In the village of Liuke in China, houses are made of dark bricks (砖) and red windows. They stand quietly among tall and green trees.
Many tourists have come to Liuke village to enjoy its natural beauty and rich culture. “This is just beautiful,” says Zhao Mingzhuo, a tourist from east China’s Zhejiang Province. “The kids get to enjoy the fields (田野) here, the old enjoy the quiet environment, and the young people can go camping. It’s quite a good experience here.”
Liuke is one of the ancient villages that lie beside the Wanquan River in Hainan. The Wanquan River is 163 kilometers long and runs through an area of more than 3,600 square kilometers. A classic Chinese folk song (民歌) sings in praise (赞扬) of the clear water of the river. And in recent years, the Wanquan River has become a calling card for Hainan, thanks to its rich stories and history.
In the old days, when villagers needed to travel to other villages, they had to pass by this village. Then the village became a stopover (中转站) for tourists, so it got its name, Liuke. In recent years, the local government has worked hard to attract (吸引) as many tourists as possible to the village. ▲ . Now the village has not only attracted tourists, but also helped villagers stay. In this way, the village can develop more quickly.

If parents want their children to have healthy eating habits, they should ask their children to learn to cook. When children learn to cook, they can know more about healthy food and cooking skills. A school in Liverpool found that more children ate fruit and vegetables after taking cooking classes. The school also found that joining the cooking clubs could improve children’s lifestyles (生活方式) and desire for food.
So let children learn to cook and have some cooking classes at school. In the United Kingdom, many schools have cooking classes for students aged 12 to 16. They get three hours’ classes before practicing cooking. Since 2007, a program called Let’s Get Cooking has helped more than 1.7 million children improve their cooking skills, through more than 5,000 school cooking clubs.
A few days ago, the program did a survey (调查) among 2,500 members. It showed that 92% of them used their new skills at home and more than half said they ate more healthily after they learned to cook.
9. What can children improve after they learn to cook?
A. Cooking skills. B. Eating habits. C. Lifestyles. D. All of them.
10. What does the underlined word “desire” probably mean?
A. happiness B. decision C. wait D. wish
11. The survey tells us the cooking program is ________ for children according to the last paragraph.
A. helpful B. useless C. boring D. hard
12. In what column (栏目) of a magazine can you read this passage?
A. Travel. B. Health. C. Sport. D. Music.
D
There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight (重量)? I think you’ll say “no”. But I’m afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe it, you may do a small experiment (实验).
First, put two objects (物品) with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap (包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK, now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man’s mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.
The scientists told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell colors? Of course not. Then why did the scientists say so? That is because every color stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain (大脑) through sense organs (感觉器官).
In this research, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and tables and chairs for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
13. From the experiment, we know that ________.
A. the two boxes don’t have the same weight B. colors can change the weight of an object
C. the red paper is heavier than the white paper D. colors have different weights in people’s mind
14. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer (推断) ________.
A. the smell of colors is changeable (可变的) B. people can sense (感受) the light from colors
C. people can smell the colors through the nose D. all the colors have the same smell
15. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. White color is heavier than red color.
B. People may get ill if they refuse the colors they don’t like.
C. People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms.
D. People’s body temperature will change with different colors.
16. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. red color is bad for our health B. people may get nervous in a red room
C. blue color can raise (提升) our body temperature D. colors can influence (影响) our mood (情绪) and health

Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.
After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up (被吃光) very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mom. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bag and go out with it at about nine o’clock every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.
One day I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mom was well-known in the area. The street children were very friendly to her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me—why didn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?
When my mom got home, I gave her a big hug (拥抱). I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret (秘密) from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. I felt so proud (骄傲的) of my mom after she told me everything.

There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight (重量)? I think you’ll say “no”. But I’m afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe it, you may do a small experiment (实验).
First, put two objects (物品) with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap (包裹) one box with a red piece of paper, the other one with a white piece of paper. OK, now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in man’s mind. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.
The scientists told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell colors? Of course not. Then why did the scientists say so? That is because every color stands for (代表) a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain (大脑) through sense organs (感觉器官).
In this research, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and tables and chairs for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
13. From the experiment, we know that ________.
A. the two boxes don’t have the same weight B. colors can change the weight of an object
C. the red paper is heavier than the white paper D. colors have different weights in people’s mind
14. From the fourth paragraph, we can infer (推断) ________.
A. the smell of colors is changeable (可变的) B. people can sense (感受) the light from colors
C. people can smell the colors through the nose D. all the colors have the same smell
15. Which of the following is TRUE?
A. White color is heavier than red color.
B. People may get ill if they refuse the colors they don’t like.
C. People can stay longer in red rooms than in blue rooms.
D. People’s body temperature will change with different colors.
16. We can know from the passage that ________.
A. red color is bad for our health B. people may get nervous in a red room
C. blue color can raise (提升) our body temperature D. colors can influence (影响) our mood (情绪) and health
【答案】13. D 14. B 15. D 16. D
