How much do you know about colors? The colors that you select create a distinct atmosphere in the room. 1.
Pick the color for your room and you can create whatever you feel like. The color will also help you to enlarge the space or making it more inviting, which will also make differently all about it.
However, the trick is to select the right version of that particular color. There are different hues (色调) for blues, for instance. 2. Here we have presented a guide that will let you gain a deep insight about the colors.
Blue
3. For kitchen, bathrooms and bedrooms it is an ideal choice. Of course it is also associated with sadness that means it may not strike note for each and everyone. It is a popular choice among people. Blue comes from the cold side of the color wheel, so it can make the room feel cold, unless and until it is south filling space. If you are attracted to blue color, think of going for purple, or mix red and purple.
Dark blue is best for a living room. Probably it is best reserved for high ceiling space. 4.
Green
Like blue, green is also a calm shade. 5. It is the shade that reflects nature and renewal. Green produces a positive energy without the feeling of overstimulation.
A. Colors can light up the mood of the room.
B. You can use it for a living room or a bedroom.
C. They won’t create similar effect and atmosphere generally.
D. Traditionally, blue is just related to calmness and comfort.
E. It is better that you select colors that are very warm like blue.
F. Dark blue will really make you feel the wall appear near to you.
G.But before diving into any decision, here’s what you need to know.
The popular wisdom for years has been that drinking in moderation (适度)—that’s one “standard” drink a day for women and two for men-is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular (心血管的) disease. But recent studies are casting some doubt on that long-held learning. Science now says it depends on your age and drinking habits.
A 2017 study of nearly 2 million British with no cardiovascular risk found that there was still a modest benefit in moderate drinking, especially for women over 55 who drank five drinks a week. Why that age? Alcohol can influence the substance in the blood in positive ways, experts say, and that’s about the age when heart problems begin to occur.
Also, a 2018 study found that drinking more than 100 grams of alcohol per week—equal to roughly seven standard drinks in the United States or five to six glasses of wine in the UK—increases your risk of death from all causes and in turn lowers your life expectancy. Links were found with different forms of cardiovascular disease, with people who drank more than 100 grams per week having a higher risk of stroke, heart failure.
Another 2018 study found that consistently drinking a moderate amount of alcohol, within recommended guidelines, had a protective effect on the heart over time. Unstable drinking habits were associated with a higher risk of heart disease, which the authors reflected might indicate broader lifestyle changes, such as poor health or stress. Former drinkers were also at greater risk.
Overall, however, the latest thinking is that any heart benefit may be outweighed by other health risks, such as high blood pressure, certain cancers and liver damage.
Women who drink are at a higher risk for breast cancer; alcohol contributes about 6% of the overall risk, possibly because it raises certain dangerous hormones in the blood. Drinking can also increase the chance you might develop liver, mouth and oral cancers. One potential reason: Alcohol weakens our immune systems, making us more likely to inflame (发炎)—a driving force behind cancer.
1.Why does moderate drinking benefit women over 55?
A. It helps them live longer than men.
B. It reduces the chance of some heart problems.
C. It destroys the harmful chemicals in their blood.
D. It helps them recover from cardiovascular disease.
2.What can we learn from paragraph 3?
A. Drinking more than 10 grams of alcohol per week is surely harmful.
B. Solid links were found between the disease and the amount of alcohol.
C. The lifespan varies according to amount of consumed alcohol.
D. Seven standard drinks are the recommended amount of drinking in the UK.
3.Who will be at a lower risk according to the 2018 study?
A. Consistent drinkers with lifestyle changes.
B. Unstable drinkers with lifestyle changes.
C. Consistent drinkers within recommended amount of alcohol.
D. Unstable drinkers within recommended amount of alcohol.
4.Which can be the best title for the text?
A. Moderate drinking habits benefit the heart.
B. Moderate drinking weakens our immune systems.
C. Moderate drinking can prevent cancer.
D. Moderate drinking does more harm than good to health.
Everything has its root. “Holiday”, is no exception. The origin of “holiday” is easy to see, coming from “holy day”, a day of particular religious significance, often celebrating the life of a saint (圣徒), during which no work was to be done. As far back as the 11th century, “holidays”, especially the major feast days, were times of “celebration and amusement”, as the Oxford English Dictionary puts it.
The number of holidays steadily increased during the Middle Ages, until a medieval Englishman would have had the luxury of 40 to 50 days a year off work, depending on where he lived, in addition to a free day on Sundays.
During the Reformation, Henry VIII abolished most of the holidays partly because of the Protestant (新教徒的) suspicion of saints, but more practically, because, according to historian Eamon Duffy, “A large number of holidays were making the people poor by limiting agriculture.” The people took a different view and organized a protest march—the Pilgrimage of Grace—partly to protect their days off.
Though at first the religious and festive senses of holiday were combined, the word gradually came to be used for any kind of relaxing break from work. As the word was drawing away from a religious society, the number of authorized holidays was reduced, until by 1834 most workers had only four official days off a year, in addition to Sundays. Many factory workers amplified this time by staying home on “Saint Monday” to recover from what they had gotten up to the day before.
By the late 19th century, employers were compromising and offering half-day Saturdays, the beginning of the “weekend”, a term first used in 1879. In 1908, an innovative mill in New England gave its employees all of Saturday off, and the practice of their getting the whole Saturday off spread widely during the Great Depression as a way to keep employment up. It took 400 years, but finally workers could enjoy as many holidays as they had in the 15th century.
1.What was the word “holiday” originally intended for?
A. Economy. B. Entertainment.
C. Religion. D. Politics.
2.What’s the main reason for Henry VIII’s ending most holidays according to Eamon Duffy?
A. His people required a thorough reformation.
B. He didn’t believe in God and saints.
C. People took no interest in the agriculture due to them.
D. Large numbers of holidays stood in the way of the agriculture.
3.Which can best replace the underlined word “amplified” in paragraph 4?
A. lengthened B. wasted
C. shortened D. guaranteed
4.When did most employees get the whole Saturday off?
A. In 1879. B. During the Great Depression.
C. In 1908. D. In the 15th century.
