At dawn on Friday,May 19,1780,farmers in New England stopped to wonder at the pink color of the sun.By noon the sky had darkened to midnight blackness,causing Americans,still in the painful struggle of a prolonged war of independence,to light candles and tremble at thoughts of the Last Judgment.As the birds quieted and no storm accompanied the darkness,men and women crowded into churches,where one minister commented that “The people were very attentive”.John Greenleaf Whittier later wrote that “Men prayed,and women wept;all ears grew sharp...”
A recent study of researchers,led by Richard Guyette from the University of Missouri Tree-Ring Laboratory,has shown that vast forest fires in the Algonquin Highlands of southern Ontario and elsewhere in Canada brought this event upon New England.The scientists have discovered “fire scars” on the rings for that year,left when the heat of a wildfire has killed a part of a tree’s cambium (形成层).Evidence collected also points to a drought that year.An easterly wind and low barometric pressure(低气压) helped force smoke into the upper atmosphere.“The record fits pretty close,”says Guyette.“We had the right fuel,the drought.The conditions were all there.”
Lacking the ability to communicate quickly over long distances,Americans in 1780 remained in the dark about the event,which had disappeared by the next day.Over the next several months,the papers carried heated debates about what brought the darkness.Some were the voices of angry prediction,such as one Massachusetts farmer who wrote,“Oh! Backsliding New England,attend now to the things which belong to your peace before they are forever hid from your eyes.”Others gave different answers.One stated that “a flaming star” had passed between the earth and the sun.Ash,argued another commentator.The debate,carried on throughout New England,where there were no scientific journals or academies yet,reflected an unfolding culture of scientific enquiry already sweeping the Western world,a revolution nearly as influential as the war for independence from the English.
New Englanders would not soon forget that dark day;it lived on in folklore,poems,and sermons for generations.

A.the pink color of the sun |
B.the darkened sky at daytime |
C.the Last Judgment on Friday |

How Room Designs Affect Our Work and Feelings
Architects have long had the feeling that the places we live in can affect our thoughts, feelings and behaviors. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical(经验的,实证的) basis. They are discovering how to design spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused and lead to relaxation.
Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2007, Joan Meyers-Levy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room's ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook.
In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant's ability to concentrate. Nancy Wells and her colleagues at Cornell University found in their study that kids who experienced the greatest increase in greenness as a result of a family move made the most gains on a standard test of attention.
Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and it seems to, according to a study led by C. Kenneth Tanner, head of the School Design & Planning Laboratory at the University of Georgia. Tanner and his team found that students in classrooms with unblocked views of at least 50 feet outside the window had higher scores on tests of vocabulary, language arts and maths than did students whose classrooms primarily overlooked roads and parking lots.
Recent study on room lighting design suggests than dim(暗淡的) light helps people to loosen up. If that is true generally, keeping the light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation. Researchers of Harvard Medical School also discovered that furniture with rounded edges could help visitors relax.
So far scientists have focused mainly on public buildings. "We have a very limited number of studies, so we're almost looking at the problem through a straw(吸管)," architect David Allison says. "How do you take answers to very specific questions and make broad, generalized use of them? That's what we're all struggling with." What does Joan Meyers-Levy focus on in her research?
A.Light. |
B.Ceilings. |
C.Windows. |
D.Furniture. |

A.the shape of furniture may affect people's feelings |
B.lower ceilings may help improve students' creativity |
C.children in a dim classroom may improve their grades |
D.students in rooms with unblocked views may feel relaxed |

A.the problem is not approached step by step |
B.the researches so far have faults in themselves |
C.the problem is too difficult for researchers to detect |
D.research in this area is not enough to make generalized patterns |
