People in the United States have many ways to get news, some of which are available 24 hours a day. In a recent survey（調查）, about 15 percent of American interviewees said that they spend less than one-half to two hours per day watching, listening to, or reading the news. News comes from every source, not only from printed ways, but from TV, radio, and the Internet as well.
With the increased availability of news, serious questions have been raised about the role of the news media in society. Should the media report every detail about every story, even when the information does not seem timely or valuable? Some researchers are concerned that by focusing on everything at once, the media increasingly ignore the more important social, political and economic problems that we face. We cannot concentrate on what’s important by reading about what is not. One extreme example of this is the type of information covered by the tabloid（小報）media, which focus on negative stories of violence and crime.
How can people deal with all the news that is available to them? Some become “news resisters” and choose to turn their backs on news, resisting their desire to turn on the TV and read the paper every day. They argue that although daily news reports may provide us with many facts, they do not include the background or some information that we need to understand news events. They suggest that, instead of daily reports, we look for information that has more in-depth analysis of the news, such as monthly magazines.

What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 1. Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist(悲觀者). At least, this is what psychologists(心理學家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 2. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
3. A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.
4. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides(自殺者)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
5. It is an established fact(既成的事實)that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A. On the other hand, black is depressing.
B. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up—we are born with our preference.
C. The rooms are painted in different colors as you like.
D. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

When you are invited to attend a party in the West, the first important thing you need to know is that you should arrive late.
It is a great embarrassment to arrive at a party early or even on time. Therefore, unless you are the host of the party, you never want to be the first person present at a party. Why? Because others may think that you have no life or nothing better to do than wait for a party to start. Many people try to project（展現）an image（形象）of always being busy, which, whether true or not, has something to do with success. So, by arriving late, you are implying: “I live a full life and it's really exciting.”
Therefore, an 8 o'clock party usually doesn't really start until maybe 9 o'clock, as everyone wants to be thought of as a busy and important person with lots of things to do. In other words, a party is one of those rare occasions（極少數場合）in which your punctuality can actually hurt you. It's quite a strange thing, isn't it? Anyhow, remember to be late!
1.The passage is most likely to have been taken from a book about______.
A.life in the West B. health and medicine
C. politics in the West D. behavioral science
2.What is the reason that people want to be late for parties?
A.They are not the host of the party.
B. They are too busy to arrive on time.
C. They want others to think they are busy.
D. They don’t want to wait for a party to start.
3.What does the word "punctuality" in the last paragraph mean?
A.Being polite B. Being late
C. Being smart D. Being on time
4.We can infer from the passage that______.
A.Sometimes people pretend to be what they want to be.
B.Lateness is not a problem when you are attending a meeting.
C.You need to be late on every occasion.
D. Going to a party can be a waste of time.
