Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist（悲观者）. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colors preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. ___72___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. ___73___A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.___74___ A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area ---until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue. ___75___It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours. G. Colors do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it .

C Two farmers in northeast China Heilongjiang Province have been sentenced to nine and five years in jail because of eating a tiger, the local court said on Tuesday. Zhang Licheng and Gong Weisheng, both farmers in Dongning County, were put into prison for the crime of illegally hunting and killing endangered wild animal species, according to the People’s Court of Dongning County. The Siberian tiger, mistakenly trapped but intentionally（故意的）eaten by the farmers, was an endangered animal which is under the first-class state protection in the country. The farmers, living in a village very close to forests, used to trap wild animals like roe deer and hares when the dying tiger unfortunately caught in their trap in February 2003. Knowing that tiger trade was illegal, Zhang and Gong, however, thought eating a dead tiger’s meat was not breaking the law. They decided to cover it up and therefore did not report to the relevant authorities, the court said. Six days later they secrectly carried home the tiger that had died of hunger as they had expected.The two farmers burnt the tiger’s skin, ate its meat and hid away the bones, according to the court. The crime was uncovered and reported to the police about a year later and the transgressors（违反者）were arrested on Jan.16, 2004. 64.When the two farmers found the tiger trapped, they ______________. A.wanted to kill it for its skin B.were pleased to have the chance to eat its meat C.hoped to sell it at good price D.reported the case to some departments of the government 65.After reading the passage, we know that ___________.

B A powerful earthquake measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale shook Haiti on Tuesday, causing several buildings to collapse in the Western hemisphere's poorest nation and leading to an unknown number of fatalities（死亡）, officials and witnesses said. The earthquake was centered just 10 miles southwest of the crowded and impoverished（贫困的）capital of Port-au-Prince（太子港）.Making matters worse, the earthquake was relatively shallow, at a depth of five miles, the U.S. Geological Survey said Shallow earthquakes can cause more damage. “I think it's really a huge catastrophe,” Haiti's ambassador to the U.S., Raymond Alcide Joseph, told Cable News Network. An Associated Press（美联社）videographer saw the ruins of a hospital in Petionville, near Port-au-Prince. Reuters（路透社）news agency said several buildings had crumbled in the capital and that there were dead and injured trapped in the rubble. At least 1.8 million people live within the area where the earthquake had its highest intensity, John Bellini, a geophysicist at the USGS, told The Wall Street Journal. “With a strong and shallow earthquake like this in such a populated area, it could really cause substantial damage.” he said. “The quake was the most powerful to hit Haiti since at least 1770. This isn't normally an earthquake-prone（地震频发）area.” Mr. Bellini added. Within minutes of the original quake, two aftershocks rolled through the area, measuring 5.9 and 5.5 on the Richter scale. 60. The main purpose of this passage is to ________. A. tell people some disasters are very dangerous. B. introduce some common sense of natural disasters. C. appeal to readers for help, love and support. D. present some information of Haiti’s earthquake this year. 61.What can we learn from John Bellini’s words? A. The earthquake which took place in Port-au-Prince was strong and shallow. B. Thanks to the shallow earthquake, it did little damage to Port-au-Prince. C. Earthquakes occur frequently in the area of Port-au-Prince,capital of Haiti. D. At least 1770 people lost their lives in the earthquake. 62. The underlined word catastrophe is closest in meaning to __________. A. problem B. disaster C. phenomenon D. news 63. How many earthquakes of Haiti are mentioned in this article? A. None. B. One C. Two. D. At least three.
