【原文】

One day about thirty years ago, a two-year-old boy was watching a Tom and Jerry cartoon on TV. Tom the cat began to play the piano. The music was so beautiful that the boy fell in love with it at once. The boy was Lang Lang — a future famous pianists.

Lang Lang began to play the piano at 3. At the age of 5, he won first place in the piano competition of his hometown of Shenyang. People thought he was a genius. From that moment on, playing the piano became the dream of Lang Lang and his parents. To get closer to his dream, when Lang Lang was 9, he and his father went to Beijing to study piano. His father even quit his job. But instead of the praise he had received at home, little Lang Lang experienced the hardest time in his life.

“Six months later the teacher didn’t think I play well and kicks me out of the class. It completely crushed my piano dreams,” Lang Lang once said in an interview. Lang’s father was shocked and very angry. He told Lang Lang either to go back to Shenyang or to commit suicide. Lang Lang was so hurt that he hit the wall. He hated piano!

Luckily, another teacher noticed Lang Lang’s sadness and encouraged him. Lang Lang gradually found his passion and again felt new confidence about his piano playing. When he was 17, Lang became famous after he played in a great concert in Chicago, US.

Now 35-year-old Lang Lang is known all over the world for his great performances. He played at the Beijing Olympics in 2008. He was also one of Times magazine’s 100 Most Influential People in the World in 2009.

【题目】 Many of us have feelings of loneliness as we grow up. As a teenager, just eating alone in the dining hall can’t be acceptable, and girls even go to the restrooms hand in hand. They fear being called a “loner”.

In these cases, we might use the word “loner” in a disapproving (不赞成的) way. However, it can actually have a positive meaning as well.

It all depends on our attitude toward being alone. If we see being alone as something not very good, we will be against it. But if we understand that it’s an everyday part of life, we’ll be able to “hug the beauty of our solo (单独的) journey”, as best-selling US writer Mandy Hale wrote in her book The Single Woman.

In some countries, more young people are choosing to be loners. In South Korea, “honjok” has become a growing lifestyle. The word comes from Korean “hon” (alone) and “jok” (group).These people eat alone, travel alone, and enjoy being by themselves. “I hope it grows into a self-supporting culture of happiness.” said Jang Jae Young, a South Korean who runs a website about this solo lifestyle called www.honjok.me.

In Japan, people have developed a strong “loner culture” and even a “loner economy (经济).” There are many solo KTVs and solo coffee bars. Noodle restaurants for solo customers are especially popular. There are boards which separate each seat. Customers fill out a form to make an order, and then press a button to call the waiter. They don’t see the faces of other customers or waiters.

People are becoming more experienced in and comfortable about being alone. This doesn’t mean we should totally keep ourselves away from the outside world, of course. But it doesn’t hurt to have some “me time” once in a while.

【题目】 In English, when someone is very angry we say this person “sees red”, like a bull goes wild after seeing a red cloth. Now it turns out that “seeing red” is not just an expression for angry people, but also a scientific fact.

Researchers at North Dakota State University in the US found that there is a connection between the color red and anger. Angry people really do “see red” where others don’t. And a preference for red over blue may even suggest a more hostile personality.

The study includes a number of experiments. In the first, researchers asked a group of people which color they preferred, red or blue. Participants (参加者) then did personality tests. Results showed that those who chose red tended to be more hostile.

During a second test, participants looked at faded images that could be regarded either red or blue. Those who saw red scored 25 percent higher on hostility in the personality test.

“Hostile people have hostile thoughts; hostile thoughts are connected with the color red, and therefore hostile people see this color more frequently,” the researchers told The Independent.

Finally, the participants were told about imaginary situations in which they could take different actions. Results showed that in these situations, red-preferring people were more likely to show that they would harm another person than those who preferred blue.

“An important message from this research is that color can send psychological (心理的) meaning,” the researchers said.

Where does this connection between the color red and anger come from? Scientists said it might be a matter of evolution (进化). In ancient times, poisonous plants and insects could cause wounds and bleeding. So it may have become instinctive (本能的) for people to link the color red with danger and threats.

【1】“Seeing red” is not just an expression for angry people, but also a _______.

A.legend storyB.funny joke

C.scientific factD.useful suggestion

【2】The underlined word “hostile” in the second paragraph means_____.

A.unfriendlyB.popular

C.upsetD.cheerful

【3】During a second test, those who saw red scored 25 percent ______ on hostility in the personality test.

A.lowerB.higher

C.moreD.cheerful

【4】In the final test, the participants were told about ______ in which they could take different actions.

A.faded imagesB.the true information

C.the same experienceD.imaginary situations

【5】Which of the following is NOT true about the study?

A.Participants did personality tests in the study.

B.Participants took three tests in the study.

C.Participants were tested on seven different colors.

D.Blue-preferring people were less likely to harm others.

【6】What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?

A.It tells us scientists’ new findings.

B.It explains why red is connected to anger.

C.It tells us the importance of evolution.

D.It shows us the poor living conditions of ancient people.
