18.What is your favourite colour?Do you like yellow,orange,red?(71)D.Do you prefer greys and blues?Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be pessimist.At least,this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference,as well as the effect that colours have on human beings(72)B.If you happen to love brown,you did so,as soon as you opened your eyes,or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

16.Most people want to work,but it had become more difficult in today's world to find work for everyone. The economy (经济) of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people. Often this is not possible,and so more people are without work.Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in a shorter time. Also,machines do not ask for more money and longer holidays. In all of the countries of the world machines are taking work from people,not only in factories but also on the farms. One machine can often do the work of forty people. About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs,but only 60% of them can find jobs.

13.Homeschooling is the education of children at home,typically by parents but sometimes by tutors,rather than in public or private school.As a matter of fact,most childhood education occurred within the family or community.
Homeschooling is a legal choice for parents in developed countries to provide their children with a learning environment at home.Parents see many reasons for homeschool,including better test results,improved instruction,to help the public system with fewer kids,poor public school environment,religious reasons,improved character development,the expense of private education,and objection to what is taught locally in public school.
Homeschooling can also be a choice for families living in remote (遥远的) locations,living abroad,and to allow for more traveling.Also many young athletes and actors are taught at home,where a coach (教练) or tutor is with the child for many years and then knows the child very well.
In some places,an approved curriculum (课程) is required if children are to be home-schooled.In some cases a liberal arts (文科) education is provided.

11.It is true that people with better education are usually able to get better paying jobs.In other words,they have more chances to choose a good job while people with little or no education don't.It seems that the purpose of education is to make people get jobs.But this isn't accepted by all people.
   Some people may think that a person should spend the best years of his life to get education only for a way of living.This was probably one of the earliest reasons of education.In fact,if education is just a way of making a living,people don't need to spend so much time in school.People can get education for a living in a short time.Subjects like history and geography need not be taught to everyone.Even language and mathematics need not be taught in detail(详细地),either.Here it is clear that education is much more than teaching a man to get a way of living.
   Education is well-rounded and it is mainly for improving a man.It is not only to teach him to speak,read and write,but also to develop his creative thinking and other abilities.After that,it is to make him a wise man and thankfully enjoy the achievements of human.Education is to make a man lead a better life.Educated people are expected to be able to listen to good music,read good books,watch plays and most of all take an interest in the world.
   I would agree that making a good living is an important reason for education,but certainly not the most important or the main reason.

10."Home stay is a form of study abroad program.It allows the visitors to rent a room from a local(当地的) family to better under stand the local lifestyle.It also helps to improve the visitor's language ability,"said a teacher during a school meeting last term."Students who wish to learn more about foreign cultures or to get foreign experience should join this kind of holiday.I am sure you won't be disappointed(失望的)."
