If you travel in some areas of India, you’ll be lucky enough to be waited on by special guides（向导）― monkeys. These monkeys are always ready to serve you. Hungry, you just need to poin t to your own stomach and they’ll lead you to the nearest restaurant. Thirsty, the monkeys will lead you to a bar. Tired, you put both of your hands behind your head and the monkeys will take you to the nearest hotel. Don’t feel surprised when they put out their hairy hands to you after the service is done. They are just asking for a little money as a tip. After that, they will wave their hands as if they are saying goodbye to you.
Believe it or not, these monkeys are from the school for monkeys in India, where they were trained for one year. They are not the only monkey students in the world. Some are being
trained as nurses in an American medical college. These monkeys are about to look after patients and help them with their housework.
A three-year-old monkey named Helen has learned to turn on TV, turn off lights, and open doors and windows when she is told to. Once the job is done, she will rush
to her master, hoping to get some food as a reward.
50. When you’re thirsty, the monkey will lead you to ________.
A. a bar
B. a hotel
C. a restaurant
D. a shop
51. According to the passage, monkeys aren’t trained to ________.
A. open doors
B. buy food
C. turn off lights
D. look after patients
52. What is probably the best title for this passage?
A. Funny Monkeys
B. Lovely Guides

D. Good Helpers
There are many colors in nature. But do you think that a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe it, you may do a small experiment.
First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the boxes. Third, wrap（包裹）one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you
will think the red one is a little heavier.
Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weights in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind.
The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs (器官).
According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, you like blue and hate red. If you stay in a room with red windows, wallpaper and furniture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. And, if a person walks out of a blue room and into a red room, his temperature will rise. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.
53. From the experiment, we know that ________.
A. the red box is heavier than the white one
B. colors can change the weight of an object
C. colors have different weights in people’s mind
D. the white piece of paper is lighter than the red one
54. When we walk from a red room into a blue one, ________.
A. we will feel very nervous
B. our body weight will change
C. our body temperature will fall
D. we will notice different smells
55. This passage is probably ________.
A. a science report
B. a news story
C. a historical record
D. an advertisement
“Hello.”—
the last
it is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of regrettable, because saying hello is more than
ones we think to use as adults. That’s
just saying hello —it’s the respect of another’s worth. How might the world change
— how might we change — if we have mastered this word? To find out, I spent one
month saying hello to every person I met. Here’s what I’ve learnt.
It can improve productivity. In one of the few studies ever done on this subject,
Allan Allday, an assistant professor of special education at Oklahoma State University,
had middle school teachers greet their students individually each mornin g. This exchange of greetings raised the kid’s productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that led to more class participation（参与）and better grades.
Environments influence friendliness. One study found that people in the city were
less likely to shake hands with a stranger than those in the countryside. And, researchers s ay, pleasant environments generally encourage more smiles and hellos
than unpleasant ones. My experience was similar. Whatever
the reason, my hellos in
the city were answered far less often than the ones in the countryside. Similarly,
people in vacation areas, like the Jersey Shore, were far more friendly than those hurrying to work downtown.
It’s a form of health insurance（保险）. It’s impossible to say hello without smiling. And smiling has been shown to lower blood pressure, lighten unpleasant
feelings and improve happiness. It seems that saying hello creates a similar influence.
So maybe we can make the world a better place by saying hello. After a month of
well-being.
doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of
56. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. People can say hello since they are born.
B. Saying hello is a way to show respect to others.
C. People lose the ability to say hello when they grow up.
D. Saying hello is a way to change the world completely.
57. Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?
A. Students will get good grades by saying hello very often.
B. An assistant professor likes greeting his students every morning.
C. The teacher who often says hello to students is very popular at school.
D. Kids will be more active in class by exchanging greetings with teachers.
58. From the passage, we learn that ________.
A. smiles can take the place of hellos
B. people living in the city refuse to say hello
C. environments play a role in creating friendliness
D. having health insurance is more important than saying hello
59. The underlined word “well-being” in the last paragraph means ________.
