26、 For hundreds of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions(情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be affected by the weather as well.
People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, it helps our bodies produce vitamin D(维生素). Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in some countries in the world, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!
The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these days, the weather can affect our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.
【1】The underlined word “artificial” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A. 天然的 B. 人造的 C. 虚构的
【2】From the passage we know that _______.
A.people feel good when it is cloudy
B.in the countries where there are long, dark winters of little sunlight, many people feel sad
C.special “sunrooms” have been built all over the world
【3】Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect one's emotions?
A. Weather. B. Actions of others.
C. Personality. D. Age.
【4】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.Enough vitamin D makes people feel good
B.Both hot weather and rainy weather can make people angry
C.Only weather can control our emotions.
【5】 The best title for this passage should be _______
A.People Need More Vitamin D
B.We Can Hardly Change the Weather
C.Weather Affects People’s Emotions
27、As someone who’s been studying English for many years now, you might think you know the English language pretty well. But if you overheard a British person say, “A Billy left some bees and honey in my sherbet (冰冻果露) last night,” would you understand what they meant?
Probably not, but many native speakers may not know what this person was saying either.
The example above was a sentence that a London taxi driver might say to another member of his or her tribe. In plain English, the sentence would be, “A customer left some money in my cab last night.”
So, what exactly is meant by “tribe”?
A recent article on the BBC Culture website pointed out that nearly all of us are a part of a tribe.
This is a group that defines (定义) who we are and even how we speak. And with each tribe comes its own “secret language”, as the BBC called it.
If you work in a certain industry – education, for example – you may use slang words (俚语) and acronyms (首字母缩略词) that only other people who work in that industry would understand. Or if you live in a certain city, you might use a slang word to describe a landmark (地标) in the city, that only locals would understand.
These secret words don’t always stay within their tribes, however. Words from many tribes, especially musical cultures such as rap and hip-hop, often enter people’s everyday vocabulary. For example, the phrase “to have beef” – meaning “to be in a conflict(冲突,争执)” – was made by US rappers. Today, it’s widely used by native English speakers all over the world.
As BBC reporter Susie Dent wrote, “We hear amazing secret languages every day, full of history and stories and in-jokes. And one thing is certain: our tribal conversations will never be finished.”
【1】The example at the beginning of the text is mainly used to ________.
A.prove(证明) that English is hard to learn
B.explain the meaning of tribes
C.teach readers how to communicate with London taxi drivers
D.show how the languages of tribes are often difficult for outsiders (局外人) to understand
【2】What can we know about secret languages?
A.They mostly came from musical cultures.
B.Some words from them are popular in everyday conversation.
C.They first started in London in the 1980s.
D.They have failed to become popular among young people.
【3】What is Dent’s attitude(态度)toward the future of secret languages?
A.Confident.
B.Worried.
C.Uninterested.
D.Objective (客观的).
