Since Apple dropped its iPhone 17 on Sept 9, the “Cosmic Orange” color for the Pro model has turned heads. It is a move away from more common colors, such as white and black.
Colors are more than just visual effects (效果). According to the American Marketing Association, bright colors can make a product seem better, even if the color doesn’t actually change how the product works. This happens because the richness or purity of a color might make people more confident in the product.
Why is this According to an article from the University of Leeds, when light comes into our eyes, special cells (细胞) at the back of our eyes react to different colors and send signals (信号) to the brain. Most signals go to the visual cortex (视觉皮层), where we see pictures. But some are sent to another part of the brain called the hypothalamus (下丘脑). This part controls things in our body, such as temperature and mood.
So, this means colors can change how our bodies feel. For example, blue light can make our blood flow and heartbeat slow down. It can also lower our blood pressure and help us relax, according to the University of Derby in the UK. Orange, on the other hand, wakes up our senses, making it great for catching attention.
However, no color has been shown to increase sales more than others, said researchers at the University of Southern California in the US. Still, successful brands often use colors to create their images. For example, Coca-Cola uses red because it increases heart rate (心率) and improves appetite (食欲).
1．Which color makes products seem better according to the story
A．Brown. B．Black. C．Gray. D．Orange.
2．How do some colors improve how people feel about products
A．They react to special cells in our eyes. B．They excite more parts of the brain.
C．They make the brain produce more signals. D．They go directly to the brain’s visual cortex.
3．What effect does blue light have on people
A．It wakes up their senses. B．It increases heart rate.
C．It helps them relax. D．It makes them feel hungry.
4．Why does Coca-Cola use red as its brand color
A．To make people feel thirsty. B．To build a brand image.
C．To show product quality. D．To control the whole market.
5．What is the story mainly about
A．How the body reacts to different colors. B．How special colors become popular.
C．What new colors Apple used for its phones. D．Why bright colors are used for products.

March 2, 2024 Page 29 Secret of the best stone Do you love skipping stones (打水漂) across the water Then, you should know the best skipping stone is flat (平的), thin and small enough to hold in one hand.

Flat, calm water is best, like a lake or pool. 3. Turn the stone around quickly when you throw it. Don’t throw hard. Instead, try to throw the stone quickly. 4. Skip the stone at a proper angle (角度). The best angle to skip the stone is 20 degrees. * The best way to hold a stone: Hold the stone between your thumb and middle finger.

When you find math hard, you usually ask teachers or parents for help. But now, doctors can help you too!
On October 8, Shanghai opened a special clinic (门诊) for children who have problems with math and spatial (空间的) understanding. On that day, six students went there with their parents. At the clinic, doctors checked how well the students understood math and their spatial skills, and then made plans to help them learn better. They even had special educational games with VR and AR technologies to help students.
A recent study found that about 8.97 percent of children at primary school on the Chinese mainland (大陆) have trouble with math and spatial skills, reported Shanghai Daily. Among them, 11.57 percent are in lower grades, 10.07 percent are in middle grades and 4.76 percent are in upper grades.
The clinic is open every Tuesday. It’s very popular with its days getting fully booked. Special clinics for aiding in learning are becoming common in China, especially in big cities like Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, and Nanjing.
However, experts remind parents that these clinics may help students, but they can’t magically turn them into top students. It’s more important to have proper expectations (预期).
Shi Ping from Tianjin Children’s Hospital told China Daily that putting too much pressure on kids can sometimes make learning harder. Parents should think about how they teach their kids and consider making some changes.
After all, just as an expert said, “Doing well in school shouldn’t be the only thing that matters in a child’s life.”

Have you ever wondered if the colour of our bedroom can influence (影响) how well we sleep ▲ They say that colours can easily influence our moods (心情). So, what bedroom colours should we choose for a good sleep
People usually connect blue with calmness and relaxation, making it one of the best colours to paint our bedroom. Blue makes us think of calm things like the sea or the sky. It can even help make our heartbeats slower, which helps us relax.
Like blue, green can also be a good choice for a bedroom colour. It brings a touch of nature into our room. This relaxing colour can bring comfort, peace, hope, and happiness to people, making them feel like being outside in a quiet garden.
If you’re not interested in blue or green, don’t worry. A simple white room can also create a good sleep environment. It keeps the brain from getting too active, and gets us ready for sleep.
However, warm colours might be the opposite. Colours like red, orange, and yellow have long wavelengths (波长). These colours are very stimulating—they’re like a wake-up call for our brain, so we’d better avoid these colours.
The right bedroom colour is a helper for a good sleep. However, personal need is the most important. If you prefer a colour that’s not mentioned, that’s okay! After all, a bedroom should be a place where we feel relaxed and comfortable. So, when choosing a bedroom colour, think about your own feelings

