18.Competitors who wear red win more than those that are dressed in any other color,according to study in Germany.
(36)EExperts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive.
(37)F On the other hand,the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confident.
The study,by German sports psychologists at the University of Munster,was reported in New Scientist magazine.They showed video recording of taekwondo matches to 42 experienced referees.One fighter wore blue and the other wore red.They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated the clothing to exchange the colors.(38)B"If one competitor is strong and the other is weak,it won't change the outcome of the fight,"said Norbert Hagemann,who led the study."(39)G"
In 2004 scientists at Durham University also looked at how color influenced sporting competitiveness.They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing,taekwondo,and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55% of which were won by the competitor in red.
"(40)D"said Robert Burton,one of the researchers.

A.It is the color of fire and is often associated with energy,danger,strength,power,and determination.
B.The fighters wearing red were given an average of 13percent more points than when they wore blue.
C.The study shows that football shirts from worldwide teams such as Arsenal,Liverpool,sell successfully.
D.It is reasonable that wearing red makes individuals feel more confident,although this hasn't yet been tested.
E.Researchers found that those who wear red tops,jackets or clothing score 10percent more in any competition than if they were in another color.
F.The findings could explain why Manchester United,Liverpool and Arsenal have been so successful.
G.But the closer the levels,the easier it is for the color to tip the scale.

分析 本文讲述了红色可以让运动员更有信心,更容易获胜.

解答 EFBGD
36.E 细节题.根据Experts believe that red could make individuals and teams feel more confident as well as being perceived by others as more aggressive,可知,专家认为红色能使人更自信,以及被其他人认为更有进攻性,故选E.
37.F 细节题.根据On the other hand,the results could suggest that the success of those teams has given those that wear the red color more confidence.可知,另外一方面,结果表明那些队的成功给穿红色衣服的队伍更多的自信,所以该句可以解释为什么 Manchester United,Liverpool and Arsenal 一直都很成功,故选F.
38.B 细节题.根据One fighter wore blue and the other wore red.They then showed them the same recordings but digitally manipulated(操纵) the clothing to exchange the colors.可知,穿红色的队员比穿蓝色的要高出13%的得分,故选B.
39.G 细节题.根据"If one competitor is strong and the other is weak,it won't change the outcome of the fight,"said Norbert Hagemann,who led the study.对于两个实力悬殊较大的选手,结果不会改变,但是如果成绩差不多,衣服的颜色可能会改变结果,故选G.
40.D 细节题.根据They analyzed Olympic contest sports such as boxing,tawkwondo,and freestyle wrestling and found that nearly 55 percent of which were won by the competitor in red.可知,通过对奥运会比赛的分析可知,几乎55%的获胜都是穿红色战服的,因为让人更自信,故选D.

Life's greatest joys and its greatest sorrows often come from the relationships we have developed with others.

In our world today,it seems that most people struggle for happiness through pleasant physical surroundings and economic security.These are great,but if there is conflict in human relations,these things do not bring happiness. Think about the last time you were having an argument or a disagreement with one of your co-workers,your boss, your friend,or a family member.Was it easy or difficult to focus on your priorities(优秀考虑的事)?Even though you might have been having some success m many areas of your life,did you find yourself still feeling some discomfort due to the stress in that particular relationship?On the contrary,you may know people who are happy in great poverty and with physical stress if they have meaningful,pleasant relations with people around them.

Consider the most relationship that you have ever had with any individual(个人).To some degree it probably is or was marked by absolute honesty,deep levels of trust,respect for that person's skills,knowledge,or abilities,open communication,acceptance of differing views,and little concern for images(形象).

In effort to make the relationships we currently have the best that they can be,remember that persuasion usually cannot take place unless there is some sort of close,meaningful connection between the two people involved.The result will be a relationship of respect and progression.

Many of us have difficulty in accepting the faults and weaknesses of others; co-workers,work leaders,family members,or members of our social or religious groups.Our tendency to demand perfection of others can cause us to lose sight that we,ourselves,are less than perfect.Undoubtedly,there are differences among us.Some of us are even cruel and unpleasant.Others may have cultural differences that are blocks that affect us.But learning to look for the similarities instead of those things that set us apart,bearing differences,and seeing the best in others rather than the worst will lead to relationships of deep respect and lasting value.

