21、 Few people would name their favorite color as gray or cream, yet our homes are often filled with these neutral tones. When I studied color and its effect on joy, I wondered: Why is there such a gap between the colors that make us feel energetic, and the colors that surround us?
“Chromophobia,” was the immediate answer I received when I posed this question to Peter Stamberg and Paul Aferiat, architects of Saguaro Hotel in California. “People are afraid of color. It’s the fear of making a choice, of making a mistake and having to live with it.”
I could relate. I used to be such a person, so afraid of color that the spectrum of my entire apartment fell between white and cream. Then one day I moved into another apartment—everything was to my taste except that the walls were a buttery yellow which gave me an urge to repaint it. But something funny happened. Each day I’d come home to that apartment, it felt like the sun was shining, even in the dead of winter. In ever again thought about repainting after the first week.
If you’d like a more energized space, experts agree the best first step is to start with white walls, bringing color into the space through furniture and decorative objects. This approach of using tiny bursts of bright color can be an appealing strategy for people who are afraid of color and it’s surprisingly effective.
It takes a little practice to become confident with color, especially when it comes to putting different ones together. But here’s a clever shortcut for finding joyful combinations. Once, when Stamberg and Aferiat were stuck on choosing a color for a house they were designing, they turned to painter David Hockney who suggested, “Look at Matisse.” Not only did the brilliant paintings of Henri Matisse inspire them to choose the right blue, but they also began to use this approach with clients. When people see striking colors coexisting kindly on a canvas, it gives them confidence that they will also work in their homes.
【1】What does the underlined word “Chromophobia” in Paragraph 2 refer to?
A．A mental state of fearing color.
B．A social phenomenon of rejecting changes.
C．An attitude to pursuing a simple lifestyle.
D．An awareness of making the right choice.
【2】How did the author feel about the walls after he moved into another apartment?
A．Depressed.
B．Calm.
C．Dissatisfied.
D．In different.
【3】How can people create a more energized home?
A．By painting the wall colorful.
B．By hanging a painting of Matisse.
C．By relying on a good decoration company.
D．By putting in some bright-colored furniture.
【4】What’s the main purpose of the text?
A．To present the findings of a study on joy.
B．To explain the relationship between color and joy.
C．To uncover the reasons why people prefer mild colors.
D．To encourage people to live happier with bright colors.
22、As a financial adviser, my clients come to me seeking help with growing their wealth. Perhaps the greatest lesson I share is that being rich isn’t a dollar amount; it is a perception that includes happiness, peace of mind, comfort and security. There’s a big difference between being wealthy and feeling wealthy.
Actually, one of the best ways I advise others in building their wealth is this: The secret to having more is giving more. Studies have shown that people who volunteer weekly exhibit an increase in happiness. Donating your time makes you grateful for all that you have, and you’ll have the unmatched joy and excitement of knowing you made a huge impact for the good of others.
Volunteering enables you to increase your relationship skills and encourages you to have conversations with people from very different walks of life. You can even make new friends. It is also a wonderful activity that families can do together. This has the added benefit of serving as a good role model to your children. I am encouraging my kids to volunteer and experience the power of love for themselves.
Without fail, every time I volunteer, I have conversations that change my life in some way. I was once volunteering at a local shelter and struck up a conversation with other volunteers. As we chatted, we all suddenly realized: The massive gratitude of those receiving help acted like a nuclear bomb going off in our hearts, and it also touched the other volunteers, making us all realize how truly blessed we are.
Giving our time, money and energy gives us a sense of achievement like nothing else. If “wealth” really is a perception of happiness, comfort and security, we must learn to get outside our own experience and understand what wealth means to other people.
【1】What is the author’s understanding of wealth?
A．It is more of a state of mind.
B．It gives one the duty to help others.
C．It has something to do with finance.

【2】What makes a person appreciate what he has already owned?
A．Winning people’s recognition.
B．Spending time helping others.
C．Making a deep impression on others.
D．Improving one’s interpersonal skills.
【3】What is paragraph 3 mainly about?
A．Benefits of volunteering.
B．Parents’ roles in a family.
C．Importance of social skills.
D．Ways of being a volunteer.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．A Road to Real Wealth in Life
B．A Lesson in Wealth Management
C．A Different Way to Pursue Happiness
D．A Life-changing Volunteering Experience

24、It's rare that you see the words "shyness" and "leader" in the same sentence. After all, the common viewpoint is that those outgoing and sociable guys make great public speakers and excellent net-workers and that those shy people are not. A survey conducted by USA Today referred to 65 percent of executives who believed shyness to be a barrier to leadership. Interestingly, the same article stresses that roughly 40 percent of leaders actually are quite shy—they're just better at adapting themselves to situational demands. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet and Charles Schwab are just a few "innies".
Unlike their outgoing counterparts who are more sensitive to rewards and risk-taking, shy people take a cautious approach to chance. Rather than the flashy chit-chat that defines social gathering, shy people listen attentively to what others say and absorb it before they speak. They're not thinking about what to say while the other person is still talking, but rather listening so they can learn what to say. Along the same lines, shy people share a common love of learning. They are intrinsically（内在地） motivated and therefore seek content regardless of achieving an outside standard.
Being shy can also bring other benefits. Remember being in school and hearing the same kids contribute, until shy little Johnny, who almost never said a word, cut in? Then what happened? Everyone turned around to look with great respect at little Johnny actually talking. This is how shy people made good use of their power of presence: they "own" the moment by speaking calmly and purposefully, which translate to a positive image.
Shyness is often related to modesty. Not to say that limelight-seekers aren't modest, but shy people tend to have an accurate sense of their abilities and achievements. As a result, they are able to acknowledge mistakes, imperfections, knowledge gaps and limitations.
Since shy people have a lower sensitivity to outside rewards than outgoing ones, they're more comfortable working with little information and sticking to their inner desires. Shy people are also more likely to insist on finding solutions that aren't primarily apparent. Don't believe me? Maybe you'll believe Albert Einstein, who once said, "It's not that I'm so smart, it's that I stay with problems longer." Obviously, finding certainty where uncertainty is typically popular is a huge plus for any successful person.
The myth that shy people are less effective leaders than their outgoing fellows is just a misunderstanding. Make wise use of your personality strengths to lead your business no matter what side of the range you fall on.

A．shy people are sensitive to rewards