Everyone has their own way of saying things. So does a nation.
For American people, there are many colors involved in their everyday expressions.
For example, red is a hot color. Americans often use it to describe heat (热度) and some strong feelings. They may say they are “red-hot” when they are very angry about something. Fast, exciting music is also described as “red-hot”, especially the kind of music called Dixieland Jazz.
Pink is slightly lighter than red. American people sometimes say they are “in the pink” when they are in good health. This expression first appeared in America at the beginning of the 20th century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with pink skin (皮肤), which is a symbol of the best health.
The color green is natural for trees and grass, but it is an unnatural color for humans. In America, a person, who has a sick-feeling stomach may say he or she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very ill from high waves (海浪) may look very green.
Blue can stand for sadness, so the traditional Blues music in the United States is just the opposite of the red-hot music.
The color black is connected with sadness too. It is often used to describe a day when everything goes wrong. People call such a day “a black day”.
These phrases about colors can help American people to express their ideas in creative ways and draw more of others’ attention.

①Big successes often come from small beginnings. Many people believe that to achieve great things, you must take big actions. However, research shows that tiny, daily habits are actually the key to long-term improvement. Repeating these small actions regularly can lead to amazing results over time.
②For example, imagine you want to improve your English vocabulary. Trying to memorize 50 new words in one day can be stressful and often leads to giving up. A more effective approach is to learn just five new words every day. This feels manageable. After one week, you will have learned 35 words. After a month, that number grows to 140. The adding-up effect of this small habit is significant.
③Why are small habits so powerful First, they are easy to start. There is very little resistance (阻力) or fear. Second, because they are small, it’s easy to be persistent. Persistence is what creates real change. Finally, each time you complete your small habit, you feel a sense of achievement. This positive feeling encourages you to continue.
④How can you build a good small habit Start by choosing a behavior that is so easy you can’t say no to it. If you want to read more, start with one page a night. If you want to exercise, start with five minutes of warm-up exercise. The goal is to make the habit easy to do without thinking. Over time, you can slowly increase the difficulty.
⑤In conclusion, never ignore (忽略) the power of small steps. By focusing on small, persistent improvements, you can build a path to big success in your studies, health, or personal life.

The oldest child syndrome (综合征), sometimes called the firstborn syndrome, is about how being the first child in a family can form a person’s character. Birth order has long been thought of as a main reason that influences (影响) how children grow and change.
Being the first child can sometimes be hard. “The oldest child syndrome is when the first child feels they must do well and be a good example for other children in the family,” says Nicholette Leanza, a therapist (治疗专家).
According to Brandy Smith, a psychologist, some common behaviors for the first child include:
·Having a strong sense of responsibility
·Feeling they must meet people’s expectations, mainly their parents’ expectations
·Often drawn to leadership-type roles
·Usually described as someone who follows rules and acts nicely
·Being a hard-working person who always tries his best to succeed
There are also some advantages of being the oldest child in the family. Studies have shown that firstborn children have an advantage when it comes to learning things around the age of four. Some studies show that firstborn children also have a small advantage when it comes to early reading and writing skills.
“Being the oldest child can also influence how a child grows in feelings and their understanding of who they are,” Leanza says. “For example, they might grow up quicker because they have more jobs to do at home or they might act more like parents because they have to look after their younger brothers and sisters.”
“These can make it hard for the oldest child to find their identity (身份) outside of their role in their family,” Leanza explains. “It’s important for kids to learn to be themselves. And they shouldn’t just see themselves as part of the family.”
51．What is the “oldest child syndrome” mainly about
A．How firstborn children are different from others.
B．Why firstborn children have more responsibility.
C．Why firstborn children are more successful.
D．How a person’s character is shaped by being the firstborn.
52．According to Brandy Smith, which sentence can usually describe “the oldest children”
A．They usually like to break rules.
B．They are trying to please their parents.
C．They have a hard time making decisions.
D．They pay attention to their personal interests.
53．What does the passage say about the advantages of being the oldest child
A．They are better at sports. B．They get better grades in school.
C．They are more popular at school. D．They learn things better at an early age
54．Why does Leanza say the oldest child might have trouble finding their identity
A．Because they are always told what to do.
B．Because they are always trying to be perfect.
C．Because they have many home responsibilities.
D．Because they are compared to other children
55．What’s the best title of the passage
A．Tips for firstborn children B．Being the oldest: good and bad
C．The firstborn child’s advantages D．Growing up fast: the firstborn child’s journey

