兆麟中学高一下学期第十三次英语周测 出题人：高一外语组 时间：40分钟 Ⅰ.阅读理解 If a president, a philosopher, and one of the best­selling writers credited the same secret with their success, would you try to follow it too? What if the secret was something you already knew how to do? In fact, you probably do it every day.Here's what Friedrich Nietzsche wrote: “It is only ideas gained from walking that have any worth.” Thomas Jefferson：“Walking is the best possible exercise.” Charles Dickens：“If I could not walk far and fast, I think I should just explode and perish(死亡)．” Researchers have found quite a lot of connections between walking and producing ideas.A Stanford University study found that participants were 81 per cent more creative when walking as opposed to sitting.According to the study, walking outside—compared with on a treadmill(跑步机)—produces the most novel and highest­quality ideas. The movement aspect of walking is obviously key.Our creative thinking is triggered(触发) by physical movement, which is exactly why walking—with your dog, a friend, or alone—feeds creative thinking. The scenery is almost as important as the sweat.Breaking your routine with a walk can be a catalyst for fresh understanding of problems or projects.Just by going outside, you are stepping out of your familiar surroundings and your comfort zone, which is necessary if you want to open your mind to new possibilities.You can walk through a tree­filled neighbourhood.You can walk through a park and observe people joking or birds singing.Being inside, you're more likely to be lifeless, which means you don't have enough energy to wonder or create things. So instead of setting a fitness goal, why not set a creativity goal that starts with walking? Involve yourself more closely in your surroundings.Turn off your phone and give yourself the chance to be present in the world, to hear conversations and natural sounds, and to notice the way people move, etc. 1．How does the author introduce the topic?
