    Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?

    The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils (灾祸).

    People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.

    Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial (商业的)websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.

    Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.

    The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

    Disneyland calls itself the happiest place in the world. In order to keep visitors happy in its locations across the globe, every theme park in the world is changed slightly to satisfy local cultures and tastes.

    Opened in 1983 and larger than the original California Disneyland, Tokyo Disneyland is the third most visited of any theme park in the world after the two Disney parks in the US. Like Walt Disney World in Florida, Cinderella’s Castle is located at the centre of the park.

    But like karaoke, which originated in Japan and is a country-wide obsession (痴迷), Disneyland gives the often-reserved (矜持) Japanese people a place to show their noisy side. In Tokyo Disneyland, even adult visitors will sing, clap and dance along to the internationally themed live shows, which is a rare sight in the US.

    After excitedly entering Disneyland Paris, which opened in 1992, visitors can see an arcade that features a small copy of the Statue of Liberty – a gift from France to American in 1886, making it a perfect introduction to this Europe’s only Disneyland theme park.

    Unfortunately, the French stereotype of a smoking wine drinker is supported in Disneyland Paris. Many visitors complain (抱怨) that although the theme park is equipped with special smoking areas, most smokers seem to puff away (吹气) in all the open areas, including in queues for rides. Besides this, it is also the only Disneyland in the world where you can enjoy an alcoholic drink with your meal; a French meal without a glass of wine would make for the unhappiest place in the world.

    1.What can we learn from the second and the third paragraph?

    A. Tokyo Disneyland is the third largest theme park in the world.

    B. Tokyo Disneyland is meant only for adult people.

    C. There is no Cinderella’s Castle in Tokyo Disneyland.

    D. Tokyo Disneyland is more visited than Disneyland Paris.

    2.What are most visitors unhappy about when in Disneyland Paris?

    A. No live shows there.

    B. No smoking areas in the park.

    C. Much smoking smell in the air.

    D. Having to line up for a long time.

    3.What can we infer from the underlined sentence?

    A. Drinking alcohol is not allowed in other Disneyland in the world except Disneyland Paris.

    B. If you want to be happy, go to Disneyland Paris and enjoy a glass of wine there.

    C. The alcoholic drink is forbidden in Disneyland Paris.

    D. Disneyland Paris is the unhappiest place in the world.

    4.What is the main idea of the text?

    A. The reason for building Disneyland across the globe

    B. The introduction to Disneyland theme parks in Japan and the US

    C. The difference between Disneyland Paris and Tokyo Disneyland

    D. The simple analysis of Disneyland’s popularity in some parts of the world