Colors are here and there. People think different colors have different meanings. Here are four colors and their meanings in Chinese culture.
Green
In most cultures, green represents (代表) nature and is a calm color. However, in modern Chinese culture, green has a negative meaning. For example, when you say “His face looks green.”, it means he doesn’t look well.
Yellow
In ancient China, yellow represented power. Only the emperor could wear clothes of this color. Yellow was also considered as a natural color. The Yellow River, the second longest river in China, got its name from the yellowish soil (土) in it. Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. For example, when you ask people how their relationship is going, they might say “huang le”, which means they’ve broken up.
Red
Red is considered as one of the luckiest colors in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the royal (皇室的) family wore bright red. In modern China, red is often seen at celebrations like weddings and festivals. Red also describes someone who is very popular.
White
In ancient China, white was considered as common people’s color. Back then, only the rich could afford to make colorful mon people couldn’t afford that, so most of their clothes were white. Now people still enjoy white clothes, but they sometimes connect white with bad things. It is connected with scary things like death.

Progress (进步) means the act of going forward. Making any kind of progress can make us healthy and happy in life. By setting and actively working towards our goals (目标), we can make progress in our life.
To make more progress in life, start looking at problems in a different way. Whatever happens, if we think actively, it can be useful and helpful.
Having confidence (信心) is helpful for us to make progress. Confidence comes from different places, such as proper education, training or having good relationships. We should also stay with people who believe in our success and actively support (支持) us. These people can help push us towards progress.
Slow progress is still progress. Progress usually comes a lot more slowly than we expect. Even if progress is slow, try not to be worried. One important thing is that we keep taking steps towards our goals, and another is that we clearly remember what our goals are all the time.
The road to progress is not always smooth (顺利的). Most progress often comes with setbacks along the way. Sometimes, maybe it feels like we’re taking one step forward and three steps back, but it won’t always be like that. Keep going towards our goals and we can much more easily make the progress we want.
Progress doesn’t always happen in a straight line. As long as we keep working, we will achieve higher levels (水平) in our learning.

To offer teenagers helpful career guidance (指导), the students from Tianjin TEDA No. 1 Middle School started a project called Dian Zhi Cheng Shi. “Our survey shows that over 70 percent of students want to know more about different jobs,” they said.
“Doctors, accountants and lawyers are the top three,” said Wang Xinran, the leader of the project. Based on (基于) students’ needs, the team interviewed (采访) 32 workers in different fields and posted their interviews on social media. They shared true stories behind each job, allowing students to learn about the jobs in depth (深入地). “We also invited these people to give speeches in our school so that students could talk to them face to face,” said Wang.
Team member Lu Jinyan said his most special interview was with a photographer (摄影师). “I used to think being a photographer was cool. But now I know that they need to deal with lots of problems, such as a sudden change of weather. They also need to communicate with different people.”
But the project doesn’t mean to disappoint students by telling them the truth. “We want to show the workers’ love for their jobs,” said a group member Zhao Yajie. “The name of the project means to turn a career into a poem. We believe working is not just about money. It should be like a poem, full of love and beauty. And we hope our project can let students know that.”

