        What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist,
    a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blues? Then you
    are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and
    determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what
    psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of
    colour preference, and the influence that colours have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose
    our favourite colours as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your
    eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
        A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable than a dark green one, and a red dress
    brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand, black is depressing. Light and bright
    colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder,
    and have fewer accidents when their machines and painted orange rather than black or dark grey.
        Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can always brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or
    a few colourful things. Remember also that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you
    find out what colours they like and dislike. And don't forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character
    when you choose a piece of handkerchief.
    1. 1. According to this passage, ______.
    [     ]
    A. One is born with his colour preference
    B. One can choose his colour preference
    C. One's colour preference is changeable
    D. One has to choose his favorite colour as soon as he can see clearly
    2. We would pay attention to colours because ______.
    [     ]
    A. Colours do have influence on our state of mind
    B. Colours may have influence on factories
    C. Light and bright colours make people happy
    D. You can know your friends better by the colours they like or dislike
    3. The main idea of this passage is ______.
    [     ]
    A. one's colour preference shows one's character
    B. you can brighten your life with wonderful colours
    C. psychologists have been studying the meaning of colour preference
    D. one's colour preference has something to do with his character and colours have influence on
         human beings
    4. Psychologists believe that ______.
    [     ]
    A. people's favourite colours change as they grow up
    B. people are nearly born to love some colours
    C. people choose their favourite colours when they grow up
    D. people can easily get what the others think of
    5. "I am feeling black" means ______.
    [     ]
    A. I am depressed
    B. I am very happy
    C. I am excited
    D. I am feeling well

        As I was leaving to meet Lynne, My roommate told me that I'd better take some money, but I didn't listen
    to him. I thought that Lynne would pay because she had invited me.
        I arrived at the restaurant exactly on time. I'd been told that Americans expect you to be on time. Lynne
    and I sat at a table in the corner of the restaurant and a waitress came and took our order.
       The dinner was a great success. I talked a lot about Saudi Arabia and Lynne told me all about herself. After
    two hours the waitress finally came and asked if we wanted one check or two. Lynne said two. We went to
    the CASHIER AND Lynne paid her check. I was embarrassed when the cashier gave me my bill. I had no
    money to pay for my meal. Then I had an idea. I pretended to look for something in my pockets and said,
    "Oh! I forgot my money! Can I call my roommate, please?" The cashier showed me where the phone was
    and I quickly called my roommate. In a few minutes he arrived with some money, but he couldn't hide how
    he felt. He laughed all the way home.
        Now, I think it's funny too, but at that time I was terribly embarrassed. I thought that an invitation to have
    dinner meant the same thing in the United States as in my country. I guess you have to understand that your
    customs are only your customs. When you visit a foreign country, you have to learn about their customs, too.

    [     ]
    A. enjoy their meal very much
    B. successfully finished their meal

    D. traveled to Saudi Arabia together
    4. What is the passage mainly about?
    [     ]
    A. People should always take some money with them.
    B. Customs can be entirely different in different countries.
    C. Invitations mean the same even in different countries.
    D. A good roommate can really help you a lot.
    5. Why didn't Lynne pay for the check for the writer?
    [     ]
    A. Because she didn't have enough money with her.
    B. Because she didn't want to do so.
    C. Because she thought it was natural for people to pay their own check.
    D. Because she wanted to embarrass the writer.

    want to go by one road, try another."

    think the food was as bad as I said. When I turned to Father for help, he brought me to the church.

    pour the soup in a plate and bring it to Mother. She drank it and cried out, "What's the matter with the soup
    today?" I at once told her what I had done, and Mother said that she would take up the matter of lunches at
    school the next day.
