    President Barack Obama's speeches are proving a best-seller in Japan -- as an aid to learning English. An English-language textbook, "The Speeches of Barack Obama," has sold more than 400,000 copies in two months, a big hit in a country where few hit novels sell more than a million copies a year.

    　　Japanese have a fervor for learning English and many bookstores have a corner dedicated (专门用于) to dozens of journals in the language, many of them now featuring the new U.S. leader's face.

    "Speeches by presidents and presidential candidates(候选人) are excellent as listening tools to learn English. Obama's are especially so. His speeches are so moving, and he also uses words such as 'yes, we can,' 'change' and 'hope' that even Japanese people can memorize," said Yuzo Yamamoto of Asahi Press, which produced the best-selling text book.

    　　Speeches by George W. Bush and former nominee(提名) John Kerry's four years ago did not have the same interest, however, and nor do those made by Japanese politicians. “We have to turn to a foreign president for someone in whom to place our hopes”, Yamamoto said.

    　　The 95-page paperback features Obama's speeches in English from the 2004 Democratic National Convention and during the Democratic Party primaries(初选), in which he defeated Hillary Clinton. They are accompanied by Japanese translations.

    　　The 1,050 yen ($12) book, which includes a CD of the speeches, tops the bestseller list on bookseller Amazon's Japanese Website, http://www.amazon.co.jp/. He said lawmakers from Japan's main opposition Democratic Party had bought the book to study Obama's speeches.

    　　Following Obama's inauguration(就职典礼), Asahi Press plans to issue a sequel(续集) that includes his inaugural address, as well as President John F. Kennedy's 1961 inaugural speech. It will also feature a reading of President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg address of 1863.

    64. Speeches by presidents and presidential candidates are excellent as listening tools to learn English because ________.

    the speakers are all great

    B. the speakers have high speech skills

    C. the language is full of humor

    D. the contents are good and the words are easy to catch

    Why do Japanese place their hopes in a foreign president?

    A. Because they don’t have politicians who have such a positive influence.

    B. Because they have the same attitude as the foreign presidents.

    C. Because they have never made a political speech.

    D. Because they hope to have a foreigner as their leader.

    Which is true about “The Speeches of Barack Obama”?

    A. It contains all Obama’s speeches .

    B. It has 1,050 pages with a CD.

    C. It includes his inaugural address.

    D. It is an especially popular book in Japan.

    Which of the following can best describe the main idea of the passage?

    A. Japan speaks highly of Obama president .

    B. Japan learns English from Obama speeches textbook .

    C. Obama gains his fame from his election speeches.

    D. Obama gives Japanese speeches on how to learn English.

    The fact that blind people can see things using parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color．If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color without knowing it．Salesmen have discovered by experience over a long period of time that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered not agreeable to the taste, and that cosmetics（化妆品） should never be packed in brown．These discoveries have grown into a whole subject of color psychology．

    Some of our preferences are clearly psychological．Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore connected with calm, while yellow is a day color connected with energy and encouragement．Experiments have shown that colors, partly because they are connected with psychology, also have a direct effect on people's mind．People in bright red surroundings show an increase in breathing speed, heartbeat and blood pressure．Red is exciting．Pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color．Being exciting, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but a closer study shows that a bright yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm, so fire engines in some advanced areas are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop buses, trucks and cars．

    1.The passage tells us that salesmen have____ ．

    A．tried colors on blind people

    B．found out that colors affect sales

    C．developed a special subject of color psychology

    D．discovered the relationship between color and psychology

    2.It can be inferred from the passage that__ _．

    A．blind people cannot sense color differences

    B．foods sell well in green or blue wrappings

    C．w hat color we prefer depends on our state of mind

    D．a bright color has exactly the opposite effect to red

    3.The most effective color in the passage for warning people is____．

    A．red

    B．dark blue

    C．green

    D．bright yellow

    4.If someone is in an angry mood, which color is better for him to become quiet?

