year-olds live with their parents, compared with 16% in 1991. The total number of all multigenerational households in Britain is thought to be about 1.8 million.

Stories like that are more common in parts of the world where multigenerational living is more firmly rooted. In India, particularly outside cities, young women are expected to move in with their husband’s family when they get married.

12. Who mainly uses the ground floor in the Victorian house in Bristol?

A. Rita. B. Nick. C. Kathryn D. The daughters.

13. What is Nick’s attitude towards sharing the house with his mother-in-law?

A. Negative. B. Tolerant. C. Positive. D. Unwilling.

14. What is the author’s statement about multigenerational family based on?

A. Family traditions. B. Financial reports.

C. Public opinions. D. Published statistics.

15. What is the text mainly about?

A. A rising trend of living in the UK. B. Conflicts between generations.

C. A housing problem in Britain. D. Lifestyles in different countries.
