5．Men who wear pink shirts to work earn more and are easier to get a higher position than those who prefer traditional shirt colors，such as white and blue，according to a recent survey．Researchers also found that men who wore pink were more likely to get praise （赞美） from female co-workers and were more confident in the office．
A classical pink shirt wearer earns￡1，000more a year than those who choose other colors，researchers surveyed among 1，500male office workers．Men who wear pink are also twice as likely to have the Master's degree as those who prefer white shirts，with one in ten pink shirt wearers having a PHD．
Stephanie Thiers-Ratcliffe，International Marketing Manager for Cotton USA，who took charge of the study，said，"You can tell a lot about someone by the color he wears．Pink is a color that more and more men have been   embracing recently，and it is encouraging that they are not afraid to experiment with that bright color．They spend most of their days at work and their own confidence needs to remain smart．It is good for company standards（标准），but that doesn't mean that they have to wear boring clothes．"Pink shirt wearers on the other hand are more likely to have a low-carbon （低碳） life for half of them prefer to choose public means of transportation to go to work．
The report also found men who preferred green shirts were the most likely to be late for work，while white shirt fans were the most punctual（准时的）．And if you are trying hard for a higher position，it is best to dress in a purple shirt．In the last five years，men who preferred purple shirts have had the high pay rise，so it is no wonder that one in twenty of them drives a car which needs￡20，000or more to buy．

If you have a headache，toothache or bad pain in the stomach，if you complain of a bad cough，if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold，or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure，I think you should go to the doctor．The doctor will examine your throat，feel your pulse，test your blood pressure，take your temperature，test your eyes，check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed．After that he will advise some treatment，or some medicine．The only thing you have to do is follow his advice．
Speaking about doctor's advice，I can't help telling you a funny story．An old gentleman came to see the doctor．The man was very ill．He told the doctor about his weakness，memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs．The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease．He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest．He also advised him to eat a lot of meat，drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks．In other words，the doctor advised him to follow the rule："Eat at pleasure，drink with measure and enjoy life as it is．"The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again，he shouldn't smoke more than one cigarette a day．A month later the gentleman came into the doctor's office．He looked cheerful and happy．He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man．"But you know，doctor，"he said，"it's not easy to begin smoking at my age．"

20．The science fiction type of entertainment is considered by most to be fathered by Jules Verne （A Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea） and H．G．Wells （The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds）．Sci-Fi，as it is commonly shortened，is a fictional story in which science and technology have a significant influence on the characters and plot．Many such works are guesswork about what the future holds and how scientific findings and technological advances will shape humankind．
Writing in the late 1800s，Jules Verne was remarkably successful in his 10guesses about future technologies of air conditioning，automobiles，the Internet，television，and underwater，air，and space travel．Unbelievably，of all places from which to choose，Jules Verne guessed Tampa，Florida，USA as the launching site of the first project to the Moon，which was only 200kilometers away from the actual 1969location at Cape Canaveral，Florida．
One of the best-known science fiction books is Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell．Published in 1949，it was not meant as a prediction，but as a warning：Orwell was describing what he saw as the outcome of the ideas，trends，and emerging technologies of his time．Many invented terms from this novel have become common in everyday use，such as"big brother"and"doublethink"．Even the author's name has been made into an adjective-Orwellian-and has become a warning descriptor for situations where privacy is lost and the individual becomes sacrifice under a totalitarian （极权主义） government．Nineteen Eighty-Four was translated into sixty-five languages within five years of its publication，setting a record that still stands．
What helps bring science fiction into being is usually a new discovery．The author creates an analysis of the potential influence and consequences and then wraps it in a pleasant story．For example，the beginning of space exploration was followed a few years later by the Star Trek television program and movie series．Advances in genetics （遗传学） cause fantasies of the end of disease，horrors of eugenics （优生学），and thrillers where creatures disappearing long ago are brought back to life．The science fiction author's self-determined role is that of field glasses for humanity-searching the world of future possibilities upon the road which we are traveling．

21．What can science fiction offer to people？C
A．An analysis of why a new technology could harm human．
B．A thoughtful look at the present drawbacks of technology．
C．A prediction of how a new discovery could influence mankind．
D．A thoughtful look at the past and what history brought to us．
22．Which of the following best summarizes the description of Nineteen Eighty-Four？A
A．A warning of cruel and unfair ruling．
B．A prediction of future technologies．
C．The consequence of scientific findings．
D．An imaginary perfect world of freedom．
23．From the passage we can learn thatB．
A．Nineteen Eighty-Four adopted some popular terms
B．Star Trek movie series were based on space exploration
C．Cape Canaveral was mentioned in Jules Verne's fiction
D．H．G．Wells predicted the Internet in the late 1800s
24．According to the author，what is the role of science fiction in society？D
A．A moral compass．B．A reference of technology．
