Deciding what to wear in the morning is a challenge for some people.We often worry about what others will think of us because of our clothes. But researchers are beginning to think that our clothing has an equally powerful effect on how we see ourselves.
Scientists Adam Galinsky and Hajo Adams report that there is science behind our style. In their research，Galinsky and Adams had some participants(参与者)wear white lab coats similar to the ones scientists or doctors wear. Other participants wore their normal clothes. The participants took a test that surveyed their ability to pay attention. In the experiment，participants saw cards with different-colored words on them. They had to say the color of the word they saw，not the word itself. The people wearing the white lab coats said the correct color of the word more often.
Galinsky and Adams think that the white coats made the participants feel more confident and careful. The researchers also believe that other kinds of "symbolic" clothes can influence the behavior of the people wearing them. A police officer's uniform or a judge's robe，for example，increases the wearer's feelings of power or confidence. And in workplaces that have a dress code，"symbolic" clothes may also affect how well employees do their jobs.
Fashion blogger Jessica Quirk believes that our clothes greatly affect how we feel about ourselves. According to Quirk，"There is joy and luck and confidence in what we wear. " On her blog called "What I wore，" Quirk posts a photo of what she's wearing every day. She says that people should pay more attention to what they wear. For example，we should choose a look that makes us feel more creative and happy. One way to do this at work is to "dress up for the exciting job we want，" she says，"not the boring job we have. " Another way is to wear special clothes that mean something to us. For example，Quirk wears one special pair of shoes to all her important meetings. They are her "lucky" shoes.
As Quirk points out-and as researchers have discovered-our clothes are "like our second skin. " The clothes we wear can affect our behavior. They can also tell the world something about us，without us having to say a word.
1.What do you think Paragraph 2 is mostly about?
A. Descrbing an experiment. B. The opinions of a blogger.
C. A record of two scientists. D. Advice from two scientists.
2.What happened in Galinsky and Adams' experiment? Put the steps into the correct order.

d. the researchers gave some participants white coats to wear.
A. d，c，a，b B. d，a，c，b C. b，a，c，d D. b，c，a，d
3.What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The clothes we wear can affect how we feel.
B. The clothes we wear should be symbolic.
C. The clothes we wear make us feel more powerful.
D. The clothes we wear can affect what others think of us.

Clay Warner is wearing his basketball clothes, waiting in the chair for his chance to play—but until last week, nobody asked him to play. Although the 18- year-old students does well in playing basketball, his coach wouldn’t like to bring Clay into play. He is afraid that Clay would get hurt.
This is because it’s kind of difficult for Clay to see things—even when he wears glasses. His mother says that he was born with cerebral palsy(脑瘫). Although he tries his best to look at the basketball hoop by focusing on the right corner of his glasses, it is not easy for him to do it well.
On the high school’s Senior Night last week, Clay’s coach finally called him to play during the final minute of the game. With the watchers already standing to give him a warm welcome, Clay got into position as the crowd cheered him up.
“I want to get him in. It was Senior Night,” the head coach told reporters. “If there is an opportunity for him, I wanted to take advantage of it. All the player were for it, too.”
Once the game was back in play, one of Clay’s teammates passed him the ball. Though he had been practising shooting hoops since he was in the third grade, this was the first time he had ever taken a shot on his high school basketball team.
As the watchers waited, Clay took the shot and dropped the ball clean through the net, hardly touching the rim(边框)—and the watchers shouted in wild cheers.
“This whole gym was calling my name,” Clay told the news reporters. “The whole crowd was jumping . They were going crazy. It was like I were a little kid again.”
1.The coach wouldn’t like to bring Clay into play because_ .
A.he is afraid that Clay would get hurt. B.he is afraid that Clay wasn’t good at playing.
C.Clay wouldn’t like to play for the team. D.Clay doesn’t get on well with other players.
2.What is wrong with Clay?
A.Something is wrong with his ears. B.Something is wrong with his eyes.
C.Something is wrong with his arms. D.Something is wrong with his legs.
3.What happened when Clay got into the position?
A.The coach shouted at him B.The watchers cheered him up
C.The coach passed him the ball D.The watchers passed him the ball
4.Clay took the shot on his high school basketball team.
A.once B.twice C.three times D.four times
5.The underlined word “They” in the last paragraph refers to “ ”.

What would you do if you had an accident in your daily life?
It is important for you to get some knowledge about first aid in your daily life. If a person has an accident, he / she needs medical care before a doctor can be found. When you give first aid, you must know three things:
First, when a person stops breathing (呼吸), open his / her mouth to see if there is food in his / her mouth. Second, if a person cannot breathe, try to start his / her breathing at once, using a mouth-to-mouth way. Third, if a person is hurt badly, try to stop the bleeding (流血) at once. And then take him / her to a doctor, because if a person loses one third of his / her blood, he / she may be in great danger.
Many accidents may happen at home, and everyone should know some first aid to deal with common injuries. When a person is bitten by an animal, wash the wound with cold running water before he / she is taken to see a doctor. When a person is burnt, wash and cool the area of the skin under the cold tap for a while, then put a piece of dry clean cloth over the burn. If a person is badly burnt, take him / her to the doctor. If a person cuts his / her finger, clean it and put a piece of clean paper round the cut.
In the future we should learn more about first aid and try to spread (传播) it.
1.How many steps should you pay attention to when you give first aid?
A. Two. B. Three. C. Four. D. Five.
2.If a person is hurt badly and bleeding, what should you do first?
