河北秦皇岛卢龙县2016届九年级上学期英语期中考试试卷
A school bus is one that is used to take children to and from school.
In the USA, about 450,000 school buses take more than 25 million children to and from school. The yellow school bus is a US icon (象征). Yellow became the color of school buses in the USA in 1939. Dr. Frank got the good idea. He said it was easy for people to see yellow buses and the black letters on them in early morning or late afternoon. That would make children safer.
There are not many school buses in Britain, and they are not yellow. They have trackers (追踪器) on them, so kids are being tracked while they travel to and from school by bus. The trackers let parents know where the school bus is and whether their kids are on the bus.
Kindergarten (幼儿园) is a difficult time for some kids. It's the first time for them to go away from their parents. To make kids love their school, Japanese kindergartens and schools have colorful buses. The buses can easily make children want to take them--and then, go to school. Even some parents want to take them, too!
School buses are becoming more and more popular in China now. It saves a lot of time for students to take a school bus.
Have you ever tried to hide your emotions from someone during a conversation? {#blank#}1{#/blank#} Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people' s emotions according to the changes in the color of their faces.
Scientists studied pictures of people' s facial expressions. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} For example, happiness makes our faces red around the checks and a little blue around the chin. Disgust(厌恶) creates not only a blue-yellow color around the lips, but also a red-green color around the nose and forehead. " We believe these color patterns are the result of small changes in blood flow triggered(触发) by the central nervous(神经) system." Lead researcher Alex Nartime said.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#} Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell others' emotions? To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the time without any difficulty.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#} For example, when two people are heatedly arguing over something, we say they are red in the face. When a person is very angry, we say he or she is blue in the face.
A. But this raises a question. B. They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain color. C. It' s not always easy because the color on your face may tell the truth. D. Then, volunteers were asked to tell what emotions the faces were showing. E. This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect emotions to the color of one' s face. |

This movie is so moving and inspiring. Chinese People's Volunteer Army were the greatest. They risked their lives to fight the war and win us a wonderful life. War is cruel and we need to cherish the modern peaceful life. ﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣Maria The movie scenes are shocking and the actors all did a good job in the movie. We should keep the history in mind and try our best to make our country stronger and stronger. Both my friend and I think the movie is well worth watching. ﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣Peter I went to the film with my 9-year-old daughter Lily on the National Day. She said that she was sad and afraid to see the scenes about war. "But China is so great and I love our country so much", she added. ﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣﹣Cindy |
