Two Unhappy Firsts
People enjoy talking about “firsts”. They like to remember their first love or their first car. But not all firsts are happy ones.
One of history’s bad but important firsts was the first car accident. The accident happened in New York City. The year was 1896. The month was May. A man from Massachusetts was visiting the city in his new car. At that time, bicycle riders were still trying to get used to the cars on the road.
In the accident, no one was sure who was at fault. The bike and the car collided. The man on the bike was injured. The driver of the car had to stay in jail（监狱）and wait for the hospital report on the bicycle rider. Luckily, the rider was not killed.
Three years later, another first took place. The scene was again New York City. A man named Henry Bliss stepped off a streetcar. He was hit by a passing car. Once again, no one was sure how it happened or whose fault it was. The driver of the car was put in jail. Poor Mr. Bliss became the first person to die in a car accident.
1.In each accident the driver was _______________.
A. put in jail for a while. B. set free
C. laughed at D. drunken driving
2.The underlined word in the third paragraph means _______________.
A. stopped at the same time B. raced each other
C. traveled in the same direction D. hit each other
3.This passage is mainly about _______________.
A. accidents in New York City
B. two bicycle accidents
C. two of the first car accidents
D. traffic accidents in large cities

People usually talk about two groups of colours: warm（温暖） colours and cool colours. Scientists think that there are also two groups of people: some people like warm colours and other people like cool colours. The warm colours are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of light, people usually want to be active(活跃的). The cool colours are green, blue and purple. These colours unlike warm colours, are relaxing. Where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet.
Warm colours make people happy and hungry, scientists think that a warm colour such as red or orange, is a good colour for a living room or a restaurant.
Cool colours make people calm. For example，school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel calm. It is also good for the students’ eyes.
However, almost everyone agrees that warm colours remind (使想起) people of warm days and cool colours remind them of cool days. Because in the north (北方) the sun is low during winter, the sunlight are quite blue. Because the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight are yellow.
1.__________is warm color.
A. Green B. Blue C. Red D. Purple
2.Cool colours make people feel______.
A. calm B. happy C. active D. hungry
3.Which is the best title?
A. Two groups of colours B. Two groups of people
C. Warm colours D. Cool colours
