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 (象征) 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 (災禍).
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反應) 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 stomach aches.
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 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.

解析試題分析：本文敘述了為什么給姑娘選擇粉紅色或紫色而給男孩選擇藍色或棕色，對此的回答主要取決于文化價值和個人經歷。人們對顏色的選擇也取決于人們身體對顏色的反應。紅色會導致一個人的血壓上升和食欲增加。藍色是另外一種令人鎮靜的顏色，不像是紅色，藍色會使人們喪失食欲。
【小題1】細節理解題。根據The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences.可知故選A。
【小題2】推理判斷題。飯店的理由是血壓上升，食欲大增，而購物網站只能是C了。常識告訴我們紅色不能使人身體放松，故選C。
【小題3】細節理解題。Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. 故選C。
【小題4】細節理解題。。正常境況是這樣?第一句設問句?只能說是引語?第二句對問題的回答才是主題句?所以主題句應該是The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. 其實不然。根據五段式分析?第一句話即第一自然段提出問題?但是沒有回答。第二段、第三段和第四段分別是回答?第五自然段是建議部分。故選C。
考點：科普類短文閱讀。
點評：推理判斷題屬于主觀題，是層次較高的題目。它包括判斷和推理題。這兩類題常常相互依存，推理是為了做出正確的判斷，正確的判斷又依賴于合乎邏輯的推理。該題要求在理解表面文字的基礎上做出判斷和推論，從而得到文章的隱含意思和深層意思，也就是通過文章中的文字信息，上下邏輯關系及事物的發展變化等已知信息，推斷出作者沒有直接表達的態度和觀點。

When you put down your pens at the end of the college entrance exam, 12 hard years of study will have come to an end. Forget your studies for a while. It's time to enjoy yourselves!
There are many ways to celebrate this special month of graduation. You can have photos taken with your classmates and teachers, or dine out together and exchange gifts.
High school students in Western countries such as the United States and Canada usually have a prom to mark their graduation. It's to mark the time kids turn into young men and women. After the prom, teenagers either go to college or find a job. It means they are no longer as dependent on their parents as they were before.
At the prom, boys usually dress in dinner jackets and bow ties, though many different types of formal clothes are worn. Traditionally, girls give boys matching boutonnieres (a small collection of flowers they pin to their jackets). Girls traditionally wear formal dresses, or dress to shock or be noticed, in shiny or brightly colored materials.
Common prom activities include dining, dancing, the crowning (加冠) of a prom king and queen, and just talking to friends. In some cases, high school students collect funds for their class prom through the four years of their high school.
High schools in or near large cities may rent ballrooms at expensive hotels or, to be unusual, on a pleasure cruise boat.
But often costs are cut by simply using the school gym. Students make a lot of effort to decorate the gym to make the event special. The music played at the prom will be the most popular kinds, like rock and hip-hop.
The students elect the Prom Queen. She is partnered with a Prom King who is elected similarly. These are great honors that the pair take very seriously. The two dance with each other to celebrate their election.
Sometimes teachers and parents also go to the prom. But others like to go with friends, to whom they are soon going to be saying goodbye.
If you like the idea of a prom, why don't you and your classmates organize one for your graduation?
What does the word “prom” probably mean in the passage?
A．A dancing competition. B.A party held to celebrate graduation.
C．A fashion show. D．An election.
Which of the following is an economical way to hold the prom?
A．Renting a ballroom. B．Taking a cruise boat.
C．Holding it in the school gym. D．Wearing formal dresses.
Which of the following clearly indicates that prom is very important to students?
A．They take pictures at the prom. B．They wear formal clothes or special clothes.
C．Music is played at the prom. D．Teachers and parents attend it.
Why do some students attend the prom with their friends?
A．They want to be elected by their friends us the Prom King or Queen.
B．They don’t like to be accompanied by their parents.
C．They don’t want to depend on their parents.
D．They will part with their friends in a short time.
Why is the prom so important to students?
A．They have chances to be elected as the Prom King or Queen.
B．They can be relieved from the study pressure.
C．They are going to say goodbye to their friends.
D. The prom is to mark the graduation and after it they will be independent.

A grave of a man dating back to around 2300 BC was found by archaeologists in England On May 3, 2002. Buried with him were the tools of a hunter or warrior. There was a bone pin that may have been from a piece of clothing such as a leather coat. He carried a copper knife on his breast. The most amazing find was two gold earrings. That would have made him a man of distinction. Only a few centimeters from his head were two pots made of clay, tools and materials to make arrows, a bow and a dozen arrows for hunting and a second, smaller copper knife. Next to them lay a cushion stone, upon which the man could work metal.
His grave is the richest of any found from that period, because this man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest gold ever found in Britain (dated to 2470 BC). Besides, he was buried three miles from Stonehenge. Archaeologists tend to believe he was a member of a powerful class who might have organized the construction of Stonehenge.
Stonehenge was begun around 3000 BC. In about 2300 BC the huge stone circles were built. The biggest stone weighed approximately 20 tons. But the smaller blue stones, still weighing 4 tons on average, came from west Wales. It is not yet known how these were conveyed over a distance of 380 km. It is also a mystery how early man was able to construct Stonehenge without the use of modern construction machines and lorries.
He is an example of people who brought culture and new techniques from the European mainland to Britain. In terms of technical development people were going from the Stone Age to the Bronze Age and then to the Iron Age.
