Have you ever heard someone use the phrase “once in a blue moon”? People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often. For example, someone might say that he tries to avoid(避免) eating sweets because they are unhealthy, but will eat chocolate” once in a blue moon”. Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say “I visit the shore once in a blue moon.”While many people use this phrase, not everyone knows the meaning behind it.
The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue. This is just an expression. In fact, the phrase” blue moon” has to do with the shape of the moon, not the color.
As the moon travels around the earth, it appears to change shape. We associate(联系) certain names with certain shapes of the moon. For example, when we can see a small part of the moon it is called a crescent moon. A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip(尖端) of a fingernail (手指甲)when we cannot see the moon at all, it is called a new moon. When we can see the whole moon, it is called a full moon. Usually, there is only one full moon every month. Sometimes, however there will be two full moons in one month. When this happens, the second full moon is called a blue moon”.
Over the next 20 years, there will only be 15 blue moons. As you can see, a blue moon is a very rare (稀有的)event. This fact has led people to use the expression” once in a blue moon” to describe other very rare events in their lives.
1.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase” once in a blue moon”?
A.Simon often tells jokes. Simon tells jokes once in a blue moon.
B.Tom hardly remembers to do exercise. Tom does exercise once in a blue moon.
C.Mary likes to go shopping every weekend. Mary goes shopping once in a blue moon.
D.Cindy hates to do housework, but she does housework every day. Cindy does housework once in a blue moon.
2.When does a blue moon happen in nature? ________________
A.When the moon has a blue moon.
B.When we cannot see the moon at all.
C.When there are two full moons in one month.
D.When we can only see a small part of the color.
3. How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years?__________
A.Once a year.
B.Less than once a year.
C.More than once a year.
D.At least twice a year.
4.What does the underlined part “This fact” in the last paragraph refer to?___________
A.A blue moon is a very rare event.
B.The moon appears to change shape.
C.The moon itself is never really blue.
D.A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon.

In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Scientists think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that what red symbolizes(代表) is exciting sociable(善交际的)people who like to be with others like red. The cool colors are green, blue and purple. These colors unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people there are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting but one scientist says that time seems to pass more slow in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggested that a warm color such as red or orange, is a good color for a living room or a restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating don’t want time to pass quickly.
Cool colors are better for offices or factories as the people who work there want time to pass quickly. Scientist don’t know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool.
However, almost everyone agree that warm colors remind people of warm days and cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears quite blue. Because it is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
根据短文内容,判断正(T)误(F)。
1 When people talk about two groups of people, they mean those that like warm colors and like cool colors.
2 The warm colors are red, purple and yellow.
3 The people who like warm colors are very easy to get on with others.
4 The persons who are relaxing don’t want time to pass slowly.
5 The best title of the passage is “Colors and People”.

阅读理解,阅读下列短文从每题所给A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项
Arguing with your parents is very natural for teens. From your hairstyle to your friends, your marks at school to your television habits, it might just seem like you argue with your parents about everything. Though this is not pleasant, it is normal and it will most possibly pass. At the same time, remember to argue fairly, respectfully(尊重地) and argue only when needed. It might be hard to stay in control while arguing with parents, but it will do you a lot of good.
Arguments between teens and parents generally come about when both parties believe that they know what is best. Parents have been caring for their teens for over ten years, but teens are quickly becoming adults and believe that they are able to take care of themselves. If you are a teen arguing with your parents, remember that your parents love you and only want what is best for you. If you must argue with them, argue fairly, respectfully by:
▲Letting each person in the argument to speak what they want to say.
▲Refusing to break in others when they are speaking.
▲Only Arguing about the topic at hand. Don’t talk about past hurts.
▲Showing your parents that you have thought about the issue(事情) and are trying to sort things for yourself.
There is a small difference between having a discussion and an argument, but smart teens know that having a discussion with their parents will make things easier.
Arguing with parents is usually a hallmark(标记) of the teenaged years, but out of control arguments don’t serve anyone well. Before arguing with your parents, decide what type of teen you want to be and what you are willing to do in order to achieve your goals.
