We might think we know which colours do what.The idea that red wakes us up or blue calms us down is deeply rooted in Western culture.But do they really change our behaviour in the ways that we assume?
When it comes to scientific research, the results are mixed and at times contested.Some studies have found that people do better on cognitive tasks when faced with red rather than blue or green; others show the opposite.The idea is that if you repeatedly have a particular experience surrounded by a certain colour, then you eventually begin to associate that colour with the way you were feeling or behaving.A school career spent reading your teacher’s red writing circling your mistakes forever makes you link red with danger.Blue meanwhile is more likely to be associated with calmer situations like marvelling at a big blue expanse of sky.
Of course there will always be exceptions --- the comment from the teacher saying “well done” is also written in red.It is true that people do make different associations with different colours, but whether this translates into behaving in a certain way or succeeding at a particular task is a different question.
In 2009 researchers tried to clarify the situation.They sat their participants at computer screens colored blue, red or “neutral” and tested them on various tasks.With a red screen people did better on tasks requiring attention to detail, but when the screen was blue they did better on creative tasks.In practice this might be tricky.In a classroom you might want to think creatively some of the time and pay attention to detail at others.
However, when another team tried to repeat the study with a larger group of people in 2014, the effect of color disappeared.The initial study consisted of just 69 people.In this new, bigger study, of 263 volunteers, background color made no difference.
So colors might well have an effect, but so far those effects have been difficult to demonstrate consistently and sometimes don’t seem to exist at all.
1.What’s the major function of the first paragraph?

A.there are exceptions to every rule
B.people tend to associate colors with behaviors

3.It can be concluded from the results of the studies in 2009 and 2014 that _____.
A.the research findings are practical in indoor decoration
B.solid evidence is inadequate to prove how colors affect us
C.a larger study may help confirm colors’ effects on our behaviors
D.walls should be painted different colors depending on different tasks

The news which the English Entrance Examination will be reformed has caused a big “earthquake” in our country.Many people, included students, are for it.But there are also some people are against it.Then, is it better to do so or not? Personally, I think the reform has between advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, it can reduce students’ learn burden and enable English to return back to its true function.On the other hand, it will cause students to spend less time on studying English and to attached less importance to English.If so, students will not have a good knowledge of English.What’s more, if students don’t have so a good ability, they will not be able to broaden our horizon and meet the future challenges.

A new generation addiction is quickly spreading all over the world. Weboholism(網癮), a twentieth century disease, affects people from different ages. They surf the net, use e-mail and speak in chat rooms. They spend many hours on the computer, and it becomes a compulsive habit. They cannot stop, and it affects their lives.

The scientist from the Lockheed Space Company work in Felton, California, with the help of a computer. But the computer is placed in Sunnyside, about 80 kilometers away. What scientists input (輸入) is sent by telephone lines to the computer, and after a time, copies of the designs are needed back in Felton as quickly as possible Lockheed people have tried several ways of sending the prints, but the most effective seems to be by pigeon. Are pigeons really used to carry messages in these days? They are, and they send the prints faster and cheaper than any other way.

THANK-you cards--heartfelt expressions of gratitude for gifts, services and general kindness--seem to be rare in an age when the Internet continues to reduce human interaction.
Although our society has changed greatly over the past century, the etiquette of thank-you notes has not.
While most people would agree that thank-you notes under these circumstances are a necessity, there are still those who forever postpone or are forgetful for unknown reasons.
And at no time of the year are thank-you notes more visible (or lacking) than June, the month of graduations, and the beginning of summer parties.
"It's a must-do thing. A real thank you does not come by e-mail. It comes in the mail in an envelope. And what comes out of an envelope is a beautiful thing to touch and to handle and to pass around for everyone to read," said etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige.
Don't think for a second that Baldrige is old-fashioned. Handwritten thank-you notes--any handwritten correspondence, for that matter- have taken on an air of extra importance and dignity (莊重) in this e-hyper (電子狂躁的) world.
Baldrige remains hopeful that the art may be enjoying a renaissance (復興,再生).
More than simply obeying rules of etiquette, thank-you cards are a sign of caring.
"They're more important now than ever," expert Peter Post says. "You are building a relationship. And part of building that relationship is that you acknowledge when someone has done something nice for you. "
"The payoff," Post says, "can be huge. The more we do it, the more it comes back to us, and it's a benefit to us all. It makes our world a little bit nicer place to live in. "
1.Nowadays thank-you cards seem to be rare mainly because ______.
A. people think that they are out of fashion
B. it is quicker to say thanks by e-mail
C. the Internet has reduced people's contact
D. people are too busy to remember these things
2.From the context, the word "etiquette" in the second paragraph probably means ______.
A. old objects for sale
B. rules for people to obey
C. hand-made articles
D. customs for polite behavior
3.The author implies in this article that ______.
A. old-fashioned people take a negative attitude to e-mails
B. the changing society is making people impolite and lazy
C. modern technology is driving people apart
D. the e-hyper world is not a nice place to live in
4.What’s Baldrige’s attitude towards handwritten thank-you cards?
A. Regretful to disappear
B. Promising to come back
C. Old-fashioned to keep
D. Unnecessary between friends
