Everybody knows that colors are connected with certain feelings. For example, why do some people paint the walls of their rooms yellow and others pink? The same is true in stores. They want us to feel something when we look at their products. Green, for example, tries to show the quality of a product: how good it is for us or for our environment. It also suggests that the product is healthier, has less fat and maybe fewer calories. Red, on the other hand is an aggressive color that is often used for packaging food. Red wants us to become hungry or thirsty. Purple is a kind of color that is often seen as royal. It indicates that it is something special. Producers use purple to show that something is of good quality. Blue is not very often found in food packaging because there are not very many foods that have a blue color. Colors can also have different meaning in different cultures and countries. For example, while the color white is used in many Western countries to represent purity and innocence, it is seen as a symbol of mourning in many Eastern countries. The Egyptian pharaohs(法老) wore white crowns. A white sale is a sale of sheets, towels, and other bed and bath items. A white flag is the universal symbol for truce(休战). A white elephant is a rare, pale elephant sacred(神圣的) to the people of India, Thailand, Burma, and Sri Lanka. In these countries, something that is a white elephant is either a possession that costs more than it is worth to keep or an item that the owner doesn’t want but can’t get rid of. Consumers are aware that certain foods must have certain colors. When Pepsi brought out a crystal clear cola in 1992, it thought that consumers would buy it because clear meant pure and healthy. After a few months Pepsi found out that a cola had to be dark-colored. Crystal Pepsi failed and the company pulled it off the market. Advertising professionals often need to look at a product through the consumers’ eyes when choosing a color. The right packaging colors can truly improve the sales of a product but choosing a wrong color could end in failure. 1.According to the passage, blue is rarely used in food packaging because ____. A. most consumers dislike it B. it matches very few foods C. it brings people low spirits D. it doesn’t catch people’s eyes 2.According to the passage, in India if something is expensive but useless, it can be called ____. A. a white flag B. a white elephant C. a white sale D. a white crown 3.Pepsi’s example is used to show ____. A. Pepsi’s success comes from failures B. health is the main concern in drink making C. crystal clear drinks can’t attract consumers D. people have fixed ideas about products and colors 4.What would be the best title for the passage? A. Colors in advertising B. Colors in food packaging C. Our everyday life and colors D. Foods in different colors

Apologizing is both an Art and a Science. The Art lies in the manner in which the apology is delivered while the Science is the recipe that forms the apology itself. A proper apology should always include several ingredients. Now let’s take a closer look at these ingredients. Give a detailed account of the offense, and make sure both you and the other person are talking about the same thing. Whether you make it in secret or public doesn’t matter, but your apology should be focused on the particular event. Next, by acknowledging the hurt or damage done, you are making the recipient (接受者) begin to sense that you understand the situation. It is important to rebuild your relationship because it makes them feel their anger is understandable. Don’t try to defend yourself by offering any excuses, which is important to let them know that you understand the event and you actions do cause them harm. The apology is all about THEM and how they feel. It doesn’t matter if the actions were intentional or not, the end result is the same and that is what needs to be focused on when learning how to say, “I’m sorry”. Give a sincere statement of regret such as “I apologize” or “I’m sorry”. Above all, tell them it won’t happen again. After all, there is no value in apologizing for something that you will do again and again. Finally, asking for forgiveness at the end of the apology gives the power back to the recipient. It tells them, that you have done all that you can do by apologizing and providing whatever form of restitution(补偿)you can. The next move is up to them. By including all these ingredients and applying them to your situation, you will know exactly how to say “I’m sorry” next time you need to. 1.The passage mainly tells readers ____. A. the importance of apologizing B. the process of apologizing C. how to apologize effectively D. how to repair a broken friendship 2.How will the recipient react when you admit hurting them? A. They will be sorry for being angry with you. B. They will treat you differently right away. C. They will understand the situation better. D. They will think their former reaction normal. 3.When you make an apology, you should concentrate on ____. A. finding out better excuses B. taking responsibility for the event C. defending yourself from more harm D. understanding the current situation 4.What is the key to any apology? A. A sincere statement of regret. B. Giving the recipient more power. C. A promise that you won’t repeat your wrongdoings. D. Giving the recipient a detailed account of the event.

