         Have you ever walked into a room and felt relaxed? It could be because the walls painted blue, a calm
      and peaceful color.
        Sometimes colors can affect (影响) our feelings and moods (情绪). Some colors can make us feel calm
      and peaceful (安静的). Blue is one of these. Wearing blue clothes or sleeping in a blue room is good for
      our mind and body, because this color gives us good feelings. Blue is also the color of sadness, so you
     may say "you're feeling blue" when you're feeling sad. White is another calm color. You should wear white
      clothes if you're feeling nervous. White is also the color of purity (纯洁). Many women like to be in white
      on their wedding (婚礼) day. Green is the color of nature. It can give us more energy (干劲,活力) when
      we are feeling tired.
         Some colors can make you feel warm. These colors can give you a happy feeling. People who live in
      cold weather use warm colors in their homes like orange and yellow instead of (代替) white and blue.
         Orange shows joy (快乐). It can bring you success and cheer you up (使……振奋) when you are
     feeling sad. Yellow is the color of the sun, so it can remind you of a warm, sunny day. Yellow is also the
      color of wisdom (智慧). Some people like this color when they study for exams. For example, they may
      use yellow paper. Red is one of the strong colors. Wearing red often makes us active.
         In short, we can try out different colors if we aren't feeling our best.
    1. The passage tells us _____ may make us feel relaxed.
        A. yellow    
        B. orange         
        C. red        
        D. blue
    2. What does "She is blue today." mean? _____ 
        A. She is happy.  
        B. She is sad.      
        C. She is bored.
        D. She is excited.
    3. Yellow is the color of _____. 
        A. wisdom      
        B. purity          
        C. nature      
        D. peace

         Jeanne Calment, a French woman, held the record for living the longest in the world. She died in 1995
      at the age of 120 years and 238 days. A Japanese man died in 1986 at the age of 120 years and 237
     days.
         Jeanne Calment lived in a small old people's home in the south of France; her husband, her only child
     and her grandson all died . She was nearly blind (瞎的) and deaf (聋的) and was always in a wheelchair,
      but her doctor described her as being more like a 90-year-old in good health than someone of 120. She
      still had a lively sense of humor (幽默感). She said that God  forgot all about her.  
         So what is the key to a long life? Some doctors say that diet, exercise and no smoking are the three
     important things. Jeanne Calment followed two of the tips (窍门). She always ate a healthy diet, and she
      did exercise every day until she broke her leg at the age of 115. However, until recently she drank two
     glasses of strong red wine a day, and she smoked (now only a little). And Jeanne Calment might have got
      very good genes (基因) from her parents. Her father lived to the age of 94 and her mother to 86.  
         A man bought her house when she was 80 . He said he would pay her some money every year until she
      died. It seemed (似乎)a good deal at the time, but the man paid her at least three times (倍)the value (价
     值) of the house. Every year on her birthday Jeanne Calment sent him a card saying:
    Sorry, I'm still alive!
    1. How did Jeanne Calment feel about her old age?
        A. She was sad.                  
        B. She was happy.
        C. She wanted to live longer.          
        D. She thought she was going to die very soon.
    2. Jeanne Calment lived so long because _____.
        A. she smoked only a little every day    
        B. she didn't smoke or drink
        C. she drank two glasses of strong red wine every day
        D. she had the good genes from her parents, ate a healthy diet and did some exercise
    3. The underlined word "deal" means _____.
        A. 交易          
        B. 理想          
        C. 事情      
        D. 事业
    4. Why does Jeanne Calment say "Sorry, I'm still alive" to the man every year on her birthday?
        A. Because she didn't want to live so long.
        B. Because she asked the man to pay her more than they first agreed.
        C. Because the man paid her much more money than the value of the house.
        D. Because the house was too expensive.

         A man was walking along the street when he saw a woman trying to get a large box out of her car. It

       "That's very kind of you," the woman said, "I'm having a lot of trouble with it. Maybe it is stuck (卡住) in
      the car door."
       "Together we'll move it," the man said, "I'll get in and push (推) the other end." And he got in the car.
       "OK," the man said, "I'm ready." 2. And he began to push the box hard.
       For some minutes, the man and the woman tried to move the box. Soon they were very tired.
       They rested for a moment. Then the woman said, "Let's try again. One, two, three!" They tried again.
       Finally they were exhausted (精疲力竭的), the man said, "I'm sorry, 3. but I don't think there's any way to get it out of your car."

    Safety Activities for Middle School Kids
        School is not the safe place as it used to be. How do we keep school safer? How do we help students
     stay away from danger? There are many activities that teachers can do to teach safety in an easy way.
     Here are some stories from the students who have had the safety class in No. 1 Middle School.
    Mike Smith: About Sports Safety
       Once, our head teacher made up a story about sports safety. All we needed to do was to point out safe
      and unsafe sports behaviors in the story. From this lesson, we knew we should always do warm-up
      activities before playing sports and drink some water after that.
    Amy Young: About Classroom Safety
       Yes, making up stories is a good way to learn and enjoy ourselves. We were once asked to make up a
      story about a boy called Little Naughty (调皮的). He always did something naughty in the classroom and
      got himself into trouble. In this way, we learned to behave (为人处世) well and get on well with each
     other.
    Frank Green: About Fire Safety
       In our school, we have a fire emergency response practice (火警应急演习) in September every year.
     So we know where to go if there is a fire in a school. We learn to use the fire extinguisher (灭火器), too.
      But I don't think we should be allowed to put out the fire by ourselves, it's too dangerous for young
     students like us.
    The school that the students are  from  __1__
    The way of keeping safe when doing sports We should do warm-up activities before  we__2__sports and
    drink  water after that.
