a. other vehicles also stopped there. b. it was unreliable for making judgments. c. more lorries than buses responded to the girl. d. it took too much time for the girl to catch the bus. 59.finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping_. a. to find people there b. to find more buses there c. to find the bus by herself there d. to find people more helpful there bcoming of age day is a japanese holiday held on the second monday of january. it is held in order to help all those who are 20 or over realize that they have become independent members of society. coming of age ceremonies have been held since the ancient times in japan. in the past, boys marked their change to adulthood when they were around 15, and girls celebrated their coming of age when they turned 13 or so. it wasnt until 1876 that 20 became the legal age of adulthood.these days, many women choose to wear traditional clothing-a kind of kimono(和服) with special designs. for unmarried women, this type of kimono is the most formal thing they can wear. however, such a full set of formal clothing is expensive, so it is usually either passed down or rented rather than being bought specially for the occasion. men may also wear traditional clothing.local city governments host special coming of age ceremonies for 20-year-olds. they gain the right to vote on their twentieth birthday and have new responsibilities as well. so the age of 20 is a big turning point for the japanese. all young adults who turned or will turn 20 between april 1 of the previous year and march 31 of the current one and who maintain residency(住所) in the area are invited to attend. government officials give speeches, and small presents are handed out to the new adults during the ceremonies.after the ceremonies, the young adults often gather in groups and go to parties.60. the ceremonies of coming of age day for 20 dated back to_. a. the 16th century b. the 17th century c. the 18th century d. the 19th century61. according to the passage, who is likely to make speech during the coming of age ceremony? a. the headmaster of a school. b. the mayor of the local government. c. the prime minister of the nation. d. the leader of the youth organization.62. which of the following statements is not true about the traditional clothing? a. it is of great value. b. it has special designs. c. it is usually passed on from the elder or rented. d. it is a kind of less formal uniform.63. when a japanese reaches 20, it means that he/she has the right to_. a. drink b. drive c. vote d. marrycwhy is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?the answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. to the egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for muslims, it means heaven. red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. in china, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the new year. for many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）.peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions（反应）toward them. green is said to be the most restful color. it has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. people who work in green environments have been found to have fewer stomach aches.red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites(食欲).many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. similarly, many commercial websites will have a red“buy now”button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye. blue is another calming color. unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. so if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.the next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.64. muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their.a. cultural values b. commercial purposesc. personal experiences d. physical reactions to the color65. why will many commercial websites have a red “buy now” button? a. to relax people physically. b. to increase peoples appetites.c. to encourage people to make a purchase. d. to cause a persons blood pressure to rise.66. what color might help lose weight according to the text?a. red b. green. c. blue. d. purple.67. which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?
