The surgeon was asked to go there at once to operate on a very sick boy who shot himself while playing with a gun.The doctor was soon on his way to Clens Falls. It was 60 miles away. And it was snowing heavily in the city. The surgeon thought he could get there before 12 oclock.A few minutes later, the doctor was stopped by a man in an old black coat. Gun in hand, the man ordered the doctor to get out. Then the man drove the car down the road, leaving the doctor in the falling snow.It was after 2 oclock in the morning when the doctor arrived at the hospital in Clens Falls. Dr. Haydon told him that the boy had died an hour before.The two doctors walked by the door of the hospital waiting room. There sat the man in the old black coat with his head in his hands.“Mr. Cuninghan, said Dr. Haydon to the man, “This is Dr. Eyck.

Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are talking or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow. 60. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors? A. Yellow, green. B. Blue, violet. C. Black, blue. D. Brown, white. 61. Which of the following statements is not true? A. Sociable people like warm colors. B. Warm colors can make people excited. C. People who like to be with others dont like red. D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active. 62. Which is the right color for different rooms? A. Red or orange for offices. B. Orange for dining-rooms. C. Blue for bedrooms. D. Red for studies. 63. What is the main idea of the last paragraph? A. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool. B. Warm colors remind people of warm days. C. Cool colors remind people of cool days. D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors. CWe know that many animals do not stay in one place. Birds, fish and other animals move from one place to another at a certain time. They move for different reasons: most of them move to find food more easily, but others move to get away from places that are too crowded.     When cold weather comes, many birds move to warmer places to find food. Some fishes give birth in warm water and move to cold water to feed. The most famous migration(迁移) is probably the migration of the fish, which is called “salmon. This fish is born in fresh water but it travels many miles to salt water. There it spends its life. When it is old, it returns to its birthplace in fresh water. Then it gives birth and dies there. In northern Europe, there is a kind of mouse. They leave their mountain homes when they become too crowded. They move down to the low land. Sometimes they move all the way to the seaside, and many of them are killed when they fall into the sea.     Recently, scientists have studied the migration of a kind of lobster(龙虾). Every year, when the season of bad weather arrives, the lobster get into a long line and start to walk across the floor of the ocean. Nobody knows why they do this, and nobody knows where they go.     So, sometimes we know why humans and animals move from one place to another, but at other times we dont. Maybe living things just like travel.64. Most animals move from one place to another at a certain time to _.    A.  find food more easily                B. enjoy warmer weather    C. give birth         D. find beautiful places65. The mice in northern Europe move when _.    A. they need fresh water    B. the weather is bad    C. the place gets too crowded       D. they havent enough food66. This passage is mainly about _.    A. why animals move from one place to another    B. how animals can find food easily    C. new discoveries of animals traveling    D. some problems with traveling     DMillions of girls grow up w
