24、   If you’re riding in the car on the way home from school or soccer practice, does the sight of fast food restaurant signs make you hungry for a cheeseburger, some French fries or a piece of pizza?

Think about some of the signs for the most popular fast food restaurants. What do the signs for McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Dairy Queen and Pizza Hut have in common? They all make prominent (突出的) use of two colors: red and yellow.

Could it be that these colors — red and yellow — make you hungry and want to stop for fast food? Although it might sound crazy, that's exactly what some scientists believe. The idea even has a name: the ketchup (番茄酱) and mustard (芥末) theory.

Scientists also point out that studies show that color gets communicated to the brain faster than any other type of communication. For example, experts believe that the color red inspires feelings of warmth, comfort and love. Similarly, yellow draws feelings of happiness, excitement and cheer.

Researchers believe that these colors, especially when used on fast food restaurant signs, create the perfect feelings to make us feel hungry and want to stop to eat.

Other scientists,however,disagree with the ketchup and mustard theory and point out that there isn't enough scientific data (数据) to support the theory. They think that feelings of happiness and excitement connected with the colors red and yellow aren't necessarily equal to hunger.

While the science of colors and their exact influence on us may be uncertain, it’s clear that fast food restaurants believe that in some way, it is good for them to include red and yellow on their signs. Do these colors make us hungry? Maybe ... or perhaps it’s our own happy memories of delicious cheeseburgers, salty French fries and ice- cold sodas that keep us coming back for more!

【1】Why does the writer ask the question in Paragraph 1?

A.To know when people will feel hungry.

B.To ask people to take part in the research.

C.To get people into the topic of the passage.

D.To find what fast food restaurant sign is the most popular.

【2】What common point do most fast food restaurants share?

A.They provide similar foods. B.Their foods are in red and yellow.

C.Their signs include red and yellow. D.Their foods are the favorite of people.

【3】According to Paragraph 4, some scientists believe that ________.

A.people cannot refuse to enjoy fast food B.colors can make communication easier

C.people use colors to express their feelings D.colors have influences on our feelings

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Colors are important to fast food restaurants. B.It’s uncertain whether colors make us hungry.

C.We need to study the science of colors. D.Delicious food can leave us good memories.

25、The word “chicken” is used in so many English idioms. Do you know the following?

Don’t count your chickens before they hatch The expression “Don’t count your chickens before they hatch” means “Don’t expect that all your eggs, which have been laid, will hatch.” “Hatch” is a verb, meaning the baby chicken breaks open the shell of the egg and comes out successfully. So the expression mainly means “Don’t depend on things working out just as you want them to.” this saying appears in the story The Milkmaid and Her Pail in Aesop’s Fables.

A chicken-and-egg situation

In history, philosophers(哲学家) and scientists have met this dilemma(困境): Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Aristotle thought that both the bird and the egg must have always been there. However, more recently, scientists such as Stephen Hawking have argued that the egg came before the chicken. In common speech, the term “a chicken-and-egg situation” means “a situation where it is impossible to say which of two things appeared first and which caused the other one.”

Don’t be such a chicken

There seems to be an idea in English, somehow, that a chicken is a scared bird. Maybe that’s not fair as most birds will probably fly away from you if you go towards them. But “Don’t be such a chicken” means “Don’t be so scared and get a bit more courage.” So if your friend to do something, you can say to him or her, “Don’t be such a chicken. Just have a try!”

【1】The underlined word “hatch” means “________” in Chinese.

A. 孵化 B. 长大 C. 破碎 D. 出售

【2】We may say “don’t be such a chicken” to someone when he _________.

A. is good at math

B. has difficulty making a choice

C. hopes things will work out just as he wants

D. is not brave enough to do something

【3】Which idiom can be used when we can’t make a cause-and-effect relationship clear?

A. Don’t count your chickens before they hatch.

B. Chicken feed.

C. A chicken-and-egg situation.

D. Chicken out.

【4】What does the writer think of the idioms?

A. Interesting. B. Terrible. C. Meaningless. D. Useless.

【5】The passage is probably from the section of ________ in a newspaper.

A. health B. geography C. nature D. culture

26、   Earlier this school year, a yoga room opened up in our school for students to use as one of their subjects for a relaxing activity. My classmates and I decided that we were going to test it out and see if it was good or not. We signed up in the dinning hall so we could go.

When we walked into the classroom, we were shocked to see how many yoga mats (垫) there were! We all took off our shoes and picked yoga mats that were next to each other. Then, the yoga teacher put on some relaxing music and we started.

First, we sat in either the half lotus, full lotus, or Indian style poses. Half lotus is one leg over the other. Full lotus is both legs over each other. And Indian style is crisscrossed (十字交叉) legs.

If we felt full of energy, we would put our hands down during our pose. If we felt tired, we put our hands up. Then, we did sun salutations (拜日式). One example of this is when you put your hands together and welcome others to do yoga with you. Finally, we did a couple of other yoga poses together. One pose was the downward dog. The yoga pose made me think of dogs.

We all enjoyed this activity. We’ve gone back to the classroom several times since then. It’s a nice way to take a break in the middle of a busy school day.
