Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room communicates and influences those inside. Another experiment presented subjects(受试者) with photographs of faces that were to be rated in terms of energy and well-being. Three groups of subjects were used; each was shown the same photos, but each group was in a different kind of room. One group was in an "ugly" room that resembled a messy storeroom. Another group was in an average room-a nice office. The third group was in a tastefully designed living room with carpets and curtains. Results showed that the subjects in the beautiful room tended to give higher ratings to the faces than did those in the ugly room. Other studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable, attractive rooms than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.

Following the end of World War Ⅱ, substantial changes were undertaken in Japan to liberate the individual from authoritarian restraints. The new democratic value system was accepted by many teachers, students, intellectuals, and old liberals, but it was not immediately embraced by the society as a whole. Japanese traditions were dominated by group values, and notions of personal freedom and individual rights were unfamiliar.
Today, democratic processes are clearly evident in the widespread participation of the Japanese people in social and political life. School textbooks emphasize equality over hierarchy and rationalism over tradition; but in practice these values are often misinterpreted and distorted, particularly by the youth who translate the individualistic and humanistic goals of democracy into egoistic and materialistic ones.
Most Japanese people have consciously rejected Confucianism, but leftovers of the old order remain. An important feature of relationship in many institutions, including political parties and universities is the "oyabun-kobun" or parent-child relation. The corresponding loyalty of the individual to his patron reinforces his allegiance to the group to which they both belong. A willingness to cooperate with other members of the group and to support without qualification the interests of the group in all its external relations is still a widely respected virtue. The "oyabun-kobun" creates ladders of mobility which an individual can ascend, rising as far as abilities permit, so long as he maintains successful personal ties with a superior in the vertical channel, the latter requirement usually taking precedence over a need for exceptional competence. As a consequence, there is little horizontal relationship between people even with the same profession.
The spokesman of Japan's "Enlightenment" thinks that
A.the traditional culture should be replaced by western civilization.
B.Japanese ought to forsake the Confucian civilization of the East.
C.the Confucian civilization in Japan should be revived.
D.Japan should introduce western civilization.

Reading Comprehension
Directions:There are two passages iⅡthis part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D.You should decide on the best choice.
Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:
Passage One
The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them.
The reality is very different.Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men.
They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider.And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children.
All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite.
The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories.It is a sort of work women do.Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them.
Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers. Not a lot of men among that group, are there?
Yet some of those jobs are really important.Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start.
So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women.
This is not going to be put right overnight. But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start.
It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens.
Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men().
A. after 25 years
B. according to the law
C. as a result of the Equal Pay Act
D. because women are as strong as men

Laura James is the head portfolio manager for National Fund, a U.S. based mutual fund with a well-respected track record. National’s primary focus is on large-cap domestic equities, and the fund has consistently posted highreturns relative to its peer group over the past seven years. Much of National’s recent success is from itsinvestments in the U.S. automobile industry, which have posted extraordinary returns due to a favorable economic scenario. Over the past seven years, the U.S. economy has been expanding, foreign competition has not met consumer expectations, and oil prices have remained low. These factors have contributed to an increase in market share for the domestic producers (at the expense of foreign competitors), and the result has been strong earnings for the top U.S. automakers.
Ford Motor Company, in particular, has enjoyed tremendous success in this environment. Ford has capitalized on the trend toward bigger vehicles, particularly sport utility vehicles (SUVs), and has outperformed the other domestic auto makers. Ford jumped on the SUV bandwagon early, and established its dominance. Other domestic auto makers followed, with foreign producers being the last to embrace the trend. Ford, has increased its market share in an increasingly competitive industry.
James is constantly reviewing economic forecasts and industry data in order to assess the expected performance of the investments in National’s portfolio. Due to changes in economic policy and recent volatility in energy prices, James now believes that current market conditions exhibit signs of contraction (recession). In addition, the automobile sector may be facing additional negative factors. In particular, James has concerns regarding the SUV segment of the automobile industry. Although she believes they will remain popular, she is concerned that the market may be reaching a point of saturation. In addition, volatile energy prices may dampen consumers’ enthusiasm for large vehicles. Lastly, foreign competitors have increased efforts toward the production of SUVs, thus “crowding” the market with many new models.
Part 3)
Assume domestic automakers are growing at a rate of –2%. Ford expects to increase its market share by 0.5%. What is Ford’s growth rate?
A)1.5%.
B)-3.0%.
C)-1.5%.
D)3.0%.
