9 . Throughout history, people have been attracted to puzzles. From Ancient Greek riddles to brain-teasing video games, people have tried to solve problems for fun. But what is it about these puzzles that makes us enjoy them?

It could be that the desire to find a solution is linked to us. A study has shown that when people complete crossword puzzles, it can excite the reward centre in the brain. One of the researchers behind the study, Yongtaek Oh, suggests that problem-solving ability provides an evolutionary advantage — it can help us survive! It’s clear that this “aha” moment is very enjoyable, but it’s not just completing a puzzle that people enjoy.

David Shariatmadari highlights that solving the best puzzles requires a combination of luck and skill. He points out that the element of chance makes it more open to a wide range of people, while the need for skill gives players a feeling that they are in control. This also helps to provide a balance between being something challenging and something achievable. Michael Vilensky, a psychologist at Ohio State University, tells us that puzzles offer us a situation that we can control and resolve, which can be satisfying when compared with other life challenges. Therapist Elizabeth Hinkel, argues that by requiring concentration, puzzles can provide mindful moments away from the stresses of everyday life. Puzzles can also have a social aspect, whether that’s making it easy to share your grades on social media, or the fact that people are keen to help each other find clues and come up with the answer.

Puzzles and fun may even be dependent on each other, researchers at Drexel University have suggested. When looking at brain images, they found that some people preparing to do a puzzle showed activity associated with more positive moods and that these people were able to come up with more solutions.

1. What does Yongtaek Oh find about crossword puzzles?

A．People have a desire to solve them.	B．People can not survive without them.

2. What is the benefit of concentrating on puzzles?

10 . 阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Grace’s father, Mike, couldn’t get out of bed for weeks after her mother died and when he finally did, he had lost his job. As the money ran out, the debt couldn’t be paid. It seemed like some wild beast had jumped onto her dad’s back and was killing him. So Mike sold the house and the beast on his back seemed to go with it.

Luckily, Miss Fay, who was an rich artist, was happy to give her abandoned caravan(大篷车)to them. In return, Mike had to tidy up Fay’s garden and look after her house when she was away.

Mike had once been a famous violin player. He had won competitions and been on television shows. Grace loved to watch how her father played the violin, which made her heart sing. Since her mother had died, however, the violin had stayed still and silent in its case. But now, after moving to the caravan, her father played the violin every day. He even taught Grace to play.

One day, the teacher announced that a talent scout(星探)would come to the school to look for someone to play the violin in the musical Mr Spy. Grace kept quiet because she thought she was not good enough to play for an audience. However, her friend told the teacher she had a violin and could play it.

“Get prepared for it, the talent scout will come next month,” the teacher sad. “And oh, if you are selected, the pay is good!”

After school, Grace kicked at the pebbles angrily along the way. She hated being the centre of attention. There was no way she would play the violin. No amount of money would persuade her.

As soon as she arrived at Fay’s house, Grace saw police officers outside the house. Fay and her dad were talking in low voices and they didn’t look very happy.

“What happened?” asked Grace.

“Break-in,” said her dad, “all Fay’s paintings and her painting tools have been stolen.” She looked very sad. So was Grace’s father, he kept blaming himself for not being a very good guard.
