Most of us can remember the days when we didn’t use e-mail as an everyday means for communication. Slowly but surely, it entered our lives. E-mail is a valuable tool for college students at any level. It’s available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and even at holidays. Most universities assign students an account(户头) upon entrance.
You can do everything from getting information or advice on homework and projects, keeping in touch with classmates, exchanging letters with family and friends, and getting daily news services to keep you posted on world events. But, what are the disadvantages?
E-mail can be e-jail (prison). You might spend hours writing and replying to e-mails when you should be hitting the books for an upcoming exam. Or, you might be signed up for so many daily services, such as horoscopes(星座), news services, or personals, that your mailbox is so filled up with “junk mail”, that finding the important e-mails through your mail-box might take hours.
If you’re a student, time is limited and valuable. Create and organize your e-mail folders into important school-related mail, correspondence (通信联系) with friends and family, and a mixed folder for jokes, horoscopes, and other news services. Always put the mail into the right and proper folders first, and when you’ve finished, head for the important school-related folder first. Reply to the most important e-mails first and, if you have time, you can get to the others.
Try to stop your friends from sending those troublesome joke lists, sex quizzes, and chain e-mails. The minute you realize you’ve got one, delete it immediately so you won’t be attracted to read it.
56. The underlined part ‘be hitting the books’ in the third paragraph can be replaced by ______.
A. be fond of books B. be writing books
C. be studying hard D. be asking for advice
57. Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in this passage?

B. It is necessary to put your e-mail into different and proper folders.
C. Delete those troublesome e-mails from your friends or some companies.
D. There are many advertisements in every e-mail folder.
58. The best title of this passage should be ____.
A. The Advantage of E-mail B. The Disadvantage of E-mail
C. How to Create Folder D. E-mail or E-jail
B

In general, people talk about two groups of colors: warm colors and cool colors. Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who prefer cool colors.
The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet. These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors. He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
Researchers do not know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool. Perhaps warm colors remind people of warm days and the cool colors remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
64. Which of the following colors belong to cool colors?
A. Yellow, green B. Blue, violet C. Black, blue. D. Brown, white
65. Which of the following statements is not true?
A. Sociable people like warm colors.
B. Warm colors can make people excited.
C. People who like to be with others don’t like red.
D. Where there are warm colors, people want to be active.
66. Which is the right color for different rooms?
A. Red or orange for offices. B. Orange for dining rooms.
C. Blue for bedrooms. D. Red for studies
67. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?
A. It shows the reason why people think some colors are warm and others are cool
B. Warm colors remind people of warm days.
C. Cool colors remind people of cool days.
D. People have an agreeable opinion of warm colors and cool colors
