What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red?  小題1:Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.  小題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
 小題3: 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.  小題4: A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自殺) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
小題5: It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray.
A．On the other hand, black is depressing.
B．They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference.
C．The rooms are pained in different colors as you like.
D．If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G. Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it.

Barbie(芭比娃娃)，believe it or not，is 50 this year and she's still as popular as ever.A doll is a doll，but Barbie illustrates how，over the last five decades，women have become a standard for judging what freedom really means. How women are treated in different countries tells you a lot about the politics and culture of where they live.
The doll that every little girl wants enables young children to test their possibilities in role playing，giving them a glimpse of what they might be when they grow up，whether to be frivolous or serious (or both)．
But in many countries that's not an option. In Saudi Arabia，where woman can't drive or go out publicly unless covered，Barbie is banned. They think Barbie dolls are offensive to Islam(伊斯蘭教) and a threat to morality.
In America，she represents the swiftly changing roles of women. Barbie is fun to tease but she's as American as miniskirts_and_pantsuits in her flexible identities and her “growth” from model to astronaut.
Barbie inspired a doll­revolution movement. When a Teen Talk Barbie was programmed electronically to say “Math class is tough”，she was criticized by a national women's group and was regarded as a bad stereotype. Some of her critics also say she's a bad influence because she's too thin and encourages anorexia，that she has run through too many stereotypes(固定模式)，and that she lends too much significance to the fantasy stages of child's play.
In some Muslim countries, substitute Barbie dolls have been developed that promote traditional values，with their modest clothing and pro­family backgrounds. They are widely seen as an effort to resist the American dolls that have flooded the market.
Toy seller Masoumeh Rahimi welcomed the dolls，saying Barbie was “foreign to Muslim culture” because some of the dolls have little clothing. She said young girls who play with Barbie，could grow into women who reject Muslim values. “I think every Barbie doll is more harmful than an American missile，”Ms. Rahimi said.
小題1:The writer mentioned “miniskirts and pantsuits”(in Paragraph 4) to imply that ________.
A．these are the only clothes a doll should wear
B．these are very traditional American clothes for women
C．there are a range of different life options available for women
D．readers should wear these clothes more often
小題2:The underlined word “anorexia” (in Paragraph 5) most probably means“________”．
A．a(chǎn)n illness of refusing to eat
B．giving up math study
C．the wearing of inappropriate clothes
D．a(chǎn) decrease in people's imagination
小題3:It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A．children who like Barbie dolls won't be so serious when they grow up
B．Muslim Barbies are the same as American Barbies
C．Muslim societies are generally more conservative than western societies
D．Americans have no worry about Barbie's influence on children

Dear son,
The day that you see me old and I am already not in good health, have patience and try to understand me.
If I get dirty when eating, if I can not dress, have patience and remember the hours I   36  teaching it to you. If, when I speak to you, I   37  the same things thousand and one times, do not   38   me, listen to me. When you were small, I had to read to you thousand and one times the same story   39   you got to sleep. When I do not want to have a   40 , neither shame me nor scold me. Remember when I had to chase you with thousand excuses I   41 , in order that you wanted to bathe. When you see my   42  little about new technologies, give me the necessary time and do not look at me with your mocking(嘲弄) smile. I taught you   43  to do so many things: to eat good, to dress well, to confront life…. When at some moment I lose the memory or the   44   of our conversation, let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous, as the most important thing is not our conversation but surely to be with you and to have you   45   to me.
If ever I do not want to eat, do not force me. I know well   46   I need to and when not. When my   47  legs do not allow me to walk, give me your   48  , the same way I did when you gave your first   49 . And when someday I say to you that I do not want to   50  any more ---- that I want to rest forever, do not get angry. Someday you will understand.
Try to understand that my age is not lived but survived. Some day you will discover that,  51  my mistakes, I always wanted the   52  thing for you and that I tried to prepare the way for you. You must not feel sad, angry or impotent(無可奈何) for seeing me   53  you. You must be next to me, try to understand me and to help me as I did it when you   54  living. Help me to walk, help me to end my way with love and   55 . I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I have had always for you.
I love you, Son.
Your father

