2.New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue,you may also be seeing it differently.A blue mood may be more than just a figure of speech.Your mood may also affect how you see the world around you,according to a new study.A team of researchers has demonstrated that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.
  The team,led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester,found that people in whom they had induced a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis(轴线),compared to people who weren't feeling sad.
"We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena,like mood.even when these concepts seem unrelated,"Thorstenson said in a statement."We thought that maybe a reason these metaphors emerge was because there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way."
  Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition.In 2010,Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first demonstrated a link between decreased contrast sensitivity and depression.This was supported by a 2013 paper by Johnson Faro et al of the University of Singapore.
  The team conducted two studies.In the first,127 participants were chosen randomly to watch one of two video clips,which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness (a cartoon clip) or amusement (a stand-up comedy routine).They didn't do that in a specific order.
  The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48 continued color swatches.The group that had been shown the cartoon clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis,although no difference was found along the red-green axis.
  For the second study,130 participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral one.The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.Again,there was no difference along the red-green axis.
  Because of this lack of difference along the red-green axis,the researchers say the difference in ability cannot be explained by lack of effort,or focus.If the subjects were badly focused,they would have performed equally badly along both color axes.
32.If oneD,the colors he sees might be different from those in others'eyes.
A.is in a good mood

35.What does the underlined word"randomly"in the fifth paragraph mean most probably?A

13.From the health point of view we are living in an amazing age.We are free from  many of the most dangerous diseases.A large number of once deadly illnesses can now be cured by modern medicine.It is almost certain that one day medicines will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases.The expectation of life has increased greatly.But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before,every day we witness the unbelievable killing of men,women and children on the roads.Man vs the motor-car.It is a never-ending battle which man is losing.Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.
   It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel(方向盘),his car becomes the extension of his personality.There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man's very worst qualities.People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel.They say,they are ill-mannered and aggressive,willful as two-years-olds and completely selfish.All their hidden angers and disappointments seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.
   The surprising thing is that society smiles so gentlly on the motorist and seems to forgive his behavior.Everything is done for his convenience.Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy traffic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is ruined by road networks; and the deaths become nothing more than a number every year,to be easily forgotten.
   It is high time a world rule was created to reduce this senseless waste of human life.With regard to driving,the laws of some countries are unbelievably lax(不严格) and even the strictest are not strict enough.A rule which was universally accepted could only have an obviously beneficial effect on the accident rate.Here are a few examples of some of the things that might be done.The driving test should be standardlized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through strict tests for safety each year.Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can damage a person's driving ability.Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be made much stricter. Speed limits should be required on all roads.Governments should lay down safety specifications for car factories,as has been done in the USA.All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned.These measures may not sound good enough.But surely nothing should be considered as too severe if it results in reducing the number of deaths.After all,the world is for human beings,not motor-cars.

17.Have you ever seen any students whose trousers hang so low you can see their underwear?What do you think of that?Fashionable?Some of today's teenagers are big fans of such a look.(36)A.
The headmaster of a school in central Italy has asked students to stop wearing low-rise jeans that expose underwear and part of the body.His request came after a class trip.One day,he saw one boy's baggy trousers slide to his feet.(37)C.
But in Italy,a nation that takes fashion very seriously,the suggestion caused a debate among parents,teachers and students.The issue is whether the headmaster's request will limit students'freedom-or whether dress in Italian schools is too casual.
(38)B."We do not want to kick fashion out."the headmaster explained,"but extremes of fashion like this are not right in school."Many other schools have now requested that their students also stop wearing such trousers.
(39)F.Ludovica Gaudio,14,wore extremely low trousers exposing orange underwear in class.It was cold,so she wore a matching orange scarf.(40)E."I don't really feel comfortable in those sorts of jeans,"said Sarah Lattanzi,"in winter,when dressed like that,it's quite cold and I am afraid my stomach will ache."

A.But recently this trend has been at the center of an argument in Italian middle schools.
B.A parents'group praised the move in favor of good taste,while others advised schools to stop worrying about fashion and fix up old school buildings.
C.He pointed out that this way of dressing is not suitable for school.
D.Most students have simply ignored the request.
E.Another 14-year-old said she would probably respect the request,simply for practical reasons.
F.Let us see that Italian students react differently to schools'requests.
G.Schools should pay attention to things more important than students'clothes.
