阅读理解     What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an
optimist(乐观者), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. 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(爱好), 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 rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing(压抑).
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.1. 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 clearly2. 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. psychologists have been studying the meaning of color preference
D. one"s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings3. The writer believes that in realizing the four modernizations of country, we need more
     people who love           .
A. yellow
B. red
C. green
D. black

    We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee.When
it was introduced,most people did not like it as well as "regular" coffee and it took several years to gain
general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point,though,instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity
and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth)．. After a while people became attached to
one brand,sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline (衰退) when freeze
dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).
     The importance of the product life cycle to marketers is this:Different stages in the product life cycle
call for different strategies.The goal is to extend product life so that sales and profits do not decline.One
strategy is called market modification.It means that marketing managers look for new users and market
sections.Did you know,for example,that the backpacks that so many students carry today were originally
designed for the military?
    Market modification also means searching for increased usage among present customers or going for
a different market,such as senior citizens.A marketer may re－position the product to appeal to new

market sections.
Another product extension strategy is called product modification.It involves changing product quality,
features,or style to attract new users or more usage from present users.American auto manufacturers are
using quality improvement as one way to recapture (夺回) world markets.Note,also,how auto
manufacturers once changed styles dramatically from year to year to keep demand from falling.

1. According to the passage,when people grow fond of one particular brand of a product,its
sales will________.A. decrease gradually
B. become unstable
C. improve enormously
D. remain at the same level2. The first paragraph tells us that a new product is________.A. usually introduced to satisfy different tastes
B. often more expensive than old ones
C. often inferior to old ones at first
D. not easily accepted by the public3. Marketers need to know which of the four stages a product is in so as to________.A. work out marketing policies
B. promote its production
C. increase its popularity
D. speed up its life cycle4. The author mentions the example of "backpacks" (Line7,Para.2) to show the importance of _____.A. increasing usage among students
B. pleasing the young as well as the old
C. exploring new market sections
D. serving both military and civil needs5. In order to recover their share of the world market,US auto makers are________.A. improving product quality
B. re－positioning their product in the market

     I once thought that outer beauty is the only factor to become a greatperson.When I was young,
I read many kinds of books,  most of which described characters who are handsome or beautiful.So
I think that being beautiful is the only way to become a success.
     As I grew up,  the story of my best friend made me realize that outer beauty was not so important
to make a person successful.She was so beautiful a girl that every classmate liked to chat with her,
but she was very arrogant.In her opinion,  she could get all she wanted because of her beauty,  but all
of her friends left her one by one!Only then did she come to know the importance of the beauty in a
person"s heart,  which c hanged her attitude and she made friends again.
     Turning on TV,  we can see many advertisements,  most of which seem to give us a feeling that
physical attractiveness is the most important thing.There_seems_to_be_a_boom_in_plastic_surgery.It
is surprising that more and more people,  especially girls and women,  try it like the first man－made
beauty in China,  Hao Lulu.It is a common sense that attractive people can easily find work.Most good
looking guys usually get higher scores in the job interviews.But,  what is real beauty? I want to say that
is inner beauty because those who have beauty in their soul are really beautiful persons.
     As is known,  the beauty judged with eyes is temporary,  so we should concentrate on inner beauty.
And if we make the efforts to make our minds beautiful,  we"ll live a happier life.

1. Why did the author want to have a good appearance when she was young?

B. Because she wanted to get higher scores in the job interviews.
C. Because she wanted to follow her friend"s example mentioned in the passage.
D. Because the successful characters in the books she read were attractive.

2. Why did the writer quote her friend"s story?

A. To show how important outer beauty is.
B. To show how terrible to be a beautiful girl.
C. To prove that outer beauty is temporary, which is not the key factor to become a great person.
D. To show how beautiful her friend was.

3. What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph mean?

A. A large number of people pay attention to outer beauty.
B. Surgery is becoming more and more popular.
C. The price of doing plastic surgery is becoming lower and lower, making more
and more persons afford it.
D. The living standard has been improved over the past years.

4. Which of the following covers the passage best?

A. How do attractive persons become successful?
B. Plastic surgery is the best way to make a person become more beautiful and successful.
C. The key factor to find a good job is being attractive.
D. Inner beauty is the real beauty.

5. What do we know from the passage?

A. If you are too beautiful,  all your friends will leave you out of envy.
B. If you have a good appearance,  you must get higher scores in the job interviews.
C. Without the TV advertisements,  there wouldn"t have been a boom in plastic surgery.
D. Those who have good appearances should also develop the beauty in their hearts.

History is full of cases where dreams have been a pathway to creativity and discovery.A striking example is provided by Dr.Otto Loewi, a pharmacologist and winner of a Nobel Prize.Loewi had spent years studying the chemical transmission of nerve impulses (脉搏). A tremendous breakthrough in his research came when he dreamed of an experiment three nights in a row.The first two nights he woke up and wrote down the experiment quickly and untidily on a pad.But the next morning, he couldn"t tell what the notes meant.On the third night, he got up after having the dream.This time, instead of making notes he went straight to his laboratory and performed the crucial experiment.Loewi later said that if the experiment had occurred to him while awake he would have rejected it. Loewi"s experiment gives some insight into using dreams to produce creative solutions.Inhibitions (拘谨) are reduced during dreaming, which may be especially useful in solving problems that require a fresh point of view. Being able to take advantage of dreams for problem solving is improved if you "set" yourself before retiring.Before you go to bed, try to think intently about a problem you wish to solve.Steep yourself in (潜心于) the problem by stating it clearly and reviewing all relevant information.Then use the suggestions listed in the previous section to catch your dreams.Although this method is not guaranteed to produce a novel solution or a new insight, it is certain to be an adventure.About half of a group of college students using the method for a week recalled a dream that helped them solve a personal problem.
1. The main idea of this passage is that________.
A. very little is really known about the meaning of dreams B. it is possible to "catch" one"s dreams by planning before going to sleep C. dreams can be useful in producing creative solutions to one"s problems D. Loewi"s experiment helped in the study of transmission of nerve impulses
2. The first paragraph is mainly organized by________.
A. classifying types of experiments B. summarizing the work of one researcher C. comparing and exploring historical cases D. telling in time order about one man"s researchf
3. If Loewi had thought of the experiment while awake, he would have________.
A. asked someone else to do it B. thought it was a bad idea C. tried it out on his own D. thought it was a wise idea
4. The author probably thinks that________.
A. Loewi should not have conducted his experiment B. dreaming is of very little value to most people C. inhibitions may stop someone thinking of useful ideas D. college students should not try out dream experiments
5. The author seems to be in favor of________according to the passage.
A. seeking creative solutions B. avoiding scientific experiments C. inhibitions before dreams D. becoming a famous scientist
