In general (一般来说) people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Scientists think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors 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 colors are green, blue and purple. These colors unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, 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 colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggested that a warm color such as red or orange, is a good color for a living room or a restaurant.
People who are relaxing or eating don’t want time to pass quickly. Cool colors 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 colors are warm and other colors are cool.
However, almost everyone agree that warm colors remind (使想起) people of warm days and cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. And the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.

DNA is the whole “map” of the human body. It is something that all humans have, and it tells the body what to do. DNA is the reason that we look like our parents, because we get some of their DNA to make our own.
People have been trying to understand the human body for a long time. In I860, Mr Mendel discovered why we look the same as other people in our family. It is because of small things called “genes”(基因) in our body. In 1953, two scientists, Watson and Crick, found out that those small parts are really messages. They’re written in the DNA with a special language.
In 1961, another two scientists found the first “word” that they could understand in that language. It shows how DNA tells the cell (细胞)to build its parts, we are trying to study the words in the DNA map, but we still do not understand what they all do. By understanding what just one “word” means, we can help to save people from several illnesses. So the more we understand, the more doctors will be able to do.
Most people hope that this will help to make better medicine and help sick people. Other people worry that when we learn more “words” and find out more information, we will use it in the wrong way, just to make people more attractive (有吸引力的), or stop sick people getting jobs.
( ) 1. When did Mr. Mendel discover why we look the same as other people in our family?

C. the first “word” they could understand in that language
D. those small parts are written in the DNA with a special language
( ) 3. How can we help sick people if we understand more “words” in the DNA map?
A. Make better medicine. B. Make them get jobs.
C. Make maps for them. D. Make them attractive.
( ) 4. Which one is not true according to the article?
A. We look like our parents because of “genes” in our body.
B. We have understood what all the words in the DNA map do.
C. DNA is the whole “map” of the human body.
D. DNA tells the cell to build its parts.

Dear Anna,
Recently I meet with some problems. I’m not getting along well with my parents. I really don’t know what to do.
My dream is to be a ballet dancer and I have spent lots of time practicing it. However, my parents consider that I should spend more time on my studies to go to a key university.
I’m a little fat and I plan to lose weight. In my opinion, girls who are slim are more beautiful and attractive, and they are more confident in their study than those who are fat. But my parents have different opinions. They think it is a waste of time and money to lose weight. In addition/besides, losing weight may be harmful to the body and mind.
I also like seeing action films because they are exciting, but my parents think they are terrible and have a bad effect on people, especially teenagers.
What do you think I should do? Can you offer me some useful advice?
Love,
Wang Qian
