　　Answers to life can be found in everyday events. Watching nature, watching people and watching animals communicate with each other provide some of the simplest ways to life’s biggest problems.

　　This became clearer to me yesterday. It caused me to ask myself, “How do I respond (反应) to the storms in life?”

　　People usually run when it starts to rain. I love to walk in it, stand on my front door and feel it. I grew up doing it and have never really felt the fear many people do.

　　The animal world senses changes in the weather far earlier than humans. My dog, Ricky, begins to shake long before the storm is close enough to be noticed. I was about to feed my three dogs yesterday and as usual, I let them out in the yard first. They didn’t move when thunder came across the skies. So I placed their food in their bowls and called Ricky into the kitchen.

　　Ricky was just standing there in place next to his bowl. The thunder became louder, which forced him to stop eating his meal. Then I watched Phil. He made his way across the kitchen floor and stood over Ricky’s bowl. He ate all the remaining food. Generally, if Ricky was standing there, he wouldn’t dare (敢) come close. But today, he took advantage (优势) of the storm and got what he wanted. His hope for the prize outweighed (胜过) his fear of the storm.

　　That’s when it hit me. As men, we face all kinds of storms. They come in unannounced. Sometimes we stay in a corner or under the blankets, hoping it will all pass. However, if you dare put your head out, you’ll discover there’re people doing what they must to get what they must have out of life. Isn’t it time you decided to take advantage of the storm?

　　57. According to the writer, answers to life ______.

　　A. are difficult to find B. lie around us

　　C. are simple to understand D. make people become fearless

　　58. From the passage we can learn that the writer ______.

　　A. enjoys the rain B. fears thunder

　　C. hates the storm D. cares little about the weather

　　59. According to the passage, what hit the writer most?

　　A. Phil wasn’t afraid of the storm. B. Ricky stopped eating food.

　　C. Phil ate the rest of Ricky’s food. D. Ricky sensed the storm earlier than he.

　　60. What would be the best title for the passage?

　　A. Find out Answers to Life B. Take Advantage of the Storm

　　C. Stop Storms in our Daily Life D. Pay Attention to Everyday Events

　　Our clothes are a powerful tool. It can make us feel better about ourselves by wearing different colors of clothes.

　　Normally when we are sad, we will wear dark colored clothes. Oppositely, when we are happy, we often choose to wear brightly colored clothes. The reason for this is that our choice of color mirrors how we are feeling.

　　Those who don’t believe in the idea often say, “If only this truly worked”. Well in reply to those people, there has been a lot of research into what happens to someone’s feelings when they are asked to wear just one color of clothes. It has been proved that if we wear particular colors of clothes, these can change our feelings.

　　Suppose we are feeling sad, if we wear black we may begin to feel worse. However if we wear green, red or yellow, we may begin to feel better. Each colour is said to have its own power. Red makes one feel energetic, yellow bright, blue thoughtful, orange happy, green peaceful, white easy-going, brown good at learning new things, pink romantic, purple easy to fall in love and black safe.

　　So remember, if you are not feeling your best, you can always try out some different coloured clothes. If one colour has no effect on your feelings, maybe another will.
