Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people
15、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 co
16、ol 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 col
17、ors 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 relaxing 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
18、 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 o
19、f cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow. （8）Whichofthefollowingcolorsbelongtocoolcolors?A.Yellow, green.B.Blue, violet.C.Black, blue.D.Brown, white. （9）Whichofthefollowingstatementsisnottrue?A.Sociablepeoplelikewarmcolors.B.Warmcolors

Naturally, you will not read every book at the same speed. You would expect to rea
22、d a newspaper, for example, much faster than a physics or economics textbookbut you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with. The reading passages which foll
23、ow are all of an average level of difficulty for your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks an
24、d the much less demanding kind you will find in a newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim（浏览）through a newspaper at perhaps 650-700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred an
25、d fifty. Perhaps you would like to know what reading speeds are common among native English-speaking university students and how those speeds can be improved. Tests in Minnesota, USA, for example, have shown that students without special training can read English of average difficulty, for example,
26、Tolstoys War and Peace in translation, at speeds of between 240 and 250 words per minute with about seventy percent comprehension. Students in Minnesota claim that after twelve half-hour lessons, once a week, the reading speed can be increased, with no loss of comprehension, to around five hundred w
