问题     Why are workers prone to sending each other pictures of lovely animals or viral videos that provoke choked giggles in small bedrooms around the world? New research suggests that people use these types of so-called distractions to subconsciously boost their moods, which can lead to increased creativity and better problem solving in the workplace.
    Researchers from the University of Western Ontario divided study participants into three groups and put them into specific moods using music and video. The first group listened to an upbeat Mozart piece and watched a video of a laughing baby; the second listened to a musical score from the movie Schindler’s List and watched a news report about an earthquake) and the third listened to music and watched a video that were shown not to affect mood. Volunteers were then asked to learn to recognize a pattern that existed in a problem.
    The results of the study, which were published in Psychological Science, the journal of the Association for Psychological Science, showed that the participants in the happy group were vastly better at discerning the pattern than those who were put into negative or neutral moods.
    Ruby Nadler, one of the study researchers and a graduate student at the University of Ontario, said the takeaway from this study was that positive moods are helpful in enhancing creative problem solving, while also promoting flexible and careful thinking. "If you have a project where you want to think innovatively, or you have a problem to carefully consider, being in a positive mood can help you to do that," Nadler said in a news release for the Association for Psychological Science.
    So next time your coworker sends you a link to the latest laugh-inducing viral video, take a moment to check it out before tackling the most complicated item on your to-do list. Your boss will thank you.
What should workers do if they want to better problem solving according to the research?
选项 A、They should listen to Mozart when they are working.
B、They should send amusing pictures and videos to each other.
C、They should have a good rest in their small bedrooms.
D、They should send lovely animals and videos about them.
答案B
解析 推理判断题。题干问根据研究结果，如果工人想更好地解决问题，他们该做什么?根据原文内容可知，研究结果显示人们通过这些所谓的娱乐方式能够无意识地改善心情，从而提高创造能力以及更好地解决工作中遇到的问题。因此，可以推知，工人们应该发送一些能够让人心情愉悦的图片或视频．以保持心情愉快，提高工作效率。故正确答案为B)“他们应该向彼此发送让人心情愉悦的图片或视频”。
