26、 The best colors for advertising are those that make people comfortable or stimulate (激发） their senses; knowing which color does that depends on what is being advertised.In general, color schemes (调配）contain three kinds: warm, cool and black and white.
Warm Colors
Bright red, orange, and yellow are warm colors, and they stimulate excitement.In fact, all advertisements and menus of fast food chains feature these colors.Warm colors are some of the best colors for advertising food as they are known to increase the appetite.
A color scheme that includes warm colors also encourages people to stay longer.These colors stimulate warmth and comfort，and when people relax over dinner，they are more likely to enjoy a dessert or a cup of coffee, thus spending more money.
Cool Colors
Besides knowledge and understanding，some shades of blue are also associated with quiet.As a result，blue can actually slow a person's heart rate (比率)and reduce appetite，which is why it's not often chosen for restaurant advertising.On the other hand, blue is one of the best colors for advertising medicine and other health products. Light blue can have a calming effect on people and it is most often linked with health and healing(治愈）.However, it has been debated whether or not blue is one of the best colors for advertising online.Some people think it does not catch the readers attention fast enough or often enough.
Black and White
Black and white can be two of the best colors for advertising because they create a strong contrast when paired together.Black and white often indicate opposite emotions (情绪）：white is often linked with purity and perfection, while black usually represents power, eleganc-e, or evil (邪恶).When used together, however, black and white can create a sense that a company is highly professional (专业的）.
【1】What influence do warm colors have on the people eating in a restaurant?

【3】Why are black and white considered as two of the best colors for advertising?
A.They are people's favourite colors.
B.They are pure and perfect colors.
C.They make people think highly of the products.

27、 Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently.【1】
First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. 【2】 What you need to do is find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students.You can download The RealPlayer from the Internet. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.
Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (受阻) by limited understanding. 【3】
Here is some of the advice I give my students:
·Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.
·Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.
·Do not translate everything into your native language.
·【4】Don’t concentrate on details until you have understood the main ideas.
·Listen to something you enjoy.
I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind.【5】Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts. Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didn’t pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A.What should you do?
B.But listening is a problem for most of the beginners!
C.However,after several weeks,I got used to the grammar rules.
D.The most important thing is to listen as often as possible.
E.This method usually resulted in confusion.
F.Listen for the general idea of the conversation.
G.But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all!
28、 Dazzling (眼花缭乱) with their bright colors and eye — catching displays, fireworks light up our night skies during the holidays. However, these crowd -pleasers can have some damaging side effects. Once a firework is set off, it only takes a couple of seconds before smoke, dust and harmful chemicals are let out into the atmosphere. The loud booming noises are caused by gunpowder. While the sounds may excite some people, they can be frightening to domestic and wild animals — as well as some humans.
The pretty colors you see are a result of more chemicals. Barium, added to make green, is known for its poisonous and radioactive qualities. Blue comes from copper compounds. Cadmium, lithium and lead — all found in fireworks — have been linked to diseases, such as allergies and skin rashes in both humans and animals. Acid rain has been linked to gases given off by fireworks, which sometimes go beyond the toxin (毒素) limits of the United States Clean Air Act.
Once all those chemicals come back down to the ground, they can cause problems too. Debris (碎片) from the fireworks falls to the ground, where animals can bum their paws or noses on piping hot pieces. Humans also are at risk of stepping on or picking up something sharp or hot. Meanwhile, debris that finds its way into waterways can damage animal habitats and water supply sources. Instead of setting off fireworks, try to come up with some new ways for fun. Here are some ideas to get you started:
Sky lanterns — a tradition that originated long ago in the most-populated Asian country.
Party crackers — a favorite in the United Kingdom — give you noise and surprises without the mess of fireworks. You can make your own or buy eco-friendly crackers.
Want noise excitement with less volume? Consider a fireworks sound recording beforehand or break out the party horns (号角) and blow up a storm!
【1】The advantages of fireworks can be seen below EXCEPT that _________.
A.the special sounds of fireworks excite people
B.the pretty and bright colors add to the beauty of night skies
C.fireworks are enjoyed as one of the crowd-pleasers
D.debris from fireworks can even find its way into water
【2】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Chemicals in fireworks are both poisonous and dangerous.
B.Too much gases from fireworks can result in acid rain.
C.Copper compounds are needed to make green in fireworks.
D.Chemicals in fireworks are harmful in the air and on the ground.
【3】What is implied from the passage?
A.Gunpowder in fireworks makes loud booming noises.
B.It must be Indians who first started to hang sky lanterns.
C.Fireworks can even break the balance of nature.
D.Fireworks does less harm in the air than on the ground.
【4】What can be concluded as the writer’s attitude towards fireworks?
A.It is not allowed to set off fireworks except during the holidays.
B.Night is the best time to set off fireworks and see the pretty colors.
C.You cannot set off fireworks unless you come up with new ways.
D.Fireworks should be banned and replaced by some other means.
29、 “What's your 'Thing of the Day'?” I asked my fourteen-year-old son as he got a piece of potato onto his plate. This is a question our four kids and whichever friends are staying for supper expect to be asked each evening at suppertime. Usually, it's followed with, “Uhh... Umm... We had pizza for lunch.” And then I have to refuse the response and ask for something meaningful—either something he learned or something that happened with his friends.
But, this day, my son surprised me as he went into great detail about how he had been honestly wronged by a couple of classmates and laughed at in front of the class. I asked more questions and learned that the teachers knew the situation clearly. It had been dealt with as much as the teachers and staff were able to. It was really just a matter of kids being mean and deciding to treat someone unfairly.
I thought about the situation all night. I vacillated between contacting the teachers, contacting the parents of the classmates, and not doing anything since the story had been told to me in a matter-of-fact way—not overly excitedly.
I waited until the next day after school. On the car ride home, I questioned my son what about today after yesterday's situation. My son was honestly surprised that I brought it up again. “What? No, it's over, Mom. They're my friends. They were just being stupid. They apologized. Forgive and forget, you know? We're all good.”
I was worried that perhaps he was trying to hide his concern or sadness about the thing. But as I watched him over the next days and weeks, everything seemed “normal”. Wouldn't it be great if everyone could live the “forgive and forget” way of life?
