    Your house may have an effect on your figure . Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off . You can make your environment work for you instead of against you . Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.

    Open the curtains and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.

    Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room . Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing , while cold colors make us feel less hungry . So when it’s time to repaint, go blue.

    Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes, And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

    Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14 percent. And we’ll pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

    1.The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.

    A. their home comforts B. their body shape

    C. house buying D. healthy diets

    2.A home environment in blue can help people_________.

    A. digest food better B. reduce food intake

    C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites

    3.What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

    A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music.

    C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.

    4.What can be a suitable title for the test?

    A. Is Your House Making You Fat? B. Ways of Serving Dinner

    C. Effects of Self-Consciousness D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?

    When I visit Merle, I always head straight to the kitchen. I play with her dog, and get settled at the table while Merle makes cups of tea for us.

    We talk about anything we can think of: politics, dogs, the weather, and work. It’s a ritual that I look forward to days in advance.

    To an outsider, my visit appears to be simply the typical act of a granddaughter visiting her grandmother. But Merle and I are not related. She is my surrogate grandmother(代理外祖母）.

    I didn’t even realize I was in the market for a new grandparent until I gradually found that the relationship between Merle and I was exactly what I had with my maternal(母性的） grandparents—safe and comfortable.

    While our relationship developed organically, there are plenty of people who have gone out searching for a grandparent-grandchild relationship.

    Sydney-based Cate Kloos started “Find a Grandparent” in May 2012, after moving to Australia from Germany. While she enjoyed a close relationship with her grandparents in her native country, she realized her own children would be without their extended family(大家庭). She wanted them to benefit in the same way that she had. Grandparents, she says, offer a different but essential kind of support.

    “Find a Grandparent” works much like a match-mating service, where young families or individuals can ask for someone to act as a grandparent figure in their life. So far, several hundred families have made connections and spend time doing typical activities—lunch, going to movies and sharing stories.

    “It is very important to have another person to turn to when they have problems; often grandparents have a different approach to life,” said Kloos.

    1.How does the author feel about her visit to Merle?

    A. It is very formal.

    B. It makes her nervous.

    C. It gives her great pleasure.

    D. It is a source of inspiration for her.

    2.Why did Kloos decide to start “Find a Parent”?

    A. To honor her grandparents.

    B. To make people closer to each other.

    C. To bring warmth to elderly people.

    D. To enable her kids to get more emotional support.

    3.What does Kloos stress in the last paragraph?

    A. The qualities of grandparents.

    B. The important role of grandparents.

    C. We should have a positive attitude to life.

    D. We should spend more time with our family.

    4.What’s the best title for the text?

    A. Merle and I

    B. My role-model

    C. Biological or surrogate?

    D. Finding surrogate grandparents

    Informal conversation is an important part of any business relationship. 1.Latin Americans enjoy sharing information about their local history, art, and customs. They expect questions about their family and are sure to show pictures of their children. The French think of conversation as an art form. 2.For them, arguments can be interesting — and they can cover pretty much or any topic — as long as they occur in a respectful and intelligent manner.

    In the United States, business people like to discuss a wide range of topics, including opinions about work, family, hobbies and politics. 3.They do not share much about their thoughts, feelings or emotions because they feel that doing so might take away from the harmonious business relationship they’re trying to build. Middle Easterners are also private about their personal lives and family matters. It is considered rude, for example, to ask a businessman from Saudi Arabia about his wife or children.

    4.This can get you into trouble, even in the United States, where people hold different views. Sports is typically a friendly subject in most parts of the world, although be careful not to criticize a national sport. 5.

    A. Instead, be friendly and praise your host’s team.

    B. They enjoy the value of lively discussions as well as disagreements.

    C. In Japan, China and Korea, however, people are much more private.

    D. In addition, discussing one’s salary is usually considered unsuitable.

    E. You may feel free to ask your Latin American friends similar questions.

    F. As a general rule, it’s best not to talk about politics or religion with your business friends.

    G. Before you start a discussion, however, make sure you understand which topics are suitable in a particular culture.

    Does handwriting matter? Not very much, according to many educators. However, scientists say it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important. New evidence suggests that the link between handwriting and educational development is deep.

    Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they are also better able to create ideas and remember information. In other words, it’s not only what we write that matters ---- but how.

    A study led by Karin James, a psychologist at Indiana University, gave support to that view. A group of children, who had not learned to read and write, were offered a letter or a shape on a card and asked to copy it in one of three ways: draw the image on a page but with a dotted outline(虚线), draw it on a piece of blank white paper, or type it on a computer. Then the researchers put the children in a brain scanner and showed them the image again.

    It was found that when children had drawn a letter freehand without a dotted outline or a computer, the activity in three areas of the brain were increased. These three areas work actively in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who chose the other two ways showed no such effect. Dr. James attributes the differences to the process of free handwriting: not only must we first plan and take action in a way but we are also likely to produce a result that is variable. Those are not necessary when we have an outline.

    It’s time for educators to change their mind and pay more attention to children’s handwriting.

    1.What do scientists mean by saying “it is far too soon to declare handwriting is not important”?

    A. Handwriting is not very important to children.

    B. Handwriting should not be ignored at present.

    C. Handwriting has nothing to do with education.

    D. Handwriting can not be learned in a short time.

    2.What does “that view” in Para. 3 refer to?

    A. How we write is as important as what we write.

    B. Children read quickly when they write by hand.

    C. Children create ideas and remember information.

    D. A group of students should know what to write.

    3.Which is NOT the children’s task in the experiment?

    A. Copy the image on a page but with a dotted outline.

    B. Draw the image on a piece of blank white paper.

    C. Put a brain scanner and show the image again.

    D. Type the image directly on a computer.

    4.According to the passage, the author obviously  _______  giving up handwriting.

    A. is for B. is against

    C. is responsible for D. doesn’t care about
