问题      You can take the person out of nature, but you can’t take nature out of the person. The latest scientific thinking tells us that even in the modem workplace, we’re still at the mercy of basic biology.
     Consider the workweek. For inalienable biological reasons, Monday tends to be the least productive day for most people. "It’s simply natural to feel stress when making the transition from pleasurable engagement back into work," says Arnold Brown, principal at Weiner Edrich Brown, a New York City trend-tracking firm that culls scientific findings with workplace implications. He’s come across a study, meanwhile, that shows Tuesday is our most productive day, falling after the Monday do  ldrums and before a pre-week-end slump that builds throughout the rest of the week.
     We also can’t shut out input from our senses. For example, findings show that our sense of smell is closely tied to memory. Brown’s workplace tip: Dab on a bit of scent--any scent--while you’re practicing a speech. When you deliver it, put on the same scent, and your recall will be improved.
     Studies also show there’s no substitute for natural light. It triggers our brains to produce serotonin, which makes us awake and alert. "Why are meeting moms often deep inside buildings, with muted light?" asks Brown. "Are we telling executives, ’let’s not think about things’?" [br] According to the passage, which of the following statements about Arnold Brown is tree?
选项 A、He believes that Thursday is the most productive day.
B、He found that the sense of smell influences memory.
C、He discovered that natural light makes us awake and alert.
D、He suggests that meeting rooms be put where there is enough natural light.
答案 D
解析 根据上一题解释可知A不正确；第三段说有研究表明气味与记忆紧密相关，Arnold Brown只是根据这个研究对一些单位提出提高工作效率的建议，因此B不正确；由于同样的原因C也不正确；最后一句话是Arnold Brown的一个反问：“难道我们在告诉主管们：‘让我们不要思考吧’?”，言下之意是会议室应该安排在有充足自然光源的地方，因此选D。
