21、What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer graysand blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.

A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress rings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey .

Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a few colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character when you choose a piece of handkerchief.

A．one can choose his color preference

B．one is born with his color preference

C．one’s color preference is changeable

D．one’s color preference has something to do with his character and colors have effects on human beings

22、Researchers have found multilingualism(多语言能力)is good for economy. Countries which actively encourage the development of different languages gain a range of rewards，from   more successful exports to a more creative workforce.

“Language matters on a larger national level and at the level ot smaller companies，” said Hogan-Brun，a researcher in language study. Switzerland，for example，owes 10% of its GDP to its multilingual background. The country has four national languages. Britain，on the other hand，is thought to lose about 3.5％of its GDP every year since 95％of its population speaks English，which is the primary language of the country.

What Hogan-Brun said is reasonable. Languages partly can help build trade relations. A study of small and medium-sized companies in Sweden and Germany found that those that invested more in languages were able to export more goods. German companies that invested heavily in multilingual staff added 10 export countries to their markets. Companies that invested less said they missed out on business deals.

Researchers have also long stressed the individual benefits of speaking more than one   language. Several studies show that languages help promote earning power. According to a   Canadian study，women and men who can speak several languages earn 3.6％and 6.6％more   than their English-only colleagues respectively. The twist：This is true even if they don’t use   their second language for work. “It seems that you don’t have to actually speak a second   language on the job to receive the financial rewards，”said an economics professor. He thought   that this was because knowing a second language was seen as a sign of power. Beyond these，   immediate economic rewards，languages can help a country’s workforce in long-term ways. Multilingualism has been shown to delay memory loss. It has also been associated with a better ability to concentrate and process information.

【1】What can multilingual countries expect?

A．Large numbers of imported goods.

B．New chances of developing education.

C．Productive workers with great creativity.

D．Powerful comprehensive natmnal power.

【2】Why does the author list the statistics in paragraph 2?

A．European countries are rich.

B．Language research is important.

C．The number of English speakers is increasing.

D．Multilingualism can promote national economic growth.

【3】What does the author intend to do in paragraph 3 ?

A．Add some forecast intormation.

B．Support Hogan-Brun’s viewpoint.

C．Introduce a new topic for discussion.

D．Give some advice to small companies.

【4】What can we learn from the text?

A．Women learn more languages than men.

B．bood native language is a sign of power.

C．Being multilingual benefits brain health.

D．Canadians prefer using their second language.

23、Brown noise is one classification of noise “color”. Each color represents long-lasting patterns of noise frequencies that we can hear, ranging from 20 to 20,000 hertz.

“White noise has equal energy at all frequencies. To us, it sounds like radio static,” explains Anahita Mehta, a researcher who studies sound pitch at the Kresge Hearing Research Institute at the University of Michigan. “Pink noise has more energy in low frequency ranges compared to the high ranges. It sounds lower than white noise. Examples would be rainfall or traffic.”

Then, there’s brown noise. It’s technically classified as red noise, but the nickname comes from the way it’s produced: Its sound signals change randomly to produce the sound of static, imitating a type of unsteady movement pattern, called Brownian motion. “Brown noise has even fewer high frequencies than white or pink noise, and you’ll recognize it as a lower sound,” Mehta says. “Examples would be the deep roar of an ocean wave crashing or thunder rolling.”

Although brown noise is the latest trend to make its way onto social media, scientists can only speculate about its benefits. Very little evidence exists on the effect of brown noise, and the proof that is available has included only small groups of participants for short periods of time. But there’s a growing interest to see if brown noise might help health.

Researchers suspect that brown noise may help produce the relaxation response in some people.“Maybe you find it relaxing to hear the sounds of the sea, so if you listen to brown noise that sounds like waves crashing, and it helps you, that’s great – as long as you’re listening at a low volume,” Mehta says. “However, there’s no strong evidence that listening to brown noise reduces stress.”

Despite the suspected promise of brown noise, researchers are also concerned about its potential harms.

【1】What are examples of brown noise?

A．Rainfall and traffic.

B．Radio static and ocean waves.

C．Dogs barking and birds twittering.

D．Thunder rolling and waves crashing.

【2】What does the underlined word “speculate” mean in paragraph 4?

A．Identify.

B．Imagine.

C．Picture.

D．Guess.

【3】What can be discussed after the last paragraph?

A．The investigations on effects of brown noise.

B．The tips on producing the relaxation response.

C．The evidence on health benefits of brown noise.

D．The examples of damage caused by brown noise.

【4】What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A．What Is Brown Noise and What Are the Benefits?

B．The Scientific Theory Behind Brown Noise

C．How Brown Noise Affects Brain Health?

D．Different Noises, Different Colors
