阅读理解     A new report says living in a city makes it harder for people to concentrate（集中）on some tasks. The research found that people who live in rural areas can focus better than people in urban areas. The study is from Goldsmiths College, which is part of the University of London. Head researcher Dr Karina Linnell and her team made great contributions. They studied how two groups of people did the same "thinking tasks". The team went to a remote (偏远的) part of Namibia, southwest Africa, to study the Himba tribe. Himba people live a very basic life in the desert. They are still doing traditional farming. The team also studied members of the same tribe who had moved to the nearest town. Dr Linnell said the tribe who lived in the desert did much better on the tests than those in the town. It's really interesting and shocking.     Dr Linnell said their research may lead to changes in the way companies operate. In the future, workers may move from cities to live and work in the countryside. Linnell said there are too many things around us in the city that stop us from thinking about one thing for a long time. This means we do not work at our best. She asked, "What if, for example, companies realized certain tasks would be better carried out by employees based outside of the urban environment? There their concentration ability is better." The past century has seen billions of people move from the countryside to big cities. In the future, the trend may not continue. If Dr Linnell's research is true, this century might see many of those people return to the great outdoors. Let's wait to see what will happen. （1） What did Dr Linnell and her team conclude from the study on the Himba tribe? A . Himba people are cleverer than others. B . Himba people aren't used to the life in city. C . Himba people focus better in the desert. D . Himba people give up traditional farming. （2） The underlined word "outdoors" in the last paragraph probably refers to "________". A . villages B . cities C . towns D . countries （3） What is the main purpose of the text? A . To remind people to focus better. B . To advise people to live in countryside. C . To share a recent study with readers. D . To show the bright future to readers. 答案： C A C
