6、Hundreds of tourists came to the seaside village. Mr. Frenchs cottage was the most interesting building in the village and many of the tourists came to see it. From morning till night there were tourists outside the cottage. They looked through the windows and many of them even went into Mr. Frenchs

7、 garden. This was too much for Mr. French, he decided to drive the unwelcome visitors away, so he put up a notice in the window.

For the first group the room was painted whi

12、te; for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical system under the carpet. The experiment revealed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than the people in the white environment. Dark brow

13、n stimulated more activity, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room communicates and influences those inside. Another experiment presented subjects with photographs of faces that were to be rated in terms of energy and well-being. Three

14、groups of subjects were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in a different kind of room. One group was in an ugly room that resembled a messy storeroom. Another group was in an average room - a nice office. The third group was in a tastefully designed living room, with carpeting

15、 and drapes. Results showed that the subjects in the beautiful room tended to give higher ratings to the faces than did those in the ugly room.

24、. Her face was spotty; her stomach was always upset; she couldnt sleep. For a long time, no one could help her.

I have always thought that experts should be sent not only to big towns where there is a lot of opportunity to talk to English speak

31、ers, but also to remote areas. My experiences in Nanping, Fujian, strengthened my opinions. I recently spent a month in Nanping, teaching English to teachers of English from North Fujian. It was an experience I shall never forget. There were about 50 teachers, their ages ranged from 19 to 65. There

32、was also a wide range of levels. Most of them had never met native English speakers before, and few had been on courses taught by an English-speaking expert.

44、ecurity and commodity exchanges are trading posts where people meet who wish to buy or sell. The exchanges themselves do no trading; they merely provide a place where prospective buyers and sellers can meet and conduct their business. Wall Street, although the best known, is not the only home of exc

45、hanges in the United States. There are the cotton exchanges in New Orleans and Chicago; the Mercantile Exchange, which deals in many farm products, in Chicago; and grain exchanges in many of the large cities of the Midwest. Some exchanges, like the Chicago Board of Trade, provide market services for

46、 several kinds of products. These trading posts where products may be bought or sold are called commodity exchanges. The security exchanges, on the other hand, are meeting places where stocks and bonds are traded. Like the commodity exchanges, they help serve the economic life of the country. But wh

47、en their operations get out of hand, they may become very dangerous. In 1929, the security exchanges, or stock market, contributed to a crash-a sudden, sharp decline in the value of securities. Many people lost fortunes; many corporations were bankrupted; many workers lost their jobs. The Crash of 1

48、929 has been attributed to many causes, among them were wild and unwise speculation by many people and dishonest practices on the part of some businessmen and of some members of the exchanges. Today, however, investing through security exchanges and trading on commodity exchanges have been made safe

49、r by regulations set up by the exchanges themselves and by regulations of the United States government. In 1922, the government instituted the Commodity Exchange Commission which operates through the Department of Agriculture; and in 1934, the Securities and Exchange Commission, to protect investors

50、 and the public against dishonest practices on the exchanges. 1. Security and commodity exchanges are meeting places for buyers and sellers of _.A.stocksB.grainC.securitiesD.all of these答案:D2.

53、.D.Buying and selling grain is dishonest.答案:BText 2 It was unfortunate that, after so trouble-free an arrival, he should stumble in the dark as he was rising and severely twist his ankle on a piece of rock. After the first shock the pain became bearable, and he gathered up his parachute before limpi

54、ng into the trees to hide it as best he could. The hardness of the ground and the deep darkness made it almost impossible to do this efficiently. The pine needles lay several inches deep, so he simply piled them on top of the parachute, cutting the short twigs that he could feel around his legs, and

55、 spreading them on top of the needles. He had great doubts about whether it would stay buried, but there was very little else that he could do about it. After limping for some distance in an indirect course away from his parachute he began to make his way downhill through the trees. He had to find o

56、ut where he was, and then decide what to do next. But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to be almost beyond his powers. He moved more and more slowly, walking in long sideways movements across the slope, which meant taking more steps but less painful ones. By the time he cleared the trees and reached the valley, day was breaking. Mist hung in soft sheets across the fields. Small cottages and farm buildings grouped like sleeping cattle around a village church, whose pointed tower high into the cold
