Being bred is n fun, especially at wrk. Hwever, a recent study frm the Research Schl f Management at the Australian Natinal University suggests that bredm may have an unexpected benefit.
In a study, 52 participants were given a bring task f srting red and green beans fr 30 minutes, while anther grup f 49 participants was asked t create art prjects with paper, beans, and glue. Then bth grups were instructed t spend five minutes n a creative task. Surprisingly, the grup that had perfrmed the bring task prduced a higher quantity and quality f creative ideas than the grup that had taken part in the art prject.
“Bredm is nt necessarily terrible based n my research,” says the study’s lead authr, Guihyun Park. “Peple want t get ut f a bring state, s they tend t seek nvelty, which can lead t unique thinking and bring ut creativity.”Mrever, it’s als wrth nting that studies have fund that nt everyne experiences the same level f creative benefits frm bredm. Researchers have discvered in ne experiment that participants wh are pen t new experiences and drive n t achieve specific gals are mre likely t see psitive effects frm being bred.
Finally, Park admits that nt every type f jb allws a state f bredm, and it really can be detrimental t sme imprtant wrk. “I wuld say at security jbs where yu need t stay alert（警惕的）all the time, like plice r security guards, bredm will keep yur mind wandering, which is really bad,” says Park.“Als, thse jbs require less creativity but much attentin t details instead; bredm wn’t help much there.”
But fr designers and anyne in a creative field, bredm is nt smething t fear, but t embrace （欣然接受）. J. K. Rwling, the authr f the Harry Ptter series, has shared hw she wuld spend hurs sitting n trains, letting her mind wander and cming up with new idea s fr her stries . This bredm allwed her t tap int her creativity and imaginatin, leading t ne f the mst belved bk series ever.
28．What did the recent study find abut bredm?
A．It inspires creative ideas.
B．It raises peple’s patience.
C．It affects ways f wrking.
D．It leads t negative feelings.
29．Which kind f peple are mre likely t benefit frm bredm?
A．Peple wh are afraid f change.
B．Peple wh tend t fcus n details.
C．Peple wh are willing t try new things.
D．Peple wh enjy cmpeting with thers.
30．What des the underlined wrd “detrimental” in paragraph 4 prbably mean?

A cuple f years ag, I had the pleasure f teaching a yung cuple t dive（潜水）in Thailand n ne f my favrite reefs（礁）. The weather cnditins were perfect, with mild currents and excellent sight f the beautiful cean and the bright, vivid crals. Even with their masks n, I culd see the smiles n my students’ faces.
The div e culdn’t have gne better. Hwever, things changed as we made ur way back t the bat. As we swam back alng the reef, I nticed the current（水流）changing As it did, huge quantities f trash and plastic began t fld the area . I saw small reef fish swimming amngst the straws, plastic bags and ther bits f rubbish. I nticed that sme f the fish were pecking away（啄）at the plastic. By the time we gt back nbard the bat, there were bits f plastic flating all arund us. It lked mre like a trash site than the cean.
When I gt hme, the first thing I did was t g nline and research plastic pllutin in the cean . I was surprised t find ut that ver the past decade, divers and beach lvers have seen a lt f changes in the ceans. Even very remte lcatins were suddenly filled with plastic and ther chemicals. Plastics were entering ur ceans at an alarming rate —up t 12 millin tns each year. This huge amunt f plastic was wreaking havc（破坏）nt nly n the envirnment, but als n the marine animals that lived in the cean, such as sea turtles and sea birds. Sme f them were sadly mistaking the pieces f plastic fr fd. Pllutin has brught ur ceans t the pint f disaster, and unless we make a great change, then ur ceans and all f its living things, will be at risk.
Since that unfrgettable plastic-plluted dive, I have becme an cean supprter and spend my days trying t get the message ut there abut just hw harmful cean pllutin is, nt nly t marine life, but als t mankind.

One pssible versin
Then the idea came t me: I culd appeal t my fellw divers t take actin. I reached ut t the lcal divers, wh immediately started supprting me. The fllwing mnths saw us cllecting pieces f plastic that we saw flating past and putting them in the pcket f ur diving suits. If we were walking alng the beach, we made sure t cllect all the plastic that we saw n the sand. The effects were nticeable almst immediately. I culd see the beach returning t its riginal beauty. Hwever, I knew that these individual actins weren’t enugh t stp the plastic pllutin crisis unless cmpanies stpped prducing s much plastic in the first place.
I decided t take it a step further t try and stp thse cmpanies prducing single-use plastics. One way in particular std ut because it was easy t implement, yet its effects wuld be far reaching. Whenever I fund a piece f branded plastic waste in the cean, n a river bank r beach, I tk a picture f it and psted it t scial media, tagged the brand, and used the hashtag Is This Yurs? Since I started this apprach, I have reached ut t a dzen cmpanies in this way and gt mre and mre fllwers. We may be limited in what we can d, but I believe that a single spark can start a prairie fire.
