26、Did you know that the color of sports suits can influence(影响) the performance of an athlete? It may sound strange, but a study suggests this might be true.
Two British scientists studied the results of four sports in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games where the athletes had been given either a red or a blue sports suit. They discovered that when there was a big difference in the score, color had no influence on the result. But if it is a close match, the athlete in a red sports suit was more likely to win. Then they looked at the sports suits of the soccer team at the Euro 2004 championship. Again, teams wearing red won more games.
The two scientists got their idea from earlier studies of wild animals. It had been discovered that when a male shows red on its body, it sends a signal(信号) of it power and strength. For example, in many kinds of monkeys, the more the male shows off its red scars(伤疤) the more females it can attract.
Based on (根据) this fact, the British scientists thought that the idea might work for humans, too. According to them, when an athlete sees a competitor in a red sports suit, he gets a feeling that his competitor could be stronger than him. And that kind of feeling may have a bad influence on the player’s performance in the actual game. Although the idea is interesting, most people don’t accept that color signals in the animal world can really be useful to human sports. They think that it is unreasonable to develop an idea based on such a small number of examples. Much more research has to be done to prove(证明) the influence of sports suit colors on the performance of athletes.
【1】What did the scientists find out about the 2004 Athens Olympic Games:
A.Athletes played equally well in four sports.
B.Game results had a big influence on the athletes.
C.Athletes dressed in red scored more in a close match.

【2】What may be the red scars of a male animal suggest?
A.It is quite strong.
B.It is a failure.
C.It is more powerful than other males.
D.It has attracted a lot of females.
【3】The underlined part “ that kind of feeling” in Paragraph 4 refers to a feeling of ________.
A.weakness
B.pride
C.danger
D.shame
【4】What is most people’s view on scientists’ idea?
A.Interested
B.Satisfied
C.Doubtful
D.Thankful.
27、It's school time again! You're probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little frightened on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these "new" worries only stick around for a little while. Let's find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the things you'll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often read classroom rules and school rules to you so you'll know what's allowed and what's not. Please pay close attention.
Seeing friends you haven't seen for some time can make the first day a good one. You might already know a lot of people in your class on the first day, but it's a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don't know. Make the first move and you'll be glad you did, and so will your new friends!
Being well-prepared for your first day of school is also of great importance. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers. It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you'll need. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don't have time in the morning.

D.Teach.

28、There are stock markets (股票市场) in large cities in many countries. Stock markets in Paris, London, Tokyo, Shanghai and New York are among the largest and most well-known. The stock, also called stock exchange, is a place where people can buy or sell shares of a factory or company. And each share means certain ownership(所有权) of a factory or company.
Different people go to stock markets. Some are rich, who want to get more money than they have. Others are not very rich, who buy stocks to try to become rich. Still others buy stocks as part of their plan to save money.
Of course, investing (投资) money in the stock market is not the safest way to make money.
No one can tell exactly whether the shares will be doing well. The factory or company may do badly. Then the stocks will go down, and the investors will lose money. The stock may go up or down for a number of untold reasons. Everyone wants the stock to go up, but sometimes even if a factory or company does a good job, the stock may still go down.
Going to the stock market is often like gambling (赌博). All want to make money by “gambling’ in the stock market. Factories and companies that need money are pleased that so many people are ready to “gamble”. Indeed, the stock market is an attractive(吸引人的) but complex part of the business world.
【1】 If you are a good investor, ________ in the stock market.

29、Do you care about what you wear? Some people are very particular about fashion, carefully selecting the clothes they buy and how they dress. But this trend (趋势) is changing as retro or vintage clothing is becoming a popular and often cheaper choice.
Vintage clothing is really second-hand clothing, worn before but given a better quality of life. The fashion industry has made it look trendy with a higher price. In the UK, one supermarket chain has started selling second-hand clothes in some of its stores under the brand, Preloved Vintage Wholesale. Its managing director Steve Lynam said, “The more people who buy into the recycling economy and buy vintage, the bigger impact we will have on climate change.”
Certainly, buying vintage does make the life of clothing last longer. It cuts down on waste and helps to reduce the environmental damage caused by the mass production of new clothes. It’s also led to the rise of retro-fashion—items that your mum or dad wore decades ago that now look “cool” again! It’s a big thing with younger people and has been helped by the rise of platforms like Depop, which sell “worn” clothes online. Ianina Lucca from Depop said, “The new generation is trying to make choices that alleviate their effect on the environment. 77% of the new generation say their biggest concern is that they want their choices to reduce waste.”
Another popular way of buying old clothes is in a vintage kilo sale. People pick what they want and then pay according to weight rather than per item. Some items are reworked by adding patterns and other additions. But however these second-hand clothes are worn or re-designed, the sustainability (可持续发展) of vintage fashion means it is likely to last for a long time.
【1】What does the underlined word “ alleviate ” in paragraph 3 most probably mean?
A.Produce.
B.Worsen.
C.Reduce.
D.Illustrate.
【2】What does the last paragraph suggest?
A.The age of vintage fashion is coming.
B.There’s still a long way to retro fashion.
C.Vintage fashion have little impact on nature.
D.More people will not choose second-hand clothing.
【3】Which word best describes the author’s attitude to vintage fashion?
A.Confused.
B.Positive.
C.Passive.
D.Doubtful.
【4】Where is this text most likely from?
A.A short story.
B.A fashion magazine.
C.A book review.
D.A news report.
