These days，it is easier for us to travel to other countries than ever before．However，there is a big difficulty that most of us   1    when we meet people in other countries—we cannot communicate with them．There are   2   where English is still not spoken，though it is the most widely known language．So，wouldn't it be   3   if there was one language that could be understood by anyone anywhere in the world?

Esperanto that was created in 1887 may be the world's  4  truly international language．In fact，although   5   artificial（人造的）languages have been already created，only Esperanto has had much success．Its learners say that it is about four times   6    to learn than other languages．Spelling and pronunciation are both easy，too．For example，it does not have silent __7_ like the “h” in “honest”．If you   8   a word，you can spell it without any difficulty．The grammar is also as simple as possible：only sixteen basic   9   ，no irregular verbs（不规则动词），only six verb endings．

In short，Esperanto should be attractive（有吸引力的）as a language to learn，  10   there is a problem：how many people have met anyone who can really speak it? Anyway，we hope that some day one language can be mastered easily by anyone．

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? You do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like gray and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. 83You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理学者) tell us. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. 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 yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day.84Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have few accidents when their machines are painted (漆) orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or new colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colors they like or dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character (性格) when you choose something in different colors.

If I can give up coffee, anyone can! I was completely addicted (上瘾). I drank coffee all day. I depended on it for everything. Without coffee, I became sad and anxious. I would feel nervous if I couldn’t get some coffee before an important event like giving a speech or taking an exam.

It took countless tries before I realized how to give up coffee. Between each try, I learned a little bit more. Here’s how I did it.

Coffee Addiction Knowledge

    The first step is to learn about what you are dealing with. Caffeine is a drug. The human body gets addicted to it easily. That’s why you feel good when you get your first cup of coffee in the morning and it’s why you feel bad when you try to give it up. There are emotional addictions to the caffeine as well. Some people believe that with the caffeine you will perform better and have more confidence.

Gradually Cut the Amount and Then Replace (替代)It with Green Tea

    You can give up coffee suddenly, but why put yourself through that unless you need an unpleasant experience? You can follow these two steps.

    1) Gradually cut the amount of coffee you drink according to a plan. Let’s say, you normally drink 5 cups of coffee a day. Over a one-week period, cut out one cup ________ so that by the sixth day you’re at zero.

    2) On your first day without coffee replace it with green tea. Green tea has the lowest amount of caffeine of most teas, but don’t expect any similar coffee taste.

81. How would the writer feel without coffee before giving it up?

82. What is caffeine according to the passage?

83. Put the underlined sentence into Chinese.

84. Fill in the blank with proper words (no more than 5 words).

85. Give a proper title (题目) to the passage.
