7．根据下面的提示，写一篇短文，词数不少于50．

In your spoken English class，your  teacter shows your the following picture．You are asked to dseribe the picture and explain how you understand it．
8．What is your favorite color？Do you like yellow，orange or red？（36）D Do you prefer greys and blues？If you do，you are probably quiet，shy，and you would rather follow than lead．（37）B At least，this is what psychologists （心理学家） 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．They tell us that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up---we are born with our preference．
（38）G 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．（39）A A black bridge over the Thames River，near London，used to be the scene of more suicides （自杀） 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．
（40）E It is an established fact that factory workers work better，harder，and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted bright colors rather than black or grey．
A．On the other hand，black is depressing．
B．You tend to be pessimist （悲观者）．
C．People like different colors．
D．If you do，you must be an optimist （乐观者），a leader，an active person who enjoys life．
E．Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active．
F．Life is like a picture or a poem，full of different colors．
G．Colors do influence our moods （情绪）---there is no doubt about it．
5．You can take a selfie（自拍） with a hand-held digital camera or mobile phone and later share it on the Internet．（36）F According to a recent survey，half of the interviewees admitted to taking a selfie while on holiday．Love them or hate them，selfies show no sign of stopping．
After all，the selfie is the most important way to show off on holiday．（37）D How can you take the best holiday selfies？Here are some useful posing tips for you．

◆‘Food chew'style
Want to let everyone know how exciting your holiday food choices are？Hold up some food on your fork or chopsticks．（38）E But don't have food hanging out of your mouth．Remember，food always looks best before being eaten．
◆‘I'm so adventurous'style
Rock climbing，hiking，surfing，or skiing？These adventurous holiday moments are great for a selfie．（39）G One commonly used gesture is spreading out an arm to show how thrilled you are．But remember that no one likes a sweaty selfie．
◆‘I am cultured tourist'style
（40）B You can also try an optical illusion（视错觉）by making it look like you're holding up the leaning tower of Pisa，touching the top of the Eiffel Tower，or picking the Sphinx's nose．
A．Some people have no idea how to take selfies．
B．Just taking a selfie against a famous cultural site makes you look great．
C．Different cultures have different characteristics of food．
D．Everyone has his own way to take the holiday selfies．
E．You can also cut off a piece to show off what's inside．
F．So selfies have been especially popular over the years．
G．Just let the natural settings（环境）make people go"wow"．
12．Family Values
To understand a nation，you should first get to know its minimum unit-family．（71）B   In the US，upon reaching an appropriate age （usually between 18and 21years），children are encouraged，but not forced，to"leave the nest"and begin an independent life．（72）DParents do not arrange marriages for their children，nor do children usually ask permission of their parents to get married．Youn g adults meet their future spouses  （配偶）  through other friends，at jobs，and in organizations and religious institutions．Although children choose their own spouses，
they still hope their parents will approve of their choices．
Parents feel that children should make major life decisions by themselves in many families．A parent may try to influence a child to follow a particular profession but the child is free to choose another job．（73）F  A son may deliberately decide not to go into his father's business because of a fear that he will lose his independence in his father's workplace．This independence from parents is not an indication that parents and children do not love each other．Strong love between parents and children is universal and this is no exception in the American family．
（74）AIt is not like we Chinese．Parents are rulers and masters．We Chinese love our parents with fear and total respect．In America，children always have their own opinions and even can talk about some sensitive problems with their parents，like family financial situation，the relationship between mother and father，and even sex．
（75）E Therefore，it is contrary that，on one hand，Americans admire independence and equality that they don't want to make sacrifice to make up a family，but on the other hand，Americans think highly of family in their value system．

A．In the American family，children and parents are equal．
B．It can reflect the traditional values and customs of a nation．
C．When it comes to big problems，children do not have to always follow their parents'ways．
D．After children leave home，they often find social relationship and financial support outside the  family．
E．Although Americans pay much attention to independence and equality，they don't believe in making sacrifice．
F．Sometimes children do precisely the opposite of what their parents wish in order to declare their independence．
G．Many of them are expected to leave what could be life's most important decision-marriage-almost entirely up to luck．
2．Building Trust in a Relationship Again
Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences．（56）C．That is a risk．But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake．
Unfortunately，we've all been victims of betrayal（背叛）．Whether we've been suffer from，lied to，misled（把…带错方向），or cheated on，there are different levels of losing trust．Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore，（57）G．It's understandable，but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again，we have some steps you can take to get you there．
•（58）Dhaving confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being．
•（59）BIf you've been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance．But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a"victim mentality"．At some point in all of our lives，we'll have our trust tested or violated（侵犯）．
•You didn't lose"everything"．Once trust is lost，what is left？Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle，look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life．（60）Einstead，it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness．