9.Liu Sijiang (teacher):The Net improves the speed of communication,but there are many people who lie on it.Therefore,it is natural that some people are(61)worried(worry) about the girl in Nanjing,who made friends with an American teacher by email.
Xu Yong (student):These days,(62)making(make) friends online is a part of many people's lives.I think we can make good and helpful friends online,just like the girl from Nanjing.So don't be afraid to do(63)whatyou think is right.
Ding Yixiang (student):As the most(64)important(importance) communication tool at present,the Internet helps us to know and understand world affairs.(65)Itis also easy to make friends with foreigners through your keyboard.(66)However,a"friend"might lie to you.Only if young people can control themselves well and know what is good and what is bad,making friends on the Net should not be (67)aproblem at all.
Zhou Jian (student):It is hard to say (68)whetheror not it is good to make friends on the Internet.In fact,some bad and harmful things have indeed happened.However,I like to make friends online.I often share my happiness and sadness (69)withmy friends there.They can offer me some advice (70)andtell me how to solve problems when I am in trouble.
6.An Australian company,Smart Car Technologies,has developed a system that lets drivers know when they're speeding.When the technology becomes commercially available,it could help leadfooted drivers avoid tickets and also save lives.The company that developed the product hopes to convince Australian government agencies to put the technology into use in their automobile fleets.
The product,called Speed Alert,links realtime location data and speed obtained with the help of GPS to a database of posted speed limits stored in a driver's PDA or programmable mobile phone.The setup of the product does not need to be hooked up to a car's speedometer(速度表).In fact,it is entirely portable.It will also work with newer phones and PDAs that have builtin GPS receivers.If a driver exceeds the speed limit,the speed is shown and an alert sounds.
Michael Paine,an Australian vehicle design engineer and traffic safety consultant,was hired to analyze the product.He told Live Science that his colleagues in the road safety field are"very enthusiastic"about what they're now calling"intelligent speed alert".Other research,according to Paine,shows that 40percent of all traffic deaths involve speeding.There is also a potentially controversial future use:"Since the system is so portable,it would be easy to make it a requirement for teenage drivers to always use a speed alert device when driving,"Paine said."The system even has the capability to record speeding violations,so parents can monitor their teenage drivers."The product will soon go on sale in Sydney.
25.What's the purpose of the new product?C
A.To inform us of the new car system.
B.To introduce some improvement in cars.
C.To limit certain drivers to safe driving.
D.To popularize the builtin car system.
26.The second paragraph mainly talks aboutD.
A.the project of the builtin product
B.why the system becomes popular
C.the functions of GPS in cars
D.how the product is programmed
27.What can be the best title of the passage?D
A.Speed Alert and Its Future Use
B.Progress in Carmaking Science
C.Warning for Adventurous Drivers
D.New InCar Device Against Speeding.
13.Pablo Picass0once said,"It took me four years to paint like Raphael.but a lifetime to paint like a child."Little did he know that almost 40years after he died,a child's painting would be compared to his masterpieces.
Aelita Andre.from Australia,is only four years old,but already she can command up to 24,000for a painting.She is hoping that her paintings,which have sold for thousands of dollars internationally,will have the same Success when her first solo(单独的)exhibition opens in New York at the end 0f the year.Aelita paints like Picasso and some of her paintings have already been compared to those of Picasso's.
Aelita  Andre,s proud dad Michael Andre said,"She chooses the colors herself.She's so creative,determined and independent,and she'11actually be indignant if you attempt to suggest a color."Her Russian mother Nikka Kalashnikova said,"If your children are very talented,you have to give them opportunities.''
Aelita  Andre began painting bef_0re she could walk at 12months old.Her parents saw that she had a talent and they submitted her works t0a local art show a year later.They deliberately hid her age just to see what the reaction was.  Beyond their expectation,Aelita's paintings were well received.While most 0f her paintings now sell for between around 5000and10,000,it was a picture of the Russian Mir space station that set her record price of24,000in Hong Kong.
Her parents insist that they do not help her paint and that her works should be judged on their artistic merit(艺术价值)and not her age.rI'11ey hope Aelita Andre's success can pave the way  for other talented children.

13.Schools across the world are trying to come up with solutions to keep students active.Some are replacing traditional classroom chairs with exercise balls or standing desks.At Ward Elementary School in Winston,North Carolina students have adopted a new program that requires riding fixed bikes while reading.
‘Read and Ride'is the creation of school counselor Scott Ertl,who came up with the idea while he was exercising and reading at the gym.Believing it would be a fun way to convince students to become more active,he placed one in the corner of his classroom and encouraged them to use it during independent reading classes.
It was so popular that Ertl decided to add more bikes and offer the Read and Ride program to the entire school.Today Ward Elementary has a dedicated exercise room filled with bikes that can be used by students while completing their daily reading assignments.
Besides making reading more fun,the program also helps students exercise at a comfortable pace without the pressure that comes with regular sports-related activities.It is also a perfect way to release energy during days when the weather is not helpful to outdoor activities.
Most importantly,however,are the program's academic benefits.A year after Read and Ride was introduced at Ward Elementary School,students actively involved in the program demonstrated an astonishing 83% reading proficiency.Those that had not taken advantage of the exercise bikes tested at a much lower,41%.
Though the substantial improvement in academic achievement cannot all be attributed to programs like Read and Ride,experts believe they are a significant contributor.That's because studies have shown that physical activity stimulates(刺激) brain cells and helps prepare it for learning.As word of the difference made by this easy to execute exercise program spreads,don't be surprised to find schools across the country adopt"Read and Ride"for their students.
24.What is the new program at Ward Elementary School?A
A.Kids ride bikes as they read.
B.Kids excise balls and read at the gym.
C.Kids sit at desks for long while reading.
D.Kids do outdoor activities during lessons.
25.How do the students at Ward Elementary School benefit from the program?B
A.They exercise with high pressure.
B.They feel reading fun and learn better.
C.They improve their sense of competition.
D.They are instructed to read at the same pace.
26.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A
A.The program will be more and more popular.
B.Schools doubt whether the program is available.
C.Physical activities prevent kids from learning more.
D.The school achievement depends wholly on the program.
27.What would be the best title of the passage?C
A.Standing desks help school kids focus on their studies.
B.Traditional teaching should be banned in the near future.
C.‘Read And Ride'aims to make students healthier and smarter.
D.Kids need release energy during independent reading classes.
