I walked along the sidewalk that borders the west side of Central Park this morning，wondering at its shape：Hexagonal（六邊形的） paving stones underneath my feet were bordered by brickwork，with a tidy stone wall running alongside.Just past the wall lay the park itself，where delicate branches of leafless trees reached to the blue sky，and sparrows emerged from trees.
   The contrast between the straight-lined，orderly，man-made sidewalk and the complex diversity of nature just beyond its border made me think about the differences between natural creation and man's creation.
   The world holds many examples of circles：the moon，grapes，drops of water and the center of flowers.Triangles（三角形） are readily evident，too.There are kitty cat noses and ears，mountain peaks and river deltas.
   But what about the most common shape in the man-made world，the rectangle（矩形）？I searched my brain for natural equals.Though I thought and thought，I came up with only two：teeth and salt crystals.That surprised me.Do we prefer rectangles simply because it's easier to plan and build with blocks and straight lines？Or does it have something to do with the idea that humans tend to assume life is supposed to be linear？I don't know.
   There are bent lines everywhere.As I look at the beauty of，a tree in winter，with its branches reaching skyward in a seemingly untidy but obviously planned pattern，I can apprehend something of what that means.
   Our world isn't always tidy and predictable in the way that I want it to be.There are twists and turns in my life that I can't foresee or predict.That doesn't mean branching off in unexpected directions is bad or wrong.It means that when I find myself in each new place，I need to continue growing and reaching upward.

  • 3．Muzak The next time you go into a bank，a store，or a supermarket，stop and listen．What do you hear？（1）
    ．It's similar to the music you listen to，but it's not exactly the same．That's because this music was especially designed to relax you，or to give you extra energy．Sometimes you don't even realize the music is playing，but you react to the music anyway．
       Quiet background music used to be called "elevator （電梯） music" because we often heard it in elevators．But lately we hear it in more and more places，and it has a new name "Muzak"．About one-third of the people in America listen to "Muzak" every day．The music plays for 15 minutes at a time，with short pauses in between．It is always more lively between ten and eleven in the morning，and between three and four in the afternoon，when people are more tired．（2）
    ．
       If you listen to Muzak carefully，you will probably recognize the names of many of the songs．Some musicians or songwriters don't want their songs to be used as Muzak，but others are happy when their songs are chosen．Why？（3）
    ．
       Music is often played in public places because it is designed to make people feel less lonely when they are in an airport or a hotel．It has been proven that Muzak does what it is designed to do．Tired office workers suddenly have more energy when they hear the pleasant sound of Muzak in the background． （4）
    ．Supermarket shoppers buy 38 percent more groceries．
       （5）
    ．They say it's boring to hear the same songs all the time．But other people enjoy hearing Muzak in public places．They say it helps them relax and feel calm．One way or another，Muzak affects everyone．Some farmers even say their cows give more milk when they hear Muzak!

    B．The music gives them extra energy．
    C．Music is playing in the background．
