If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark-colored cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.

Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the color. According to some scientists, this happens for two reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink can affect (影响) the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.

Some parents are worried too—for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, who has two girls under the age of four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. “Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I’m worried that pink will not help them with that,” she says.

But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he isn’t worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time,” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they were little, but as they get older, they change.” Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink clothes anymore. “This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change,” he adds. “It’s only since the 1940s that people have started dressing girls in pink—before that it was a color for boys.”

8. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

A.  B.  C.  D.

9. The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 3 means ________.

A. being soft and gentle B. being strong and powerful

C. being gentle but powerful D. being cute and beautiful

10. According to Grayson Turner, ________.

A. parents needn’t worry about pink toys B. all little kids love the color pink

C. pink has always been a color for girls D. his girls now prefer the color blue

11. The purpose of this passage is to ________.

A explain why girls are crazy about the color pink

B. make parents less worried about the color pink

C. encourage girls to give up playing with pink toys

D. show people’s different opinions about the color pink

D

There is a glass on the table, filled up halfway with water. How would you describe the glass: half empty or half full? If your answer was “half full”, then prepare yourself for an exciting life in which anything is possible. If you said “half empty” on the other hand, you might just fail to do something or be worried about your life. It may sound crazy, but that’s the power of positive (积极的) thinking!

Experts believe that positive thinking has several important benefits (好处). First, it can make us feel happy about our life. If someone focuses on all of the good things that they have, he is much less likely to feel bad about his life. Compare that to someone who’s always talking about the bad side of any situation, the positive thinker will be the happier of the two.

Positive thinking can also improve our health. One study showed that it takes shorter to recover (恢复) from diseases for people with positive thinking while it takes longer for those who are always in depressing feeling. Also, people who are highly stressed are easier to catch a cold and the flu.

Another benefit is that positive thinking can influence the world around us. In the 2006 book The Secret, author Rhonda Byrne describes a “law of attraction”. This law is according to the idea that positive thinking attracts positive things. If you think about a new sports car, you might just get one.

Positive thinking may improve our minds, bodies, and even the world, but how do we get started? According to Richard Wiseman, an expert of psychology (心理学), the best way to change how we think is to change our behavior. He believes that if someone practices smiling every day, he or she will think happier thoughts.

12. What does it mean if you describe a half glass of water “half full”?

A. You may fail to do something. B. Your life may sound crazy.

C. You may have an exciting life. D. Your life may be impossible.

13. What does the underlined word “depressing” in Para. 3 probably mean?

A. Bright. B. Similar. C. Upset. D. Normal.

14. What does Para. 5 mainly talk about?

A. The idea of positive thinking. B. The way to start positive thinking.

C. The benefits of positive thinking. D. The way to improve positive thinking.

15. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. People with stress are difficult to get ill. B. Positive thinkers are more likely to feel sad.

C. There are two benefits of positive thinking. D. Positive thinking might bring you what you want.
