"What you must remember is that, with a lot of hard work and some time, you will make new friends."‎ ‎"You don't know how hard it is. This year my baseball team would have won the championship. They won't even give me a chance to pitch(投球) here. All I get to play is right ‎ field, and that's the worst!"‎ Papa turned toward me. "Things will get better, I promise you.

Did he ever tell you that?" my father asked.‎ I looked down at my feet, ashamed at my behavior. "No. That must have been hard," I said sheepishly.‎ ‎"Your grandfather taught me that if you let people see your talent, they will accept you for who you are. I want you to always remember what my father taught me, even if it takes a few years for people to see who you are," said Papa.‎ All I could say was, "Okay."

In her new series ‎ "Colour me Healthy", Allen looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our feelings and even influence how healthy we are.‎ ‎ "Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same things?" says Allen. "Our toothpaste(牙膏) is always white or blue or maybe red. It's never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(产品) to be a bit disgusting. It's the same for businesses. We respect(尊重) a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don't respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy."‎ During this four-part series, Allen studies eight different colours, two colorus in each programme. She meets people who work in all aspects of the colour industry, from people who design food packets, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to support their ideas, such as the American "Colour Doctor" who believes that serious diseases can be cured by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising results.‎ Overall, it's an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Allen makes a special effort to be polite to everyone she meets on the series, it's up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.‎ ‎37. What is the writer doing in this text?‎ A. Giving his opinions on how different colours influence us.‎ B. Giving information about a new TV show about colours.‎ C. Giving information about a famous TV interviewer.‎ D. Giving his opinion of a recent TV show about colours.‎ ‎38. According to Allen in Paragraph 2, why is a knowledge of colour important?‎ A. It can help you choose the best products.‎ B. It can help you save a lot of money.‎ C. It can help cure serious diseases.‎ D. It can help you sell products.‎ ‎39. The underlined word "disgusting" probably means_______.‎ A. pleasant B. popular C. unpleasant D. unpopular ‎40. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Enjoy it, but don't believe everything.‎ B. Another great show from Allen!‎ C. Don't miss this if you work in Business!‎ D. Watch this programme! It will make you healthy!‎ 第二卷（三大题，共45分）‎ 四、单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10‎ 分）根据所给汉语注释或题干信息，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。每空只限一词。‎ ‎41. ▲ （有希望地），things will get better soon.‎ ‎42.
