What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow,orange or red? If you do,you must be an optimist,a leader,an active person who enjoys life,people and excitement. 1       Then you are probably quiet,shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green,you are strongminded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference,and the effect that colors have on human beings. 2       If you happen to love brown,you did so as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

3       A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one,and a red dress reminds us of warmth. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. 4      ,and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.

Remember that if you feel low,you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better 5       . And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.

   A. On the other hand,black is depressing.

   B. It is a fact that factory workers work better,harder

             listening to the clay 

    When I was a young girl,my father would drop me off at my art class every Saturday morning. Classes were held in the basement of an old building that had been converted into an art school. I loved that basement.

    I was determined that my own children would take Saturday art classes. I love those mornings,sitting next to my children and watching them clay(黏土) into dragons,bears,etc. If the g/aze (釉) didn’t turn out like we thought,our wise teacher would tell us with a smile that our unexpected results were “gifts from the (爐) .” She Was encouraging US not to judge our work or ourselves so harshly (苛刻地) but to be free to accent unexpected results willingly. She let US be open to new ways of seeing things,creating,and solving problems,without judgment.

    My son started class at age six. When he was handed his first ball of clay,he pushed his finger deeply into the center and said, “Mom,I can feel the heartbeat of the clay." This was the beginning of a lifetime of learning from my children. Years later,when I got particularly frustrated with my inability to make the clay take the shape I had imagined,I remembered my son’s discovery. I took the pwlse (脈搏) of the clay. I asked what it wanted to be. I discovered that my best pieces are done in partnership with the clay.

    The work I did in the art school helps my later work. I have learned to take the pulse of life and take note of what other people want and need. Now,wherever I am,I remain open to the “gifts from the kiln.”


1. V. to change or make sth change from one form,purpose,system,etc. to another (in Paragraph 1)

2. adj. feeling annoyed and impatient because you can't do or achieve what you want (in Paragraph 4)

     In schools and at home,most of US have been scolded(責(zé)備) or éven got punished for daydreaming. The majority of people say that by daydreaming we waste our time and energy on something unproductive. But many medical studies have shown something different. They’ve stressed the fact that daydreaming works wonders on our imagination,creativity and situation-handling techniques. In fact,many problems can be easily solved if we daydream.

When your mind gets satisfied,you’ re in a better position to concentrate more on your work. Since daydreaming activates (激活） the nerves of your brain,you tend to have higher attentiveness and your ability to remember things will develop.

    When you daydream,you automatically imagine yourself as your heart says and therefore,you get to know yourself better. You ai§0 start realizing the mistakes you,ve made in life anti trying your best to avoid repeating them. Such imagination techniques help you to connect yourself with your soul.

    Looking for a simple way to bum more calories while walking? Researchers found that walking at varying speeds can bum up to 20 percent more calories. It is one of the first to measure the calories burned at various walking speeds. “Most of the existing literature has been on constant-speed walking. This study is a bi^ missing piece,” said Manoj Srinivasan,co-author of the study. “Measuring the calories burned while changing speeds is very important — people don’t live their lives on (跑步機(jī)) and do not walk at constant speeds."

    The researchers found that up to thirty percent of the energy we use during normal daily walking could be due to the energy needed to start and stop walking. Walking at any speed costs some energy,bilt when you* re changing the speed, ?ou will get the biggest effect. Changing the kinetic (運(yùn)動(dòng)的) energy of a person requires more work from the legs and that process certainly bums more energy.

    The study also confirmed the researchers’ prediction that people walk slower when covering shorter distances and increase their paces as distance increases. This finding could have some effects in the field of health,where the speed measured within a certain distance is used as a sign of a patient's progress. “What we’ve shown is that the distance over which you make them walk matters,” said Srinivasan. You’11 get different walking speeds for different distances.”

    For more tips on how to bum more calories when walking,Srinivasan offers some simple advice: walk in a way that feels unnatural. “How do you walk in a manner that bums more energy? Just do weird things. Walk with a backpack,walk with weights on your legs or walk in a curve as opposed to a straight line,” he said.

9. Why does research on walking and changing speeds matter?

   A. It can save lots of energy.

   B. It's good for the environment.  

    C. It can help build up our bodies.

   D. It's close to the way people walk in everyday life.

10. The second paragraph serves as .

   A. an explanation for the study

   B. the background of the study 

    C. an example of the study

   D. an introduction to the study

11. When patients change the speed of walking,.

   A. they are in poor health

   B. they are likely to recover 

    C. they have weight problems 

    D.they may need more walking practice 

12. What does the underlined word “weird” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

   A. Boring.   B. Strange,

    C. Great.   D. Right.

              A  ★★★☆☆

    Last summer I was fortunate enough to be able to spend a month in France. It was the most exciting time of my life. I stayed with a family in Montpellier. It was very different from my life in the United States. Every morning we bought fresh bread from the bakery (面包店) and had coffee in a bowl instead of a cup. The milk came in bottles fresh from the dairy (牛奶場(chǎng)) .These differences were skin-deep,however,I soon discovered other more important ones.

    Back home in Winnetka,Illinois,I wouldn’t think anything of taking a ten-minute shower every day,or even twice a day in summer. In my French host family,we showered only once every two days and used far less water. First you turn the water on to get wet,then turn it off and soap yourself up,then you turn it on again to rinse the soap off,so the water is only on for about maybe two minutes. Although it was pretty hot there in summer,I’d never taken showers in cold water!I couldn’t imagine what it was like in winter.

    I also noticed that although the'family had a car,they hardly ever used it. The father took the bus to work in the morning and the mother rode her bicycle when going on short trips. The family was well-off rather than poor,but they tried to drive less. As Americans,however,we are quite used to taking long showers and driving everywhere,using much more energy than French people.

    Living in Montpellier and seeing people’s frugal life there,I get angry thinking of the resources wasted in the United States. When I came home,I was much more energy-conscious. I didn't drink coffee out of a bowl anymore,but I started riding my bike to school and turning the thermostat down at night.

1. According to Paragraph 1 ,Americans and the French are different in

   A. their eating habits

   B. their morning exercises 

    C. the way of cooking

   D. their attitude to breakfast

2. What can we learn about taking showers in Montpellier?

   A. People take showers every day.

   B. People use a small amount of water.

    C. People usually spend ten minutes showering.

   D. People are used to taking cold showers.

3. We know from Paragraph 3 that the French family

   A. lived a poor life

   B. made full Use of their car 

    C. enjoyed taking short trips

   D. had environmental awareness

4. The underlined word “frugal” in the last paragraph probably means .

   A. quiet   

    B. simple

It' s never too late to reach out and express thanks to that extraordinary teacher in your life.
