Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life. Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.‎ A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier ‎ but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark gray.　　 　　‎ ‎ Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.‎ ‎19. According to this passage, _________.‎ A. one can choose his color preference B. one is born with his color preference　　 ‎ C. one's color preference is changeable　　‎ D. one has to choose his favorite color as soon as he can see clearly　　‎ ‎20. We would pay attention to colors because _______.　　‎ ‎ A. colors do have effect on our moods(情绪)　　‎ ‎ B. colors may have effect on our work and study C. light and bright colors make people happy D. you can know your friends better by the colors they like or dislike ‎21. The main idea of this passage is ________.　　‎ ‎ A. one's color preference shows one's character B. you can brighten your life with wonderful colors C. one's color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings D. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference ‎22. "I am feeling black" means ______.‎ A. I am feeling well ‎ B. I am very happy 　　‎ C. I am excited 　　 ‎ D. I am depressed C Everyone knows that if you do not exercise your arms or legs for quite a while, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in a similar way. ‎ When some people say that they have good memories, what they really mean is that they keep their memories by using them often. When other people believe that their memories are poor, it really means they do not give them enough opportunities to make them strong.‎ ‎ If some friends are sure that their arms and legs are weak, we judge that it is their own fault. But if they tell us that they have poor memories, many of us consider that their parents are to blame, and few of us speak out that it is their own fault. ‎ Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have a good ability to recall memories? This is because they have to remember things, since they cannot read or write. Although they cannot write down important facts in their little notebooks, they have to keep such information as days, names, songs and stories by memorizing. They are exercising their memories quiet often.‎ In conclusion, if you want to have a good memory, it’s the only way that you should practice your memory by means of recalling things from time to time.‎ ‎23. What is the main reason why people have poor memories?‎ ‎ A. Their parents may have poor memories.‎ ‎ B. They do not use their arms or legs for some time.‎ ‎ C. Their memories are not often used.‎ ‎ D. They can’t read or write.‎ ‎24. If you do not use your arms or legs for some time ______.‎ ‎ A. you can’t use them any more ‎ B. they will become stronger ‎ C. they will become neither stronger nor weaker ‎ D. they become weak and won’t become strong until you use them again ‎25. Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Don’t learn how to read or write if you want to have a better memory.‎ ‎ B. Your memory works in the same way as your arms and legs.‎ ‎ C. A good memory comes from more practice.‎ ‎ D. Your memory becomes weak if you don’t give it enough chances for practice.‎ ‎26. Why do some people have better memories though they can’t read or write?‎ ‎ A. They have avoided many difficulties.‎ ‎ B. They have to use their memories all the time.‎ ‎ C. They have saved much time to remember things.‎ ‎ D. They can’t take down everything in their notebooks.‎ D Samuel Osmond is a 19-year-old law student from Cornwall‎, ‎England. He never studied the piano. However, he can play very difficult musical pieces by musicians such as Chopin and Beethoven just a few minutes after he hears them. He learns a piece of music by listening to it in parts. Then he thinks about the notes in his head. Two years ago, he played his first piece Moonlight Sonata (奏鸣曲) by Beethoven. He surprised everyone around him.‎ Amazed that he remembered this long and difficult piece of music and played it perfectly, his teachers say Samuel is unbelievable.

Samuel wanted to become a lawyer as it was the wish of his parents, but music teachers told him he should study music instead. Now, he studies law and music.‎ Samuel can’t understand why everyone is so surprised. “I grew up with music. My mother played the piano and my father played the guitar. About two years ago, I suddenly decided to start playing the piano, without being able to read music and without having any lessons. It comes easily to me-I hear the notes and can bear them in mind-each and every note,” says Samuel.‎ Recently, Samuel performed a piece during a special event at his college. The piece had more than a thousand notes. The audience was impressed by his amazing performance. He is now learning a piece which is so difficult that many professional pianists can’t play it. Samuel says confidently, “It’s all about super memory-I guess I ‎ have that gift.”‎ However, Samuel’s ability to remember things doesn’t stop with music. His family says that even when he was a young boy, Samuel heard someone read a story, and then he could retell the story word for word.‎ Samuel is still only a teenager. He doesn’t know what he wants to do in the future. For now, he is just happy to play beautiful music and continue his studies.‎ ‎27. What is special about Samuel Osmond?‎ A. He has a gift for writing music. B. He is a top student at the law school.‎ C. He can write down the note he hears D. He can play the musical piece he hears.‎ ‎28. Everyone around Samuel was surprised because he ______.‎ A. could play the piano without reading music B. could play the guitar better than his father C. received a good early education in music D. played the guitar and the piano perfectly ‎29. What can we infer about Samuel in Paragraph 4?‎ A. He became famous during a special event at his college.‎ B. He is proud of his ability to remember things accurately.‎ C. He plays the piano better than many professional pianists.‎ D. He impressed the audience by playing all the musical pieces.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?‎ A. The qualities of a musician B. The story of a musical talent（天才）‎ C. The importance of early education ‎ D.
