三、阅读理解(每小题2分,共30分)
A
After leaving school for many years, a group of graduates (毕业生) visited their teacher.
All of them complained about problems and stress in their work and life.
The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large bottle of coffee and many kinds of cups — china (瓷), plastic and glass. He told them to help themselves to the coffee.
When all the students had a cup of coffee in their hands, the teacher said, "If you noticed, all the nice-looking and expensive cups had been taken, but the simple and cheap ones had been left behind. Although it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source (根源)of your problems and stress. In fact, the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. It is just a tool to contain (容纳) what we drink."
What all of them really wanted was coffee, not the cups, but they all went for the best cups. And then they began to watch others’ cups. Life is the coffee; jobs, money and the social position are the cups. The cups we have do not change the quality of our life.
Sometimes, if we only pay attention to the cup, we will fail to enjoy the coffee.
The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.

23.The teacher provided his students with many kinds of cups because .
A. he wanted his students to enjoy the coffee
B. he hoped that they could have better cups
C. he tried to tell the students how to understand life

As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed the golden arches(拱形门) of McDonald’s, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.
You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being "a bit green". To describe a depressed(沮丧的) person, you say that the person is "feeling blue". In short, colors do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colors can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red Since yellow is the most eye-catching color, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the color which usually shows warning; as a result, some traffic signs use this color. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.
The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetite(胃口).This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colors,is said to lower people’s appetite because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!
"Morning, Amber! What happened You look a bit green," said Violet, Amber’s best friend.
"Nothing...just feeling...blue," said Amber.
"Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought A wii! It’s red-hot(最新的)."
Amber was tickled pink(高兴极了) to have the chance to play with the wii and said, "Sounds great!"
26.According to the passage, if you are on a diet, might help.
A. putting your food in a blue dish or bowl
B. turning on a yellow light during the meal
C. painting the walls of the dining room white
D. covering the dining table with an orange cloth
27.Most school buses are painted yellow because .
A. it tells other drivers to prepare to stop
B. it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood
C. it can easily catch other people’s attention
D. it is the color that most school children like
28.Which of the following statements is true
A. Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first.
B. Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning.
C. Amber refused to go to Violet’s house in the end.
D. Amber didn’t catch the school bus and was late for school.
29. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. Colors influence people’s daily lives.
B. Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.
C. Different colors are used for different purposes.
D. Colors make daily conversations more interesting.

A. Amber was not fat at all.
B. Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.
C. Violet didn’t know how colors influenced our lives.
D. Arches of McDonald’s are painted gold only to make them beautiful.

Keep a "Happy Moments" journal where you record your best memories, successes, achievements, and the moments you felt great. When you feel down, read them and remember how great you were.
Go for a 15-minute run, then take a nice shower, and pick out a new movie to watch!
Think of ice-cream, go out for a walk, see new things, feel how much you are lucky when compared with lots of humans.
Do something crazy. Dance in the dark. Scream as loud as you possibly can. Eat a big bowl of something you know you shouldn’t. Talk to the wall... and the sudden burst of energy can lift you up.
