shook my head, “no. its just for fun.” while reading a good book, i can totally forget myself and fly to another world. its like exploring through someones eyes, which is just as exciting as watching

would live among high officials. the student answered, “ i will be all right. i have prepared a hundred high hats, one for each official i will meet. i am sure i will succeed.” the teacher got angry on hearing this. “what?” he cried. “is this what ten years of my teaching has made of you? nothing but flatterer(拍马屁的人)?” “excuse m7e, honored(尊敬的) master,” the student rose to his feet and apologized hurriedly. “but you have always been absorbed in your studies and dont know how vulgar(庸俗的) the world has come to be. there are few men in the world who are above flatterers like you.” “there is

but one cannot take good health for granted. it is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. there are three things that a person can do to help stay in good shape: eat right food ,get enough sleep, and exercise regularly. proper nutrition (营养) is important for good health. your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind of “fuel”(燃料).dont eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. eat plenty of foods high in protein (蛋白质) ,like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins (维他命) and minerals. however, dont overeat. it is not helpful to be overweight. getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. if you dont get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. you have no energy. over a long period of time a little a amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality (人的个性).be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each night. if you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp. finally, get plenty of exercise. exercise firms the body, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. it also improves your heart and lungs. if you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span (寿命).any kind of exercise is good. most sports are excellent for keeping the body in good shapes: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on are good examples. sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too. if everybody, were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. we would all live to be much older and wiser.9.in order to keep good health, _ .a. we

d. sleeping welldthe fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us understand our feeling about color. if they sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it. salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings（包装）， that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妆品） should never be packed in brown. their discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology（心理学）。 some of our preferences（偏爱） for colors are clearly psychological. dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on peoples mind. people in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure; red is exciting. pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a close study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.12. the passage tells us that salesmen have _.a. discovered the relationship between color and psychologyb. tried out colors on blind people c. found out that color affect salesd. developed a special subject of color psychology13. it can be inferred from the passage that _.a. what color we prefer depends on our state of mindb. foods sell well in green or blue wrappingsc. blind people cannot sense color differenced. a bright yellow has exactly the opposite effect to red14. if people are exposed to（置身于） pure blue, _.a. their blood pressure rises b. they want to taste blue foodsc. they will feel like buying thingsd. they wont easily feel nervous15. which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?a. colors and sales b. colors and feelingsc. the blind and colors d. preferences for colors第二节 七选五（共5个小题，满分15分）_16_ .being angry doesnt really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. the goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. this is hard for some kids and adults,
