The fact that blind people can see things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us understand our feeling about color. If they sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it.

Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings（包装）， that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妆品） should never be packed in brown. Their discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology（心理学）。 Some of our preferences（偏爱） for colors are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people’s mind. People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure; red is exciting. Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a close study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars.

1.. The passage tells us that salesmen have __________.

A. discovered the relationship between color and psychology

B. tried out colors on blind people

C. found out that color affect sales

D. developed a special subject of color psychology

2.. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. what color we prefer depends on our state of mind

B. foods sell well in green or blue wrappings

C. blind people cannot sense color difference

D. a bright yellow has exactly the opposite effect to red

3.. If people are exposed to（置身于） pure blue, _________.

A. their blood pressure rises     　　

B. they want to taste blue foods

C. they will feel like buying things 　　　

D. they won’t easily feel nervous

4.. Which of the following do you think is the best title of the passage?

A. Colors and sales　　　　 B. Colors and feelings

C. The blind and colors　　 D. Preferences for colors

Today it is common to see people who walk about with colored wires hanging from their ears wherever they go. They move about in their personal bubbles, sometimes unaware of what’s happening around them. Are you one of “them”?

For me, walking around in my own personal bubble is perfect. 1.What’s even better, wearing earphones seems to give a signal to people which says: “I’m not available for chatting at the moment!”

Suppose you’re at work, you don’t want anyone to break your concentration. 2. Those wires hanging from your ears would be sure to give the “Go away!” signal.

3. It’s probably part of the growing up stage when they just want to ignore their whole family. While their mothers give them lectures about why they should do their homework, they can just turn up the volume (声音) on their MP3 player, smile, and say “Yes, Mum.” Problem solved.

Pretty soon, not only will we have pretty colored wires hanging from our ears — but also our brains will be directly plugged into some new high-tech instrument. We’ll be in a virtual (虚拟) world, communicating with everyone else, or choosing not to, as we like. 4. And they are changing our social habits along the way.

In the end, there is a thin line between using technology as a tool for making life better and being a slave to it! It’s so strange — suddenly, 5.

A. Our instruments are changing quickly.

B. I also have wires hanging from my ears.

C. In the home situation, teenagers love these wires.

D. I don’t feel like wearing my earphones any more!

E. I don’t have to deal with the noise from the environment.

F. After all, I am listening to my favorite music and would rather not be disturbed.

G. Listening to music through earphones is the perfect way to ignore such interruptions.

Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are mostly silent. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. It depends upon actions which mean the same thing to people all over the world. He is master of the art – a kind of world language.

As a young man, he and his brother traveled to America in a small company of actors. Chaplin was then invited to join a new company that was making film comedies. Very soon he had made dozens of short films for this company. And it was in his second film that he wore the clothes which made his reputation – black hat, tight coat, baggy trousers, huge shoes, moustache and walking stick. He intended simply to make people laugh. But the odd make-up made him look both comic and sad.

By the time he was thirty, Chaplin was the greatest, best known and best loved comedian in the world. He received thousands of dollars for each film he made. He had formed his own manner of acting. He was welcomed by excited crowds wherever he went. But he worked very hard and had few close friends. Perhaps that is why the sad side of the little tramp began to show more clearly in the films he made. The little man began to want more than food and a roof over his head. He began to want love.

In one of his most famous films “The Gold Rush” a girl plays tricks on the little man. Then she begins to feel sorry for him and treats him kindly. He mistakes her pity for love. The girl in “City Lights” is blind. She thinks he is the most wonderful man she has ever met. But then she recovers her sight and sees what a foolish figure he is. This sadness gives Chaplin’s films a depth of human experience which few comedians can equal.

After living in America for forty years he moved to Switzerland. There he died on Christmas Day 1977. He once described himself as a citizen of famous pictures that were made during the 1920s and 1930s, the time of the silent films. But, to many people all over the world Chaplin will always be the king of comedy.

People who like their traveling have their reasons. They believe that traveling can help them expand their field of view, especially in the geographical and historical sense. They also think that touring will give them more chances to enjoy different kinds of food and experience new things that would never be brought by other activities. But those who dislike traveling also have some reasons.

Traveling, in my opinion, dose more good than harm. Most importantly, it broadened our mind. We can get in touch with other civilization（文明）, culture, customs and ideas.

Through history, most people traveled because of necessity —not for pleasure. People traveled just in order to remain alive. They searched for food to eat or places to live in. They sometimes ran away from enemies. This is not to say that no one ever traveled just for the fun of it. In ancient times, for example, rich Romans traveled all the way to Greece to take part in the Olympic Games, and festivals. Of course, some people decided to travel just out of curiosity. They wanted to find out what it looked like beyond the horizon（地平线）. Also business travel has been going on for centuries. Traders could not only make money but also learn to speak several languages and be introduced to different cultures.

So, traveling does enrich our mind and draw new ideas to us. There is no doubt that we can get much from it.
