One lazy afternoon in a library, I found a book called The Last Days of Old Beijing by US writer Michael Meyer. The book caught my eye and made me think about my home city, Beijing, and its past.
Meyer’s writing takes us back to Beijing about 20 years ago. In 2005, Meyer moved into Dashilan, one of Beijing’s oldest neighborhoods, on one of its hutongs. There he taught English at a local (当地的) school and lived with local people. This helped him to get close to the local culture. In the book, he describes the hutongs and the shouts of street sellers.
Meyer saw some of the great changes (变化) in this neighborhood. The old houses made way for tall buildings, supermarkets and other modern (现代的) buildings. However, some parts of old Beijing’s culture stayed strong in the face of fast change. People still kept traditional activities like putting up Spring Festival couplets (对联) and ate traditional food on special days.
I was born in Beijing in the 2010s, so I know more about the city’s modern side. Reading The Last Days of Old Beijing opened my eyes to new sides of the city.

What’s your favorite color? How much do you know about it? The World’s Favorite Color Project (WFCP) interviewed 26,596 people from over 100 different countries to get some information about people’s favorite color. It found that most people’s favorite color appears to be green or blue. The reason behind this may be that they are connected (与……相联系) with the environment we live in and enjoy, such as the clear sky, clean water and beautiful forests.
What is more, the World’s Favorite Color Project asked people to list things and feelings that they connect with colors. It also hoped to find out what different colors mean to different people, and what may influence this. Many scientists have studied the relationship between colors and feelings. “For one thing, we have found the brighter the color is, the more it is connected with happiness and excitement,” said Professor Anna Franklin, expert in color psychology (色彩心理学) at the University of Sussex, “For another, people are more likely to feel relaxed and comfortable when seeing a light color.”
More often than not, colors have the same meanings for people all around the world: yellow brings happiness; red means love; orange shows energy (能量). ______ For example, while white means peace and luck in some cultures, it is connected with unlucky meanings in some other cultures.

One lazy afternoon in a library, I found a book called The Last Days of Old Beijing by US writer Michael Meyer. The book caught my eye and made me think about my home city, Beijing, and its past.
Meyer’s writing takes us back to Beijing about 20 years ago. In 2005, Meyer moved into Dashilan, one of Beijing’s oldest neighborhoods, on one of its hutongs. There he taught English at a local (当地的) school and lived with local people. This helped him to get close to the local culture. In the book, he describes the hutongs and the shouts of street sellers.
Meyer saw some of the great changes (变化) in this neighborhood. The old houses made way for tall buildings, supermarkets and other modern (现代的) buildings. However, some parts of old Beijing’s culture stayed strong in the face of fast change. People still kept traditional activities like putting up Spring Festival couplets (对联) and ate traditional food on special days.
I was born in Beijing in the 2010s, so I know more about the city’s modern side. Reading The Last Days of Old Beijing opened my eyes to new sides of the city. The life in the old neighborhoods touched my heart. It made me think about how we can keep our traditional activities while also moving forward with changes.
8. What do we know about Meyer?
A. He works in a library in Beijing. B. He is a great writer from the UK.
C. He moved into Dashilan in 2010. D. He was once an English teacher in Beijing.
9. The writer mentions (提到) The Last Days of Old Beijing to show us ______.
A. how successful Meyer is
B. how to keep local culture in Beijing
C. what makes Beijing change so much
D. what makes the writer think about Beijing
10. From Paragraph 3, which of the following is the new side of Beijing?
A. Shopping in a big supermarket. B. Watching a movie in a modern theater.
C. Enjoying hamburgers in KFC. D. Putting up Spring Festival couplets.
11. What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Reading Meyer’s Book about Beijing B. Seeing Great Changes in Beijing
C. Watching New Movies about Beijing D. Keeping Traditional Activities in Beijing

What’s your favorite color? How much do you know about it? The World’s Favorite Color Project (WFCP) interviewed 26,596 people from over 100 different countries to get some information about people’s favorite color. It found that most people’s favorite color appears to be green or blue. The reason behind this may be that they are connected (与……相联系) with the environment we live in and enjoy, such as the clear sky, clean water and beautiful forests.
What is more, the World’s Favorite Color Project asked people to list things and feelings that they connect with colors. It also hoped to find out what different colors mean to different people, and what may influence this. Many scientists have studied the relationship between colors and feelings. “For one thing, we have found the brighter the color is, the more it is connected with happiness and excitement,” said Professor Anna Franklin, expert in color psychology (色彩心理学) at the University of Sussex, “For another, people are more likely to feel relaxed and comfortable when seeing a light color.”
More often than not, colors have the same meanings for people all around the world: yellow brings happiness; red means love; orange shows energy (能量). ______ For example, while white means peace and luck in some cultures, it is connected with unlucky meanings in some other cultures.
12 How does the writer start the topic (话题)?
A. By asking questions. B. By giving examples.
C. By telling stories. D. By sharing experiences.
13. What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A. The way to choose different colors.
B. The reason why most people love blue.
C. The relationship between colors and feelings.
D. The same meanings the colors have for people.
14. Which of the following can be put into ______?
A. As we can see, white makes most of the people relaxed and quiet.
B. What’s more, some different colors may have the same meanings.
C. In fact, people may use different colors to show different meanings.
D. However, some colors have different meanings in different cultures.
15. What is the main purpose to write the passage?
A. To share a study about colors.
B. To show people’s favorite colors.
C. To tell meanings of different colors.
D. To ask WFCP for advice on colors.
