Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.Researchers dont know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.56. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?A. Yellow, green.B. Blue, green.C. Red, blue.D. Orange, white.57. Which of the following statements is NOT true?A. Sociable people like warm colors.B. Warm colors can make people excited.C. People who like to be with others dont like red.D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.58. Which is the right color for different rooms?A. Red or orange for offices.B. Orange for dining rooms.C. Blue for bedrooms.D. Red for hospitals.BIf a person tells you something is “the real McCoy”, he is telling you it is the real thing, not a copy. There is nothing false about “the real McCoy”. It is the best that can be found. There are different ideas on how the expression came into common use. Perhaps the most popular story is about a famous boxer, Charles Kid McCoy, a one-time world famous champion. One day, McCoy was having a drink in a bar with a lady friend. A man came up and began to talk to her. He was not a nice man. McCoy wanted no trouble. He asked the man to leave. He said, “Im Kid McCoy.” McCoy thought his name was so well-known that he didnt need to say more. But the man did not believe him. “Oh, yeah?” he said. “Well, if you are Kid McCoy, then I am George Washington!” And he continued to speak to the prize-fighters friend in all unpleasant way. McCoy hit the man with a fist and actually it was really a light touch. But the man fell to the ground, unconscious. Minutes later, when he came to sense, he called out. “That was the real McCoy!” As told by kid McCoy, that was how the expression “the real McCoy” got used.There are other versions, however. One is that the expression goes back to the days of prohibition（禁止）when it was illegal in the United States to sell whiskey. Although whiskey was against the law, many sold it. And many sold bad whiskey. They were not afraid to do so. Buying whiskey, good or had, was as illegal as selling it.But there was one whiskey dealer who was honest. His name was McCoy. He refused to sell bad whiskey. He sold only the best imported whiskey. His product became recognized as the best. It was called “the real McCoy”.The expression survived and soon became a general term. One way or another no matter how the expression began, “the real McCoy” is an expression that everyone understands. It means the one and only the best one. They are indeed words of special praise.59. What does the first paragraph say?A. It is about the exact meaning of the expression.B. It is how a person gets his famous name.C. It is how to tell the real one from the false one.D. It is how to find the best.60. In the third paragraph, “the prize-fighter” refers to_.A. a champion B. George WashingtonC. a fellow D. McCoy61. Which of the following is TRUE about the days prohibition?A. A national law didnt allow the sale of alcoholic drinks.B. Bad whiskey was not allowed to sell.C. People at that time preferred nothing but whiskey.D. The days of prohibition resulted in McCoys selling wine.62. What is the main idea of the whole passage?A. The story of a famous boxer.B. The general use of the version.C. The expression and its story.D. McCoy vs Unknown Man. COn a hot summer day, a soft drink can really take away your thirst. At home, at school, in the park or at the movies you can find one almost anywhere.Fruit juiceThere are different kinds of juice. One kind is made only from fresh fruit. This kind of fruit juice may not taste sweet enough for some people, but it is nutritious. Another kind of fruit juice tastes good but has lots of sugar in it. Many people buy this kind because of the advertisements. It is bad for your teeth and bones to drink lots of this.Energy drinksThese kinds of drinks have caffeine that make people get excited. They are sometimes called party drinks. Doctors say if you drink too much of this kind, you may have a heart attack.CarbonatedYou can see bubbles (泡沫) in these!

The writer wrote this passage _.A. to advise us to keep away from soft drinks B. to teach us some useful ways of keeping healthyC. to make the advertisements for the soft drink companiesD. to tell us how to choose a suitable one from all kinds of drinksDWould you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you beendoing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What cant you be bothered to do?A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懒散的) that theyd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britainslargest health center. The results were extremely surprising.About one in six people questioned said if their remote control （遥控器）was broken, they wouldcontinue watching the same channel rather than get up.More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.This led the report to conclude that its no wonder that one in six children in the UK areclassified as obese (very fat) before they start school.Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, notjust for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently their pets too.”“If we dont start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit toperform even the most fundamental tasks.”And Scotlands largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75%questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Bi
