The kitchen is one of the most important parts of the house. You may think that, since it’s only used for cooking, there’s no need to pay much attention to its color. Color influences people’s mood and creates an atmosphere, and surely you want to be in a good mood when you’re cooking.
To decorate a kitchen, first look for a theme which will then influence the color scheme (方案). The most common colors in kitchens are white, yellow and other light colors. Kitchens are usually painted in one color to create a clean and neat look. Also, since kitchens tend to have smaller windows, the light colors help make it brighter. Neutral colors such as gray and cream can also be used to create some contrast.
Start with your favorite color, or two light colors that balance each other. Make sure that you test them thoroughly first so that you can be sure they’ll actually work. For more adventurous kitchen owners, three colors next to each other can also work. But these need to be carefully chosen, because one wrong color can ruin the whole look of the kitchen.
When the kitchen color scheme has been chosen, other elements must be considered. Some important things, such as cupboards, in the kitchen can affect its look. Tiles (瓷砖) and the floor must be chosen to fit the look.
Last but not least, no matter what color scheme you use, make sure that it really is the one you want.

A．Many people want to decorate their kitchens with bright colors.

B．Different colors have different effects on people’s mood.

C．Otherwise, get advice from other members of the family.

D．The light colors make the room seem bigger than it is.

E. There are different ways to create a color scheme.
F. In a word, kitchen decoration must go together with the color scheme.
G. But in fact, the color schemes of kitchens are as important as those of any other rooms.

In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity (繁荣). Others say that competition is bad; that it sets one person against another; that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit (追求) of success, the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However, while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players, they strongly blame competition. Among those who are against competition are young people who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: “I may have lost, but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.
Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one’s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to disappear can we discover a new meaning in competition.
What is the best title of this passage?

A．Competition! Why friends turn into enemies.

B．Competition! What self-respect depends on.

C．New meaning found in competition.

D．Two mistaken beliefs about competition.

Why do some young people suffering from competitive pressures seek failure?

A．Because they are aware that they will not succeed in competition.

B．Because they don’t think it worthwhile to compete with others.

C．Because they are afraid that they would not be valued if they lost.

D．Because they are fed up with the great efforts needed to compete with others.

Which of the following will the author probably agree with?

A．One should treat competition as a life-and-death affair.

B．One should make every endeavor to avoid competition.

C．One should get rid of the fear of failure in competition.

D．One should be given rewards after competing with others.

The true competitors and those with a desire to fail both believe _______.

A．one’s self-worth comes from how well he performs in comparison with others

B．one’s dream can be achieved if he has mastered good communication skills

C．one’s failure happens when he is suffering from emotional problems

D．one’s success is based on how hard he has tried
