Drawing might help you think
When you're sitting in class, have you ever drawn pictures in the margins of your notebooks? If so, your teacher might have told you1.(stop). Many people think of doodling（涂）as a distraction（精神涣散）from more important things. But it might be just the opposite.
One study shows that doodling may help you remember things you hear. In 2009, researchers asked two groups of people to listen to a phone message. One group2. (encourage) to doodle, but the other was not. Neither group knew that it would be asked to remember information from the message. But the group that doodled remembered 29 percent more.
Other people3.(suggest) other uses for drawing. Jesse Prinz, a professor who studies doodling, says it can help you think creatively. 4.(walk) away from a problem to draw might actually help you solve it. When you come back, you5.(have) a fresh perspective and figure out an answer more quickly.
Two years ago, an author named Sunni Brown6.(write) a book on doodling. She argues that doodling is a tool that can help people think. She admits that people see doodling as doing nothing, but she wants to change that. In fact, she runs a business that helps companies improve organization and planning doodling. Brown7.(believe) doodling is helpful because it incorporates（整合）many ways of learning. You learn in four ways: seeing, hearing, reading or writing, and through movement. The more ways you use, the8.(well) you learn. And when you doodle while you9.(listen) to a lecture, you use all four.
You might think that being good at10.(draw) is important for doodling. But if the point of doodling you think, then it doesn't matter what the picture looks like. Even if you're not an artist, doodling can help you. So next time you need help focusing, pick up a pen and doodle away!

During the time of the Roman Empire(27 BC-476AD), it was very difficult to make purple dye (染料). The dye came from sea snails（海螺).

This_________led Perkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much__________than sea-snail dye.

Have you ever tried to hide your emotions（情感）from someone during a conversation? 1..
Scientists from the Ohio State University have found that people are able to tell other people's emotions according to changes in the color of their faces.
Scientists studied pictures of people's facial expressions. 2.. For example, happiness makes our faces red around the cheeks 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 Martinez said. 3.. Does the color alone or also facial expressions help people tell other's emotions?
To figure this out, scientists added color patterns to pictures of faces that showed no facial expressions. 4. They were able to tell the emotions 75 percent of the time without any difficulty.
This is why there are some Chinese sayings that connect emotions to the color of one's face. 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'll say he or she is blue in the face.
根据短文内容，从下列选项中选出能填入文中空白处的最佳选项,选项中有一项为多余选项。
A.Then, volunteers were asked to tell what emotions the faces were showing
B.They found that every facial expression is connected to a certain color
C.But this raises a question
D.It's not always easy, because the color on your face may tell the truth
E.It is shown that human emotions are influenced by colors on the face
A 12-year-old girl from Virginia, US, never thought that a simple message she put online could bring her big problems. She posted the words, “Killing. Meet me in the library Tuesday”, with three emojis(表情符号) of a gun, a knife and a bomb(炸弹) on Instagram, a social media(社交媒体). She was told that she broke the law because of threatening(威胁) her school.
This problem is not far away from us. Not long ago, Ni Hanxiang, a Chinese student at a university in the US, was sent back to China after expressing on social media that he would kill his teachers if he failed to pass his exams.
In China, posting threatening words online is also against the law. In 2013, Wu Hongfei, a singer, got into trouble for saying on weibo that she wanted to blow up a building.
“Threatening happens not only face to face but also through the Internet, social media and the telephone,” said Mr. Cao, a lawyer from Chongqing. “Although the law of China protects people’s right of free speech, it doesn’t include words that threaten others’ lives and national safety.”
“Some people may not mean to threaten. They may just be trying to say “I’m strong”, said Fred Pratt, a lawyer from the US.
The girl’s mother said her daughter was a good kid who had never been in trouble before. Ni Hanxiang also said he didn’t realize that what he put online was so serious.
“But not knowing the law doesn’t mean the law will treat you any differently if you break it,” says David Allen Green, a lawyer from the UK. So, do you think we’d better spend a minute or two thinking about the words or emojis we use on social media before we press “send”?
