25、Scientists are making an effort to find out how our feelings are affected. How you feel is decided by many things, such as your personality (性格) and the actions of others. You may be surprised to know the weather can also affect your feelings.

People often say they feel good when it’s sunny and sad when it’s cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel happy. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce vitamin D (维生素D). Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical which affects our brains and makes us happy. For example, the winter in Sweden and Norway is long and dark with little sunlight, so many people there often feel sad. To help the people in these countries feel happier, special “sunrooms” are built for people to get “sunlight” for an hour or two!

The weather can affect our feelings in other ways as well. Rain can make people angry because being wet makes people unhappy. In the same way, hot weather can make people angry because people don’t feel comfortable when feeling hot. As you can see, the weather can influence the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can affect our feelings. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we cannot change the weather.

【1】Why does sunlight make us feel happy?

A．Because sunlight hits our skins and we feel warm.

B．Because people can get “sunlight” in special “sunrooms”.

C．Because vitamin D helps make a special chemical which affects our brains and makes us happy.

D．Because vitamin D affects our brains and makes us happy.

【2】What is the purpose of special “sunrooms” in Sweden and Norway?

A．To help people feel better.

B．To help people get warmer.

C．To help people feel sad.

D．To help people feel hot.

【3】What kind of weather can make us angry according to the passage?

A．On rainy and cloudy days.

B．On windy and cloudy days.

C．On windy and hot days.

D．On rainy and hot days.

【4】Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．People often feel sad when it’s cloudy.

B．The winter in Sweden and Norway is warm and sunny.

C．How we feel is decided by few things.

D．We can also change the weather.

【5】The passage mainly talks about ________.

A．our personality can affect our feelings

B．the weather can affect our feelings

C．the actions of others can affect our feelings

D．music can affect our feelings

26、   You’re rushing to school and a man ahead of you suddenly falls down. Do you stop to help? In a study of bystanders, it was found that some people look away or keep on walking rather than stop and get involved.

“There is an inclination(倾向) to decide that no action is needed,” says Ervin Staub, a psychologist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, who studies the role of bystanders. “ The first thoughts that come into your mind often keep you from offering help.”

Time and again, good and caring people fail to come to the aid of others. They know they should act and yet, for reasons they themselves don’t understand, people sometimes don’t respond. Longtime researchers of bystander behavior continue to struggle with the question, “Why?”

One thing we do know is that the more ambiguous a situation is, the less likely people are to help. Let’s say you see vapors(水汽) coming out of a building. You ask yourself, “Is it steam(蒸汽) or smoke?” If you are not sure, you look to other people for a clue about how to react. If you see other people doing nothing, you think, “Of course, that’s just steam.” You don’t want it to be smoke, because then you would have to do something about it.

Another one is known as “ the bystander effect”. This says that the more people there are observing an emergency, the less responsible each one of them personally feels. For example, if you are the only person in the world who can act to save someone in a dangerous situation, you are more likely to act. However, if you are one of 100,000 people who could save the situation, you would be happier if one of the other 99,999 people did it!

“If you notice trouble, force yourself to stop and judge the situation instead of walking on,” says Ervin Staub. Then try to involve other people; you don’t have to take on all the responsibility of being helpful. According to Staub, it is sometimes just a matter of turning to the person next to you and saying, “It looks like we should do something.” Once you take action, most people will follow you and also offer help.

【1】Ervin Staub probably agrees that _____.

A. the bystanders force them to solve the troubles

B. people’s first thoughts usually prevent them from helping

C. the researchers often lead to the embarrassment

D. the person next to you often asks you to deal with emergency

【2】The word “ambiguous” in Paragraph 4 probably means “_____”.

A. difficult B. dangerous C. unclear D. unpleasant

【3】The writer uses “ the bystander effect” to show that _____.

A. people usually think others a lot before the difficulties

B. people like to carry out the responsibility in emergency

C. people often share their ideas when they’re in dangerous situations

D. people are likely to behave in the same way as most other people do

【4】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Is it important to offer help?

B. Is it difficult to get involved?

C. To stand there or take actions?

D. To change the decision or stick it?

27、Getting recognization（认可）from National Geographic, a famous US magazine, is the dream for many photographers. A lucky Chinese teenage photographer has made this dream come true just after his 14th birthday last year.

With his work Qiangtoucao (Weed on the Wall), Gong Zijie, a student from Changsha, Hunan, won the 2014 International Photography Contest for Kids in China’s competition last year. It was hosted by National Geographic Kids. Gong got the first place in the Wild Vacation part. His photo shows the shadow (影子) of a weed (野草) on the Palace Museum’s red walls. In world-famous photographer Li Shaobai’s words, “The picture is silent, but it’s also powerful.” How did Gong make it? “I just saw the weed and found it lonely and helpless,” said Gong.

Gong learned photography from his father, a photographer working for Hunan TV. Since the age of 4, he has been following his father to learn to take pictures.

Gong is a patient photographer. When he views something valuable, he can spend hours waiting for the perfect time for the picture. Compared with beautiful sights, the young photographer is paying more attention to social topic. In Gong’s pictures of Liuyang River, hundreds of dead fish show us the deadly results of pollution. He has made up his mind to document polluted rivers at least once every year to focus more people’s eyes on the environment.

“Now photography is not only a hobby, but also a duty for me,” said Gong.

【1】Where did Gong Zijie take the photo named “Qiangtoucao”?

【2】How did Li Shaobai like Gong’s photo in the passage?

【3】What is Gong’s father?

【4】How long has Gong learned photography?
