Have you ever done something that made you embarrassed(尴尬的) No one likes this feeling, but learning to deal with embarrassment can make you feel more confident.
What does embarrassment feel like
Embarrassment makes you laugh, cry and want to hide under your bed forever. Falling over in a shop or accidentally calling your teacher “Mum” might feel like the end of the world. But everyone gets embarrassed sometimes. We all react(反应) differently, and what feels embarrassed and uncomfortable to one person might be easily laughed off by another. Childline, a charity that supports young people, says, “Whatever you’re feeling embarrassed about, remember that it’s natural to feel this way.”
Why do we feel embarrassed
Scientists believe embarrassment is a way of teaching us not to repeat mistakes. You’re more likely to feel embarrassed when you worry too much about what other people think of you. Even if you think everyone saw you with strawberry jam on your face, studies show that fewer people notice than you think.
How do we deal with embarrassment
If something isn’t very serious, try making a joke out of it. “Laughter can show people (and yourself) that it isn’t something to worry about.” Childline says. If you are feeling embarrassed, other people may not have even noticed, so try acting like it’s no big deal or take no notice of what happened. Sometimes we’re embarrassed about the way we’ve behaved towards others. In that case, try saying how sorry you are and that you regret what happened. “Telling someone can be a first step in moving on,” says Childline.
1. Why is it important to learn to deal with embarrassment according to this passage
A. It makes you happy. B. It improves your study.
C. It helps you sleep well. D. It makes you more confident.
2. You may get embarrassed when you ________.
A. hide yourself under your bed B. run off a shoe at a sports meeting
C. fall over in your bedroom D. get some advice from Childline
3. Which of the following is a good way to deal with embarrassment
a. Try forgetting something awful that just happened.
b. Say you are not sorry for copying Chinese homework.
c. Try making a joke and let the embarrassment go quickly.
d. Try acting like it’s not a big deal and cry loudly at home.
e. Talk with a good friend when you greet someone by mistake.
A. a, b and c B. b, c and d
C. c, d and e D. a, c and e
4. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage
A. To explain what embarrassment is.
B. To suggest how we deal with embarrassment.
C. To show how people feel about embarrassment.
D. To tell us what scientists think of embarrassment.
六、阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。
Today, if we talk about a color, we only need to use a simple name. For example, “blue” in Chinese is lan. But in ancient China, there were many beautiful names for blue, such as yuebai, qielan and shiqing.
Similar to the color wheel developed by Isaac Newton, ancient Chinese people created colors using the idea of pure (纯) colors and mixed colors. There were five pure colors, including qing (blue), chi (red), yellow, white and black. These basic colors can be put together to produce mixed colors. For example, mixing yellow and blue could make green. Lots of colors came into being thanks to this.
As for naming, ancient Chinese people paid much attention to the imagination that colors bring. For example, dongfang jibai is a light blue color. The blue color describes what the sky looks like early in the morning. Similarly, the pink color taoyao is used to describe blossoming (开花的) peach trees. The purple color mushanzi describes a sunset covering the mountain.
Meanwhile, a color was not just a color, but a symbol of social status (地位) in ancient China. For example, yellow was long seen as the symbol of power. Only the leader of the country and his family could use it. During the Tang Dynasty, officials needed to wear clothes with certain colors. Only officials of the top three grades were allowed to wear purple clothes, while those of the fourth and fifth wore red clothes, the sixth and seventh officials wore green clothes. Blue was for those in the two lowest grades.
The colors that the ancients left us can be seen in society today. Nowadays, some TV programs present traditional Chinese colors in clothes and buildings, which excite (引起) people’s interest in ancient colors.
1．What other names did blue have in ancient China besides lan
2．How did people create the color green by using the pure colors
3．What does the color mushanzi describe
4．Who could wear the color purple in ancient China
5．Why do some TV programs present traditional Chinese colors in clothes and buildings
七、语法填空

五阅读理解。
Have you ever done something that made you embarrassed(尴尬的) No one likes this feeling, but learning to deal with embarrassment can make you feel more confident.
What does embarrassment feel like
Embarrassment makes you laugh, cry and want to hide under your bed forever. Falling over in a shop or accidentally calling your teacher “Mum” might feel like the end of the world. But everyone gets embarrassed sometimes. We all react(反应) differently, and what feels embarrassed and uncomfortable to one person might be easily laughed off by another. Childline, a charity that supports young people, says, “Whatever you’re feeling embarrassed about, remember that it’s natural to feel this way.”
Why do we feel embarrassed
Scientists believe embarrassment is a way of teaching us not to repeat mistakes. You’re more likely to feel embarrassed when you worry too much about what other people think of you. Even if you think everyone saw you with strawberry jam on your face, studies show that fewer people notice than you think.
How do we deal with embarrassment
If something isn’t very serious, try making a joke out of it. “Laughter can show people (and yourself) that it isn’t something to worry about.” Childline says. If you are feeling embarrassed, other people may not have even noticed, so try acting like it’s no big deal or take no notice of what happened. Sometimes we’re embarrassed about the way we’ve behaved towards others. In that case, try saying how sorry you are and that you regret what happened. “Telling someone can be a first step in moving on,” says Childline.
1. Why is it important to learn to deal with embarrassment according to this passage
A. It makes you happy. B. It improves your study.
C. It helps you sleep well. D. It makes you more confident.

A. hide yourself under your bed B. run off a shoe at a sports meeting
C. fall over in your bedroom D. get some advice from Childline
3. Which of the following is a good way to deal with embarrassment
a. Try forgetting something awful that just happened.
b. Say you are not sorry for copying Chinese homework.
c. Try making a joke and let the embarrassment go quickly.
d. Try acting like it’s not a big deal and cry loudly at home.
e. Talk with a good friend when you greet someone by mistake.
A. a, b and c B. b, c and d
C. c, d and e D. a, c and e
4. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage

六、阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。
Today, if we talk about a color, we only need to use a simple name. For example, “blue” in Chinese is lan. But in ancient China, there were many beautiful names for blue, such as yuebai, qielan and shiqing.
Similar to the color wheel developed by Isaac Newton, ancient Chinese people created colors using the idea of pure (纯) colors and mixed colors. There were five pure colors, including qing (blue), chi (red), yellow, white and black. These basic colors can be put together to produce mixed colors. For example, mixing yellow and blue could make green. Lots of colors came into being thanks to this.
As for naming, ancient Chinese people paid much attention to the imagination that colors bring. For example, dongfang jibai is a light blue color. The blue color describes what the sky looks like early in the morning. Similarly, the pink color taoyao is used to describe blossoming (开花的) peach trees. The purple color mushanzi describes a sunset covering the mountain.
Meanwhile, a color was not just a color, but a symbol of social status (地位) in ancient China. For example, yellow was long seen as the symbol of power. Only the leader of the country and his family could use it. During the Tang Dynasty, officials needed to wear clothes with certain colors. Only officials of the top three grades were allowed to wear purple clothes, while those of the fourth and fifth wore red clothes, the sixth and seventh officials wore green clothes. Blue was for those in the two lowest grades.
The colors that the ancients left us can be seen in society today. Nowadays, some TV programs present traditional Chinese colors in clothes and buildings, which excite (引起) people’s interest in ancient colors.
