Color therapy can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )used on the body in a number of ways to help you to calm down and relax. It can even help treat some illnesses. It first appeared in India thousands of years ago. This type of therapy used the seven colors of the rainbow to keep a balance in the mind and body.
Color therapy can be practiced in the following ways:
Color gazing: Looking ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at a blue light can make the blood pressure (血压) come down, while red light makes it go up.
People feel good in th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )emselves by wearing their favorite colors. These colors have a good effect on their moods. The use of pleasant colors in daily life also has a good effect.

(B)
People often say th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the Englishman’s home is his castle (城堡).They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes.This means that they can make them individual (个体的); they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved.The house and the garden are the private(私人的)space of the individual.
People usually li ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ke to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train have you marked the space around yourself as yours If you are on the train, you may put your coat or a small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat, you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was trave ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man on the space take up (占据) my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table. I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this, he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped(瞪出)out of his head. I had invaded(侵犯)his space! A few minutes later, I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course,it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) another country, you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long ,you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about . And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler! But if you understand it, then it helps you. Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space
( ) 36. The writ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )er was angry as he was traveling on a train to London because______.
A. he had no place to sit.
B.someone had invaded his “space”
C.too many people shared a section with him
D.some other people talked about things he didn’t know about

A.you are alone outside the house

D.create their private spaces by talking with local people
(C)
Living and d ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ealing (处理) with kids can be a hard job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even harder.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication(交流) is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate , you drift apart.When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve munication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and take no notice to anyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
If you looked up ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance (表达) of information, correspondence (通信), means of communication: a letter or a message”. To keep a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, and ask them politely to listen to you. Shouting or walking away only makes the situation worse.
Here is an exampl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, but when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let it go.
Communication is ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the key here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of munication isn’t a one-way matter: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel—listening is the key to communication.
( ) 40. In the w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )riter’s view, dealing with parents is __________ than with children.
A. more diff ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )icult B. much easier C. less interesting D. more interesting
( ) 41. The un ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )derlined phrase “ drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means __________.
A. keep up with others B.move along smoothly
C.distance yourself form others D. come closer to each other
( ) 42. The example in Paragraph 6 shows that ___________.
A. Sophie is very polite to her parents
B. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D. communication is the solution to misunderstanding
( ) 43. All the following statements are correct except “_______”.
A. Communication is a two-way matter
B. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
C.If you don’t agree ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )with others, you’d better let them know
D. When dealing with parents, you only need to listen to them

Eating habits are ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )different in different countries. The Chinese have a saying “Eat good things for breakfast, eat a big meal for lunch, but eat less at dinner.” Many Americans agree that one should start the day with a good breakfast, but their ideas about lunch and dinner are different.
Most America ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ns only give themselves a short time for lunch. So they eat a small lunch. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. Also a quiet dinner at home with all the family talking about their day is a way to take a good rest after a long, hard day of work.
Eating at re ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )staurants is also different. In China, people like to talk and laugh while eating. Very often you can hear people talking and laughing loudly, and they are just having a good time. In America it is not like this. They want a quiet place where they can eat a good meal far away from the noises of the outside world. If someone is talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant will look at him or her angrily. If some people are talking too loudly, the manager of the restaurant may come out and ask them to be quiet.
