This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity. However, that is not always the case. Did you know that the same one colour may mean differently in different places of the world? In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning. People wear black clothes at the funeral. Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血). Yellow is the word for fear. If you are afraid, you are yellow. Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world. In China and Korea white is the colour of mourning. In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence. In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear. Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions (矛盾). A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station. In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman. Both names are logical because both men wear red caps. Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker. One does not have to cross an area to find color differences. Would you rather be red-blooded? If we
go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest. The expression "blueblood" comes from Spain, where some noble families proudly said that they had "blue blood". But then why "blue" blood? Because they were fairskinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue. 21. Yellow is concerned with anger in _______. A. Russia B. Britain C. Germany D. China 22. The two meanings of the term "redcap" form a difference in
_______. A. pronunciation B. climate C. logical relationship D. custom 23. Both Britain and America would probably agree that _______. A. black is the color of mourning B. a black-coated worker is employed in an office C. red stands for beauty and excellence D. a redcap is a porter in a station 24. The best title for this passage is _______. A. The Origin of Blue Blood B. The Development of the Symbolic Use of Colors C. Colors that Carry Bad Meanings D. The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors 25. When some Spanish called themselves "blueblood", they actually meant _______. A. they had heart trouble and their faces looked blue B. they came from a noble family C. they had blue blood in their vessels D. they were fairskinned
B Statistically, air travel is by far the safest way to tavel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules. As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil (零), many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne (升空的). Fly on non-stop routes Most accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures. Choose larger aircarft.
w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.m Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are
designed to comply (遵守) with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply. Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival. Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefing The information may seem repetitious (重复的), but it's worth listening to the flight attendants. And even if you've flown before, it doesn't mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit. Store things safely Never put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins. They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury. Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence (气流). Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seated Cabin crew always tell you this, but it's important. You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence. Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to. The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later. Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinks Flight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you. Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them. 26. What is the overall reason for these air safety tips? A. What to do in the event of a crash. B. How to avoid turbulence. C. How to improve safety while you are flying. D. How to avoid injury. 27. The underlined word "those" in the second tip refers to _______. A. smaller planes B. passengers C. larger aircraft D. safety records 28. The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth tip refers to _______. A. anything the flight staff tell you to do B. general safety advice C. walking around the plane D. pouring hot drinks 29. Which of the following is NOT
true? A. Larger planes have more safety checks and are safe in an accident. B. Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings. C. Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different. D. Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence. 30. The best title of the passage should be _______. A. The Safest Way to Travel B. Air Safety Tips C. Non-stop Routes D. How to Fly a Plane
