"And to the surprise of doctors, Bob made a quick recovery from his neck injury.

Sometimes picking the right music or lighting for a dinner date can be daunting, but research suggests you should be focusing on the color of your napkins too.
A new report examining the relationship between colored napkins and the flavor of food found that color is a powerful contributor. The report reveals which colors pair best with which dishes to help give your dinners an extra bit of flavor. Napkin brand Tork partnered with Swedish food stylist and chef,Linda Lundgren,who paired dishes with a range of colored napkins.
She told trade magazine The Caterer : “How do you make a strawberry mousse sweeter and richer-tasting? The answer isn't more strawberries and sugar. Instead,try serving the dish with a coral pink napkin. The color actually increases the perception of sweetness and decreases bitterness, making it perfect for desserts. ”
“The experiments found that aqua blue napkins enhance the flavor of eggs and Indian food. This is because it brings out orange and yellow as contrast colors and makes the dishes seem less salty, " Ms Lundgren said.
Coral pink helps to decrease the bitterness of dishes like grapefruit and makes meals taste sweeter,while pink or rose red works best with desserts.
Mustard yellow helps to improve the flavor of green dish such as sprouts and salads,as well as tart flavors including fish and sea food. Anthracite grey helps to contrast the tones of lighter colored table settings and meals , meaning grey napkins give Mediterranean food a richer taste.
【1】What colour napkins would you choose if your guest comes from India?
A.Yellow. B.Pink. C.Blue. D.Grey.
【2】Which one is the colored napkins' function?
A.To make you hungry. B.To make you relaxed.
C.To decrease sweetness. D.To enhance the flavor of food.
【3】Where can you probably find this text?
A.In an official report. B.In a science magazine.
C.In an international newspaper. D.In a travel guidebook.
【4】The passage mainly tells us the relationship between .
A.colored napkins and food B.environment and food
C.lighting and food D.music and food

Futurologists are making a lot of predictions about our future life and they are predicting how we will travel, work and live in the next 30 years. By 2048, some futurologists foresee that some talking" buildings will appear in our life.
By the middle of the century, it’s believed that buildings will be able to “talk" to people through various sensors when the heating needs to be turned on. As a result, there will be no switches. Instead, a lot of networks will appear, which can be compared to a human nervous system. In the next 30 years, buildings will be made from concrete plastics and shape-changing materials. All of them can heal themselves at that time. As architects (建筑师)are racing to develop the world's tallest buildings, there will be a need for new kinds of elevators, through which vehicles could even travel into the buildings. German engineers have already started working on such technology called Multi.
By mid-century, scientists believe that buildings will be miles tall. Some of them may be very large and they can function as small cities. By comparison,at present, the world's tallest building, the Burj Khalifa in Dubai, measures 829. 8 metres high. As the future building can rise through the clouds,their windows will be replaced by virtual screens. In this way, people can choose any view as they like.
At height extremes, a London Spaceport is also likely to come into being by 2048 as the space industry develops very quickly. There is a huge cost advantage going to space from as high a base as possible, so a spaceport is very likely to be over 10km and even as much as 30km, using carbon- based materials.
【1】How will the heating system be controlled in the future?
A.Through the net. B.Through mobiles.
C.Through sensors. D.Through switches.
【2】What might happen to the future buildings in a disaster?
A.They can recover by themselves. B.They can seek help automatically.
C.They can transport people into space. D.They can protect people against harm.
【3】What's the possible advantage of Multi?
A.Seeing the beautiful scenery. B.Allowing vehicles to travel into buildings.
C.Connecting the earth with the space. D.Making it possible to build high buildings.
【4】What is the best title for the text?
A.Be the Best Buildings with Carbon-based Materials
B.The Higher the Building, the Better
C.Smart Buildings in the Next 30 Years
D.More Functions, Less Cost

Laziness is a state of mind. If you're determined to make a fresh start, but something always pulls you back, that something could be you. We choose our behaviors, even the lazy ones. 【1】

Lazy people like to delegate(委派)a lot. 【3】 You really want that pizza for dinner? Walk your feet to your car and go pick it up! Nowadays convenience has become a great selling point in the US because of laziness.

Make a plan.
Write out the things about you that are lazy, in every category of your life—health, diet, work,home,family. Evaluate just how much life you are wasting by being lazy. Notice how many things you are missing out. 【5】 Make a priority list.
