18.New research has shown that you might not just be feeling blue; you may also be seeing it differently.Your mood may affect how you see the world around you,according to a new study.A team of researchers has proved that sadness could have an effect on the way we see colors.
The team,led by psychology researcher Christopher Thorstenson of the University of Rochester,found that people who had a sad mood were less accurate in identifying colors on the blue-yellow axis (軸),compared to people who weren't feeling sad.
"We were already deeply familiar with how often people use color terms to describe common phenomena,like mood,even when these concepts seem unrelated,"Thorstenson said in a statement."We thought maybe a reason why these metaphors (比喻) appear was that there really was a connection between mood and identifying colors in a different way."
Thorstenson and his team are not the first to identify a link between a depressed mood and a difference in recognition.In 2010,Emanuel Bubl and his team at Albert Ludwigs University Freiburg in Germany first proved a link between mood and identifying colors.This was supported by a 2013paper by Johnson Fam of the University of Singapore.
The team conducted two studies.In the first,127participants were chosen randomly  to watch one of two video clips,which had been proved in previous studies to feel either sadness or amusement.They didn't do that in a specific order.The entire group was then tasked with identifying the colors in 48continued color changes.The group that had been shown the sad clip was measurably worse at identifying colors along the blue-yellow axis.
For the second study,130participants were randomly assigned to watch either a sad clip or a neutral (中性的) one.The sadness group showed reduced ability to identify colors along the blue-yellow axis than the neutral group.

32.If oneD,the colors he sees might be different from those in others'eyes.
A.is in a good mood       B.has an eye illness
C.a(chǎn)ttends a speech        D.doesn't feel happy
33.Who were the first to find out the link between mood and identifying colours?D
A.Thorstenson and Johnson.
B.Thorstenson and his team.
C.Johnson and his team.
D.Emaneuel and his team.
34.The sadness group in the second studyC.
A.felt happy when watching the video
B.performed better than the other
C.were less able to identify some colours
D.could only identify blue and yellow
35.What does the underlined word in the fifth paragraph most probably mean?B
A.In no specific place.
B.With no specific rule.
C.With no specific confidence.
D.At no specific time.

In all one's life time,it is oneself that one spends the most time being with or dealing with.(36)D
When you are going upwards in life you tend to overestimate(高估) yourself.It seems that everything you seek for is within your reach.(37)F It's likely that you think it wise for yourself to stay away from the outer world.Actually,to get a thorough understanding of oneself,you may as well keep the following tips in mind.
Gain a correct view of oneself.You may look forward hopefully to the future but be sure not to expect too much,for dreams can never be fully realized.You may be courageous to meet challenges but it should be clear to you where to direct your efforts.(38)G
Self-appreciate.Whether you compare yourself to a high mountain or a small stone,you represent a state of nature.(39)AIf you earnestly(誠摯地) admire yourself you'll have a real sense of self-appreciation.
(40)BIn time of anger,do yourself a favor by releasing(釋放) it in a quiet place so that you won't be hurt by its flames; in time of sadness,do yourself a favor by sharing it with your friends so as to change a bad mood into a cheerful one; in time of tiredness,do yourself a favor by getting a good sleep.
Get a full control of one's life.Then one will find one's life full of color and flavor.

A.It has its own value.
B.Do oneself a favor when it's needed.
C.Do yourself a favor when you resist the attack of illness.
D.But it is precisely oneself that one has the least understanding of.
E.Especially if it is well within your reach,you are just too blind to see it.
F.When you are going downhill you tend to underestimate yourself.
G.So long as you have a perfect knowledge of yourself,there won't be difficulties you can't overcome.
