Scientists are making new studies of color and its effects on our health. They have known for a long time that the color of a room or the color of the light in it can affect our feelings and emotions. Many prisons and hospitals have at least one room that is painted pink. Officials have found that light and color can produce physical changes in our bodies.

Professor Falfan worked with a group of 9 disabled children at school in Albert. Two of the children were blind. The other seven had normal sight. The scientists changed the color of the school room, and then looked for changes in blood pressure, heart beat and breathing rate. The effects of color changes were the same for the blind children as for those with normal sight. Their blood pressure dropped from about 120 to 100. Similar changes were reported in heart-beat and the breathing. The children were also calmer and less excited. Then the colors of the room were returned to orange and white. Blood pressure, heart-beat and breathing rate went up and the children became excited again.

Professor Falfan said different colors produce different levels of light energy. He said the differences seem to affect chemicals in the brain that carry messages from nerve to nerve and from nerve to muscle.

1.Light and color can affect ________.

A．only one’s feelings and emotions

Most people watching Jeremy Lin these past two months saw Jeremy Lin，New York Knicks star；but I，watching him，saw someone else.That was my elder brother，Bob，who is athletic and energetic. He could never sit still when he was in second grade；he had to get up every now and then and run around the room.And sure enough，he grew up to be a starting player for an NCAA championship lacrosse (長曲棍球) team.He was a Nike?endorsed marathoner，too，and reached the top of Mt.Everest，unguided，in his 50s.

And yet my family never watched his lacrosse games.We did watch some of his marathons，but that wasn’t until he was in his 20s.When Bob was in his glory days，our Shanghainese?born parents were bent on getting him into medical school.There was a loving aspect to it：I can remember my father working through math books with him，lesson by lesson，at the big blackboard in the attic.Bob never did become a doctor，though；and neither did I．It wasn’t until my younger sister came along that someone in the family finally wore a white coat.

Bob today could be the fittest 58?year?old on the planet.His doctor estimates his biological age at 35；he’s still big mountains in the Himalayas.And，like Jeremy Lin，he’s charming.No one sees Bob without leaving with a laugh.He sometimes jokes he could be mayor of his building，and it’s true.To know him is to cheer for him.

And yet my parents did not cheer for him.What if my mother had sat on the sidelines with her statistics，like Jeremy Lin’s mother？What if my father had played videos of athletes for my brother to watch and imitate？It’s hard not to wonder.

And how did Jeremy Lin’s parents manage to do these remarkable things？Amy Chua，the tiger mother，recalls her immigrant father beating the kids whenever they mispronounced a Chinese word.How is it that Jeremy Lin’s immigrant father in particular，Gie?Ming Lin，encouraged his son to follow such an untraditional path?

1.Bob’s glory days were those ________.

A．when he was doing well in math

B．when he was in second grade

C．when he was made mayor of his building

D．when he showed his talents in sports

2.From the passage we can tell that Bob is________.

A．a(chǎn)ctive and optimistic

B．clever and determined

C．brave and helpful

D．considerate and independent

3.Which of the following statements is probably TRUE?

A．Bob was always ignored by his parents.

B．Bob could also have been a sport star.

C．Bob’s parents often watched his games.

D．Nobody in the author’s family was a doctor.

4.From the last two paragraphs we can infer that ________.

A．parents should always study together with their children

B．parents should know how to educate their children properly

C．children should be punished when they do anything wrong

D．children should try to live up to the hopes of their parents

閱讀理解。

I know what you’re thinking: pizza? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the morning if you want to.

I know lots of women who don’t have breakfast, and they have many different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving” calories(卡路里), still others just don’t like breakfast food.

But eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all.

Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers found that those who don’t have breakfast have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

1.The word “l(fā)eftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________.

A. pizza topped with fruit

B. things left undone

C. food remaining after a meal

D. meals made of vegetables

2.According to the last paragraph, it is important to __________.

A. be careful about what you eat

B. eat something for breakfast

C. heat up food before eating it

D. eat calorie-controlled food

3.What can we infer from the text?

A. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.

B. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.

D．Eating vegetables helps save energy.

4.The text is written mainly for those__________.

A. who go to work early B. who go to bed late

C. who eat before sleep D. who want to lose weight

5.What does the author advise the readers to do?

A. Better eat up all the food at dinner in the night.

B. Better eat less in the night.

C. Better eat leftovers in the morning.

D. Better get up late and eat nothing in the morning in order to burn more calories.
