Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At
least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying
the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 2 . If you
happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could
see clearly.
3 . A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one;
and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. 4 . A black bridge over the
Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自***) than any other bridge in
the area - until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply.
Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
5 . It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents
when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.

}the forests. There are many examples of this kind of destruction. The harmfulness of man"s interference
can be seen in what happened many years ago in the forest of the Kaibab plateau (凯亚巴布高原) of
northern Arizona. Man tried to improve on the natural web of forest life and destroyed it instead.
The Kaibab had a storybook forest of large sized pine, Douglas fir, white fir, blue and Engelmann
spruce. In 1882 a visitor noted, "We, who ... have wandered through its forests and parks, have come
to regard it as the most enchanting region it has ever been our privilege (特权) to visit."This was also the
living place of the Rocky Mountain mule deer. Indians hunted there every autumn to gather meat and skins. The forest also had mountain lions, timber wolves and bobcats that kept the deer from multiplying too
rapidly.
Then, in 1906, President Theodore Roosevelt made the Kaibab a national game preserve. Deer hunting was forbidden. Government hunters started killing off the deer"s enemies. In 25years" time, 6,250 mountain lions, wolves and bobcats were killed. Before the program, there were about 4,000 deer in the Kaibab, by 1924, there were about 100,000.
The deer ate every leaf and twig they could reach. But there was not nearly enough food. Hunting of
deer was permitted again. This caused a slight decrease in the deer herd (鹿群),but a far greater loss
resulted from starvation (饥饿) and disease. Some 60 percent of the deer herd died in two winters. By
1930 the herd had dropped to 20,000 animals. By 1942 it was down to 8,000.
B. interfering with natural cycle of forest life
C. forest fires caused by man"s carelessness
D. cutting the trees for building materials
B.an animal
C.a mountain
D.a game
B.6
C.18
D.12
B.the organized kill
C.the shortage of food
D.the poor management
develop rock-hard abdominal muscles(腹肌). It"s easy! Just pay $149.99 for the Torso Track or $149.75 for the Ad-Doer and watch those unwanted inches leave your waist. Americans spend tens of millions of
dollars on various products to firm up their fat around the waist. And did they work? Not necessarily.
Independent studies have concluded that most of these products ---- no matter who approved them or
how expensive they are ---- shape your midsection no better than old-fashioned stomach crunches(仰卧起坐). Some can even cause injury ---- like the $518.99 Body Shaper-Q8SP, which left electrical burns on some researchers at the University of Wisconsin, La Crosse. Others, like the popular Ab-Doer,
typically burn less energy than a gentle walk, according to a study to be published in September by the
American Council on Exercise.
The fact is that many Americans don"t have the biological makeup to develop an obvious abdominal
muscles. They are either unable to get the necessary muscle mass or they can"t lose enough fat to make a
difference. Even if the underlying muscles are well developed, all it takes to hide it is one-sixteenth of an
inch of fat. That"s enough to exclude most healthy women as well as plenty of guys who do crunches
every day.
So what works best? In its new study, the exercise experts researched on the results of the popular
Ab-Doer. A lengthy TV advertisement promises that just 10 minutes a day performing such movements
as "Body Boogies" and "Good Mornings" will "help form those muscles the fun and easy way without
diets." Steven Loy, professor at California State University, Northridge, tested the promise by measuring
the electrical activity produced by the abdominal muscles during three Ab-Doer movements. He and his
colleagues then compared the results with those produced during traditional exercises. They determined
that the muscles were no more active, and in some cases less so, when exercisers were using the Ab-Doer.
Taking a broader approach, researchers at San Diego State University compared 13 abdominal
exercises for their ability to develop the central abdominal muscles. They concluded, in a report published
in May, that the most effective exercises kept turning the body and worked the muscles the entire time.
Among the winners: the bicycle movements ---- so called because it looks as if you are riding a bike
while lying flat on the floor ---- and exercises performed on the "Captain"s Chair", a product typically
found in gyms that helps hold the body in the air while you raise your legs up toward your chest.
Researchers suggested that a varied routine of the different exercises could deliver the best results.
B．Ab-Doer.
C．Captain"s Chair.
D．Body Shaper-Q8SP.
because .
B．injuries interrupt their exercise frequently
C．they change their exercise routine regularly
D．how big their muscles will be is determined by birth
B．offering professional suggestions
C．presenting findings of researches
D．comparing advertisements of products
B．To promote proven exercise techniques and to advise against false advertisements.
C．To indicate that diet and exercises are necessary factors for a fit midsection.
D．To sponsor rich healthy lifestyle based on advanced product research.

