It's very interesting. Some colors can make people feel relaxed, and some colors can make people feel nervous. Now, this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students' eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food, but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they've learned from scientific studies. The color red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colors like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed, so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first, but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.（1）How does the color green make the students feel?A. Hungry.B. Nervous.C. Angry.D.

They stood in a circle, with 30 more stones lying on topto form a ring of rocks. There was also an inner circle built with similar stones. The stones set upin a trilithon（巨石牌坊） pattern.A trilithon is made of two stone pillars with a stab of rock laid across the top. The stones weighup to 20 tons each. People wonder how the huge rocks were placed that way.Historians agree that Stonehenge was built in three different stages. The first stage took place about 5, 000 years ago. At that time, a large circular earth wall was made. Historians believe thewall was dug and cut with tools made form anglers（鹿角）of red deer. The earth wall was about 98m in diameter（直径） a 5-meter-tall stone was placed near the center. Then, they hadto transport the large blue stones （up to 4 tons） 384 kilometers to Stonehenge. Experts thinkthey might be moved across ice and snow. The ground in winter in this area is usually full of iceand snow, making it easier to move the rocks. The next task was to stand the stones up. The most difficult task was putting the top stones in place. Each one of these tasks took a lot of planningand a lot of strength, but the workers of Stonehenge were excellent builders.Why was the monument built? Some scientists think it's a burial ground. There are over 400 graves （burial sits） nearby. A man was buried with two gold earrings which are the oldest goldever found in Britain （dated to 2470 BC）. Others think Stonehenge was built by early astronomers. Scientists believe that when a person stands in the center of the monument, the changing of seasons can be seen. Certain stones mark the location of the rising and setting moonin midwinter. Other stones mark the rising and setting sun in midsummer. The ancient peopleheld religious ceremonies on these days. These ceremonies probably asked the gods to bringgood weather for crops and to protect the people from bad weather.Stonehenge is an engineering success. Thousands of years later, it still stands. As a calendar, Stonehenge is very accurate. It shows that early people had a deep understanding of the movements to the sun and the moon. They didn't have machines or computers, but Stonehenge shows people could do many things using only their muscles and their brains.（1）he first building stage of Stonehenge was ________.A. to dig and cut the earth wallB. to move the blue stones across the iceC. to stand the stones upD. to put the top stones in place（2）Which evidence（证据） is given to support the idea that Stonehenge was a burial ground?A.

Others grow up small and unhealthy. In search of food, hungry deer move closer to where humans live. They eat farm crops, vegetables and even trees. Besides, increased numbers of deer near roads can cause traffic accidents.People admire the grace and fast speed of deer. Most people don't want these animals to be hungry and ill. Should people take action to control the growing deer populations?Should People Take Direct Action?Many people think that hunting（打猎） is the best way to control the animal populations.Wildlife managers will see if there's enough food in an area and decide its carrying capacity（容量）. Then hunters with licenses are sent to help control the number of deer. Hunting is usually not allowed in cities or suburbs, however.Some people have the idea to catch the deer and move them to other places. But this methodis expensive and requires finding another place that can accept the deer without breaking the balance of ecosystem（生态系统）.Scientists are also working to develop chemicals（化学药品） to control the birth rate（率）in deer populations. But this plan works for only one year at a time.Should People Take Indirect Action?Some suggest bringing in natural enemies of deer, such as wolves, lions and bears, to areas with too many deer. But these animals could also hurt dogs, cats, and even humans. Other communities have built tall fences（篱笆） around areas to keep out the deer. However, this is impossible for farmers.▲Some people are against any kind of action. They support leaving the deer alone. Animal populations in an area naturally go up and down over time. Doing nothing means that some deer will die of hunger or illness. But finally, the population will reach a size within the carrying capacity（容量） of the environment.
