the following to be accurate.black is the colour of authority and power. it is popular in fashion because it makes people appear thinner. black also implies (意味) submission (屈服). priests wear black to signify submission to god. black outfits can also make the wearer seem aloof (冷淡的) or evil. villains, such as dracula, often wear black.brides wear white to symbolize innocence and purity. white reflects light, considered a summer colour. white is popular in decorating and in fashion because it is light, neutral (中間色的), and goes with everything. however, white is more difficult to keep clean than other colours. the most emotionally intense colour, red, stimulates (促使) a faster heartbeat and breathing. red is often used in restaurant decorating schemes because it is an appetite stimulant. however, since it is an extreme colour, red clothing might not help people in negotiations or confrontations. red cars are popular targets for thieves. blue is the colour of the sky and the ocean. compared with red, it causes the opposite reaction. peaceful blue, often used in bedrooms, causes the body to produce calming chemicals. people are more productive in blue rooms. studies show weightlifters are able to handle heavier weights in blue gyms. in spite of that, it is one of the least appetizing colours and can also be cold and depressing.currently the most popular decorating colour, green, symbolizes nature. it is a calming, refreshing colour. people waiting to appear on tv sit in “green rooms” to relax. hospitals often use green because it relaxes patients. however, seamstresses (女裁縫) often refuse to use green thread on the eve of a fashion show for fear it will bring bad luck.cheerful sunny yellow is an attention getter. while it is considered an optimistic colour, people lose their temper more often in yellow rooms, and babies will cry more. it is the most difficult colour for the eyes to take in, so it can be overpowering if overused. 44. a cook can choose the following colours to dress dishes for his customers except _.a. yellowb. redc. blued. orange45. which of the following statements is true according to the passage?a. black can make people thinner so it is welcomed by the fat.b. some colours are described as disadvantageous alone.c. patients are often dressed in green to stay relaxed.d. in contrast with blue, red can make people feel warm and cheerful.46. what would be the best title for the passage?a. colour of clothingb. colour psychologyc. colour and decoration d. colour and occupationdearlier this year, my oldest daughter got braces (矯正器) on her teeth, and lets just say she did not go quietly into that dentists chair. fear and hate pretty muchdescribe the days leading up to her first appointment.so when she finally walked out with shiny teeth, a sore (疼痛的) mouth and a broken spirit, i told her i was proud of her and took her to ben & jerrys for an ice cream reward. two weeks later, we returned to the scene of the crime. the dentist spent about 45 seconds checking her teeth before sending her on her merry way. before i could start the car, she was placing her ice cream order. she was shocked when i told her that she wasnt going to get a reward every time we get her teeth checked.clearly, shes not alone. according to some parenting experts, kids are easily addicted to a benefit-producing system of parental rewards and bribes (賄賂) its not all ice creams, candies and cool toys. some parents are offering their children prizes to just let them sit down and behave in a restaurant or sleep in their own beds or score a goal in the next soccer game.while the experts agree that occasional awards are okay, the danger lies in the systems overuse. kids quickly gain a sense of entitlement (應(yīng)得的權(quán)利), where they come to expect a big reward for every good thing that they do, no matter how small. to keep things in check, experts say parents should reduce the number of rewards they offer, make sure rewards match the behavior and explain the real benefits of behaving for the sake of behaving.have you used bribery or a reward system with your kids? was it successful? do your kids expect more because of that system?47. the intended readers of the passage are _.a. children b. parentsc. doctorsd. teachers48. what does the author mean by saying “the scene of the crime”?a. he / she doubted whether the dentist was skilled.b. he / she felt very sorry for his / her daughters illness. c. his / her daughter had a bad feeling for the dentists.d. his / her daughter suffered a lot from her illness.49. similar to the authors daughter, children _.a. are often troubled by bad teethb. receive certain rewards when becoming illc. are afraid to visit a dentistd. expect more rewards from their parents50. misguided by the parental reward system, children easily think _.a. they should benefit from their every desired behaviorb. they can be successful as long as they work hardc. their parents must be far more rich than othersd. their parents will feel happy when they behave welle robert rosenthal and lenore jacobson report and discuss the pygmalion effect in great detail. in their study, they showed that if teachers were led to expect improved performance from some children, then the children did indeed show that improvement. in some cases such im-provement was about twice that shown by other children in the same class. the purpose of the experiment was to support the hypothesis （假設(shè)） that reality can be influenced by the expectations of others. this influence can be beneficial as well as detrimental depending on which label （稱謂） an individual is assigned. the observer-expectancy effect, which involves an experimenters unconsciously biased expectations, is tested in real life situations. rosenthal suggested that biased expectancies can essentially affect reality and create self-fulfilling predictions as a result. in this experiment, rosenthal predicted that, when given the information that certain students are brighter than others, elementary school teachers may unconsciously behave in ways that encourage the students success. the previous research that motivated this study was done in 1911 by psychologists regarding the case of clever hans, a horse that gained notoriety because it was supposed to be able to read, spell and solve math problems by using its hoof to answer questions. many skeptics suggested that questioners and observers were unintentionally signaling clever hans. although not of central importance here, of huge importance in educational research in general is the issue of teacher effects. tim oshea has said that in all studies where one of the variables was the teacher, the effect of different teachers was always bigger than the effect of different treatments (usually the actual subject to be studied). basically, teachers have a huge effect, but its poorly understood.51. what does the passage mainly talk about?a. the pygmalion effect will be widely used in teaching.b. teachers should give students more encouragement.c. students should try to be more confident.d. the pygmalion effect has a great impact on a students progress.52. the underlined word “detrimental” in paragraph 2 means “_”.a. riskyb. harmful c. essential d. frightening53. what did robert rosenthal and lenore jacobsons experiment conclude?a. when students were expected to improve their performance by teachers, they would show that improvement as a result.b. clever hans was able to read, spell and solve math problems by using its hoof to answer questions.c. parents were not of central importance in education, but teachers were.d. the effect of different teachers was sometimes bigger than the effect of different subjects.54. the underlined sentence in the last paragraph me