Putting in water fountains (饮水器) at schools, and teaching children about the health benefits of water, could reduce their risk of getting extra pounds, reports a new study that is published in the latest issue of the journal Pediatrics. The findings are based on a survey in 32 elementary schools of two German cities, Dortmund and Essen. The researchers, led by Rebecca Muckelbauer, a nutritionist(营养学家) at the Research Institute of Child Nutrition Dortmund, weighed about 3,000 children, and asked them about their beverage consumption(饮料消费量). At the beginning of the school year, the experts had water fountains added to 17 of the schools. The scientists also worked with teachers to carry out educational programs that promote the benefits of drinking water. In contrast to schools in the United States, there are very few schools in Germany that have water fountains. At the beginning of the study, there were no big differences in the number of overweight children in the different groups. But by the end of the school year, children in the schools with water fountains were 31 per cent less likely to gain extra pounds, compared to kids who went to other schools, where water drinking was not encouraged. Children in the schools with fountains increased their water consumption from about 3 up to 4 glasses a day, while those in the other schools continued to drink an average of 3 glasses. Over the research, the number of overweight kids upped from 384 to 385 out of 1,641 at the schools with water fountains. In comparison, the number of overweight kids at the other schools increased from 339 to 364 out of 1,309, Dr. Muckelbauer said. The experts cannot make any final conclusions and explain why the students who were encouraged to drink water were less likely to gain extra weight. Dr. Muckelbauer noted that according to a few other studies, drinking of water increases the rate at which calories are burned, while some other research suggested that water may temporarily decrease appetite (食欲). 1.What do we know about the survey from the passage? A. The teachers were also encouraged to drink water. B. The students surveyed were all overweight. C. It surveyed children in the countryside. D. It lasted for a whole school year. 2. What can be learned from the last paragraph? A. Drinking water certainly decreases appetite. B. Further research is needed to confirm the finding. C. The experts will encourage all the students to drink water. D. Why students drinking more get less pounds will be clear soon. 3. What would be the best title for the passage? A. Schools with water fountains B. Drink more water and become thinner C. Water fountains at schools help kids stay thin D. Water consumption at some German schools

Stop eating yourself stupid we all know that poor nutrition can lead to bad health and even weight gain. Now add “lack of intelligence” to the growing list. A recent study has found that what you eat could very likely play a role in how smart you are. According to the study, rats fed a high-fat diet for 10 days showed signs of weakness and even had trouble finding food that was waiting for them. 1. Actually a high-fat diet could weaken our intelligence--but so can a low-calorie diet. The trick appears to lie in finding a nice balance. Here are ways to achieve that happy balance and make you smarter through diet, exercise and improving your brain power. Figure out how many calories you need to maintain your weight. __2.__ If you need to drop a few pounds, take away the number you get by 400 calories; consume that number of calories each day until you drop the weight. __3.__Aim for healthy foods that include good amounts of protein, fiber, fruits and vegetables, healthy whole grains, healthy fats and plenty of water. Well! Remember: All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Read a book. Try a new recipe. Do some puzzles. __4.__ Exercise regularly with a positive attitude. Aim for at least three 30-minute training sessions a week(but more is better). I like simple exercise such as walking, but anything that raises the heart rate is good. _5._ Combine them! Some people like to listen to classical music such as Bach or Mozart, but rock music lovers will be happy to learn that this kind of music can help make them smarter as well. A．You may be fond of music, too. B．Your health depends on your exercise plan. C．Aim to get this number of calories each day. D．Don’t forget to exercise your mind while doing so. E．You may be wondering what this has to do with us. F．These are all good ways to help increase your intelligence. G．Eat the right foods in addition to getting the right number of calories.

Dressing in all pink from head to toe, he was singing a song which was sounded like a kid’s song. I thought he must be total crazy. Just then, a lady dropped 20-dollar bill on the ground, but he didn’t realize it and started to walk away. The guy in pink picked out the money and gave it back to her. After that, he rode on but soon disappeared before the lady could thank him. How a strange and good guy!.
