【文章內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)介】 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 nervousB. our body weight will changeC. our body temperature will fallD. we will notice different smells55. This passage is probably ________. A. a science report B. a news story C. a historical record D. an advertisementD“Hello.” — it is one of the first words we learn as babies, yet it’s one of the last ones we think to use as adults. That’s regrettable, because saying hello is more than 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 morning. This exchange of greetings raised the kid’s productivity. School went from impersonal to personal, and that led to more class participation（參與）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 say, 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（保險(xiǎn)）. 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 doing it, I feel lighter and more connected and I have a better sense of wellbeing.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 pletely.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 friendlinessD. having health insurance is more important than saying hello59. The underlined word “wellbeing” in the last paragraph means ________. A. health and happiness B. fort and quietness C. pride and confidence D. peace and hopefulness 七、閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從短文后的五個(gè)選項(xiàng)中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)。選項(xiàng)中有一項(xiàng)為多余選項(xiàng)。（共8分，每小題2分）Charley was a high school student.
