I cannot imagine how much fun it is to ride a horse through endless fields and I would love to come and visit you one day. Your siblings (兄弟姊妹) also sound lovely. I am an only child, so I can only imagine what it is like to have older brothers and sisters.Life in New York is so busy and it is difficult to find the time to get to know people. Even becoming close to my classmates has proved to be quite difficult over the years. However, at times it can be the most amazing city in the whole wide world. At night it is so bright and lively and the whole place is full of things to do.I love reading too! I have never read any books by your favorite author Enid Blyton though.

BWhen should kids be taught selfcontrol?CThe key to getting along well with kids DThe secret to raising wellbehaved kids.DMcdonalds. Wends. Burger King. Jack in the Box. Well, besides being fast food chains, theyre all red. And its not a coincidence（巧合). Color is one of the many ways companies use to connect with customers. And if your giving up fast food isnt hard enough. those colorful red logos(标志) might be even harder to ignore. The average human can see ten million colors, but red is special. It turns out to be one of the first colors our ancient ancestors thought important enough to name. Back before alphabets and writing, early human languages were surprisingly not colorful. There were words for black and white and red but not much else. In fact, blue didnt show up until thousands of years later. As a result, we have a deeper connection to red than any other color and we react to it in certain ways that actually are to fast food companies advantage. For starters, researchers have found that red can cause a sense of hurry. Also, it has an ability to whet our appetites(食欲). And when those two get together, the fast food companies might attract lots of hungry customers who want more food, fast.So a red logo isnt just a welcoming sign, its appeal for your brain Now, its unclear why red makes us feel this way. But perhaps it has something to do with where the word comes from. Many ancient languages, including Hebrew, first name “red” from their word for “blood”. In fact, red is one of the few colors today that cultures almost all over the world associate with luck, romance, joy, hope, courage, and other good things. And its no wonder companies devote so much thought to their logos. After all, were a visual species(视觉物种). Despite having five senses, about 80 % of consumers say colors are what give brands the memorable stamp of recognition. Jus think what the logo of Mcdonald s would look like in blue, green or pink. Its just not the same, right?27.What can be learnt about early human language?A.There were no words for red. B. Words for colors were rarely used.C. Only few words were for colors. D. The word for blue showed up earlier.28.Which can best explain “whet” underlined in paragraph 3?A.Confuse B. judge C. affect. D. increase29.How do most people find the color red?A. It can promote sales. B. It is a sign of culture. C. It is a color for emergency. D. It conveys positive meanings.30.In which section of a magazine might the text be found?A.Business. B. Lifestyle. C. Diet. D. Fashion.第二节 七选五(每小题2分,共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Have you wanted to try an ebook? Has the cost of ebooks stopped you?
