The passage above is probably_.A. a piece of news B. a conversation C. a story D. an advertisementBPeople have been interested in color and its effects for hundreds of years. More recently, research has turned to the question of how different colors can help students learn better. Believe it or not, some colors can affect a child's IQ（智商）. For example, a simple black and white color scheme may cause IQ to become low, while the good use of reds and oranges may raise it as much as 15 points. Be careful not to use too much, however; a little red is exciting, but too much makes people uncomfortable. Bright yellow is exciting to the brain, while the color green is thought to encourage creativity. Use blue and green to calm yourself. Blue, especially, can cause you to calm down. Something blue in a reading area, for example, may help you focus（集中于） on what you are reading. But too much dark blue can make you sad, so use light blue on walls or large floor areas. If you are struggling to read, try a different color ofpaper. According to a study, 80 percent of children who had difficulty in reading improved their understanding when they put something grey or blue over their pages. Do not use bright colors here, as they become difficult to look at afier a while. However, use bright colors like red, orange and yellow for important points. These colors attract the eye and may help you notice details. The same color of the walls of a room do not help you focus on your studies, but make you slow in understanding. Colors, on the other hand, make the senses active and encourage learning. Use primary colors red, yellow and blue in a proper way. Then how do you make your choices of color? It mainly depends on（取决于）your space, the lighting and the function (功能) of the room.49. The color grey may help you_. A. read better B. calm down C. raise IQ D. feel creative50. If you want to remember some important points, you may use the colors_. A. green and blue B. grey and blue C. red and yellow D. black and white51. Which is the most important when you choose the color for your room?A. Your IQ and abilities. B. The use of your room.C. Your likes and dislikes. D. The location of your room.52. Which might be the proper title for the passage? A. What should we learn about colors? B. Why are people interested in colors? C. Where should we be careful with colors? D. How do colors affect our learning abilities?C Mr Swales wanted to find out what his students' parents did. He had just called Jodie when some girls burst out laughing. Shirley shouted, "Jodie's Daddy is a Garbageman(垃圾清理工)！" Everybody in the class laughed out loud, except Jodie. She felt her face turn red. "Silence!" Mr Swales said, "Being a garbagemen is a difficult and useful job. We should all be grateful to Jodie's father." Jodie's father came to walk her home from school as usual, but she didn't run up to him the way she always did. When they got back home, Jodie went to her room and cried for a long time. Her father came into her room, "What happened, Jodie? Why are you so sad?" Jodie told her father what had happened and looked at him. He didn't seem angry or hurt. "Well," he said, "they are right. Being a garbageman is a dirty job. Tomorrow's Saturday. Come to work with me, Jodie." The place really smell too good. Jodie wrinkled her nose. "Don't worry, kid. In five minutes you won't smell a thing." said her father. Everybody there was working hard, and they seemed to have a good time. Jodie's father handed her a pair of gloves(手套) and told her to get the little plastic bags and throw them into the truck. It was fun, but also hard work. Jodie's arms soon got tired. At last, no more garbage was left and Jodie felt very happy. "Garbage is disgusting(令人厌的), but when we clear it away, everything's nice and clean. You can make yourself happy only by making others happy. That's why I like being a garbageman so much." Jodie gave her dirty, smelly garbageman daddy a big kiss, She said, "When I grow up, I will be a garbagegirl!" Now whenever someone asks Jodie what her daddy does, she says, "He's a garbageman! Everybody makes garbage, but my daddy takes it away!"53. What happened in My Swale's class? A. He wanted to show what job was the most useful. B. He asked an improper question. C.

To help Jodie learn about his job. D. To keep Jodie away from her classmates.55. Jodie gave her father a big kiss mainly because_. A. he was practical B. he was unselfish C. he was cheerful D. he was hard-working56. How does Jodie feel about her father now? A. Sad B. Curious C. Shy D. ProudD Napping(小睡) after learning something new could help improve your memoryas long as you dream, scientists say. They found people who dream about a new task do it better on waking than those who do not sleep or do not dream. Volunteers were asked to learn the layout(设计) of a 3D computer maze(迷宫) so they could find their way several hours later. Those allowed to take a nap and who also remembered dreaming of the task, found their way to a landmark (地标) quicker. The researchers think the dreams are a sign that unconscious(无意识的) parts of the brain are working hard to process information about the task. Dr. Robert Stickgold of Harvard Medical School, said dreams may be a marker that the brain is working on the same problem at many levels. Study tips Co-author Dr. Erin Wamsley said the study suggests our non-conscious brain works on the things that it deem(认为) are the most important. "Every day we are gathering lots of information and new experiences," she said. "It would seem that our dreams are asking the question, "How do I use th
