短文2

2014年，每16个美国人里就有一个因家庭事故受伤而到医院急诊室就诊。

这些事故的主要原因之一是什么？不安定的思维！

据估计，人们在醒着的一半时间里都在做白日梦。

近期心理学家注意到，人们更愿意去想一些其它的事情，而不是关注自己正在做的事情。

在一项实验里，研究人员开发了一款应用来分析白日梦和幸福之间的关系。

他们发现，正常人在做像刷牙和梳头这种个人活动时最容易走神，有大约65%的时间处于走神状态。

被调查者在感到沮丧时也更容易走神。

他们在走神时更有可能想到愉快的话题，而不是悲伤的话题。

白日梦是如何影响做白日梦的人的呢？人们在开车的时候走神更容易发生交通事故。

在一项研究中，研究人员采访了955名与交通事故相关的人，其中大多数被采访者称自己在事故发生前做了白日梦。

然而，还有一些研究表明，做白日梦也有益处。

研究发现，白日梦给了我们一个机会来思考自己的目标，同时也增加了我们的创造力。

在一项实验中，145名大学生完成了四项特别的“使用任务”，每项任务要求他们尽可能多地列出日常用品的用法。

在第一组任务完成之后，一组参与者被分配了一项简单的活动，目的是让他们走神。

当所有参与者继续进行第二组任务时，“白日梦者”的表现比其他人要优秀40%。

12. 关于人们的思维，该文章讲了什么？

13. 研究人员开发新的应用的目的是什么？

14. 根据一些研究人员的说法，白日梦对人们有什么好处？

15. 对145名大学生进行的实验有什么发现？
