        What color is your name? What color is Wednesday? These questions might sound strange to most people,but some can answer right away. One person says her name is the color red. For another person,Wednesday is blue.These people have a condition called synesthesia. This means they experience two senses at the same time. For these people,the senses of smell,sound,sight,touch,and taste are not separate (分開的) .They might see and also hear colors,for example,or hear as well as feel sounds.

        The most common form of synesthesia is to hear sounds as colors. A person with synesthesia might hear the number three as blue or the letter D as red. Someone might always see green upon hearing the word April. Another person might see different colors while listening to music. Some people also taste colors. To one person,beef might taste blue and to another,yellow. Some people experience feelings in color. For example,one person with synesthesia reports feeling pain as the color orange.

        Another form of synesthesia is to experience sounds or tastes as shapes. Some people see music as squares and

circles. Some people taste a sweet as a smooth ball. There are other forms of synesthesia as well. For one man,different words have different tastes. Some words taste like pork;others taste like potatoes or eggs.

        Synesthesia is not a common condition. Perhaps only one person in every 5 ,000 has it. For these people,the everyday world can be a colorful and interesting place.

        What do you like to have when you wake up? Do you like to have a ① /Tau/,a cup of tea or a piece of fruit?

        How about eggs,pork,sausages,beans in tomato sauce,bread and mushrooms,all cooked in an oily frying pan?

        This is,according to tales,the traditional British breakfast, otherwise known as the “Full English” or “Fry Up”. It's meaty, fatty, salty and unhealthy,and it's served all day,every day.

        We British proudly tell the story of how,when most people worked as farmers,they needed a “ real” breakfast — a“British breakfast” to get them to start for a long day's work.

        Nowadays,we often continue ,②the “Full English” is eaten daily by truck drivers and builders,who also work long hours and don't have regular meals.

        But does every British person really chew (咀嚼) through this daily mountain?

        A recent survey of those builders I mentioned before showed that less than 1 percent had a regular “Fry Up” and most actually preferred salad or sushi.③In fact studies show that about two-thirds of British people don't eat breakfast at all.

        But then,how often do you eat Beijing Roast Duck,go to Chinese opera or do a Sichuanese mask-changing dance?

        We love to talk about how much we love our traditions,even if we only actually ④/keri/ them out when guests are around. In fact, many British people don't actually know how to make a British breakfast,which is why cafes are so good at serving them to tourists.

        I did know one person who ate a Brilish breakfast every morning,though ⑤他不是英國人.He was from the Netherlands.

        Maybe he wanted to surprise the crowd with his own strange tradition—being the only person eating a British breakfast,and the only non-British person in the room.

                               (四) (2015 •杭州) 

        Are you shy? If you are,you are not alone. In fact,close to 50 percent of people are shy. Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some point^ in their lives. These days,shyness is becoming more and more common. Now,scientists are trying to understand shyness. They have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.

        Is it possible to be bom shy? Many scientists say yes. They say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter and more watchful than other babies. Interestingly,these shy babies usually have shy parents. As a result,scientists think that some shyness is genetic.

        Family size might cause people to be shy as well. Scientists at Harvard University studied shy children. They found that 66 percent of them had older brothers and sisters. As a result,they became shy. At the same time,children with no brothers and sisters may be shy as well. Growing up alone,they often play by themselves. They are not able to learn the same social skills as children from big families.

        You may also be shy because of where you were bom. When scientists studied shyness in different countries,they found surprising differences. In Japan,most people said they were shy. But in Israel,only one of three peo-ple said so. What explains the difference? One scientist says the Japanese and Israelis have different opinions of failure. In Japan,when people do not succeed,they feel bad about themselves. They blame (責備) themselves for their failure. In Israel,the opposite is true. Israelis often blame failure on outside reasons,such as family,teachers,friends,or bad luck. In Israel,freedom of opinion and risk taking are strongly supported. This may be why Israelis worry less about failure and are less shy.

        For shy people,it can be difficult to make friends,speak in class,and even get a good job. But scientists say you can get over your shyness. They suggest trying new things and practicing conversation. And don't forget—if you are shy,you are not the only one.
