三、阅读理解(本大题共24分，每小题2分)
阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
A
When we talk about intelligence(智力)，we do not mean the ability to get good scores on certain kinds of tests or even the ability to do well in school.By intelligence we mean a way of living and behaving(表现)，especially in a new situation.If we want to test intelligence，we need to find out how a person acts instead of how much he knows what to do.
For example，when in a new situation，an intelligent person thinks about the situation，not about himself or what might happen to him.He tries to find out all be can，and then he acts immediately and tries to do something about it.He probably isn’t sure how it will all work out，but at least he tries.And if he cannot make things work out right，he doesn’t feel ashamed(羞愧)that he failed，he just tries to learn from his mistakes.An intelligent person，even if he is very young，has a special outlook(看法)on life，a special feeling about life，and how he fits into it.
If you look at children，you’ll see great difference between what we call“bright”children and“non-bright”children.They are actually two different kinds of people，not just the same kind with different amount of intelligence.For example，the bright child really wants to find out about life-he tries to get in touch with everything around him.But the unintelligent child keeps more to himself and his own dream-world：he seems to have a wall between him and life in general.

A.try not to feel ashamed
B.learn from his mistakes
C.try to find all he could
D.make sure what result he would get

People usually talk two groups of colours: warm colours and cool colours. Scientists think that there are also two kinds of people: people who prefer warm colours and people who prefer cool colours. The warm colours are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of lights, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red.
The cool colours are green, blue and violet. These colours, unlike warm colours, are relaxing. Where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one scientist says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colours than in a room with cool colours. He says that a warm, such as red or orange, is a good colour for a living room or restaurant. People who are resting or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colours are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly.
