Passage 1
Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.
Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples have already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price。They felt unhappy and returned to their village.
“I can’t understand why we sustained(蒙受)losses in business while others always profit” Uncle Li asked one day.
“The tractor was too small” Uncle Wang said without thinking. “We’ll carry more apples on a truck next time!”
“I agree!” said Uncle Li. “How foolish we were!”

Passage 2
Many people are frightened by spiders. They are especially afraid of large, hairy ones. The largest and most frightening of all spiders is the bird-eating spider, which lives in the hot, thick rain forests of northern South America.
Bird-eating spiders are a type of tarantula(狼蛛). They are very hairy. Some of these giant spiders can spread eighteen centimeters (seven inches) with their legs. Tarantulas are not, as most people think, poisonous spiders. They can bite, and the bite is painful, but is will not kill a grown-up. The poisonous bite of a black widow spider is far more dangerous.
Bird-eating spiders often hide in holes and under rocks during the day, but at night they creep out and hunt for insects. As you might guess from their name, they also catch birds and eat them.
They have another unusual ability. They can walk up windowpanes(窗玻璃)because of sticky, silky hairs on their feet that cling to glass.

Passage 3
I had just gone to bed after a very hard day when the phone rang. It was an eccentric ( 古怪的) farmer. I had never met him before although I had often heard people talk about him. He sounded quite nervous and he had been talking for a minute or so before I understood anything. Even then all I could make out was that someone called Milly had had a very bad accident. I hadn't the slightest idea who she was but I obviously had to go.
It had been snowing heavily that day and I didn't know the way. I had been driving for at least an hour when I finally found his place. He was standing there, waiting for me. It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me than anyone... even my own wife!” he said. I could see
that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal ( 丑闻).

Passage 1
Are you nervous? Maybe you should sit in a blue room. Are you always cold? Maybe you should sit in a room painted in a warm color such as soft orange. Are you often sad? Maybe you should sit in a yellow room. Some researchers believe that color has the power to affect our feelings. They believe that colors affect almost everyone in the same way. They tested the idea in different settings.
One study was done in a workplace. The researchers painted heavy boxes white and light boxes black. They wanted to see how color affected the workers' feelings. Which boxes do you think were more difficult to lift? The heavy white ones? No. The black boxes were more difficult. The white boxes were heavier but they looked light. The researchers think that this is because light colors seem light.
Another study was done at a hospital with brown and dark green walls. Painters repainted the hospital walls in bright colors — bright orange on the first floor, bright pink on the second, bright green on the third. Guess what happened? The patients changed. They visited each other and talked more. The workers also changed and were happier about their work.
Another study was done at a school. Researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, studied children with behavior problems in their classroom. When the walls were brown and yellow, the children's heart rates went up and they were overactive. When the walls were light and dark blue, the children's heart rates were slower and the children were much calmer.
If this is true, people might start to think carefully about the colors around them—not just in houses, but also in offices, in schools, in hospitals, in gyms, in prisons, in museums, and in
