Most people have a favorite colour, but how people feel about colours     1     their culture. This can be very important to people in     2     that sell products all over the world. They might choose a colour     3     they think it is exciting or attractive, but in another country that same colour could be used to give a sad     4    .

Look at these examples:

If you ask someone in Britain     5     the right colour is for a bride to wear, the answer will be white. In China and     6     eastern countries, brides often wear red because the colour red is a sign of good luck, happiness and prosperity (繁荣). Red is an     7     colour for a British bride to wear.

In Britain, red is used     8     a sign of danger. Road signs and warning labels are often in red. In eastern cultures, the colour red does not mean you     9     be careful.

In Egypt, yellow is the colour linked to death. In Britain and other western cultures death and funerals (葬礼) are      10      linked to the colour black, but in many eastern countries white is the colour most people      11      death and funerals.

In Britain, green is used in traffic signals to      12      people that it is safe to go. Green is often seen as a positive and lucky colour but      13      green at weddings is unlucky. In some cultures green is lined to cheating or jealousy.

Many people like the colour orange because it is bright      14      exciting. Some advertisers will not use orange in their advertisements because they believe it      15      that the products are cheap and perhaps not of good quality.

五、阅读理解。

Troy followed Al back to the path. Just at that moment, Troy heard a sound and looked up. He froze in fear. A big green snake was crawling (爬) down a tree toward Al. He had to warn his friend.

“Stop! Al!” shouted Troy. “Snake!”

Al turned his head slowly. “Oh, that’s a beauty, isn’t it?”

“Are you crazy?” said Troy. “It might kill us!”

“Troy, don’t be silly. That’s a Florida rough green snake. It isn’t poisonous—it’s harmless. Look how pretty it is!” Al watched the snake as it crawled to the forest floor and crossed the path behind him.

“Come on!” said Troy.

The boys continued on their treasure hunt until they reached the swamp (沼泽) on Troy’s map.

“Wait!” Troy shouted suddenly. He had seen something on the sand shining in the sun. “Look! There is some silver over there!”

The boys got closer. Was it a coin? No, it was just a soda tin that people had left. Troy kicked the tin, but Al said, “Let’s make the swamp cleaner than we found it.”

He picked up the tin and put it in his backpack. Troy looked at the map. Then, he smiled excitedly.

“I think we’ve found the spot where the treasure is. Come on! Help me dig.”

They took turns digging with the shovel. They dug and dug until they were exhausted. They sat down for a rest.

“So much effort, and all for nothing!” said Troy, disappointed. “We’ll never find the treasure!”

Al turned to his friend with a big smile on his face.

“Why are you smiling?” asked Troy, “We’ve wasted our time here.”

“No, we haven’t wasted anything,” whispered Al. “Look at that beauty!”

Troy turned to look in the direction that Al was pointing. He saw a giant bird in a nearby bush.

“Troy, it’s a frigate bird. Look, how big it is! I’ve always wanted to see one, but I didn’t think I ever would. These birds are super rare, you know. It’s almost impossible to see one.”

“Really? Wow! I can’t believe how big it is!” said Troy.

Al nodded. “Yes, it’s amazing. Our treasure hunt was successful, Troy. That bird is the real treasure.”
