三． 阅读理解（2×15 = 30 分）
(A)
Sometimes, on grey, rainy days, your mood level is lower than on bright, sunny
days. Would you like to know more about how the weather can affect how you feel?
According to a recent study, there's a connection between weather and moods.
Going to a warm place in the middle of winter can make our moods better. Pleasant
weather has been proved(证实) to improve moods and memory. However, extremely hot
weather can make us feel more tired and bored, spoiling(破坏) our moods.
In the study, people who spent time outdoors in warm weather were happier than
those who spent all day inside. They also found better memory scores when they ran
tests comparing the two groups.
The best temperature for humans is about 22.2℃. That explains why people in southern California are happy all the time. To improve moods, a person must spend
at least 30 minutes outside in warm sunny weather. Spending time indoors when the
weather outside is so nice tends to lower moods. It's mostly because we don't like
to b e inside when spring time arrives. It can also make inside activities seem
boring.
Maybe the activities connected with being outside affect our moods. Warm weather
is connected with the beach, fun outdoor sports and so on. It brings back childhood
memories of playing outside all day.
Of course, we can wake up every day and decide how we'll feel that day. If it's
rainy, that won't necessarily make us unhappy. We'll just have to bring our umbrellas
out and cheer up those who are feeling sad!
( )31.Warm weather can help improve our moods and ______ according to the passage.
A. sight B. memory C. hearing D. height

When two people meet, there are a lot of ways of greeting. The ways of greeting
are not always the same in different countries.
In America, two people us ually greet each other with a handshake. It is a way
to show respect(尊重)to the other person. Athletes from opposite teams shake hands
before a game for the same reason. However, most Americans don’t shake hands when
t hey meet people they have already known well. When American friends meet each other,
they might only wave(挥手), or maybe just nod(点头)their heads.
In New Zealand, there is a special way of greeting called “Hongi”. In the
greeting, two people press their noses and foreheads(前额)together and close their
eyes . This is an old tradition that comes from the Maori, who were the first people
to live in New Zealand. Even today, many New Zealanders still press their foreheads
when they meet.
Kissing is sometimes used as a way to greet someone. In some countries, important
people used to wear special rings. It was the custom for visitors to kiss these rings
when they came for a meeting. In France, when people meet, they sometimes kiss each
other on the face.
In Japan, people bow to each other every time they meet. Even family members
bow to each other. People decide how low to bow depending on how respected the other person is.
Today, new ways of greeting are created all the time. People can do this with
a quick “hi”, a handshake, or even a simple smile. The important thing is that
the people they are g reeting understand them.
