9、s art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings.

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

12、howed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did.

16、Only one.（D）Four.24 There are many commonly held beliefs about eyeglasses and eyesight that are not proven facts. For instance, some people believe that wearing glasses too soon weakens the eyes. But there is no evidence to show that the structure of eyes is changed by wearing glasses at a young age
17、. Wearing the wrong glasses, however, can prove harmful. Studies show that for adults there is no danger, but children can develop loss of vision if they have the wrong glasses.We have all heard some of the common myths about how eyesight gets bad. Most people believe that reading in dim light cause
18、s pool eyesight, but that is unique. Too little light makes the eyes work harder, so they do get tired and strained. Eyestrain also results from reading a lot, reading in bed, and watching too much television. But, although eyestrain may cause some pain or headaches, it does not permanently damage e
19、yesight.Another myth about eyes is that they can be replaced, or transferred from one person to another. There are close to one million nerve fibers that connect the eyeball to the brain .and as if yet it is impossible to attach them all in a new person. Only certain parts of the eyethe cornea and t
20、he retinacan be replaced.

22、glasses（D）people only believe things that are proven facts28 The word “develop“ is used to mean_.（A）become larger（B） create（C） train（D）acquire28 Lawn tennis is a good sport, being based on the ancient game of court tennis, which probably came up in Egypt or Persia some 2, 500 years ago. Major Walter
23、 Wingfield thought that something like court tennis could be played outdoors on lawns, and in December 1873, he introduced his new game, which he called Sphairistike, at a lawn party in Wales. The sport became popular very rapidly, but the strange, difficult name disappeared almost at once, being re
24、placed by the very simple and logical term “lawn tennis“.By 1874 the game was being played by British soldiers in Bermuda, and in the early months of that year a young lady named Mary Outerbridge returned from Bermuda to New York, bringing with her the equipment necessary to play the new game. With
25、the help of one of her brothers, she laid out a court on the grounds of the Staten Island Cricket and Baseball Club, and there, in the spring of 1874, Miss Outerbridge and some of her friends played the first game of lawn tennis in the United States.And just two years later, in 1876, the first Unite

28、ld who invented court tennis.（C） The sport was called “lawn tennis“ shortly after it was invented.（D）Miss Outerbridge set up a lawn tennis court with the help of her brother.32 All the housewives who went to the new supermarket had one great ambition: to be the lucky customer who did not have to pay
29、 for her shopping. For this was what the notice just inside the entrance promised. It said: “Remember, once a week, one of our customers gets free goods. This May Be Your Lucky Day! “For several weeks Mrs. Edwards hoped, like many of her friends, to be the lucky customer. Unlike her friends, she nev
30、er gave up hoping. The cupboards in kitchen were full of things which she did not need. Her husband tried to advise her against buying things but failed. She dreamed of the day when the manager of the supermarket would approach her and say, “ Madam, this is Your Lucky Day. Everything in your basket
31、is free. “One Friday morning, after she had finished her shopping and had taken it to her car, she found that she had forgotten to buy any tea. She dashed back to the supermarket, got the tea and went towards the cash-desk. As she did so, she saw the manager of the supermarket approach her. “Madam,
32、“he said, holding out his hand, “ I want to congratulate you!

35、t began when he was selected to help the teachers in the computer laboratories.The peak of his school career came not when he topped the school but when he was selected for the nationwide competition. Unlike everyone else, Nigel wanted to join the contest because he liked playing with the Lego sets
36、and making something out of them. Nigel spent the next two months rebuilding his robot. It was during the time that Nigel found out about the prizes for the competition as well as another competitor, Alicia, from a neighboring school. His early intentions were forgotten. Getting the thousand-dollar
37、prize was more important than anything else. Nigel decided to befriend Alicia. Unaware of his intentions, she told him all about the robot that she had been building for the competition. He even helped her to put the finishing branches to her robot. He was glad with the way things had progressed. Hi
38、s robot looked even better than Alicias and it was able to bounce a ball with its arm, something Alicia had failed to do.On the day of the competition, he saw Alicia. Everything dawned on her the minute she saw him among the competitors. She stared at him, puzzled at first, then angry and finally a
39、look of helplessness came over her.The flashbulbs of the camera exploded in Nigels face. The robot had performed actions so unique and different that the specialists judgments were the same.
