22、Bright colors lead to active feelings. For example, the color red can cause people to feel excited. In fact, red can even make a person feel hungrier. Yellow can increase energy. Therefore, a room with strong red and yellow colors would be a good place to eat a lot of food quickly.

On the other hand, darker colors, like blue and green are peaceful. The color blue can help people calm (使平静下来) down. So, a blue room can be a good place to study. However, it is easier to nod off in a blue room than in a red one. So some good ways can be used to avoid falling asleep easily.

The colors of clothes can also influence people’s feelings. Black and deep-blue clothes can produce a sense of strength and seriousness. Therefore, a person in a black suit can seem like a leader more easily than one wearing white. If a person is wearing a dark suit and a red tie, he or she may seem both powerful and energetic (精力充沛的). Perhaps this is why many business people wear dark suits with red ties. Brown and green clothes can produce a sense of confidence (自信). That means it may seem easier to trust the people wearing such colors. Therefore, many people choose to wear green or brown clothes for meetings or interviews.

Choice of color, for rooms as well as clothes, is not simply about appearance.

【1】Where might red work properly according to the passage?

A．In the library.

B．In the restaurant.

C．In the police station.

D．In the classroom.

A．睡着

B．沉默

C．生病

D．进步

【4】Why do people usually wear green or brown clothes for meetings according to the text?

A．Because it makes them happy.

B．Because it makes them more careful.

C．Because it shows that they take the meetings seriously.

D．Because it shows that they’re confident.

23、   What makes a person a giver or taker? The idea “give vs. take” takes shape in all interactions (互动) and relationships of our lives. We’re either giving advice, making time for people, or we’re on the receiving end. We keep changing between the two based on different situations on a daily basis, if not an hourly one.

According to Adam Grant, a professor at the University of Pennsylvania, most people are matchers. They make careful observations on takers and make it a point for them to pay something back. They hate to see people who act so generously towards others not receive any rewards. Actually, most matchers will try hard to promote and support givers so that they can get the good they deserve.

Is there a gender factor (性别因素) that plays a part in this?

A study led by Hannah Riley Bowles, a professor at Harvard University, focused on this question. She asked 200 senior managers to sit down in pairs where one person would act as the boss and the other as an employee to discuss salary promotions. Male “employees” asked for an average salary of $146k while the females asked for only $141k. But why did they not bargain as hard as the men? Simply because they were more likely to be givers.

As a woman, I do enjoy the act of giving up my time, my knowledge, and my care and my attention to others. I don’t expect anything in return, but I do tend to pull myself away when I feel like I’m being taken for granted. I also tend to get upset when I see a loved one’s continuous actions of kindness go unnoticed. So, it’s safe to say I’m 50% giver, 35% matcher and 15% taker.

I do know someone, however, who is 99% giver. They’re constantly devoting their time, sharing valuable insights (洞察力) and going out of their way for everyone who crosses their path. Although they’re changed the lives of many people, they rarely see any of it returned. But the universe is slowly repaying them; they’re now extremely successful, well known for what they do.

【1】We can learn from the first paragraph that ________.

A. most people think they are givers

B. people are not always givers or takers

C. an individual is born to be a giver or a taker

D. few differences exist between givers and takers

【2】In Adam Grant’s opinion, most people ________.

A. hate takers B. prefer giving to taking

C. enjoy relying on themselves D. balance giving and taking

【3】Hannah’s study focused on ________.

A. the role of giving and taking in jobs

B. the gender difference in giving and taking

C. the role of men and women in society

D. the salary difference between women and men

【4】The author tends to ________.

A. think acts of kindness should be valued

B. expect something in return for giving most of the time

C. take giving for granted

D. be a complete matcher

【5】What can be inferred from the last paragraph?

A. Giving is the shortest path to success.

B. Sharing is the greatest human quality.

C. No good deed goes undone.

D. Givers are worth respecting.

24、   CHINADAILY—In 2011, scientists moved eight Rothschild's giraffes to Longicharo Island. They hoped it would save the endangered animals from hunters and allow their numbers to increase. However, the large amount of rain in August 2020 caused the lake water level to rise, cutting the area off from the mainland and reducing the once 100-acre habitat to about 8 acres, which made it necessary to relocate（转移）the animals to a safer habitat.

In December 2020, the rescuers teamed up with UK -based non-profit organization Save Giraffes Now to construct a barge（驳船）, which is designed and built specifically to carry tall, heavy giraffes. It floats atop a series of empty drums with its sides made higher to keep the animals from jumping out as the barge was gently pulled by boats.

Their first giraffe to be saved was Asiwa, who was trapped alone with no food sources. However, making the gentle giant get on the barge was not easy. The giraffes don't know that you're trying to help them," O'Connor, president of Save Giraffes Now, says. "They think you'll hurt them. So they're really trying to work against you, which makes it even harder."

After several attempts to lead Asiwa on board the barge with treats failed, the scientists had no choice but to sedate（注射镇定剂）her. While it's often used to transport large animals, it is not the preferred method for giraffes since the change in blood pressure could damage their brains.

To prevent any accidents, the rescuers gave the giraffe a light sedative and then quickly guided her onto the barge. To ensure Asiwa would not frighten, they covered her head with a hood and put socks in her ears to block out sound. "The wonderful part was watching her gently walk off the boat once the hood was removed as if nothing had happened," said photographer Ami Vitale.

Weather permitting, the rescuers hope to relocate the island's remaining seven giraffes by March 2021 to the 44, 000-acre Ruko Community Wildlife Conservancy. Once we rescue them, that's not the end of it," O'Connor says. "That's actually just the beginning of trying to repopulate the entire Western Rift Valley with this type of giraffe, where they became locally extinct 70 years ago."

【1】What might directly cause the relocating of the giraffes?

A．A heavy rain.

B．The killing from hunters.

C．A smaller habitat.

D．The construction of a barge.

【2】What can be inferred from the text?

A．A sedative would frighten giraffes.

B．It took efforts to relocate Asiwa.

C．Asiwa readily followed the rescuers' orders.

D．The rescuers managed to save all the giraffes.

【3】What is the text mainly about?

A．Rothschild's giraffes lost their habitat.

B．Why it was difficult to transport the giraffes.

C．Rescuers moved Rothschild's giraffes to safety.

D．How the rescuers got the giraffe onto the barge.

【4】Where is the text probably taken from?

A．A news story.

B．A research report.

C．A biology book.

D．A pet magazine.

25、An Effective Commercial

I have to admit that I rarely watch commercials, since most of them are boring and stupid. When watching commercials, we are “learning” that consumption makes us happy and that we need to buy everything. This really makes me _________. Recently, however, a commercial for a major retail (零售) store got my attention

A young lady is talking over the phone to her family right before Christmas. She is upset because she won’t be with them for the holidays. I believe she is talking to her mother, who asks her if she has received the _________ that were sent to her. The young lady _________ that she hasn’t, and the mother expresses concern that they should have arrived by now. The mother suggests that she check the doorstep. At this point, the young lady opens her front door, and _________ there is her family on the doorstep. They have come to celebrate the Christmas season with her.

This is where I got _________. What a surprise! This has never happened to me, but I can _________ how wonderful it would be. The holidays are a good time to _________ connections and renew relationships among family members. People can communicate with each other and _________ a sense of belonging. So once again I am reminded that the best Christmas gifts are not the ones you buy in the retail store. They are gifts of love, family and time spent together happily.

Commercials can _________ the audience if they are made effectively. A good commercial for me is when I can forget that it is a commercial for something I have to buy and instead __________ it with an experience in my own life or the lives of others.