    A．Red．

    B．Dark blue．

    C．Brown．

    D．Bright yellow

    5.Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?

    A．Colors and Feelings

    B．Colors and Sales

    C．The Blind and Colors

    D．Preferences for Colors

    Summer is a busy time for travel. For years, people have wondered whether they are safe from viruses when they travel in small, enclosed areas. They worry about close contact with others who may be sick.

    The current spread of a swine flu(猪流感) virus has added to these concerns. Recently, the World Health Organization raised its warning about the new H1N1 virus to its highest level. W.H.O. Director-General Margaret Chan declared the sickness a pandemic–a disease that has spread to many nations. Given this information, many people want to know how safe it is to travel?

    The answers people are getting may seem conflicting. For example, a W.H.O. statement urged nations not to close their borders or limit trade and travel. Director-General Chan said cases are generally not that serious for most people. Still, W.H.O. officials continue to report new cases across the world.

    In the past, the W.H.O. and experts noted guidance for disease spread on airplanes. The experts said you could get infected only if you sit within two rows of someone who is sick. That would be a distance of up to three meters from the sick person. And this was true only if you sat there for more than eight hours.

    But a travel-health expert says this guidance may not be helpful for swine flu. He suggests steps that could help prevent getting swine flu on an airplane. His advice includes keeping the airflow over your seat on the “low” position. The doctor says you should point the equipment so the flow of air is just in front of your face.

    Doctors say anyone with pain, swelling(肿胀) or red skin on a leg during or after a long trip may have a blood clot(凝块). Anyone with such signs should see a doctor as soon as possible. The condition many times can be treated with drugs that thin the blood and stop the clot from moving through the body.

    68．The underlined word “conflicting” is closest in meaning to ________.

    A. in disagreement        B. not true                           C. the same                          D. unbelievable

    69．According to Director-General Chan, the swine flu is ________.

    A. a disease spread on airplanes                                B. a very dangerous disease

    C. a disease requiring limit travel                              D. a widely spread disease

    70．Which of the following is the travel-health expert’s opinion on traveling in an airplane?

    A. It’s safe to sit within two rows of a sick person.

    B. It’s helpful to keep air flowing right before your face.

    C. It’s important for a passenger to stay in a plane within 8 hours.

    D. It’s certain that a passenger will have a blood clot after a long flight.

    71．What would be the best title for the text?

    A. Stop Traveling in Case of Swine Flu                  B. Experts’ Arguments Over Swine Flu

    C. Prevention of Swine Flu on the Trip                   D. No News Is the Best News

    Our listener question this week comes from Abdullahi Farah, who wants to know about the life and work of Doctor Benjamin Carson.

    Doctor Carson is an internationally recognized doctor at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. He has been the director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at the hospital for twenty-five years. At the age of thirty-three, he became one of the youngest doctors in the United States to hold that position. And he was the first African-American to have that position at Johns Hopkins Hospital.

    Ben Carson is known for his work as a brain surgeon for children. For example, in nineteen eighty-seven, he led a team of seventy doctors and nurses in an operation to separate two babies joined at the head. Earlier attempts by other surgeons on other babies had failed. Doctor Carson successfully performed the operation. Both babies were able to survive independently.

    Doctor Carson has written four books. His first book, "Gifted Hands," tells the story of his life. Benjamin Carson was born in nineteen fifty-one in Detroit, Michigan.

    As a boy, Ben was not a good student. In fact, he was the worst in his class. When his mother learned of his failing grades she asked her sons to read two library books every week. She limited the amount of time they watched television. And she told them to respect every person.

    Ben Carson soon became the top student in his class. He went on to study at Yale University, one of the best universities in the country, and later to medical school at the University of Michigan.

    Doctor Carson has received many awards and honors. Last year he received the nation's highest civilian honor. Former President George W. Bush presented Benjamin Carson with the Presidential Medal of Freedom at a ceremony at the White House.

    A．his hard work

    B．his teacher

    C．his mother
