26、 We talk about people being "color-blind” but very few of us are. Even those who describe themselves as color-blind are normally just color deficient (缺陷) Strongly color-blind person will sill be able to tell 20 different colors, compared to the 100 or so that normal-sighted people see.
Pingelap, a tiny island in the Pacific is a beautiful spot but one that has a genetic trouble. It is known as Color Blind Island because so many people who live on this remote island can only see in black and white.
Not being able to see in color is bad enough. But one islander, Herrol, who's a fisherman, also struggles in full sunlight because all he sees is a painful burnt-out image.“I find it difficult to go outside in the sun," he says, "because when it's sunny! cannot see to do my work."
But if being truly color blind is rare, why is it that around 10% of the population of Pingelap live in a totally black-and- white world?
Well, we know that in 1780 the population of Pingelap was almost wiped out by a tsunami. As few as 20 people survived, one of whom was the king. Ir's believed he had a genetic fault that that causes color-blindness and he passed this fault on to his many generations.
There is one advantage. Herrol can see well,really well, in the dark. So when it gets dark, Herrol and his friends get in their boats and hunt flying fish. They hang up flaming torches and the fish are attracted to the flames. "This type of fishing is fun," Herrol says, especially if we catch pens.So even though it's hard work we enjoy it."
【1】What is Pingelap famous as?

【3】Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

D.The Advantage of Color Blindness.
27、Experts have long debated the best diet for health. They believe that it's not just what we eat that's important for good health but when we eat. When our diet pattern matches the biological clock well, our body can work at its best. Breaking the rule—by eating late meals or having night snacks—could lead to weight gain and metabolic (新陈代谢) trouble.
Many people, however, eat from roughly the time when they wake up until shortly before they go to bed. Studies show that the average person starts with something like milk and coffee shortly after rising and ends with a glass of wine, a late-night meal or a handful of chips, nuts or some other snacks shortly before bed. That pattern of eating is against our biological rule.
Scientists have long known that the human body has a master clock in the brain, which controls our sleep-wake cycles in response to bright light exposure (暴露). A couple of decades ago, researchers discovered that there is not just one clock in the body but a collection of them. Every organ has a clock that controls its daily cycle of activities. Studies show that in every organ, thousands of genes (基因) are turned on and turned off at roughly the same time every day.
We've lived on this planet for thousands of years, and while many things have changed, there has always been one unchanged: Every single day the sun rises and at night it falls. We're designed to have 24-hour patterns in our body. These patterns exist because, just like our brains need to go to sleep each night to repair and reset themselves, every organ needs to have time to repair and reset itself as well.
【1】What should we do according to paragraph 1?
A.Don't eat too much.
B.Try to lose weight.
C.Have a low-fat and low-sugar diet.
D.Have early meals for the night.
【2】What is the main idea of the second paragraph?
A.Eating Behaviors against the biological clock.
B.People's preference for a balanced diet.
C.Lifestyle of an ordinary busy person.
D.People's healthy eating habits.
【3】What do we know about the clocks in our body?
A.They are in our brains.
B.They control activities of each organ.
C.They are influenced by what we eat.
D.One clock control the other clocks.
【4】What is the best title of the text?
A.Select the Best Diet Habit
B.Reset the Clocks in Your Body
C.Choose a proper time to eat
D.Be Careful of Your Eating
28、Have you ever wondered why certain people always say they are lucky? Some people say the secret of being born lucky is probably a summer birthday. May babies are the most likely to enjoy a lifetime of good fortune, a study of 40,000 people has found. The time of year you are born has a lasting influence on optimism (乐观) and whether people think they are lucky, British and Swedish scientists said. May is the luckiest month to be born in, with half of those born then considering themselves lucky. October is the least lucky month with only 43 percent claiming good fortune.
The study adds to evidence that luck is not all down to chance, but is also affected by a person’s attitude. Another research has shown that whether people think themselves lucky depends more on having a “glass half-full” (instead of “half-empty”) approach to life, than on success. Professor Richard Wiseman, who led the study, said, “Something is influencing how people feel about their luck. People create their own luck through their attitude towards life.”
Luck is a psychological phenomenon (心理现象) and not a matter of blind chance. There could be two reasons why those born in spring and summer reported themselves luckier than those born in autumn or winter. “One theory is that the temperature at the time of birth might be helpful to the development of the brain.” He said. “People born in winter are more likely to suffer from depression”. He said another possible reason is that mothers may be in a bad mood during winter, which influences their babies. The researchers said their findings were based on statistics only, and would not be true for everyone.
What’s depression? Clinical depression is when one feels so sad and hopeless that sometimes he can’t imagine being happy. The misery (苦恼) becomes so deep that you don’t feel like participating in life. People who are chronically depressed usually have physical problems like stomachaches, headaches, and lack of energy. As you probably know, some people experience such deep depression that they believe suicide (kill yourself) is the only way to escape their pain.
【1】Why can your birthday influence your attitude towards life?
A. The time of your birthday decides how fortunate you will be.
B. Mothers may feel differently in different seasons, and their moods influence their babies.
C. How successful you will be lies in the hour of your birthday.
D. How you feel about your health is influenced by the time of your birthday.
【2】Having a “glass half-full” approach to life is a (an) ________ attitude.
A. optimistic B. pessimistic (悲观的)
C. lucky D. depressing
【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People born in summer are probably more optimistic than those born in winter.
B. A person’s luck may be affected by his attitude.
C. Depression may harm one’s physical health.
D. Luck is never a matter of chance.
【4】According to the research result, one’s luck mainly depends on ________.
A. chance B. the month to be born in
C. one’s attitude to life D. health state
29、 Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (经济上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day.