| 阅读理解 The World Health Organization says obesity rates are rising in Pacific island countries.So, too, are health problems linked to being overweight. The WHO says a major reason for the rising obesity rates is an increase in imported foods.It says many Pacific islanders have replaced their traditional diets of vegetables and fruits with imported processed foods. Dr.Temu Waqanivalu is with the World Health Organization"s South Pacific office in Suva, Fiji.He says many of the imported products lack nutritional value. Temu Waqanivalu said:"In some of the places, you"d be amazed to see how a bottle of Coke is cheaper than a bottle of water.I think that represents the kind of offenvironment we"ve created that doesn"t really encourage or make lifestyle choices an easy choice for the population." And a lack of physical activity among many Pacific islanders only adds to the obesity problem. The WHO says more than 50 percent of the population is overweight in at least ten Pacific island countries.The rate is as high as 80 percent among women in the territory of American Samoa.Fiji had the lowest obesity rate at 30 percent. In all, almost ten million people live in Pacific island countries.The WHO estimates that about 40 percent of them have health disorders related to diet and nutrition. Diabetes rates are among the highest in the world.Fortyseven percent of the people in American Samoa have diabetes.So do 44 percent of the people in Tokelau, a territory of New Zealand. By comparison, the diabetes rate is 13 percent in the United States, a country that has its own problems with rising obesity. Officials also note an increase in nutritional problems like anemia and not enough vitamin A in the diets of Pacific islanders.Dr.Waqanivalu says treating conditions related to obesity and diet puts pressure on limited health resources and budgets. 1. The main reason why obesity rates are rising in many Pacific islanders is ________. A. the change of society B. the change of eating habits C. the change of life style D. lack of exercise 2. Imported products lack nutritional value but people love to buy them because ________. A. they are cheap B. they are popular C. they are tasty D. they are convenient to get 3.

| Elderly adults who regularly drink green tea may stay more active and independent than their peers over time,according to a Japanese study that covered thousands of people． Green tea contains antioxidant chemicals that may help ward off the cell damage that can lead to disease．Researchers have been studying green tea"s effect on everything from cholesterol(胆固醇)to the risk of certain cancers,with mixed results so far． For the new Japanese study,researchers decided to examine the question of whether green tea drinkers have a lower risk of frailty and disability as they grow older． Tomata and his colleagues followed nearly 14,000 adults aged 65 or older for three years． They found those who drank the most green tea were the least likely to develop "functional disability", or problems with daily activities or basic needs,such as dressing or bathing． Specifically,almost 13 percent of adults who drank less than a cup of green tea per day became functionally disabled,compared with just over 7 percent of people who drank at least five cups a day． The study did not prove that green tea alone kept people active as they grew older． Green-tea lovers generally had healthier diets,including more fish,vegetables and fruit,as well as more education．lower smoking rates,fewer heart attacks and strokes,and greater mental sharpness． They also tended to be more socially active and have more friends and family to rely on． Although it"s not clear how green tea might offer a buffer(缓冲剂)against disability,Tomata"s team did note that one recent study found green tea extracts(提炼物)seem to increase leg muscle strength in older women． While green tea and its extracts are considered safe in small amounts,they do contain caffeine and small amounts of vitamin K,which means it could block drugs that prevent blood thickened． | |
