My mom was one of those people.My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen.
21、While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.” A
22、t fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally b
23、elieved her. A year later, I returned to school walking on my own!When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real
24、 turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going
25、to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. Bu
26、t with my mothers words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1, 759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.You may not have started out life in

39、sic, noises and pleasant smells into the classroom to see if it improves exam results. Could it work? Why do songs stick in our heads? What does your school smell like? Is it noisy or peaceful?It might not seem important, but a growing body of research suggests that smells and sounds can have an imp
40、act on learning, performance and creativity. Indeed, some head teachers have recently taken to broadcasting noises and pumping smells into their schools to see whether it can boost grades. Is there anything in it? And if so, what are the implications for the way we work and study?There is certainly
41、some well-established research to suggest that some noises can have a harmful effect on learning. Numerous studies over the past 15 years have found that children attending schools under the flight paths of large airports fall behind in their exam results. Bridget Shield, a professor of acoustics (声
42、学) at London South Bank University, and Julie Dockrell, from the Institute of Education, have been conducting studies on the effects of all sorts of noises, such as traffic and sirens (汽笛), as well as noise generated by the children themselves. When they recreated those particular sounds in an exper
43、imental setting while children completed various learning tasks, they found a significant negative effect on exam scores. “Everything points to a bad impact of the noise on childrens performance, in numeracy（计算能力）, in literacy, and in spelling,” says Shield. The noise seemed to have an especially ha
44、rmful effect on children with special needs.Whether background sounds are beneficial or not seems to depend on what kind of noise it is and the volume. In a series of studies published last year, Ravi Mehta from the College of Business at Illinois and his colleagues tested peoples creativity while e
45、xposed to a soundtrack made up of background noises such as coffee-shop chatter and construction-site drilling at different volumes. They found that people were more creative when the background noises were played at a medium level than when volume was low. Loud background noise, however, damaged th
46、eir creativity. Many teachers all over the world already play music to students in class. Many are inspired by the belief that hearing music can boost IQ in later tasks, the so-called Mozart effect. While the evidence actually suggests its hard to say classical music boosts brainpower, researchers d
47、o think pleasant sounds before a task can sometimes lift your mood and help you perform well, says Perham, who has done his own studies on the phenomenon. The key appears to be that you enjoy what youre hearing. “If you like the music or you like the sound even listening to a Stephen King novel then
48、 you do better. It doesnt matter about the music.” he says.So, it seems that schools that choose to prevent disturbing noises and create positive soundscapes could enhance the learning of their students, so long as they make careful choices. Yet this isnt the only sense being used to affect learning. Special educational needs students at Sydenham high sc