On May 6, 2025, a 28-year-old Chinese snooker (斯诺克) player named Zhao Xintong made sports history. He defeated Welsh star Mark Williams 18-12 in the World Snooker Championship final. This was China’s first world champion in snooker! Before this, British players had won for 98 years, but now that long record was broken.
Zhao’s path to success was full of stories. In 2023, he had to stop playing for 20 months because people said he did something wrong in a match. In September 2024, he came back. He started from the early qualifying games (资格赛) and played nine matches. He won 111 frames (局)! In one game, he even beat seven-time champion Ronnie O Sullivan 17-7. He could make long shots right 80% of the time and scored 18 century breaks, equaling (等于) Ding Junhui’s record in 2016!
The final against 50-year-old Williams was very exciting. Williams was the oldest player to reach the final. Zhao was ahead 17-8, but Williams tried hard and won four frames one after another. Then, in the 30th frame, Zhao stayed calm (镇静的) and made an 87-point break to win the game. When he got the trophy (奖杯), he held the Chinese flag high.
Ding Junhui, China’s snooker pioneer who once came second in 2016, said, “Zhao Xintong did what Chinese players have hoped for many years.” This win is like when Yao Ming made basketball popular in China.

Success is often considered to be the opposite of failure. To teenagers, it is the achievement (成就) of a goal or completion (完成) of something they really need, such as good grades and the ability to get along well with their classmates. Some schools used to agree with most parents who measured (判定) the success of their children according to grades, but now they pay special attention to moral education and character-building to make sure teenagers achieve success in building human relationships.
Schools give chances to students to discover their hidden ability so that they can enjoy some form of success. For example, those good at speaking skills are advised to take part in speech competitions while those interested in arts are expected to perform in front of their classmates. Teenagers also get the pleasure of success when they join their favorite clubs.
Teenagers are often told that success is not easy to achieve and that success lies in hard work. Great efforts have to be put into project work. Doing things much later than planned should be avoided as this will lead to a mountain of work which finally makes them nervous. Another good quality is a sense of responsibility which makes them remember that a task has to be completed.
Sticking to moral values is the key to success, too. Honest teenagers will win the trust (信任) of friends leading to good relationships. Self-motivation (自我激励) is another quality to be developed, for self-motivated teenagers will have the strong will and drive to perform a task and finally get to enjoy a sense of achievement.
86．What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to
A．Their classmates. B．Some schools.

87．Why are students given chances to take part in activities
A．To get good grades. B．To improve speaking ability.

①You might have heard about identity theft (身份盗窃): it means a thief gets enough of someone’s information to commit fraud (诈骗). Why should people care about it Because recovering a stolen identity can be a hard process. Imagine that someone opens a credit card in your name, gets a cell phone number in your name, or buys things using a credit card that has your name on it.
②ID thieves can be creative about getting your information. There are some low-tech ways they get it: sometimes they steal rubbish, going through it to find personal information, or they steal mail.
③There are high-tech ways, too. ID thieves might put software onto your computer secretly. The software, called badware, lets a thief see everything on your computer, and record everything you type on your computer. Thieves can still have access to your personal information even if you’re really careful with your personal information. Sometimes, they get into computer systems at shops, schools, hospitals or businesses. They look for personal information to use or sell to other thieves.
④It’s pretty easy for you and your family to stop a thief stealing your identity. You can start with the low-tech defenses (防御). Be careful with your mail and rubbish. And be sure to take care of your wallet, or your backpack. It’s especially important not to carry your Social Security card with you. Keep it in a safe place at home.
⑤Practice some higher-tech defenses, too: protect your computer by turning on an up-to-date firewall. Once you’re online, be careful with your personal information. When you get emails or pop-ups on your computer, don’t respond automatically (自动响应). Stop and think before you click—it could help keep your information private, and keep badware off your computer.
96．What would the thief do if he stole your personal information
A．He would buy a new cell phone.
B．He would open a new credit card in his name.
C．He would buy many things with his credit card.
D．He would use your information to do something bad.
97．What can we infer from paragraph 2
A．It is easy for your mail to be stolen.
B．Even useless things can lead to identity theft.
C．We should put away our mail to avoid identity theft.
D．We can’t throw rubbish to protect our personal information.
98．What can we learn from the underlined sentence in paragraph 3
A．It’s impossible for people to find a way to stop identity theft.
B．It’s not an easy thing for a thief to collect your personal information.
C．People can protect their personal information if they are careful enough.
D．Thieves are good at finding ways to collect people’s personal information.
99．Which statement shows the writer’s idea best
A．Identity theft is an easy problem that can be dealt within a second.
B．Identity theft will finally be stopped as computer software becomes better.
C．Identity theft is a serious problem that can be reduced with a few simple habits.
D．Identity theft will happen as long as you get emails or pop-ups on your computer.
