Throughout history， people have been interested in knowing how language first began， but no one knows exactly where or how this happened. However， we do know a lot about languages， the languages of today and also the languages of earlier times. There are probably about three thousand languages in the world today. Chinese is the language with the most speakers. English， Russian and Spanish are also spoken by millions of people. On the other hand， some languages in the world have less than one hundred speakers. There are several important families of languages in the world. For example， most of the languages of Europe are in one large family called Indo-European. The original language of this family was spoken about 4，500 years ago. Many of the present-day languages of Europe and India are modern forms of the language of 4，500 years ago.
Languages are always changing. The English of today is very different from the English of 500 years ago. In time， some even die out completely. About 1，000 years ago， English was a little known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.
If a language has a number of speakers， or if it is very old， there may be differences in the way it is spoken in different areas. That is， the language may have several dialects. Chinese is a good example of dialect differences. Chinese has been spoken for thousands of years by many millions of people. The differences between the dialects of Chinese are so great that speakers of Chinese from some parts of China can’t understand speakers from other parts.
（ ）16. The first paragraph mainly tells us that __________.
A. most people in the world speak Chinese
B. there are millions of languages in the world today
C. man has much knowledge about languages
D. some people know several languages
（ ）17. Most European and Indian languages __________.
A. will soon die out completely B. were once a relative of English
C. are no longer spoken D. come from the same family of language
（ ）18. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage？
A. Chinese is the language with the most speakers.
B. English was a well-known relative of German spoken on one of the borders of Europe.
C. A language has many speakers， but there may be no differences in the way it is spoken in different areas.
D. Speakers of Chinese from some parts of China can understand speakers from other parts.
（ ）19. It is considered a most difficult thing for one to learn to speak Chinese because __________.
A. there are great differences between the dialects of Chinese
B. Chinese and many foreign languages are not of the same family
C. Chinese is a very old language
D. there are great differences between the old Chinese and the present-day Chinese
（ ）20. The underlined word “dialect” in the last paragraph means __________.

D. the form of a language used in one part of the country

What is your favorite color？ Do you like yellow， orange or red？ If you do， you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue？ Then you are probably quiet， shy， and would rather follow than lead.
Colours do influence our moods （情绪）. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one； and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other hand， black is depressing （令人压抑的）. There was a black bridge over the Thames River， near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green.
Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory， the workers will work better， harder and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.
（ ）21. An active person may like .
A. yellow， orange or red B. yellow， black or red C. orange， blue or black
（ ）22. Most people feel more in a yellow room than in a dark green one.
A. tired B. worried C. relaxed
（ ）23. More people killed themselves on the black bridge than on any other bridge probably because .
A. the bridge was very tall B. people didn’t like the bridge
C. the color of the bridge was depressing
（ ）24. In the factory， when the machines are painted orange， the workers will work .
A. worse B. harder C. more slowly
（ ）25. Which could be the best title for the passage？
A. Cheerful Colors. B. Your Favorite Color. C. The Secret of Color.

In general， it’s hard to spend enough time in both concentrating on lessons and taking part in social activities. But I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a challenge but I didn’t realize how difficult it was until my classes in the high school began.
I got on well with other girls. After school， I often had ice cream with them first instead of finishing my homework before it was time to hand it in. I always finished it the next day between classes. I knew it wasn’t very good and the grades that I got showed I was not hard-working enough. I realized that I needed to find some kind of balance.
So I created a timetable that would divide my time between studying and relaxing. It was a good idea but I was only able to follow it for a few days because it made me under too much pressure. Later， I tried another plan. Each week I listed everything that I had to get done during the week and the time by which I had to get it done. Then under the things I had to do， I made another list of things that I could do if I had time.
It worked really well. Ever since， I have never missed any important things. At the same time， I enjoyed my spare time a lot.
Planning my time has been challenging， but I continue to do it. I’m glad that I’ve learned to balance things and it has helped prepare for what is coming after graduation.
（ ）26. At first， when did the writer always finish her homework？
A. After school was over. B. Between classes the next day.
C. Before it was time to hand it in.
（ ）27. Why did the writer follow the first timetable only for a few days？
A. Because it had a specific list. B. Because it wasn’t a good idea.
C. Because it brought her too much pressure.
（ ）28. What wasn’t included in the writer’s second time plan？
A. The things she shouldn’t do. B. The things she had to get done.
C. The things she could do if she had time.
（ ）29. According to the passage， which of the following is true？
A. The writer had few friends because of bad grades.
B. Learning to balance things is helpful to make plans for the future.
C. The writer preferred to spend more time in relaxing than studying.
（ ）30. Which do you think is the best title of the passage？
A. Facing Challenges. B. Concentrating on Lessons.
C. Balancing Study and Play.
