Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my 23 Christmas there special and memorable（值得记忆的）, I 24 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I wanted to create that same feeling of 25 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I26 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125 orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party.

III阅读理解（共10小题，每题2分，满分20分）
A
Every person has its own way of saying things, and it’s their own special expressions. Many everyday American expressions are based on colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pick when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song –Mood Indigo –about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song: “You ain’t been blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green. Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations.
36．What’s the passage mainly talked about?
A．Some American expressions based on colors.
B．Colors used in American daily life.
C．Different feelings based on different colors.
D．Different functions about various colors.
37．“In the pink” means “in good health” because.
A．the face of healthy people is pink
B．pink is lighter kind of red, which stands for blood

C．a well-known recorded D．a beautiful song
39．A person earns a good fame as well as lots of money, so his competitor will probably say.
A．I’m red hot about him B．I’m in the pink

B
Houseplants clean the air and brighten a room. Occasionally, they drive us mad as we wonder how exactly we managed to kill yet another "unkillable" houseplant. (In that way, they provide great lessons in perseverance as well!) But it looks like there's one more great reason to grow houseplants: their presence in your workspace might actually make you smarter.
According to a recent study published in The Journal of Environmental Psychology, just having plants in your work space is enough to increase your attention span. An increase in attention span means that we're able to remember more of what we read. To test the hypotheses, the study's authors gave subjects a Reading Span Task, which requires reading sentences aloud, then remembering the last word in each sentence. This requires reading, memorization, and recall abilities, and switching between the three.
The researchers had their entire test pool complete Reading Span Tasks to get a baseline reading. Then they moved some of the people to a room with no plants, and others to a room that had four plants around the desk. They were all asked to repeat the Reading Span Tasks, and the people who worked near a plant improved overall, while those without plants stayed roughly the same.
Beauty, fresh air, the joy of caring for another living thing — all great reasons to have a few houseplants around. If they help increase attention spans, all the better!
41．The study shows that growing houseplants can.
A．clean the air B．make the house beautiful
C．increase attention spans D．have the joy of caring
42．People in the study were asked to.
A．read sentences slowly B．recall all the information
C．memorize each sentence correctly D．change between the three abilities
43．The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means.
A．ideas B．research
C．theories D．experiments
44．In the last paragraph, the writer.
A．places an advertisement B．comments on the study
C．shows his/her opinion D．gives people a warning
45．From the underlined sentence in the first paragraph, we can know______.
A. It is illegal to kill a houseplant
B. It is a wonder to manage to kill an unkillable houseplant
C. We feel guilty for having caused the death of a houseplant
D. Driving can make a person mad

What’s more, the robots were in different kinds and shapes, which made us enjoyable. In addition, that excited me most was the show given by a group of robots.

The great human wisdom is so powerful that it make us feel more comfortable live in the world.
