26、Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans may say they are red hot about something unfair. They are red hot when they are very angry about something. The small hot-tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hot for their color and their fiery(辣的) taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It comes from the fact that many babies are born with nice pink skin that shows that they are in good health.
The color black is often used in expressions. People describe a day on which everything goes wrong as a black day. A blacklist(黑名单) is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in his stomach may say he feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or green-backs. Dollars are called greenbacks because green is the color of the black side of the paper money.
【1】Americans use “red hot” to describe the following EXCEPT_______.
A．something unfair
B．small hot-tasting peppers

D．popular music like Dixieland jazz

27、The COVID-19 has changed every aspect of our lives, including our eating habits. Comfort food was made for times like these, and it seems the healthy-food trend that took root in recent years is reversing (彻底转变), at least for the time being. Shopping habits have changed. To be in favor of old processed foods like frozen pizza, hot cakes and canned spaghetti, convenience foods with long shelf life are designed.
No judgment here. Money is tight in many families, and busy parents are putting breakfast, lunch and dinner on the table in between video conference meetings. Besides, convenience foods are engineered to taste good and make us feel good (at least in the short term).
But you might want to save room for something green on your plate, if you can find it at the store. That’s because a growing body of research is showing that our food choices don’t just affect our shapes. What we eat also may affect our mood and behavior—and not in the “I can’t believe I ate a dozen cookies in one sitting” sort of way. Indeed, there may be something in the food we’re eating (or not eating) that's influencing our state of mind.
The emerging(新兴的) field of nutritional psychology states that modern Western diets have contributed to increased rates of mental illness, particularly depression and anxiety. Diets that follow a Mediterranean pattern of eating—with a lot of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, fish and olive oil—have been connected with lower rates of depression. A diet change of just a few weeks has been found to change moods.
As a third of all Americans are reporting that the coronavirus pandemic has done harm to their mental health, we might need nutritious food more than ever.
【1】Why are convenience foods with long shelf life designed?
A．To change shopping habits.
B．To change the taste of food.
C．To show the healthy food.
D．To meet customers’ shopping habits.
【2】What does the research mentioned in paragraph 3 tell us?
A．Cookies is a kind of food you like while sitting.
B．Food choices may influence our mood.
C．A growing body needs proper sports.
D．Busy work can make you feel depressed.
【3】How does the author like the Mediterranean eating diet?
A．It’s beneficial to health.
B．It includes too much fat.
C．It may cause mental illness.
D．It’s connected with higher rates of depression.
【4】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A．Can healthy food provide relief?
B．Do food choices affect our shapes?
C．What can contribute to mental illness?
D．How can we beat the COVID-19?
28、What do you think when you hear the phrase “when pigs fly?” 【1】This common saying is used to express the idea that something is highly impossible. For example, if you ask your parents to buy you something very expensive, the answer might be “when pigs fly?”
【2】An old mention of pigs flying appeared in Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. However, it is believed that Carroll may have picked up the phrase from the Scottish, who had been using the phrase for several hundred years. That may be right.
There are also those who believe the phrase may have gotten its start in America. 【3】It’s not surprising that many common sayings that developed back then had an animal or farm background. For example, farmers used to take pigs to slaughterhouse (屠宰场) along rivers on small boats. If it was foggy, people on the bank could only see the pigs’ heads above the fog 【4】 This might have caused the saying to appear.
Other countries also use animals to show impossibility. 【5】 Other countries, such as France and Spain, use phrases like “when frogs grow hair or when hens grow teeth”.
A．The phrase was used as a clever reply.
B．Long ago, most Americans worked in farming.
C．You may want to know the origin (起源) of this phrase.
D．Maybe funny pictures of pigs with wings fill your mind.
E．People like to use colorful phrases to get a message across.
F．For example, many countries use the phrase “when cows fly”.
G．This made them look like they were flying through the clouds.
29、I would never forget the time when we were standing at the top of a church tower．My father had brought me to this spot in a small town not far from our home in Rome．I wondered why．
“Look down, Elsa，” Father said．I gathered all my courage and looked down．I saw the square in the center of the village．And I saw the crisscross （纵横交错） of streets leading to the square．“See, my dear，” Father said gently．“There is more than one way to the square．Life is like that．If you can't get to the place where you want to go by one road, try another．”
