It can influence our choice of purchase when we go shopping and can also affect the way we look and feel. A person can be naturally attracted to one parti
34、cular color while finding another color repulsive. The influence of color on human emotions and feelings is very powerful and designers, advertisers, artists and even doctors use it in their professions for different purposes.Every day, without even thinking about it, we use color to communicate our
35、 feelings. For example, the color we choose to wear is one way of expressing ourselves. It says something about the person, how he or she feels, and how he or she wants others to feel about the wearer. In other words, color talks.A person who wants to appear stylish and mature will usually wear dark
36、 colors or black. A person who wishes to appear youngish, pure and innocent dresses in white, like the choice of a brides wedding gown. Also clothed in white are doctors, dentists, nurses and hospital in-patients as the color expresses comfort, cleanliness and professionalism. Brown, blue or grey cl

38、y popular with actresses, singers and party goers.In the past, common people were not allowed to wear certain colors.

41、color for _.A. comfort B. professionalism C. purity D. youthCIve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction（差别）and one practice that has helped my writing processes greatly. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind.
42、While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us meet with. If you are listening to that 5th grade English tea
43、cher correct your grammar while you are trying to seize a fleeting(稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing t
44、he tool for thinking that it is.The practice that can help you pass your learned bad habits of trying to edit as you write is what Elbow calls “free writing”. In free writing, the objective is to get words down on paper non-stop, usually for 15-20 minutes. No stopping, no going back, no criticizing.
45、 The goal is to get the words flowing. As the words begin to flow, the ideas will come from the shadows and let themselves be captured on your notepad or your screen.Now you have raw materials that you can begin to work with using the critical mind that youve persuaded to sit on the side and watch q
46、uietly. Most likely, you will believe that this will take more time than you actually have and you will end up staring blankly at the pages as the deadline draws near.Instead of staring at a blank screen start filling it with words no matter how bad. Halfway through your available time, stop and rew
47、ork your raw writing into something closer to finished product. Move back and forth until you run out of time and the final result will most likely be far better than your current practices.63. When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 4, Para. 1) i
48、n the writing process, he means _.A. no one can be both creative and criticalB. they cannot be regarded as equally importantC. they are in constant conflict with each otherD. one cannot use them at the same time64. What prevents people from writing on is _.A. putting their ideas in raw form B. attem
49、pting to edit as they writeC. ignoring grammatical soundness D. trying to capture fleeting thoughts65. What is the chief objective of the first stage of writing?A. To organize ones thoughts logically. B. To choose an appropriate topic.C. To get ones ideas down. D. To collect raw materials.66. One co
50、mmon concern of writers about “free writing” is that _.A. it overstresses the role of the creative mind B. it takes too much time to edit afterwardsC. it may bring about too much criticism D. it does not help them to think clearly67. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. It introduces the authors wr
51、iting method. B. It tells us something about the creative mind. C. It highlights (强调) the importance of critical mind. D. It shows the difficulties to write on the fly.DMuch as Robby tried, he lacked the sense of tone and basic rhythm (节奏). But he dutifully reviewed his lessons. Over the months he t
52、ried and tried, and often repeating to me “My moms going to hear me play some day.”But he seemed hopeless, with no born ability. A real bad advertisement for my teaching! I was so happy when one day he stopped coming.Several weeks later my students are to have a recital (演奏会). To my surprise, Robby
53、came, asking to play in the recital.“But, it is for current pupils, you dropped.”“My mom was sick. But I have been practicing. Ive just got to play!”I dont know what led me to agree, maybe .The recital came. I put Robby up last to play before my “curtain closer”, by which, I could save the recital i
54、f The recital went off well. Robby came up on stage, clothes wrinkled and his hair looked like hed run an egg-beater through it. “How could his mom ?” Robby pulled out the piano bench and began. It was Mozarts work! I was not prepared for what I heard next. Like in a dream, I was then woken up by th
55、e wild applause, everybody was on their feet! “Ive never heard you play like that Robby! Howd you do it?” Through the microphone Robby explained: “Well, Miss Hondorf, remember I told you my mom was sick? Actually she had cancer and died this morning. She was born deaf, tonight was the first time she

Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good cash to get their children the best music teaching the
60、y can afford?The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a persons IQ over time. Different instruments and different trypes of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out o
61、n top, potentially increasing you IQ by up to 12 points!When is a good time to start learning music? Experts have found that even the fetus（胎儿）can benefit from listening to classical music.

Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional（成比例的）to the amount of practicing.Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shinichi Suzuki proposes that
63、 music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be “unmusical”.

64、ning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as an added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels.

69、文，根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填一个单词。For thousands of years , the most important two buildings in any British village have been the church and the pub. In fact，until a place has a church and a pub，it isn t really considered a community worthy of a name. Traditionally，the church and the pub are at t
70、he heart of any village or town, since it is where people gather to give and receive news. In fact, the word pub is short for public house.Thats how it used to be, but things are beginning to change. It is said that the credit decline is causing 39 British pubs a week to go out of business. People d

Pr
72、eviously，with 11 p. m. as closing time，customers would have to drink quite quickly，meaning they sometimes got more drunk than they would if allowed to drink slowly. The British habit of drinking a lot very quickly is known as，binge drinking (狂饮)，and it causes some long - term health problems for peo

The UK government is changing the law to discourage binge drinking, and regularly spends money on television advertisements to warn people of the problems of drinking too much.In order to save their businesses, pubs are trying to change with the m
74、arket. Now, there are a number of different types of pubs.As you can see, British pubs now offer something for everyone. A lot of pubs used to be working men s clubs, meaning that women could not usually enter. Today, however, women can freely enter 99% of pubs without experiencing any problems. Per
