More than 2.25 billion cups of coffee are drunk throughout the world each day, and it's likely that many taste bitter. Now, a new study suggests that coffee fans can make their drink sweeter by changing the color of their cups.

Researchers from Oxford set out to prove whether the claim that coffee drunk from a white cup tastes biter was true. They used 36 volunteers and three different colored cups---blue, white and transparent glass--- to examine the claim.

In one experiment, the white cup increased the intensity (濃度) of the coffee taste relative to the transparent cup. Then, in a second experiment, coffee drunk from the white cup was found to taste less sweet when compared to the other colored cups, while the blue cup made the coffee taste the sweetest.

The scientists believe that the color brown may be associated with bitterness, and coffee in a white cup appears the brownest. “Our study clearly shows that the color of a cup does influence our sense of the coffee taste,” leading author Dr George Doorn, wrote in an article for The Conversation. “The effect of the color of the cup on the taste of the coffee reported here suggests that cafe owners should carefully consider the color of their cups,” he said. “The potential effects may spell the difference between a one-time purchase and a return customer.” Actually, the idea that color can change the food and drink taste came out many years ago. A study published last year reported that red, strawberry-flavored cake served on a white plate was rated as 10 percent sweeter than the same food presented on a black plate.

1.The passage is mainly about _____.

A. the popularity of sweet coffee.

B. an experiment made in Oxford.

C. the effect of cup color on coffee's taste

D. useful tips on how to make coffee.

2. In which cup will coffee taste the sweetest?

A. A white cup. B. A blue cup.

C. A transparent cup D. A brown cup

3. Café owners should consider their cups' color in order to ______.

A. reduce the daily expenses

B. show their taste in coffee

C. appeal to more customers

D. make their café different.

4.We learn from the passage that_____.

A. coffee in a white cup tastes sweeter than that in a transparent glass

B. over 2 billion cups of sweet coffee are drunk worldwide each year.

C. Dr. George Doorn wrote an article about making conversations.

D. the idea that color could affect the taste of drink is not new.

Margaret, married with two small children, has been working for the last seven years as a night cleaner, cleaning offices in a big building．

She got trained as a nurse, but had to give it up when her elder child became seriously ill．“I would have liked to go back to it , but the shifts(工作班次)are all wrong for me, as I have to be home to get the children up and off to school．”

So she works as a cleaner instead, from 9 p．m．till 6 a．m．five nights a week for just ￡ 90, before tax and insurance．“It’s better than it was last year, but I still think that people who work ‘unsocial hours’ should get a bit extra．”

The hours she’s chosen to work mean that she sees plenty of the children, but very little of her husband．However, she doesn’t think that puts any pressure on their relationship．

Her work isn’t physically very hard, but it’s not exactly pleasant, either．“I do get angry with people who leave their offices like a place for raising pigs．If they realized people like me have to do it, perhaps they’d be a bit more careful．”

The fact that she’s working all night doesn’t worry Margaret at all．Unlike some dark buildings at night, the building where she works is fully lit, and the women work in groups of three．“Since I’ve got to be here, I try to enjoy myself－and I usually do, together with the other girls．We all have a good laugh, so the time never drags．”

Another challenge Margaret has to face is the reaction of other people when she tells them what she does for a living．“They think you’re a cleaner because you don’t know how to read and write,” said Margaret．“I used to think what my parents would say if they knew what I’d been doing, but I don’t think that way any more．I don’t dislike the work though I can’t say I’m mad about it．”

1.Margaret quit her job as a nurse because ______

A．she wanted to earn more money to support her family

B．she had suffered a lot of mental pressure

C．she needed the right time to look after her children

D．she felt tired of taking care of patients

2.Margaret gets angry with people who work in the office because ______

A．they never clean their offices

B．they look down upon cleaners

C．they never do their work carefully

D．they always make a mess in their offices

3.When at work, Margaret feels ______

A．light-hearted because of her fellow workers

B．happy because the building is fully lit

C．tired because of the heavy workload

D．bored because time passes slowly

4.The underlined part in the last paragraph implies that Margaret’s parents would _____ ．

A．help care for her children

B．regret what they had said

C．show sympathy for her

D．feel disappointed with her

Imagine a world in which there were suddenly no emotion — a world in which human beings could feel no love or happiness, no terror or hate．Try to imagine the consequences of such a transformation．People might not be able to stay alive: knowing neither joy nor pleasure, anxiety nor fear, they would be as likely to repeat acts that hurt them as acts that were beneficial．They could not learn: they could not benefit from experience because this emotionless world would lack rewards and punishments．Society would soon disappear: people would be as likely to harm one another as to provide help and support．Human relationships would not exist: in a world without friends or enemies, there could be no marriage, affection among companions, or bonds among members of groups．Society's economic underpinnings (支柱) would be destroyed: since earning $10 million would be no more pleasant than earning $10, there would be no incentive (動(dòng)力) to work．In fact, there would be no incentives of any kind, for as we will see, incentives mean a capacity to enjoy them.

In such a world, the chances that the human species would survive are next to zero, because emotions are the basic instruments of our survival and adaptation．Emotions structure the world for us in important ways．As individuals, we categorize objects on the basis of our emotions．True, we consider the length, shape, size or texture, but an object's physical aspects are less important than what it has done or can do to us — hurt us, surprise us, anger us or make us joyful．We also use categorizations colored by emotions in our families, communities, and overall society．Out of our emotional experience with objects and events comes a social feeling of agreement that certain things and actions are "good" and others are "bad", and we apply these categories to every aspect of our social life — from what foods we eat and what clothes we wear to how we keep promises and which people our group will accept．In fact, society uses our emotional reactions and attitudes, such as loyalty, morality, pride, shame, guilt, fear and greed, in order to maintain itself．It gives high rewards to individuals who perform important tasks such as surgery, makes heroes out of individuals for unusual or dangerous achievements such as flying fighter planes in a war, and uses the legal penal (刑法的) system to make people afraid to engage in antisocial acts.

