21、In general (一般来说) people talk about two groups of colours: warm colours and cool colours. Scientists think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colours and people who prefer cool colours.
The warm colours are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red example is exciting sociable (善交际的) people, those who like to be with others like red. The cool colours are green, blue and purple. These colours unlike warm colours, are relaxing. Where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting but one scientist says that time seems to pass more slow in a room with warm colours than in a room with cool colours. He suggested that a warm colour such as red or orange, is a good colour for a living room or a restaurant.
People who are relaxing or eating don’t want time to pass quickly. Cool colours are better for offices of factories as the people who work there want time to pass quickly. Scientist don’t know why people think some colours are warm and other colours are cool.
However, almost everyone agree that warm colours remind (使想起) people of warm days and cool colours remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. Because the sun higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.

22、When 12-year-old Taylor Smith wrote a special letter to herself last spring, to be read in 10 years’ time, she didn’t know it would be opened before even a year had passed— and that it wouldn’t be her eyes reading the words.
“She had told me that she had written a letter to herself, and that she was excited that she was going to open it when she was older,”said Taylor’s mother, Mary Ellen Smith.
Instead, it was opened by Taylor’s parents after she died last spring. They posted the letter to Facebook, hoping it would inspire others.
It has. “We’ve gotten letters from lots of parents who have said it has encouraged them to love their kids and love each other,” said Mary Ellen Smith.
In the letter, Taylor congratulated herself on graduating from high school and asked, “Are you in college?”
She also wanted to know if she had been on a plane yet and if the show “Doctor Who” was still on the air.
Taylor also had some words for her future kids. After considering the idea of selling her iPad and getting an iPad mini instead, she told her future self to mention to her kids that “We’re older than the tablet.” She included a drawing of an iPad for them to see.
Taylor died suddenly of pneumonia (肺炎), leaving behind both her parents and an older brother.
“I just want people to know just what an awesome, awesome person she was,” her father, Tim Smith said.
Her mother said, “I can’t bring her back, but I’m so grateful people have been inspired by her story.”

23、It’s not uncommon in Alabama to hear the words “ma’am” or “sir” being used by a very young child. Like “please“ or “thank you, ”to many Southern parents, saying “ma’am” or “sir” is part of raising children right, a way to show respect, part of common manners.
And so, I can imagine how angry Teretha Wilsonmust felt last month, when her 10-year-old son Tamarion was punished by his teacher for calling her “ma’am. ” His punishment: having to write the word “ma’am” four times on each line of a piece of notebook paper, front and back.
Wilson said that she first noticed that her son was sad when he came home from North East Carolina Preparatory School. He explained what had happened. Wilson said that they had taught Tamarion to use “ma’am” or “sir” as a sign of respect when talking to adults.
Surely that teacher was new and not from the South, I thought. It seems that a little communication with the parents would have been better than requiring a written punishment for something that, culturally, is seen as good behavior.
I might get my “Southern card” pulled for this. Unlike many moms, I don’t require my children to say “sir” o “ma’am. ” They know the words, and know that it’s a polite thing to say. Perhaps I don’t teach it because it wasn’t something that was required of me as a child, I guess.
But they are required to say “please” and “thank you.” If they ask a question, they’d better say “May I” and they know they must ask to be excused before leaving the dinner table. The thing is, manners are a part of preparing your children for the world around them. And it should be up to the parents to decide what those manners are — whether that means using “mat’am” or “sir” or saying “please” and “thank you. ” The child should not be punished for using those signs of respect, but instead praised.
【1】Why was Tamarion punished?
A．The teacher caught him breaking school rules.
B．He failed to write the word “ma’am” right.
C．The teacher thought he didn’t respect her.
D．He didn’t call the teacher “ma’am. ”
【2】What does the author think the teacher should do?
A．Ask the boy’s thoughts first.
B．Go to the South to have a look.
C．Use other kinds of punishment.
D．Have a talk with the boy’s parents.
【3】What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 5?
A．She hasn’t taught her kids the Southern way of being polite.
B．She requires her kids to say “sir” or “ma’am.”
C．She will learn from Southern parents.
D．She is not a Southern American.
【4】What does the author want to show in the last paragraph?
A．Good manners are important.
B．Kids learn good manners at dinner.
C．Parents should set a good example to their kids.
D．Parents instead of teachers should punish the kids.
24、Putting children in daycare helps working parents take their minds off childcare. 【1】
How daycare negatively affects children is related to many factors. One study has shown that children who are shy have a higher level of the hormone cortisol which is released when an individual shows signs of stress. 【2】And as a result the child may not mix well with others at the daycare center, a situation that can cause stress.
Another negative impact of daycare is that there is less communication between a mother and her child. 【3】So it is essential for a child to develop a deep bond with his or her mother, since this will lay the foundation for all the relationships he or she will form later on in life. Children who spend a lot of time with their mothers’ experience healthier social and emotional development.
Children in daycare centers also feel unprotected compared to children at home. In a daycare center, when one caregiver attends to more than one child at the same time, she may not be able to look deeply into why a child is mixing well or not. 【4】
【5】 Well-maintained daycare centers contribute a great deal to the overall development of a child by providing a structured environment. Children become more social by interacting with other children of the same age, and learn new activities that are not always available if they are brought up only at home.
A．But daycare has its disadvantages.
B．Look for a well-maintained daycare center.
C．However, the advantages of daycare cannot be ignored.
D．This is because a shy child won’t open up freely in public.
E．Babies become extremely attached to their primary caregivers.
F．In such cases, a child may become either completely quiet or aggressive.
G．Mothers need cut the time in daycare centers and accompany children more often.
