Earthquakes can be very scary（吓人的）. But you need to keep your mind stable (坚定的) in order to make sure you are safe. Be calm and try not to run here and there.

If you manage to come out of your house, go to an open space like a garden or a park where you will be a lot safer. If you live quite some floors above in your building, try to find a place near a bulky(坚固的) object such as a bed. Curl up (蜷缩) and sit on the floor and make sure you are not near a window, fireplace, gas stove and so on. Remember don’t use lifts or escalators.

Some people say you should stand on a doorway. That is not true. If the doorway jambs (侧壁) are weak, they might fall on you. Also if people want to pass through that door, you may stop them. Leave all doorways free.

Another important thing to keep in mind is that you mustn’t climb down the stairs during an Earthquake. If the tremors (震动) stop, after a few seconds, just climb down the stairs as quickly as you can and move out of the building, but don’t run.

Earthquakes usually destroy gas pipes and electrical wires. Turn off the main gas. And don’t light candles or lighters and create an even bigger disaster.

If you’re driving and feel a shake, stop your car at the side of the road and get out. Make sure you are not on a bridge. Bridges and overhead roads (高架路) have the biggest danger of falling.

Suppose you are reading a book. Suppose you suddenly close your eyes, can you still see the book? "Of course not." you will say. But can you tell why? You would p__1. say, "When I close my eyes, my e__2.___ cannot get out of my eyes to get to the book." Many others might give an explanation(解释) very much like the above . But this explanation is w__3.___.

      You cannot see any object if light from that object doesn’t get into your eyes. Some of the things you see give off light of their own.

      The sun, the star, a lighted lamp are examples that can be seen by their own light. S__4.__ things are luminous(发光的). Most of the things you see are not giving off light of their own. They are simply reflecting(反射) light that falls on them from the sun or some other luminous bodies. The moon, for example, doesn't give off any light of i__5._ own. It's non-luminous. You see it because sunlight falls on it and some of it reflects in your d__6.__. So moonlight is only second-hand sunlight.

      When you look at a book, it sends to your eyes some of the light which falls on it, and you see the book. If light could be kept out from w__7.__ you are, so that there would be no light for the book to reflect, then you could not see the book e__8.__ with your eyes wide open.

      Light travels so fast that the time it t___9.__ from the book to your eyes is so s___10._ as if there was none at all. Light r___11.__ us from the moon, which is about 380,000 kilometers away, in only a little more than a s__12.__.

【小题1】 The best title for the passage should be       .

There are many colors in nature. But do you know if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.

First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.

Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.

The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.

According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue,? you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.

1.The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ___________.

A. a red box is heavier than a white one

B. a color has weight in one’s mind

C. white paper is lighter than red paper

D. you can know the weight of a color by holding it

2.Why did the scientist say colors have smell?

A. Because people can sense the light from colors.

B. Because we can smell colors with our nose.

C. Because every color has its own sweet smell.

D. Because every color can give off light of the same length.

3.It can be implied from the text that ___________.

A. colors have orders in weight

B. colors can change the weight of an object

C. people would stay longer in a room with red windows

D. colors can affect our mood and health

4.This passage is probably a ___________.
