People who speak or perform before the public sometimes may suffer from “stage fright”. Stage fright makes a person 41 . In the worst case, it can make one's mind 42 what one ought to say, or do. Actors, musicians, dancers, lawyers, even radio show hosts have 43 stage fright at one time or another.

After each performance, they 52 what happened and find out what 53 helped and what did not. As they perform more, they will fear
54 , by as much as 50%. Miss Miles says the aim is only to reduce stage fright, not to get rid of it 55 . This is because a little stage fright makes a person more cautious, and improves their performance.

Ⅵ.阅读理解（共20小题，计30分）
阅读下列短文，然后从每小题A、B、C、D中选出能回答所提问题或完成所给句子的最佳答案。
A
About ten men in every hundred have the trouble of colorblindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about five in every hundred are affected in this matter. Perhaps, after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman.
There are different shapes of color blindness. For example, a man may be able to see deep red. He may think that red, orange and yellow are all shades of green. Sometimes a person can not tell the difference between blue and green. Only a few unlucky men may see everything in shades of green-a strange world indeed.
Colour blindness in human beings is a strange thing to say clearly. In only one eye there are millions of very small things called “cones①”. These help us to see in a bright light and to tell difference between colours. There are also millions of “rods②”，but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but no colours. Some insects have favourite colours. Mosquitoes③ like blue but do not like yellow. A red light will not attract insects, but a blue light will. Human beings also have favourite colours. Yet we are lucky. With the help of the cones in our eyes we can see many beautiful colours by day, and with the help of the rods we can see shapes at night. One day we may even learn more about the invisible④ colours around us.
生词注释：①cone n.锥形物 ②rods n.棒 ③mosquitoe n.蚊子
④invisible adj.看不见的
56.“colour blindness”means in Chinese.
A.色盲 B.颜料 C.盲目 D.瞎
57.Why do some people say it is safer to be driven by women?
A.Women are better at driving than men.
B.Women are more careful.
C.There are fewer colour blind women.
D.Women are friendly to people.
58.With the help of the “cones”, we can .
A.tell different shapes B.kill insects
C.see in a weak light D.tell orange from yellow
59.We can attract and kill mosquitoes by using a light.
A.red B.yellow C.blue D.green
60.Which of the following sentences about the colour blindness is TRUE?

B.Not all of them have the same problem in recognizing(识别)colour.
C.None of them can tell the difference between blue and green.
D.All of them see everything in shades of green.

In the United States, there are three kinds of taxes(税).
The first tax is for the federal(联邦的)government. American people who have a salary(薪水) of more than four to five thousand dollars a year must pay a certain rate(比率)of their salary to the federal government. The rate is different from person to person. If depends on his or her salary. If a person has a salary of less than $17,850 a year, he or she should pay 15% of his or her salary to the federal government. If a person has a salary of more than $17,850 a year, he or she should pay 28% of his or her salary to the federal government.
The second tax is for the state government: New York, California, North Dakota, or any of the other forty-seven states. Some states have the same tax as that of the federal government. Of course, the rate for the state tax is lower. Other states have a sales tax, for example, a person might want to buy a radio for twenty-five dollars. If there is a sales tax of 8% in that state, then the cost of the radio is twenty-seven dollars.
The third tax is for the city. This tax comes in two forms: property(财产)tax(people who own a house have to pay taxes on it)and excise tax(消费税). The cities use the tax money for education, police and some other public matters.
Since Americans pay such high taxes, they feel that the United States has the worst taxes in the world, because they have to work one day each week just to pay their taxes.
61.People in the United States should pay taxes to .
A.the federal government B.the city
C.the state government D.all of the above

63.If there is a sales tax of 8% in the state and an American wants to buy a car for $12,000, how much sales tax should he pay to the state government?
A.$1,200. B.$1,800. C.$960. D.$3,400.
64.What taxes are paid to the city?

C.Sales tax and salary tax. D.Property tax and excise tax.
65.What do Americans think of their taxes?

Everybody is afraid of quicksand(流沙). In the films, people fall into quicksand. They are pulled down and down. They disappear! No one sees them again!
What is quicksand? Can it really pull things down? No. It cannot. Quicksand cannot pull things into it. Quicksand is really loose(松散的)sand and a lot of water. The water makes the quicksand. It is different from the sand on the beach. A person can walk on the beach. A person cannot walk on quicksand. It is too loose.
Falling into quicksand does not hurt. It is almost like falling into water! Your body will go down. But then it will come up. People can float(漂浮)in quicksand. But they must not fight the sand. That would make them go down. They should move slowty until they float.
Quicksand is found in many places. It is found near the mouths of large rivers. The mouth of a river is where the river meets the ocean or the sea. Quicksand is also found on land. In some places the water stays on the land. It does not drain(排放)or dry up. If there is sand around, the sand gets very wet. Then it becomes quicksand.
Will you go down in quicksand? Yes, but not all the way. You will float. But you should float in clean water. Quicksand is too dirty!
