And she went to the teacher Mrs. James for help.Mary: Mrs. James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?Mrs. James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sad, yellow afraid. A person with a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.”Mary: Im afraid I dont understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?Mrs. James: Certainly. Now I just give you some cakes. In fact you dont like it, but you dont want to let me know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. Im not hungry.” Thats a white lie.Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.Mrs. James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the future. Please come to me if you have any questions.36 .

Talk about the weather, is my advice. How are you? is often followed by comments(评论) about the weather. Nice day today.Cold/hot enough for you? Will it ever stop raining? Some winter were having. Cant remember a winter/summer so cold/hot. Whew, its hot out there. These statements are often followed by a long conversation entirely about weather conditions. Past, present and the future. Our fascination with weather might seem silly, but the real purpose behind those endless discussions is small talk. Weathers a safe topic of conversation. As a group, we Americans seem to enjoy chatting with those around us. Whenever we stand in line at the grocery store, we like to take part in this kind of conversation with other people standing in line with us. If I were seated next to another American on any form of public transport, Id expect both of us to make a harmless comment about the weather as a way of greeting each other. At parties, the weather is a common topic, especially with those you are meeting for the first time. In contrast (相反),we are taught to avoid certain topics like religion (宗教)and politics. Weather is everywhere, it affects everybody and its a fairly objective, neutral (中性的)topic； You dont have to have an opinion about it, just make a state of a fact. What is truly interesting is the fact that we can go on and on about it. My Chinese friend has a hard time understanding why we put so much effort into this topic-and why I warn him about bringing up much more interesting subjects like salaries(薪资) or how much something costs. Sometimes it is tricky (棘手的) to make ones on winding cultural roads, especially those that are never taught in books.39 . What does the underlined word fascination in Paragraph 4mean?AAdviceBPredictionCStrong interest.DWild imagination.40 . In the authors opinion, weather is a common conversation topic in America because _.AAmericans dont like to talk about other topics except weatherBWeather affects everyday choices like clothes and changes a lotCWeather is quite an objective topic and doesnt cause bad feelingsDAmericans use it as a greeting when they cant bring up much more interesting subjects41 . What can we learn from the passage?AWeather is a good topic of conversation all over the world.BCultures that are not taught in books should be written about more.CTopics for conversation should be well considered in the United StatesDThe more topics you are interested in, the better you can be at small talk.How old is “old”? The answer has changed over the years. Two Hundred years ago, you were old at 35. At the beginning of the 20th century, the average life span (平均寿命) was 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is still thought young.So, how old is “old”? The answer is one youve heard many times, from all kinds of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel.” Your age simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well youve lived.“Nobody grows old by living a number of years,” wrote a writer. “People grow old when they dont have their ideals (理想).” People shouldnt have the wrong ideas about aging. Sometimes, older minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice Brophy once said, “It makes me unhappy when people say, You look young for your age. What does that mean? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80.”42 . About 100 years ago, the average life span was _.A35B45C70D8043 . The meaning of the word “aging” is _.Agrowing oldBst
