根据短文内容, 从下面A到F选项中选出能够概括每段主题的最佳选项, 选项中有一项为多余项

A. Tools of thought

B. A reflection of your personality

C. An indication of your intelligence

D. The explosive effect of words

E. A direction of the history

F. Change the direction of your life

(填涂说明:E=A+D   F=B+D   G=C+D )

The extent of your vocabulary indicates the degree of your intelligence. Your brain power will increase as you learn to know more words. Here's the proof. Two classes in a high school were selected for an experiment. Their ages and their environment were the same. Each class represented an identical cross-section of the community. One, the control class, took the normal courses. The other class was given special vocabulary training. At the end of the period the marks of the latter class surpassed those of the control group, not only in English, but in every subject, including mathematics and the sciences. Similarly it has been found by Professor Lewis M.Terman, of Stanford University, that a vocabulary test is as accurate a measure of intelligence as any three units of the standard and accepted Stanford-Binet I.Q. tests.

The study of words is not merely something that has to do with literature. Words are your tools of thought. You can't even think at all without them. Try it. If you are planning to go down town this afternoon you will find that you are saying to yourself: "I think I will go down town this afternoon." You can't make such a simple decision as this without using words. Your words are your keys for your thoughts. And the more words you have at your command the deeper, clearer and more accurate will be your thinking.

A command of English will not only improve the processes of your mind. It will give you assurance; build your self-confidence; lend color to your personality; increase your popularity. Your words are your personality. Your vocabulary is you. Your words are all that we, your friends, have to know and judge you by. You have no other medium for telling us your thoughts-for convincing us, persuading us, giving us orders.

Words are explosive. Phrases are packed with TNT.A simple word can destroy a friendship. The proper phrases in the mouths of clerks have quadrupled the sales of a department store. The wrong words used by a campaign orator have lost an election. For instance, on one occasion the four unfortunate words, "Rum, Romanism and a Rebellion" used in a Republican campaign speech threw the Catholic vote and the presidential victory to Grover Cleveland. Ears are won by words. Soldiers fight for a phrase. "Make the world safe for Democracy." "All out for England." "V for Victory." The " Remember the Maine" of Spanish war days has now been changed to "Remember Pearl Harbor."

Words have changed the direction of history. Words can also change the direction of your life. They have often raised a man from mediocrity to success. If you consciously increase your vocabulary you will unconsciously raise yourself to a more important station in life, and the new and higher position you have won will, in turn, give you a better opportunity for further enriching your vocabulary. It is a beautiful and successful cycle.

Today’s opportunity erase yesterday’s failures.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red?  【小题1】Do you prefer grays and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings.  【小题2】 If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly
 【小题3】 A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.  【小题4】 A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
【小题5】 It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray.

A.On the other hand, black is depressing.
B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as grow up—we are born with our preference.
C.The rooms are pained in different colors as you like.
D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.
E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G. Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it.

A serious problem for today’s society is who should be responsible for our elderly and howto improve their lives.It is not only a financial problem but also a questionof the system we want for our society.  1.

First,employers should take theresponsibility for their employees. 2.  But when a company must take life-long responsibilityfor its employees,it may suffer from a commercial disadvantage due to higheremployee costs.

   3.  This means each person must  saveduring his working years to pay for his years of retirement.This does not seema very fair model since some people have enough trouble paying for daily life withouttrying to earn extra to cover their retirement years.This means the governmentmight have to step in to care for the poor.

In addition, the government couldtake responsibility for the care of the elderly.This could be financed throughgovernment taxes to increase the level of pensions.Furthermore,some institutionshould be created for senior citizens,which can help provide a comfortable lifefor them.  4.

The government can seldom affordto care for the elderly,particularly when it is busy trying to care for theyoung.

   One further solutionis that the government or social organizations establish some working placesespecially for the elderly where they are independent.

5.Therefore,it is reasonable to expect thatsome combination of these options may be needed to provide the care we hope togive to our elderly generations.

A.      Every coinhas two sides

B.      To sum up,allthese options have advantages and disadvantages.

C.      I would liketo suggest several possible solutions to this problem.

D.      It’s unfair to let the government to share all theresponsibilities.

E.      To make thispossible,a percentage of profits should be set aside for this purpose.

F.      Another wayof solving the problem is to return the responsibility to the individual.

G. Unfortunately,as the present situation in our country shows,this is not a trulypractical answer.
