results of four spots in the 2004 athens olympic games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue uniform. they discovered that when there was a big difference in the score, color had no influence on the result . but if it was a close match, the athlete in a red uniform was more likely to win. then they looked at the uniforms of the soccer teams at the euro 2004 tournament. again, teams wearing red won more games. the two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals. it had been discovered that when a male（雄性）shows red on its body, it sends a signal（信号）of its power and strength. for example, in many kinds of monkey, the more the male shows off its red scars（伤疤），the more females it can attract. based on this fact, the british scientists thought that the idea might work for humans, too. according to them, when an athlete sees a competitor in a red uniform, he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him. and that kind of feeling may have a bad influence on the players performance in the actual game. although the idea is interesting, most people dont accept that color signals in the animal world can really be useful to humans in sports. they think that it is unreasonable to develop an idea based on such a small number of examples. much more research has to be done to prove the influence of uniform colors on the performance of athletes.32. what did the scientists find out about the 2004 athens olympic games?a. athletes played equally well in four sports.b. game results had a big influence on the athletes.c. athletes dressed in red scored more in a close match.d. there was a big difference in red and blue teams scores.33. what may the red scars of a male animal suggests?a. it is a failure.b. it is quite strong.c. it has power over other males.d. it has attracted a lot of females.34. the underlined part “that kind of feeling” in the text refers to a feeling of .a. shame b. pride c. danger d. weakness35. what is most peoples attitude towards the scientists idea?a. interested. b. satisfied. c. doubtful. d. thankful.第二节：（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文的内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项 how to make friendsfriendship is a
