At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors
to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown. Movement of
each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered
the dark brown walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white
one. Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the
general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces
whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos,
but each group was in an ordinary room—a nice office. The third was in a tastefully designed living room with
carpeting. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than
those in the ugly room did. Other studies
that students do better on tests taken in comfortable room than in ordinary-looking or ugly rooms.

In the fall of 1924 Thomas Wolfe, fresh from his courses in play writing at Harvard joined the eight or
ten of us who were teaching English composition in New York University. I had never before seen a man
so tall as he, and so ugly. I pitied him and went out of my way to help him with his work and make him
feel at home.
His students soon let me know that he had no need of my protectiveness. They spoke of his ability to
explain a poem in such a manner as to have them shouting with laughter or struggling to keep back
their tears, of his readiness to quote in detail from any poet they could name.
Indeed, his students made so much of his power of observation that I decided to make a little test and
see for myself. My chance came one morning when the students were slowly gathering for nine o‘clock
classes.
Upon arriving at the university that day, I found Wolfe alone in the large room which served all the
English composition teachers as an office. He did not say anything when I asked him to come
with me out into the hall, and he only smiled when we reached a classroom door and I told him
to enter alone and look around.
He stepped in, remained no more than thirty seconds and then came out. “Tell me what you see.”
I said as I took his place in the room, leaving him in the hall with his back to the door. Without the
least hesitation and without a single error, he gave the number of seats in the room, pointed out
those which were taken by boys and those occupied by girls, named the colors each student was
wearing, pointed out the Latin verb written on the blackboard, spoke of the chalk marks which the
cleaner had failed to wash from the floor, and pictured in detail the view of Washington Square from
the window.
As I rejoined Wolfe, I was speechless with surprise. He, on the contrary, was wholly calm as he
said, “The worst thing about it is that I‘ll remember it all.”
What is the passage mainly discussing?
A. Thomas Wolfe‘s teaching work.
B. Thomas Wolfe‘s course in playwriting.
C. Thomas Wolfe‘s ability of explaining.
D. Thomas Wolfe‘s genius.

Although trains were a popular means of travel for some time, automobiles slowly began to take their place. Automobile travel caused problems for city hotels, which did not have enough parking space for so many cars.
People who traveled by automobile needed a different kind of hotel. They needed places to stay that were near highways and had room to park. Motorists did not like to drive in heavy city traffic to reach a hotel. The answer to the motorists' problems came when a new kind of hotel was built. These new buildings were called motels, a word made from the first part of MOTORIST and the last part of HOTELS.
Motels were much smaller than hotels. Built on ground level, often in separate units, they were more convenient for people traveling. The separate units also made them quieter than hotels, best of all, there was more than enough room for cars to park. ,
Now, many big hotels in the cities are being torn down. They can no longer make enough money to stay in business. In their place, many small motels have been built on the outskirts(近郊) of cities. Motels have become a big business in the United States.
The first hotels were built______.
A.with hundreds of rooms
B.around the city centers
C.near railway stations
D.quite close to roads.

W: No, I'm not sure I'm going to.
M: There's not much time left. The deadline's May 1. That is just two weeks from now. Are you short of cash.
W: No, I'm Okay.
M: You'd better hurry up if you want a dorm room next September. There aren't enough rooms for every one, and first-year students have priority.
W: Well, I've been thinking about living off campus.
M: Have you any idea how much that would cost? There is the rent, utilities, and you'd probably need a car.
W: I know it would be more expensive. I think I can handle it though. The dorm is just so noisy that I can't get anything done. Maybe my grades would be better if I had some peace and quiet in a place of my own.
M: You should study in the library the way I do. Think of the money you'd save.
W: I've got to think it over some more. There's still two weeks left in April.
