  Directions: There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by 5 questions. For each question there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. Please choose the best answer to the question.

  Passage One

  Are you nervous? Maybe you should sit in a blue room. Are you always cold? Maybe you should sit in a room painted in a warm color such as soft orange. Are you often sad? Maybe you should sit in a yellow room. Some researchers believe that color has the power to affect our feelings. They believe that colors affect almost everyone in the same way. They tested the idea in different settings.

  One study was done in a workplace. The researchers painted heavy boxes white and light boxes black. They wanted to see how color affected the workers’ feelings. Which boxes do you think were more difficult to lift? The heavy white ones? No .The black boxes were more difficult. The white boxes were heavier but they looked light. The researchers think that this is because light colors seem light.

  Another study was done at a hospital with brown and dark green walls. Painters repainted the hospital walls in bright colors-bright orange on the first floor, bright pink on the second, bright green on the third. Guess what happened? The patients changed. They visited each other and talked more. The workers also changed and were happier about their work.

  Another study was done at a school. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, studied children with behavior problems in their classroom. When the walls were brown and yellow, the children’s heart rates went up and they were overactive. When the walls were light and dark blue, the children’s heart rates were slower and the children were much calmer.

  If this is true, people might start to think carefully about the colors around them-not just in house, but also in offices, in schools, in hospitals, in gyms, in prisons, in museums, and in restaurants!

  Passage Two

  To learn with success is not a very difficult task if some fundamental principles are laid down to be the bases. In discussing this subject, four indispensable principles should be mentioned: diligence, devotion, constancy, and punctuality.

  All things can be conquered by diligence. It makes the foolish wise, the poor rich, and the humble noble. It produces a wonderful effect. In learning, the work of a diligent fool doubles that of a lazy wit.

  Devotion means to set our heart on one thing at a time and give up all other thoughts. Never think of learning another subject while studying one subject. Those who often change their studies will never succeed in the long run. Therefore, in order to be successful we need devotion.

  Constancy makes success a certainty. On the other hand, inconstancy often results in failure. If we study day after day, there is nothing that cannot be achieved. We should remember a worthy proverb "Constant dropping of water wears away a stone."

  Besides these, there is another rule helpful to one's accomplishments, that is, punctuality. The habit of keeping regular hours is of extreme importance to successful learning. “Work while you work; play while you play.” Every man will certainly become strong and wise if he does so.

  21. To learn with success, according to this passage, _____B______ is not what we should follow.

  A. diligence

  B. independence

  C. constancy

  D. devotion

  22. _____C_____ makes the foolish wise, the poor rich, the humble noble.

  A. knowledge

  B. imitation (模仿)

  C. diligence

  D. communication

  23. Devotion means_____C____.

  A. to change as you need

  B. to give up what you want most

  C. to do one thing at a time

  D. to do as much as you can at a time

  24. "Constant dropping of water wears away a stone." means ______B______.

  A. Failure results from the impossible trying

  B. constancy can make success a certainty

  C. nothing can be achieved without water

  D. constancy needs drinking water everyday

  25. In the last paragraph, “punctuality” means _____B_____.

  A. success learning depends on our more wisdom

  B. we need to develop the habit of keeping regular hours

  C. everyone needs to do some exercises to learn with success

  D. play as well as work is what we need in learning
