If they are close to confessing a crime, the blue on the wall might tip the balance. Gwent Police have abandoned colours such as greys and browns of the 20th-century police cell(牢房) and have used colour psychology to decorate them. Ystrad Mynach station, which recently opened at a cost of5 million, has four cells with glass doors for prisoners who suffer from claustrophobia(幽闭恐怖症). Designers have painted the frames yellow, which researchers say is a calming colour. Other cells contain a royal blue line because psychologists believe that the colour is likely to encourage truthfulness. The station has 31 cells, including 12 with a “live scan” system for drunken or disturbed prisoners, which detects the rise and fall of their chest. An alarm alerts officers if a prisoners breathing stops and carries on ringing until the door is opened. Designers and psychologists have worked for years on colour. Blue is said to suggest trust, efficiency, duty, logic, coolness, thinking and calm. It also suggests coldness and unfriendliness. It is thought that strong blues will stimulate clear thought and lighter, soft colours will calm the mind and aid concentration. Yellow is linked with confidence, self-respect and friendliness. Get the colour wrong and it could cause fear, depression and anxiety, but the right yellow can lift spirits and self-respect. Ingrid Collins, a psychologist who specializes in the effects of colour, said that colour was an “energy force”. She said: “Blue does enhance munication but I am not sure it would enhance truthful munication.” Yellow, she said, affected the mind. Red, on the other hand, should never be considered because it could increase aggression. Mrs Collins praised the designers for using colours in the cells. Gwent is not the first British force to experiment with colour to calm down or persuade prisoners to co-operate. In the 1990s Strathclyde Police used pink in cells based on research carried out by the US Navy. 61. The expression “tip the balance” in paragraph 1 probably indicates that the blue might _. A. let suspects keep their balance B. help suspects to confess their crimes C. make suspects cold and unfriendly in law court D. enable suspects to change their attitudes to colours 62. Which of the following colours should NOT be used in cells aording to the passage? A. Pink. B. Yellow C. Blue. D. Red. 63. Which of the following helps alert officers if someone stops breathing? A. Scanning equipment. B. Royal blue lines. C. Glass doors. D. Yellow frames. 64. The passage is mainly concerned with _ A. the relationship between colours and psychology B. a parison of different functions of colours C. the use of colours in cells to affect criminals psychology D. scientific ways to help criminals reform themselves in prison B In a recently published book, I came across some exercises with interesting names such as fishbone diagrams, lotus flowers and clustering. As I used these exercises in my classes, I noticed that students were interested. They said more and wrote more. They enjoyed expressing their ideas and sharing them in groups. They were no longer passively waiting for the bell , but actively taking part in the lesson. I find that creativity can act as a way to increase participation and improve fluency. Creativity has bee a popular word in recent years. Scholars in arts, psychology, business, education and science are all working to get a deeper understanding of it. Robert J. Stemberg is a creativity specialist and Yale professor of psychology. He defines creativity as “the ability to produce work that is both new (original) and appropriate(applicable to the situation ) ”. This definition is useful, as we want our students to use language in a new way and to use it correctly and properly. Mot scholars say there are two types of creativity: big “C” creativity and small “c” creativity. Big “C” creativity refers to genius level thinking that results in artistic masterpieces and scientific breakthroughs. Small “c” creativity refers to everyday level thinking that can be used in any situation. Our emphasis is on the latter. While it goes without saying that any of our students could go on to be the next Picasso or Edison, our aim is to help students produce more ideas and use language in a new way. 65. The underlined words “waiting for the bell ” in the first paragraph probably means_. A. longing for a phone call B. hoping to have a bell C. expecting the end of the class D. waiting to speak in the class 66. It can be inferred from the passage that the author thinks the exercises in the book were _. A. popular B. useful C. scientific D. creative 67. When you use a familiar word in a new way, you are _. A creative in the sense of big “C” creativity. B. creative in the sense of small “c” creativity. C. not creative in the sense of big “C” creativity. D. not creative in the sense of small “c” creativity. 68. The main purpose of the passage is to _. A. show how useful the book is. B. explain what creativity is C. discuss how one can be creative D. tell what teaching aims at C How I Turned to Be Optimistic I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house，and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying，and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning. I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact，I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to e back was hardly in my head then. The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism，but the idea did not e to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be.Mother remarried，and things became even more plex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad，and saw no end to “the hard times.” My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters，filled out forms，translated at interviews with Immigration officers，took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there，and even discussed telephone bills with pany representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule：almost all mon troubles eventually go away!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up，and just wait a little!I believe that my life will turn out all right，even though it will not be that easy. 69. How did the author get to know America? A.From her relatives. B.From her mother. C.From books and pictures. D.From radio programs. 70. Upon leaving for America the author felt _.
