【题目】根据短文内容的理解,选择正确答案。 When Joshua Blue, a head teacher at the Kennedy, hosts a lecture for his students, he wears a light violet-colored tie. "You don't want so many bright colors that the kids will get distracted," said Blue. Colors give off very specific signals, and different tie colors stand for very different impacts. Wondering what color tie to wear to your next meeting? Here's how to choose the perfect color tie for every occasion:
All powerful reds
It's not a coincidence(巧合) that many politicians wear red-colored ties with light shirts and darker suits. "Red is the powerful color," said Mark Woodman, a trend analyst who studies color in Laurel, Maryland. "There's something about red that always comes back to strength and passion." But the tone of your reds matters, too. Darker reds can help build trust, while lighter red and pink ties can be more of a statement about your personal style and be associated with creativity. When you want to convey a sense of ambition, consider a shiny red.
Royal purples
Ross Znavor, an executive in financial services in New York, wears purple ties rather than red to business meetings because the color shows a bit of self-confidence and helps him create lasting first impressions. Purple, traditionally a sign of royalty and wealth is becoming more acceptable in the workplace.
Black affairs
"While you might not wear them to meetings on a regular basis, wearing black ties to a cocktail party or even a dinner is unique and attractive," said Zyla. But remember: the formal black color can feel aggressive in many situations. "Avoid it if you are a green-hand at work," Zyla said.
Right blues
Afraid of sending the wrong message with your tie color? Consider blue as the all-purpose tie. Blue ties are a good investment because the color reminds people of the sky and ocean. "Blue is the safest color to wear," Lindsay said.
(1)Why do many politicians prefer red-colored ties?
A.Because they often wear light shirts and darker suits.
B.Because they want to get promoted.
C.Because red is related to strength and passion.
D.Because red gets their message across easily.
(2)Who will probably choose the purple ties?
A.Politicians.
B.Businessmen.
C.Artists.

(3)What color tie will you consider if you are a green-hand at work?

Best friends may be priceless but the cost of keeping the relationship alive is 23,870.
According to a study, a BFF (best friends forever) does not come cheap with devoted friends spending 4,679 on birthday presents alone over a lifetime. And while it costs nothing to be a shoulder to cry on, big-hearted Britons go the extra mile and spend 168 on pick-me-ups(提神物品) to get their mate through a rocky patch (艰难时刻)like the breakup of a relationship.
There's a further 242 spent on presents to show how much they mean from gifts bought on holiday to treats for no reason. And distance does not break up a close friendship as BFFs spend a whopping(巨大的) 18,000 on travel to see each other despite being miles apart because of university, jobs and marriage.
The study by cashback site TopCashBack found on average BEFs who marry can expect 431 spent on them and a further 283 on gifts when they have children. And they can rely on their pals to help out when they move houses as they will obtain 127 worth of housewarming presents and takeaways(a kind of food).
The survey based on a friendship lasting 40 years found more than eight in ten adults with a BFF felt their friendships were worth every penny.
TopCashback spokesperson Natasha Smith said: “Those friendships which stand the test of time are often the most important in our lives. However, they come at a cost. From train tickets once a month to flights and a new dress for a wedding on the Italian coast, the price paid for having a best mate can soon add up. But when we asked people to compare their friendship with the financial investment(投资), only 14% thought their friendship was equal to their investment with the vast majority thinking it was worth more."
(1)What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?
A.generous
B.ambitious
C.troublesome
D.energetic
(2)To keep the relationship, where do BEFs spend the most money?
A.Buying birthday presents.
B.Cheering up a friend in low spirits.
C.Paying for holiday gifts and other treats.
D.Going a particular distance to visit friends.
(3)What is Natasha's understanding of BEF friendship?
A.It's costly and unaffordable.
B.It's expensive but worthwhile.
C.It's rewarding but hard to keep.
D.It's changeable but worth possessing.
(4)How is the passage developed?
A.By listing figures.

【题目】根据短文理解,选择正确答案。
At thirteen, I was diagnosed(诊断) with kind of attention disorder. It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.
In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”
She glanced down at me through her glasses, “You are not different from your classmates, young man.”
I tried, but I didn't finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home. In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldn't get much education. But Louis didn't give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots(点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.
Wasn't I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?
I didn't expect anything when I handled in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day- with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “See what you can do when you keep trying?”
(1)The author didn't finish the reading in class because______.
A.he was new to the class
B.he was tired of literature
C.he had an attention disorder
D.he wanted to take the task home
(2)What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?
A.He had good sight.
B.He made a great invention.
C.He gave up reading.
D.He learned a lot from school.
(3)What was Mrs. Smith's attitude to the author at the end of the story?
A.Angry
B.Impatient
C.Indifferent
D.Encouraging
(4)What is the main idea of the passage?
A.The disabled should be treated with respect.
B.A teacher can open up a new world to students.
C.One can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.
D.Everyone needs a hand when faced with challenges.