A．Remember that you can expect the best in return．
B．Stop regarding yourself as the victim．
C．It is putting confidence in someone．
D．Learn to really trust yourself．
E．Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened．
F．This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships．
G．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again．
9．There was once a lonely girl who longed so much for love．One day while she was walking in the woods she found two starving birds．（36）E She cared about them with love and the birds grew strong．Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song．The girl felt great love for the birds．
（37）F The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage．The girl was so frightened that he would fly away．As he flew close，she grasped him wildly．Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing（捕捉） him．
（38）B She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird．It was her desperate love that had killed him．
She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage．She could feel his great need for freedom．He needed to fly into the clear，blue sky．（39）G The bird circled once，twice，three times．
The girl watched delightedly at the bird's enjoyment．（40）C What she wanted to see was that the bird could fly happily．Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder．It sang the sweetest tune that she had ever heard．
Remember，the fastest way to lose love is to hold on it too tightly；the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

A．She gave them some delicious food and left．
B．Suddenly she felt the bird go soft．
C．Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss．
D．One day she left with the two birds at home alone．
E．She took them home and put them in a small cage．
F．One day the girl left the door of the cage open accidentally．
G．She lifted him from the cage and threw him softly into the air．
6．For over one hundred and fifty years，Americans of all social classes have worn blue jeans．（36）FWhether they are worn for work or for fashion today，Strauss'invention continues to be popular not only among Americans but also among people around the world．
Levi Strauss was born in Germany in 1829．（37）AHe grew up in Kentucky before moving to New York in 1847．Before becoming an American citizen and moving to the West in 1853，Strauss worked in his brother's dry goods business．This gave him a chance to produce his famous invention．After the gold rush of 1949，Strauss decided to move to the West to seek his fortunes．
Strauss did not want to be a person who searched an area for minerals．Instead，he knew he could make a good living by selling supplies to the miners．At first，he planned to sell sewing supplies and cloth．（38）DWhen he heard miners complaining that their clothes were easily broken or they usually tore their pockets during mining，he decided to use a special fabric to make pants for the miners．These pants proved so popular that he quickly ran out of materials to make more．
In 1873，Strauss received a letter from a Jewish tailor named Jacob Davis who had invented a process of connecting pockets with copper rivets（铆钉）．This made the pants last a long time．Because Davis did not have the money to patent his idea，he offered to share it with Strauss if Strauss would agree to pay for the patent．（39）C．
By the time Strauss died in 1902，he had made a great contribution to American fashion．（40）EThe business has been growing ever since and Levi Strauss'company is now one of the largest clothing companies in the world．

A．As a young boy，he moved with his family to the United States．
B．Nobody knew what kind of material was suitable．
C．He did and Levi jeans have been made with metal rivets ever since．
D．However，he did not get much business for those products．
E．He also made a great contribution to America's clothing industry．
F．Since they were invented by Levi Strauss，they have become a symbol of American consumer culture．
G．As the business grew，Strauss got much money from it．
7．Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life．Every waking moment，the eyes are working to see the world around us．Over forty percent of Americans worry about losing eyesight，but it's easy to include steps into our daily life to ensure healthy eyes．Here are five suggestions for a lifetime of healthy eyesight：
•Schedule yearly exams．Eye care should begin early in life．（36）B The good news is that millions of children now can have yearly eye exams and following treatment，including eyeglasses．
•Protect against UV rays（紫外线）．Long-term stay in the sun creates risk to your eyes．No matter what the season is，it's extremely important to wear sunglasses．（37）C
•Give your eyes a break．Two-thirds of Americans spend up to seven hours a day using computers or other digital products．This frequent eye activity increases the risk for eye tiredness．（38）G
•Eat your greens．（39）A Vitamins C and E help protect eyesight and promote eye health．
•Practice safe wear and care of contact lenses（隐形眼镜）．Many Americans use contact lenses to improve their eyesight．（40）FAlways follow the doctor's advice for appropriate wear．Otherwise，you may have problems such as red eyes，pain in the eyes，or a more serious condition．

A．As part of a healthy diet，eat more fruits and vegetables each day．
B．Experts advise parents to bring babies 6to 12months of age to the doctor for a careful check．
C．They can properly protect your eyes．
D．Stay in good shape by taking more vitamins．
E．Parents usually don't care about their own eyesight．
F．While some follow the medical guidance for wearing contact lenses，many are breaking the rules and putting their eyesight at risk．
G．Experts recommend that people practice the 20/20/20rule：every 20minutes，take a 20-second break and look at something 20feet away．