1.Which of the following is TRUE according to the first paragraph?

A．people would not be able to tell the physical aspects of objects．

B．People would not know what was beneficial and what was harmful to them．

C．$ 10 million is equal to $ 10 in a world without emotions．

D．There would be full of lies, arguments and violence．

2.In can be inferred from the passage that the economic foundation of society is dependent on ________.

A．the ability to make money

B．the capacity to work

C．the motivation to work

D．our emotional experiences

3.Why are the emotional aspects of an object more important than its physical aspects?

A．They help society use its members for more profit.

B．They encourage us to perform important tasks in the war.

C．They help to perfect the legal and penal system to make people afraid.

D．They help us adapt our behaviors to the world surrounding us.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A．People could only live in a world with emotions.

B．People would always do bad things in the emotionless world.

C．Emotions are very important in the world.

D．Emotions structure the world for us in important ways.

In 2012, the Tower of London welcomed two new inhabitants: a pair of ravens(烏鴉) named Jubilee and Grip． Their arrival celebrated the bicentenary(二百周年) of Charles Dickens’s birth． This Grip was the third of the Tower ravens to be named after the novelist’s own pet bird．One of his predecessors（前輩） was resident during World War Two; he and his mate Mabel were the only ravens to survive a bombing attack on the Tower．

Dickens’s Grip, who had an impressive vocabulary, appears as a character in the author’s fifth novel, Barnaby Rudge． On 28 January 1841, Dickens wrote to his friend George Cattermole: “my notion is to have [Barnaby] always in company with a pet raven, who is immeasurably more knowing than himself． To this end I have been studying my bird, and think I could make a very distinctive character of him．”

Unfortunately, just a few weeks after Dickens wrote that letter, Grip died, probably as a result of having stolen and eaten paint some months earlier． The bird had developed a strange habit – tearing sections off painted surfaces (including the family's carriage) and even drinking a quantity of white paint out of a tin． Dickens mourned his loss and wrote a humorous letter to his friend, the illustrator Daniel Maclise, about the raven’s death．

He related how, when Grip began to show signs of sickness, the vet was called and “administered a powerful dose of castor(蓖麻) oil”． Initially this seemed to have a positive effect and the author was thrilled to see Grip restored to his usual personality when he bit the coachman (who was used to the raven and took it in good humor)． The following morning, Grip was able to eat “some warm porridge”, but his recovery was short lived．

As Dickens wrote to Maclise, “On the clock striking twelve he appeared slightly upset, but soon recovered, walking twice or thrice along the coach-house, stopped to bark, exclaimed ‘Hello old girl’ (his favorite expression) and died．He behaved throughout with a decent manner, which cannot be too much admired．The children seem rather glad of it． He bit their ankles． But that was play．”

1.Which of the following is right about Dickens’s pet Grip?

A． he liked painting a lot．

B． he could speak English fluently．

C． he was quite ill before his death．

D． he and Mabel survived a bombing attack．

2.Why did Dickens study his bird Grip?

A． Because the bird was very strange looking．

B． Because Dickens liked the bird immeasurably．

C． Because Barnaby needs a companion who was always with him．

D． Because Dickens wanted to base one character of his novel on him．

3.What caused the death of Dickens’s Grip?

A． His old age．

B． His strange diet．

C． The killing of the coachman．

D． His bad habit of biting people．

4.Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

A． A bird in a novel．

B． The writer’s bird．

C． The death of a bird．

D． Dickens and his bird

It is said that there’s no such thing as a free lunch, but even if you manage to bag a bargain meal, it will not taste as good as a more expensive choice, according to scientists.

A new study has found that restaurant goers who pay more for their meals think the food is tastier than offered for a smaller price. The experts think that people tend to associate cost with quality and this changes their perception(感知) of how food tastes.

Scientists at Cornell University studied the eating habits of 139 people enjoying an Italian buffet in a restaurant. The price of the food was set by the researchers at either $4 or $8 for the all-you-can-eat meal. Customers were asked to rate how good the food tasted, the quality of the restaurant and to leave their names.

The experiment showed that the people who paid $8 enjoyed their meal 11% more than those who ate the “cheaper” buffet. Interestingly those that paid for the $4 buffet said they felt guiltier about loading up their plates and felt that they overate. However, the scientists said that both groups ate around the same quantity of food in total.

Brian Wansink, a professor of consumer behavior at the university, said: “We were fascinated to find that pricing has little effect on how much one eats, but a huge effect on how you interpret the experience.” He thinks that people enjoyed their food more as they associated cost with quality and that small changes to a restaurant can change how tasty people find their meals.

In a previous study, researchers from the university showed that people who eat in bright lighting consume more than people who eat in less brightly lit areas.

1. We can learn from the passage that ________.

A. there were 139 subjects involved in the new study

B. a free lunch might be as delicious as you expected

C. the high pricing will change the exact taste of the food

D. in the experiment, the price of the food ranged from $4 to $8

2.According to the passage, which of the following factors has an effect on the quantity of food a person consumes?

A. The taste of the food.

B. The price of the food.

C. The number of companions.

D. The lighting of the restaurant.

3.Who will benefit most from the new study?

A. The person who runs a restaurant.

B. The person who often eats outside.

C. The person who works on decoration.

D. The person who studies in university.

4.The passage is intended to ________.

A. promote marketing methods

B. inform readers of a new study

C. teach consumers how to eat better

D. find the association between cost and quality
