20.Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.To the Egyptians,green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring,while for Muslims,it means heaven.Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures.In China,children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year.For many nations,blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs.Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils(灾祸).
People's choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies'reactions(反应) toward them.Green is said to be the most restful color.It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically.People who work in green environments have been found to have fewer stomach aches.
Red can cause a person's blood pressure to rise and increase people's appetites (食欲).Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant.Similarly,many commercial websites will have a red"Buy Now"button because red is a color that easily catches a person's eye.
Blue is another calming color.Unlike red,blue can cause people to lose appetite.So if you want to eat less,some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room,think about the color carefully.

25.Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of theirA.
A.cultural values
B.commercial purposes
C.personal experiences
D.physical reactions to the color

A.To relax people physically.
B.To increase people's appetites.
C.To encourage people to make a purchase.
D.To cause a person's blood pressure to rise.
27.Which of the following would be the most proper title for the passage?D
A.Colors and Human Beings
B.The Cultural Meaning of Color
C.Colors and Personal Experiences
D.The Meaning and Function of Color.

10.Recent months have seen a return of bike across China.With an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of (61)driving(drive) to schools,to workplaces or to do sightseeing.The introduction of bike-sharing programs has brought the trend to a new level.
The bikes (62)are equipped(equip) with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user.They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide(63)aneffective solution in places (64)where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another.Bike-sharing is a (65)greener(green) method of transportation and (66)provides(provide) a more friendly experience

8.Self-talk helps us allTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful.If you've ever been overheard(无意中听到) criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech,you'll know the social problems it can cause.
(36)A Talking to ourselves,whether out loud or silently in our heads,is a valuable.Far from being a sign of madness,self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do,manage our activities and control our emotions.
Psychologists(心理学家) call this private speech-language that is spoken out loud but directed at yourself.We do a lot of it when we are young.As children,we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others.(37)CPsychological experiments have shown that this so-called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking.One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person:as"you"rather than"I".
We keep the private speech we use as children inside-but we never truly put away the out-loud version.(38)BYou're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself.
(39)G Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different places,just like a regular dialogue can,and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity.
Both kinds of self-talk--the silent and out loud--seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking.(40)F

A.But there's no need for embarrassment
B.If you want proof,turn on a sports channel
C.As we grow older,we instead keep this system inside
D.Take a trip to any preschool and watch a small child playing with her toys
E.According to the well-known saying,talking to yourself is the first sign of madness
F.Words to the self,spoken silently or aloud,are so much more than just chatter(闲聊)
G.Self-talk seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas.
5.If your child constantly moves when he's doing math homework or insists on listening to music while studying,take heart.Although it may seem like he's trying to drive you crazy,he's probably just using the strategies that help him learn.
"I like to study at a desk in silence,and my daughter can't think that way.She likes to bounce around on a ball with music in the background,"says author Maureen McKay,whose website,Optimistic Outcomes,provides tips based on a child's learning style for parents."Sometimes kids are just doing what works for them."
Three basic learning styles are auditory,kinesthetic(肌肉运动知觉的),and visual ones.Auditory learners prefer listening to explanations to reading them and may like to study by reciting information aloud.This type of learner may want to have background music while studying,or they may be distracted by noises and need a quiet environment to study.Kinesthetic learners learn by doing and touching something.They may have trouble sitting still while studying,and they are better able to understand information by writing it down or doing hands-on activities.Visual learners process new information by reading,looking at graphics,or watching a demonstration.Children with this learning style can grasp information presented in a chart or graph,but they may grow impatient listening to an explanation.
Most people use a combination of styles but have a clear preference for one.Understanding your child's learning style can reduce homework frustrations and make it easier for families to communicate,says McKay.She observed different learning styles while working as a teacher's assistant,and she started researching strategies for working in different learning styles when her daughter began having trouble in elementary school.
Because her daughter had difficulty listening in class,McKay looked for exercises to strengthen listening skills.Her daughter is now doing well in middle school,and she owes her success to the fact that her teachers and parents came to understand her unique style of learning.

29.What does the underlined part"take heart"in Paragraph 1 mean?C
A.Take care.B.Work hard.C.Don't worry.D.Don't mention it.
30.It's implied in the passage that McKay's daughter studies inA.
A.both auditory and kinesthetic styles
B.a kinesthetic style
C.both visual and auditor's styles
D.a visual style
31.According to the passage,McKay would agree thatA.
A.parents should explore their children's learning styles.
B.teachers should reduce their students'homework
C.students always enjoy trying different learning styles
D.schools are giving up their traditional teaching methods
32.In the case of her daughter,McKayD.
A.helps a lot with her homework
B.teaches her in person at school
C.lets her read many books
D.values her personal learning style.
10."Dad,"I say one day,"let's take a trip.Why don't you fly out and meet me?"
My father had just retired after 27years as a manager for IBM.His job filled his day,his thought,his life.While he woke up and took a warm shower,I screamed under a freezing waterfall in Peru.While he tied a tie and put on the same Swiss watch,I rowed a boat across Lake of the Ozarks.
My father sees me drifting aimlessly,nothing to show for my 33years but a passport full of funny stamps.He wants me to settle down,but now I want him to find an adventure.
He agrees to travel with me through the national parks.We meet four weeks later in Rapid City.
"What is our first stop?"asks my father.
"What time is it?"
"Still don't have a watch?"
Less than an hour away is Mount Rushmore.As he stares up at the four Presidents carved in granite(花岗岩),his mouth and eyes open slowly,like those of a little boy.
"Unbelievable,"he says,"How was this done?"
A film in the information center shows sculptor Gutzon Borglum devoted 14years to the sculpture and then left the final touches to his son.
We stare up and I ask myself,"Would I ever devote my life to anything?"
No directions,no goals.I always used to hear those words in my father's voice.Now I hear them in my own.
The next day we're at Yellowstone National Park,where we have a picnic.
"Did you ever travel with your dad?"I ask.
"Only once,"he says."I never spoke much with my father.We loved each other-but never said it.Whatever he could give me,he gave."
The last sentence it's probably the same thing I'd say about my father.And what I'd want my child to say about me.
In Glacier National Park,my father says,"I've never seen water so blue."I have,in several places of the world.I can keep traveling,I realize-and maybe a regular job won't be as dull as I feared.
Weeks after our trip,I call my father.
"The photos from the trip are wonderful,"he says."We have got to take another trip like that sometime."
I tell him I've decided to settle down,and I'm wearing a watch.
