A

My color television has given me nothing but a headache. I was able to buy it a little over a year ago because I had my relatives give me money for my birthday instead of a lot of clothes that wouldn 't fitI. let a salesclerk fool me into buying a discontinued model. I realized this a day late， when I saw newspaper advertisements for the set at seventy-five dollars less than I had paid. The set worked so beautifully when I first got it home that I would keep it on until stations signed off for the night. Fortunately， I didn 't got any channels sho-nwiignhgt amllovies or I would never have gotten to bed.

Then I started developing a problem with the set that involved static（静电）noise. For some reason， when certain shows switched into a commercial， a loud noise would sound for a few seconds. Gradually， this noise began to appear during a show， and to get rid of it， I had to change to another channel and then change it back. Sometimes this technique would not work， and I had to pick up the set and shake it to remove the sound. I actually began to build up my arm muscles （肌肉） shaking my set.

When neither of these methods removed the static noise， I would sit helplessly and wait for the noise to go away. At last I ended up hitting the set with my fist， and it stopped working altogether. My trip to the repair shop cost me $62， and the set is working well now， but I keep expecting more trouble. （ ）1. Why did the author say he was fooled into buying the TV set?

D. He failed to find any movie shows on it.

（ ）2. Which of the following can best replace the phrase “signed off in P”aragraph 1?

A. ended all their programs C. changed to commercials

B. provided fewer channels D. showed all-night movies

（ ）3. How did the author finally get his TV set working again?

A. By shaking and hitting it. C. By switching channels.

（ ）4. How does the author sound when telling the story?

B. By turning it on and off. D. By having it repaired.

Your house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in

whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.

Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious （难为情 ） when they ' re in poorly lit place--s-and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesn flood the place with brightness.

Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make f ood appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So when it time to repaint, go blue.

Don' tforget the clock -or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里）per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you 're at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.

Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake（摄

入）jumps by 14 percent. And we' llpour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.

' t have enough window light, get more lam

（ ）5. The text is especially helpful for those who care about ________ .

A. their home comforts C. house buying

A. digest food better C. burn more calories

（ ）7. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?

A. Eat quickly.

C. Use smaller spoons.

（ ）8. What can be a suitable title for the test?

A. Is Your House Making You Fat? C. Effects of Self-Consciousness

C

B. their body shape D. healthy diets B.

reduce food intake D. regain their appetites B. Play

（ ）6. A home environment in blue can help people ________

NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacation periods, h”e said. (
