Reading comprehension. (40)Passage 1Leisure plays an important part in British life. There are four main reasons for this.First of all, people spend less time working now than they used to, mostly due to the introduction of new technology in industry. The normal British working week is from Monday to Friday, 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, although some people regularly work a few hours overtime each week. Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two weeks paid holiday a year. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are closed. In some cases the dates of these national holidays change from year to year and in different parts of Britain.Another reason is that, thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live longer now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure left. Nowadays a much higher proportion of the population is over sixty, but in this group there is more woman than men.Finally, fewer babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing social attitudes. For example, many more married women now go out to work. The money they earn influences their leisure time. Even many married women who do not go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies because most British homes have washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other laborsaving gadgets.41. “Time to relax” means “time for .”A. refreshments B. enjoyment C. amusement D. rest42. “A paid holiday” means working people .A. have to pay for their holiday B. have no pay when they are have holidayC. get usual pay when they are on holiday D. get less pay when they are on holiday43. Among the old people, there are .A. as many men as women B. more women than menC. more men than women D. much more women than men44. In Britain, married women have more leisure hours because they have .A. work with a good pay B. a lot of timeC. fewer children and more laborsaving gadgets D. washing machines and vacuum cleaners45. Which of the following statements is not suggested in the test?A. Some married women have more time for reading. B. Some married women have interesting hobbies.C. Some married women go out to work. D. Some married women stay at home. Passage 2 What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up - we are born with our preference. 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.Colors do influence our moods. There is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides 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. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.46. The author regards the physiologists findings as_.A. groundless B.unnecessary C.reasonable D.great47. According to the physiologists, peoples color preference _.A. is born with themB. is gradually developed in their growing upC. is imposed on them by their parentsD. can be changed sometimes48. It can be concluded from the passage that its better to paint the dining room_.A. grey B.blue C.white D.yellow49. The example of the bridge is used to illustrate that _.A. people tend to kill themselves by jumping from the bridgesB.color of the bridges can affect people to a great degreeC.the bridge should have been repainted earlierD.color can kill people sometimes 50. In the factories, machines are painted _ to make the workers more active.A.grey B.black C.orange D.redPassage 3Direction: read the following passage and choose the best answer.Ted schredd doesnt like cars.

The cyclist invited Ted to speak at a big meeting about the environment.

As they cycled from Florida to Montreal and then back to Vancouver, everyday was an adventure. People paid for their food in restaurants and gave them extra money. Some people gave them $50 or$10. They slept in peoples backyards and drank beer with motorcycle gangs.On their way back to Vancouver, they stopped in Edmonton to visit Teds relatives. During the stopover, they got married.
