What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red?   1  . Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist(悲观主义者). 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.  2   . 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.

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.

In the United States, 30% of the adult population has a “weight problem”. To many people, the cause is obvious（明显的）: they eat too much. But scientific evidence does little to support this idea. Going back to the America of the 1910s, we find that people were thinner than today, yet they ate more food. In those days people worked harder physically（体力上）, walked more, used machines much less and didn’t watch television.

Several modern studies, moreover, have shown that fatter people do not eat more on the average than thinner people. In fact, some investigations（调查）, such as the 1979 study of 3,545 London office workers, report that, on balance, fat people eat less than slimmer people.

    Studies show that slim people are more active than fat people. A study by a research group at Stanford University School of Medicine found the following interesting facts:

The more the men ran, the more body fat they lost

    The more they ran, the greater amount of food they ate.

    Thus, those who ran the most ate the most, yet lost the greatest amount of body fat.

1.The physical problem that many adult Americans have is that ______.

   A. they are too slim                  B. they work too hard

   C. they are too fat                   D. they lose too much body fat

   A. 30        B.50       C. 100        D. 150

3. Is there any scientific evidence to support that eating too much is the cause of a “weight problem”?

   A. Yes, there is plenty of evidence.

   B. Of course, there is some evidence to show this is true.

   C. There is hardly any scientific evidence to support this.

   D. We don’t know because the information is not given.

4.In comparison with the adult American population today, the Americans of the 1910s ______.

   A. ate more food and had more physical activities

   B. ate less food but had more activities

   D. thin people run less, but have greater increase in food intake

Thousands of people living in the Chinese eapital will celebrate the start of the Chinese New Year by heading for the ski resorts(滑雪场).Never mind that Beijing’s dry weather seldom produces now. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-seeking middle class has formed the basis for this New craze(热潮).

Since Beijing’s first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed an astonishing increase.There are now more than a dozen resorts. Clothes markets in the city have added bright colored ski suits to their winter collections. Mr.Wei, a manager of a newly-opened ski resort in Beijing, sees the growth of an industry that could soon lead Chinese to head for the ski resorts of Europe. In recent years ski resorts offering natural snow have opened in China. But many are in faraway areas of the country and can’t really match the equipment and services of some ski resorts in Europe.

Beijing’s sking craze is partly a result of the recent increase in private(私有的)cars. This has led to the growth of a leisure industry in the capital’s suburbs(郊区).which until the late-1990s were unreachable to ordinary people. According to Mr. Wei,About 40％ of the visitors to his resort some in their own cars. The rest are bused in by schools, businesses or government offices.

The problem is making money.Starting ski resorturequires quite a lot of money:hiring land from the local government,preparing the hills,buying snow machines,making sure there are enough water and electricity to run them,and buying ski equipment for hiring out to customers.The ski resort where Mr.Wei works cost nearly $4m to set up.And,as so often in China when someone comes up with a good idea,many others rush in and price wars break out.Beijing now offers some of the cheapest ski training classes in the world,though with most people rather new to the sport, expecting a few more doing the same job.
