13、ty of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.For the first group the room was painted white: for the second, dark brown. Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet.The experi

14、ment showed that those who entered the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one.

15、ose inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented.

Because they tremble at the thought of being seen in public in clothes that are out of fashion, they are always ta

21、ken advantage of by the designers and the big stores. Clothes which have been worn only a few times have to be put aside because of the change of fashion. When you come to think of it, only a woman is capable of standing in front of a wardrobe(衣柜)packed full of clothes and announcing sadly that she

22、has nothing to wear.Changing fashions are nothing more than the intentional creation of waste. Many women spend vast sums of money each year to replace clothes that have hardly been worn. Women who cannot afford to throw away clothing in this way, waste hours of their time altering the dresses they

23、have. Skirts are lengthened or shortened: necklines are lowered or raised, and so on.No one can claim that the fashion industry contributes anything really important to society. Fashion designers are rarely concerned with vital things like warmth, comfort and durability(耐用). They are only interested

24、 in outward appearance and they take advantage of the fact that women will put up with any amount of discomfort, as long as they look right. There can hardly be a man who hasnt at some time in his life smiled at the sight of a woman shaking in a thin dress on a winter day, delicately picking her way

25、 through deep snow in high-heeled shoes.When comparing men and women in the matter of fashion the conclusions to be drawn are obvious. Do the constantly changing fashion of womens clothes, one wonders, reflect basic qualities of inconstancy and instability? Men are too clever to let themselves be tr

26、eated by fashion designers. Do their unchanging styles of dress reflect basic qualities of stabililty and feasibility?

29、f womem.（B） The constant changes in womens clothing reflect their strength of character.（C） The fashion industry makes an important contribution to society.（D）Fashion designers should not be encouraged since they are only welcomed by women.32 Climate, more than any other single factor, determines th

30、e distribution of life on earth. Climatic boundaries establish the limits which organisms can survive. Plants, even more than animals , must be well adapted to climate in order to survive. They cannot move about or take shelter but must be equipped to endure whatever weather conditions are likely to

31、 occur. In the harsh conditions of the tundra, for example, low growing mosses, lichens, and a few flowering plants all hug the ground for shelter from icy winds.Animals, despite their ability to move about and find shelter, are just as much influenced by climate as plants are. Creatures such as the

32、 camel and the penguin are so highly specialized that they have an extremely limited distribution. Others, such as bears are flexible enough to adapt to a broad range of climates. Oceandwelling organisms are just as sensitive to climatic changesin this case temperature and salinityas land animals. R

33、eef corals can survive only in clear warm seawater. Certain foraminifers are so sensitive to changes in their environment that their presence can be taken as an index of sea temperature. Human beings are among the least specialized of all animals and can live almost anywhere. Their clothes and their

34、 homes act as a sort of “miniature climate“ that can be taken with them everywhere.33 According to the passage, plants on the tundra grow in the ground_.（A）to avoid being eaten by arctic animals（B） because fertilizer is not readily available（C） to minimize exposure to the cold（D）because unfrozen wat

35、er supplies are very scarce34 According to the passage, which of the following can be found in areas with quite different climatic conditions on Earth?（A）Reef corals.（B） Penguins.（C） Bears.（D）Camels.35 It can be inferred from the passage that foraminifers are a_.（A）kind of weather pattern（B） form of

36、 sea life（C） species of tundra plant（D）type of miniature penguin36 According to the passage, human beings can survive almost everywhere on earth because _.（A）they have developed advanced forms of transportation（B） they have learned how to process sea water for drinking（C） their body temperature can

37、vary considerably（D）their shelters and clothes help them to adapt themselves to the environment36 Exercise, everyone advises! But immediately, when you try, you run into trouble. There is so much contradictory, sometimes in correct advice about exercising that become confused. Test yourself on the f

38、ollowing true-false quiz. It tell you what you need to know.1. To lose weight you should always “work up a good sweat“when exercising.False.

39、ue to water loss. Once you replace the liquid, you replace the weight.2. You burn more calories jogging one mile than walking the same distance.False. You use, the same amount of energy whether you walk or jog the mile, since in both cases you are moving the same weight the same distance. The speed

40、doesnt matter. Of course, if you jog rather than walk for 30 minutes, youll cover more distance, and therefore burn more calories.3. If your breathing doesnt return to normal within minutes after you finish exercising, youve exercised too much.True. Five minutes or so after exercising, your breathin

41、g should be normal, your heart shouldnt pounding, and you shouldnt exhausted. Beneficial exercise is not too difficult, unpleasant, and exhausting: it is enjoyable and refreshing.4.
