Doctors say that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by asking people in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in winter. People living in these places say that they aren’t happy in winter. In the south, the days are long, and few people say they are not happy in winter. The reason is that people in these places get different amounts (数量) of sunlight each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals (化学物质) in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. Some hours of strong sunlight can help our bodies make the special chemicals. They make us feel happy. Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, exercise helps our bodies make these chemicals, too. Also, exercise helps us sleep better. If we don’t get enough sleep, we will not feel happy. Exercise also helps us get away from bad feelings. When we are angry about something, exercise is a good way to get the bad feeling out of us. ( )1. What does the underlined word “this” refer to? A. How much sunlight we get can change our feelings. B. How much sunlight we need every day. C. Where we can get more sunlight. D. Why sunlight is easy to get. ( )2. Why do people in the far north feel unhappy in winter according to the passage? A. Because the weather is too cold. B. Because they get little sunlight. C. Because the days are too long. D. Because they don’t like snow. ( )3. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. People in the south never feel unhappy. B. Staying indoors all day helps us sleep better. C. Exercise can improve our mood and sleep. D. Chemicals in our bodies only come from sunlight. ( )4. What is the best title for the passage? A.

Now it turns out that “seeing red” is not just an expression for angry people, but also a scientific fact. Researchers at North Dakota State University in the US found that there is a connection between the colour red and anger. Angry people really do “see red” while others don’t. And a preference for red over blue may even suggest a more hostile (怀有敌意的) character. The study includes a number of tests. In the first, researchers asked a group of people which colour they preferred, red or blue. These people then did a character test. Results showed that those who chose red are more hostile. During a second test, the people looked at pictures that could be seen as either red or blue. Those who saw red scored 25 percent higher on hostility in the character test. “Hostile people have hostile thoughts; hostile thoughts are connected with the colour red. Therefore, hostile people see the red colour more often,” the researchers say. Finally, the people who took part in the character test were told about some situations in which they could take different actions. Results showed that in these situations, red-preferring people were more likely to show that they would hurt another person than those who preferred blue. “An important message from this research is that colour can influence the behavior and emotions,” the researchers said. Where does this connection between the colour red and anger come from? Scientists said it might be a matter of evolution (进化). In ancient times, dangerous plants and animals could cause wounds and bleeding. So it may have become natural for our ancestors to connect the colour red with danger. 1.
