【题目】Every people has their own way of saying things, their own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery (炽热的,暴躁的) taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song—Mood Indigo—about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song: "You aren't blue till you've had that Mood Indigo." Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling in stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.

【题目】For many people today, reading is no longer relaxation. To keep up their work they must read letters, reports, trade publications, interoffice communications, not to mention newspapers and magazines—a never-ending flood of words. In 【1】 a job or advancing in one, the ability to read and comprehend 【2】 can mean the difference between success and failure. Yet the unfortunate fact is that most of us, are 【3】 readers. Most of us develop poor reading 【4】 at an early age, and never get over them. The main deficiency 【5】 in the actual stuff of language itself—words. Taken individually, words have 【6】 meaning until they are strung together into phrases, sentences and paragraphs. 【7】 , however, the untrained reader does not read groups of words.

The accelerator forces the reader to read fast, 【14】 word-by-word reading, regression and subvocalization (默读) practically impossible. At first 【15】 is sacrificed for speed. But when you learn to read ideas and concepts, you will not only read faster, 【16】 your comprehension will improve. Many people have found 【17】 reading skill drastically improved after some training. 【18】 Charles Au, a business manager, for instance, his reading rate was a reasonably good 72 words a minute 【19】 the training, now it is an excellent 128 words a minute. He is delighted that how he can 【20】 a lot more reading material in a short period of time.
