This is a story about five brothers, who live in peace in a village. They are orphans(孤儿) and they live by running the rice field 1 from their parents. The rice field is far from their home, so they have to go to the field before sunrise.

Dr. Naismith thought for a few days and invented a kind of ball game. It was a fast, wonderful game with much moving and passing of the ball, It played between two teams. To make a score, the ball had to be thrown into the basket ten feet above the floor on the wall. At each en of the court there was such a basket.

Scientists don’t know why this happens. They have studied it. They think of our animal ancestors in the animal world. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other but it can be either hand. There are so man right-handed ones. Next time you visit the zoo, watch the monkeys carefully. You’ll see that some of them will swing from their right hands and the others will use their left hands.

Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh, and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don’t always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.

No two people are just the same. Sometimes friends don’t get along well. That doesn’t mean that they no

longer like each other. Most of the time, they will make up and go on being friends.

Sometimes friends move away. Then we feel very sad. We miss them very much. But when we call them and write to them? It could be that we would even see them again. And we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them.

Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women who have been friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.

There’s more good news for people who have friends. They live longer than people who don’t Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could just know that someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? If you do, you must be an optimist(乐观), a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲观). At least, this is what psychologists(心理学家) tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference(偏爱), as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up-we are born with or preference.

Colors do influence our moods-there is no doubt about it. 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. On the other hand, black is depressing(沮丧的，消沉的). A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自杀(者)) than any other bridge in the area-until it was repainted(重画) green. The number of suicide attempts(试图，企图) immediately fell sharply; perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.

1、If you like greys and blues, you are likely

A a person who enjoys life

B a leader followed by others

C a follower leading others

D a person always expecting worst things will happen

2、If you happen to love brown,

A you did so

B you learned to do so

C psychologists said so

D psychologists thought so

3、There is no doubt that

A most people like yellow and red

B yellow and red are better than black and blue

C colors have an effect on our life

D workers will work better with their machines painted grey or black

Here is are a few suggestions. First, it is important to take a Chinese course, as you’ll be able to

learn from the teacher and practice in your fellow students. Then, it also helps to watch TV and
