What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and would rather follow than lead.
Colors do influence our moods (情緒). A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(令人壓抑的). There was a black bridge over the Thames River, near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area -- until it was repainted green.
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.

A．yellow, orange, or redB．yellow, black, or red

Sometimes we feel good, such as when we get good grades or when something good happens. Sometimes we feel bad, such as when we argue（爭吵） with our classmates or when the teachers criticize(批評)us. Both kinds of feelings are normal(普通的). Of course, we all enjoy good feelings, but when we feel unhappy, sometimes we don’t know what to do about it. Here is a plan that will help you when your feelings are bothering you.
1. ACCEPT your feelings. Say to yourself, "I am sad." "I am scared." "I am angry." "I am embarrassed（尷尬）." It’s all right to have these feelings.
2. RELAX and have a rest before you act. Take slow deep breaths (呼吸)and relax your body. Imagine that you are in a safe place. You could listen to some music or sing a beautiful song!
3. THINK about ways to help yourself. Thinking helps you do something smart instead of hurting yourself or making things worse.
4. DO something to help yourself. Maybe you can talk to someone, or do something you enjoy. If it doesn’t work, go back to step 3.

Cars are lots of fun, but they could also be dangerous. We have to be careful when we drive them or ride in them.
It's always a good idea to put on your seat belt when you're in a car. Why? Think about this example: You put an egg on a skateboard and give it a push. If the skateboard hits a stone, it will stop, but the egg won't. It will fly through the air, hit the ground and break.
Now, think what would happen if you tied the egg to the skateboard. When the skateboard hits a stone, the egg won't go flying; it will stay safely on the skateboard.
Volvo, a famous Swedish carmaker, was the first to use seat belts in 1849.
Air bags are also very important for car safety, because sometimes a seat belt isn't enough. If the car is going really fast and runs into something, seat belts could even hurt the people who wear them. Most new cars have air bags in front of and next to the seats. When a car hits something, its air bags will come out quickly in less than one second to keep the people inside safe.

小題4:Air bags are important for cars because _.
A．they are made of plastic
B．they can also help us to keep safe in a car

Our spiritual intelligence quotient, SQ (精神智商)helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.
　　While we’re all born with SQ, most of us even don’t know that we have it.  Luckily, you don’t have to sign up for classes to learn how to enhance(加強(qiáng)) your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:
　　Sit Quietly. The step of developing SQ begins in solitude （獨(dú)處） and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to keep away from your busy, noisy, complicated life and make yourself do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door of your bedroom, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.
　　Step Outside. For many people, nature makes their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.
　　Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.
　　Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (經(jīng)文). Others ask open-ended (無確定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But don’t expect an answer to arrive through  some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective (角度) you never considered before.
　　Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut feelings (直覺) to warn us of danger, SQ usually nudges （漸漸推動） us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.　　
小題1:To enhance your SQ, you should first _______________.
A．stand loneliness and silence
B．make your life simpler and less busy
C．give up the daily things in your life
D．listen more to your whisper
小題2:The underlined phrase “tune in to your spirit” in the fifth paragraph probably means ________________.
A．get your spirit relaxedB．keep up your spirit
C．listen to your spiritD．change your spirit
小題3: What will happen after people ask questions of themselves?
A．People will lead to a greater good.
B．People will think about a problem in a different way.
C．People will expect answers through e-mails.
D．People will keep away from their busy life.
小題4: What is the best title for the passage?
A．Advantages and disadvantages of SQ
B．The relationship between your SQ and you
C．What SQ is and in what ways it can be improved
D．What SQ is and in what ways you can make your life easier

Millions of stars are travelling about in space. A few form groups which travel together, but most of them travel alone.
And they travel through a universe which is so large that one star seldom comes near to another. For the most important part each star makes its journey in complete loneliness, like a ship on an empty ocean. The ship will be well over a million miles from its nearest neighbour. From this it is easy to understand why a star seldom finds another anywhere near it.
We believe, however, that some two thousand million years ago, another star wandering(漫游) through space, happened to come near our sun just as the sun and the moon raised its tides(潮汐) on the earth, so this star must have raised tides on the surface of the sun. But they were very different from the small tides that are raised in our oceans; A large tidal(潮汐的) wave must have travelled over the surface of the sun, at last forming a mountain so high that we cannot imagine it. As the cause of the disturbance came nearer, so the mountain rose higher and higher. And before the star began to move away again, its tidal pull had become so powerful that this mountain was torn to pieces and thrown off small parts of itself into space.
These small pieces have been going round the sun ever since. They are the planets.
小題1:Most stars are _________________________.
A．following a regular path in space
B．moving about without a fixed course
C．seldom wandering about in the universe
D．a(chǎn)lways travelling together
小題2:Some two thousand years ago, the mountain on the sun was raised probably because _____________.
A．the star moved away from the sun
B．a(chǎn)nother star happened to come near the sun
C．the sun and the moon raised the tides on the earth
D．a(chǎn) large tidal of wave travelled over the surface of the sun
小題3:The article suggests that _______________.
A．how space formed
B．our earth exists before the sun
C．no one knows where the earth comes from
D．our earth used to be a high mountain in the sun
小題4:The expression “the cause of the disturbance” refers to ________.
A．the large tidal waveB．the powerful tidal pull
C．the star coming near the sunD．one of sun’s planets
小題5: In the article, the writer mainly wants to tell us ______________.
A．where the planets in the universe came from
B．how the high mountains were formed on the sun
C．that the universe is so large that we cannot imagine it
D．why the tides over the surface of the sun were so powerful

He says it’s a beautiful place to live in.” Most Americans will then willingly talk about their experiences of living in or visiting that city or place.
