What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow,orange,or red? 1.    .Do you prefer grays    and blues?Then you are probably quiet,shy,and you would rather follow than lead.You tend to be a pessimist.At least,this is what psychologists tell us,and they should know,because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference,as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.2.    .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.

3.    .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.4.    .A black    bridge over the Thames River,near London,used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀)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.

Matthew Henson-Arctic Explorer

In 1880,fourteen-year-old Matthew Henson loved to hear sailors tell tales of their exciting 1ives at sea.The travel,the adventure,the danger,and the steady pay were all attracting young Henson.One day,he found a job as a cabin boy off a beautiful ship called the Katie Hinds.For the next five years.Henson sailed around the world.With the help of the ship’s captain and other members of the crew.Henson learned mathematics,navigation,history,geography,and many other subjects.By the time he left the Katie Hinds in 1885,Henson was well educated and had become an excellent seaman.

Unable to find work anywhere else,Henson took a job in a hat shop in Washington,D.C.One day in 1887,a man came in to buy a hat.The man,Robert Peary,asked the owner if he knew anyone with experience at sea.Peary would soon travel to South America for the U.S.government.He needed experienced men to accompany him.The shop owner knew about his young employee’s skills and experience on ocean journeys,so he introduced Peary to Henson.

Using his map-reading and sailing skills,Henson proved himself to be a worthy and smart seaman.Peary soon made Henson his assistant,and they became close friends.One day Peary told Henson about his real dream:to be the first man to stand on“the top of the world"at the North Pole.He asked Henson to help him make his dream come true.Over the next five years,the two explorers made two trips together to the Arctic.However,they were not able to reach the pole either time.The cold,wind,and ice were worse than either of them had ever imagined.

In 1908,Peary and Henson were ready to make their final attempt at reaching the North Pole.Both men were over forty years old.The years of hardship in the arctic cold had made them suffer a lot.This would be their last chance.With four Inuit guides,they made a mad rush straight across the ice toward the po1e.Peary’s feet were injured and he had to be pulled on a dogsled.In April 1909.Henson’s instruments showed they were standing at the North Pole.Together Henson and Peary planted the American flag in the snow.

In later years,Robert Peary and Henson were greatly honored for their achievements.Today,the two friends and fellow explorers lie in heroes’ graves not far apart in the Arlington National Cemetery.

It was such an extremely freezing day that I decided to get a cup of hot drinking first after    work.As my colleague,Ricky,and I were making our way to a coffee shop,I noticed an old    gentleman rather poorly dressed sitting on a bench nearby.Obviously he was frozen,seemingly one of the homeless or someone like that.

We joined the 1ine and waited to be served.Ricky handed the server a twenty-dollar bill,    ordered three cups of hot coffee,and gestured the server to give one to the old gentleman outside on the bench as a favour.The server looked at Ricky,a little perplexed,without full comprehension of the request.Afterwards,there was a wonderful exchange between the server and the old man in need of some attention.I only wish I had taken a photo of the smiles on the both faces.

As I was thinking about this event later on,I wondered to myself why Ricky didn’t perform this act of kindness himself.I suspected that deep down in his heart he was hoping that this act of kindness might inspire others to do something for this old man as well.Absolutely beautiful!

There are many ways of thinking when we meet someone as the old man in need of kindness and attention.Perhaps he needs a little helping hand and thank God for my colleague who inspired the others to goodness as well.Oh,by the way,the last words Ricky told the server were,“There go I,but for the Grace of God.”

1.What was the author’s impression of the old gentleman?

A.He was a greedy man.

B.He took on a sign of poor manners.

C.He was in poor health.

D.He needed some kind of human care.

2.Why didn't Ricky give the favour to the old gentleman himself?

A.He didn’t know the old gentleman.

B.He was too shy to speak to strangers.

C.He tried to influence others to be kind.

D.He feared the old man would refuse his help.

3.What the author really thinks absolutely beautiful is that_________.

A.an act of kindness could go widespread

B.a cup of coffee could warm the old man

C.the server was very kind to customers

D.Ricky had created good impressions

They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon;on foot,on mules(骡子)or  by air.We chose the first.Waking up early,my husband and I and our three children couldn’t wait to get started.We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.

As we set out,I was shocked at how narrow the path was.And I couldn’t help noticing that the other tourists weren’t like us.They had heavy backpacks,water bottles,and hats.But as usual we were dressed.As the sun rose higher.Arizona’s famous heat seemed to roast us.There was no shade and our legs were aching.We decided to go back,with the girl on my back and the boys far behind.By the time we finally got back,our legs were like jelly

The next day,after we’d had a long rest and a good breakfast,we were ready for another view of the Canyon—by air.After our last walk,this would be the easiest thing in the world.

We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon.But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed(翻转)the plane around,pretending he was going to hit the ground.I shouted,“STOP,TAKE US BACK!”When we finally arrived back on land,once again our legs were like jelly.We hardly spoke as we drove back.

As I said,there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon.We never tried the mules,but  personally I'd suggest a fourth buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic.That way,you can see the Canyon,without fear or tiredness.

1.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?

A.They made a careful preparation before the trip.

B.They children were more joyful than their parents.

C.Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.

D.The narrow road prevented them from enjoying the view.

2.The underlined expression“Our legs were like jelly”probably means_________.

A.we were weak          B.we were unhappy

C.we were dissatisfied  D.we were disappointed

3.Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?

A.It proved to be frightening.   B.It was more comfortable.

C.It turned out to be exciting.  D.It made each of them tired.

4.We can infer from the passage that_________.

A.experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way

B.one needs to dress less when visiting the Grand Canyon

C.the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion

D.the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident
