Most of the time, people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions. Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position. But nowadays, hats, especially women's hats, are much more than that. More exactly, hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars. What's more, people now consider many different features(特點(diǎn)) when choosing even a simple hat. Many designers point out that, when choosing the right hat, it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair, your height, and the shape of your face.

First of all, the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair. For instance, black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned. If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair, one will look as attractive as a summer flower. Second, the height of the hat is also an important point. Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns, just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height. Third, and most importantly, the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick. A small, gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face. However, women with big, round faces should choose a different style.

As the saying goes, "Fine feathers make fine birds." A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features, so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public?

1.What does the underlined word “harsh” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

3.What does the last paragraph suggest?

A. Hats are worn on the head to keep warm.

C. Hats are not as important as character.

D. Hats can make you look much taller.

4.What is the best title for the article?

Last night’s meteor(流星)shower left many people in the community dissatisfied and demanding answers.According to Gabe Rothschild,Emerald Valley’s mayor,people gathered in the suburbs of the city,carrying heavy telescopes,expecting to watch the brightly burning meteors passing through the sky.What they found instead was a sky so brightened by the city’s lights that it darkened the light of the meteors passing overhead.

“My family was so frustrated,”admitted town resident Duane Cosby.“We wanted to make this an unforgettable family outing,but it turned out to be a huge disappointment.”

Astronomers—scientists who study stars and planets—have been complaining about this problem for decades.They say that light pollution prevents them from seeing objects in the sky that they could see quite easily in the past.They call on people and the government to take measures to fight against it.

There is yet a population besides professional and amateur star observers that suffers even more from light pollution.This population consists of birds,bats,frogs,snakes,etc.For example,outdoor lighting severely affects migrating birds.According to the International Dark-Sky Association.“100 million birds a year throughout North America die in crashes with lighted buildings and towers.”

Countless more animal casualties(傷亡)result from the use of artificial lighting.Clearly,people enjoy the benefits of lighting their evenings,but some scientists think it can be harmful for humans,too.They worry that exposure to light while sleeping can increase a person’s chances of getting cancer.

Emerald Valley is only one community that is becoming aware of the negative effects of light pollution.For years,F(xiàn)lagstaff,Arizona,has enforced lighting regulations in its city in order to assist astronomers at the Lowell Observatory.Similar efforts have been made worldwide,and a movement is underway to remind us to turn off lights when we are not using them,so that other creatures can share the night.

1.It happened last night that

A.the city’s lights affected the meteor watching

B.the meteors flew past before being noticed

C.the city light show attracted many people

D.the meteor watching ended up a social outing

2.What do the astronomers complain about?

A.Meteor showers occur less often than before.

B.Their observation equipment is in poor repair.

C.Light pollution has remained unsolved for years.

D.Their eyesight is falling due to artificial lighting.

3.What is the author concerned about according to Paragraph 4?

A.Birds may take other migration paths.

B.Animals’ living habits may change suddenly.

C.Varieties of animals will become sharply reduced.

D.Animals’ survival is threatened by outdoor lighting.

4.What message does the author most want to give us?

A.Saving wildlife is saving ourselves.

B.Great efforts should be made to save energy.

C.Human activities should be environmentally friendly.

D.New equipment should be introduced for space study.

Researchers in the psychology department at the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) have discovered a major difference in the way men and women respond to stress.This difference may explain why men are more likely to suffer from stress related disorders.

Until now,psychological research has maintained that both men and women have the same “fightorflight” reaction to stress.In other words,individuals either react with aggressive behavior,such as verbal or physical conflict (“fight”),or they react by withdrawing from the stressful situation (“flight”).However,the UCLA research team found that men and women have quite different biological and behavioral responses to stress.While men often react to stress in the fightorflight response,women often have another kind of reaction which could be called “tend and befriend.” That is,they often react to stressful conditions by protecting and nurturing their young (“tend”),and by looking for social contact and support from others—especially other females (“befriend”).

Scientists have long known that in the fightorflight reaction to stress,an important role is played by certain hormones(激素) released by the body.The UCLA research team suggests that the female tendorbefriend response is also based on a hormone.This hormone,called oxytocin,has been studied in the context of childbirth,but now it is being studied for its role in the response of both men and women to stress.The principal investigator,Dr.Shelley E.Taylor,explained that “animals and people with high levels of oxytocin are calmer,more relaxed,more social,and less anxious.” While men also secrete(分泌) oxytocin,its effects are reduced by male hormones.

In terms of everyday behavior,the UCLA study found that women are far more likely than men to seek social contact when they are feeling stressed.They may phone relatives or friends,or ask directions if they are lost.

The study also showed how fathers and mothers responded differently when they came home to their family after a stressful day at work.The typical father wanted to be left alone to enjoy some peace and quiet.For a typical mother,coping with a bad day at work meant focusing her attention on her children and their needs.

The differences in responding to stress may explain the fact that women have lower frequency of stressrelated disorders such as high blood pressure or aggressive behavior.The tendandbefriend regulatory(調(diào)節(jié)的) system may protect women against stress,and this may explain why women on average live longer than men.

1.The UCLA study shows that in response to stress,men are more likely than women to ______.

A.turn to friends for help

B.solve a conflict calmly

C.find an escape from reality

D.seek comfort from children

2.Which of the following is true about oxytocin according to the passage?

A.Men have the same level of oxytocin as women do.

B.Oxytocin used to be studied in both men and women.

C.Both animals and people have high levels of oxytocin.

D.Oxytocin has more of an effect on women than on men.

3.What can be learned from the passage?

A.Male hormones help build up the body's resistance to stress.

B.In a family a mother cares more about children than a father does.

C.Biological differences lead to different behavioral responses to stress.

D.The UCLA study was designed to confirm previous research findings.

4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A.How men and women get over stress

B.How men and women suffer from stress

C.How researchers overcome stress problems

D.How researchers handle stress related disorders