The fact that blind people can see things using parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color．If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it．Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妝品） should never be packed in brown．These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology．
Some of our preferences are clearly psychological．Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement．Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people's mind．People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure．Red is exciting．Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color．Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars．
小題1:The passage tells us that salesmen have____ ．
A．tried colors on blind people
B．found out that colors affect sales
C．developed a special subject of color psychology
D．discovered the relationship between color and psychology
小題2:It can be inferred from the passage that__ _．
A．blind people cannot sense color differences
B．foods sell well in green or blue wrappings
C．w hat color we prefer depends on our state of mind
D．a(chǎn) bright color has exactly the opposite effect to red
小題3:The most effective color in the passage for warning people is____．
A．redB．dark blueC．greenD．bright yellow
小題4:If someone is in an angry mood, which color is better for him to become quiet?
A．Red．B．Dark blue． C．Brown． D．Bright yellow
小題5:Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?
A．Colors and FeelingsB．Colors and Sales
C．The Blind and ColorsD．Preferences for Colors

For about a decade, I knew that I needed to improve my handwriting, but I always put it off. “My typing skills are good, my communication skills are good, and all my other abilities are adequate for the job I do and the life I live. Why would I need to improve my handwriting in such a modern world?” I thought.
I was sort of hit by the fact that my handwriting needed improving quite suddenly in the form of a note from my boss. Obviously one of the notes I had posted on the office message board had been misunderstood because of my handwriting. My boss demanded that I learn to write in a neat way, something I couldn’t ignore any longer.
I tried a lot of different methods to improve my handwriting. Nowadays, there are more resources than before. You don’t even have to go to the store and can buy handwriting training materials online. I tried out a lot of these, and my handwriting did improve somewhat. Now I make sure I form every letter correctly. This is inconvenient and time-consuming, but it is better than having my comments misread.
People come up to me and tell me how nice my handwriting is. I have never thought of that, but this is exactly what has happened. It really is a pleasure, but it isn’t enough. In the long run, I actually have to go to a handwriting coach to improve my handwriting. It seems like I have years and years of bad habits that I have to break, and this isn’t something I could handle on my own. I need someone to teach me how to write clearly from the ground up.
小題1:The underlined word “adequate” in the first paragraph probably means “    ”.
Aclear enough       B. common enough    C. good enough  D. special enough
小題2:The writer made the decision to improve his handwriting because        .
A．he had planned for that for a long time
B．he was shocked by his boss’ good handwriting
C．he was often misunderstood because of his handwriting
D．his boss asked him to work on his handwriting
小題3:How did the writer try to improve his handwriting?
A．He practiced writing mainly on his own.
B．He practiced writing and typing at the same time.
C．He joined a handwriting training class.
D．He employed a coach to teach him online.
小題4:What does the writer think of his handwriting at present?
A．Unacceptable.B．Perfect.C．Worse.D．Better.

Rome had the forum. London has Speaker’s Corner. Now always-on-the-go New Yorker has Liz and Bill.
Liz and Bill, two college graduates in their early 20s, have spent a whole year trying to have thousands of people talk to them in the subway station and on busy street corners. Just talk.
Using a 2-feet-high sign that says, “Talk to Me,” they attract conversationalists, who one evening included a mental patient, and men in business suits.
They don’t collect money. They don’t push the religion. So what is the point?
“To see what happens,” said Liz. “We simply enjoy life with open conversation（交流）.”
Shortly after the September 11, 2001 attacks, they decided to walk from New York city to Washington, a 270-mile trip. They found they loved talking to people along the way and wanted to talk with the strangers after their return.
“It started as a crazy idea,” Liz said. “We were so curious about all the strangers walking by with their stories. People will talk to us about anything: their jobs, their clothes, their childhood, anything.”
Denise wanted to talk about an exam she was going to take. She had stopped for the second time in two days, to let two listeners know how it went.
Marcia had lost her husband to a serious disease. “That was very heavy on my mind,” Marcia said. “To be able to talk about it to totally strangers was very good,” she explained.
To celebrate a year of talking, the two held a get-together in a city park for all the people they had met in the past year. A few hundred people showed up, as well as some television cameramen and reporters.
They may plan more parties or tried to attract more people to join their informal talks. Some publishers have expressed their interest in the book, something they say they’ll consider.
小題1:What did Liz and Bill start doing after September 2001?
A．Chatting with peopleB．Setting up street signs
C．Telling stories to strangersD．Organizing a speaker’s corner
小題2: What they have been doing can be described as ______.
A．pointlessB．normalC．crazyD．successful
小題3:Why are Denise and Marcia mentioned in the text?
A．They knew Liz and Bill very well.
B．They happened to meet the writer of the text.
C．They organized the get-together in the city park.
D．They are example of those who talked to Liz and Bill.
小題4:What will Liz and Bill do in the future?
A．Going for publishing.B．Do more television program.
C．Continuing what they are doing.D．Spending more time reading books.
