閱讀理解

　　BELIEVE it or not, the color of the tie Barack Obama wore to the inauguration(就職典禮)is now a hotly debated topic．The level of public interest in Obama’s tie might seem strange but many people believe his choice will symbolize the type of government he plans to run, as the color of a politician’s tie is thought to convey ideas of power, trustworthiness and more．

　　Polities of ties．

　　It may be the least practical item of male dress, but it is arguably the most expressive．In the UK and many other coun－tries around the world, conservative(保守的)politicians may wear a blue tie and their liberal opponents a red one．In America, the colors go the other way round．The Republicans have in recent years become associated with the color red, and the Democrats with blue．But in spite of this, bush wears blue ties more often than any other color．

　　What they mean

　　According to Sharon Haver, editor of focusonstyle．com, in America the feelings associated with colors overrule their political significance．“a guy who want to be regarded as strong and in charge would wear red,” Haver says．Unsurprisingly, the business tycoon Donald Trump is known for wearing red ties．But what about blue? According to Haver, “Blue is a softer color… Look at the sky．It’s peaceful and calm and trustworthy．”

　　Selecting the right tie for the right occasion．

　　●Perfect job interview tie．

　　Perhaps no other tie －wearing occasion is as important as the job interview．Gilchrist, the fashion expert, advises playing it safe and choosing a conservative one．Best choices are solids, stripes or small patterns．An excellent color is burgundy(深紅色)or another serious color．Avoid pink or yellow, which suggests that the wearer lacks gravity．

　　Pattern ties, Gilchrist suggests, should be limited to a maximum of three colors．A striped tie is a safe choice as this is acceptable to everyone．Last, Gilchrist recommends saving the expensive “hip” tie for those applying for glamorous creative jobs．

　　●Date－night tie

　　When picking out the right tie for taking a girl out on a date, spend more time considering color than pattern．According to studies, women are attracted to men wearing the color blue, because blue gives the image of a “stable, faithful, constant, always there” person．So what is the worst color to wear on a date? “Flattened caterpillar(毛蟲)yellow－green,” according to Gilchrist, “it will repel both sexes equally．”

(1)

Why are people interested in the tie that Obama wore to the inauguration?

[　　]

A．

Because they think the tie he wore will enable them to know about his personalities and policies．

B．

Because they want to advise him how to select an appropriate tie for such a big occasion．

C．

Because they think the tie will tell if he is trustworthy as they expected when he assumes office．

D．

Because they believe the tie is an essential part of dressing to a mature politician like Obama．

(2)

What can we infer about Bush, the former president, from the passage?

[　　]

A．

He was probably liberal in his policies when he was in power．

B．

He was a Republican when he served as president．

C．

He wore only blue ties and had no ties of alternative colors．

D．

He wanted to make himself unique by the tie that he wore．

(3)

The example of “the business tycoon Donald Trump” is given to _________．

[　　]

A．

prove that color reflects people’s feelings to a certain degree

B．

show that Donald is so wealthy that he can afford expensive ties

C．

tell that Donald is physically strong and can handle everything

D．

explain that red is a popular color, especially with businessmen

(4)

Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the text?

[　　]

A．

Ties can be ignored by politicians since they are the least practical item of male dress．

B．

Do choose ties carefully before dating, because it is the most important occasion．

C．

Why to avoid pink or yellow ties in job interviews is that they don’t match the atmosphere．

D．

The more colorful the tie is, the more likely you’ll get the job you want．

[1] Usually, when your teacher asks a question, there is only one correct answer. But there is one question that has millions of correct answers. That question is “What’s your name?” Everyone gives a different answer, but everyone is correct. Have you ever wondered about people’s names? Where do they come from? What do they mean?

[2] People’s first names, or given names, are chosen by their parents. Sometimes the name of a grandparent or other member of the family is used. Some parents ______________________. A boy could be named George Washington Smith; a girl could be named Helen Keller Jones.

[3] Some people give their children names that mean good things. Clara means “bright”; Beatrice means “one who gives happiness”; Donald means “world ruler”; Leonard means “as brave as a lion”.

[4] The earliest last names, or surnames, were taken from place names. A family with the name Brook or Brooks probably lived near a brook(小溪)；someone who was called Longstreet probably lived on a long, paved road. The Greenwood family lived in or near a leafy forest.

[5] Other early surnames came from people’s occupations. The most common occupational name is Smith, which means a person who makes things with iron or other metals. In the past, smiths were very important workers in every town and village. Some other occupational names are: Carter — a person who owned or drove a cart; Potter —a person who made pots and pans.

[6] The ancestors of the Baker family probably baked bread for their neighbors in their native village. The Carpenter’s great-great-great-grandfather probably built houses and furniture.

[7] Sometimes people were known for the color of their hair or skin, or their size, or their special abilities. When there were two men who were named John in the same village, the John with the gray hair probably became John Gray. Or the John who was very tall could call himself John Tallman. John Fish was probably an excellent swimmer and John Lightfoot was probably a fast runner or a good dancer.

[8] Some family names were made by adding something to the father’s name. English-speaking people added –s or –son. The Johnsons are descendants of John; the Roberts family’s ancestor was Robert. Irish and Scottish people added Mac or Mc or O. Perhaps all of the MacDonnells and the McDonnells and the O’Donnells are descendants of the same Donnell.

By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up to the front. For a moment I stood there, 53 . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way 54 !

Afterwards, Professor Crouch encouraged me to read other writers’ poetry before the public. I discovered I did have a( n) 55　　　 and found my classmates actually looked forward to hearing me recite.
