Coloring is an activity that children worldwide have long enjoyed. With a picture already made for them, kids simply choose a crayon, pencil or marker of their favorite color and fill it in. Now more and more adults are enjoying relaxing hours of coloring, too. This is thanks to a new book craze in the United States and in other

countries around the world – an adult coloring book craze. In December, five of the top ten best-selling books in the United States were coloring books made for adults. Artist Trina Lucido creates coloring books. Her latest coloring book contains 40 pages filled with drawings of flowers, birds and geometric(几何的) shapes. It also has spaces to journal – in other words, to write about what you’re doing or thinking. Journaling has long been an exercise in many types of therapy(疗法). Lucido says the “big idea” behind the coloring is to help encourage people do something creative. Lucido says the positive feedback(反应) from her customers is encouraging. She says that many of her customers are buying the coloring books for others who are sick or having challenges. Art therapy experts have said in several articles that coloring can reduce stress by focusing you on a simple task. When you are filling in a flower with a purple color, you focus on the flower and not on your troubles. Experts add that coloring can bring out your imagination and can take you back to your childhood. Psychologists add that coloring activates(激活) your brain in a healthy way. The shape and form of the drawings activate(触发) one side of the brain, while the color and texture(结构) of the drawing material activates the other. Susan Jackson is a big fan of Lucido’s coloring books. She says she is drawn to their beauty. Sitting down and coloring, Jackson adds, relaxes her and just makes her feel happy. For now, there is strong demand(需求) for adult coloring books. That fact keeps Lucido happy and busy. 56. Why do more and more adults enjoy coloring? A. Because the children have long enjoyed coloring. B. Because five of the top coloring books are made for them. C. Because they can enjoy the relaxing hours by coloring with kids. D. Because an adult coloring book craze has taken the world greatly. 57. What does the underlined word “journal” mean? A. book B. newspaper C. diary D. paper 58. Why does Lucido create coloring? A. To fill the ever day hour. B. To help the people in sickness. C. To encourage people to be creative. D. To get the encouraging feedback from the customers. 59. What advantages can coloring bring to the people? A. Focus on their trouble. B. Dry up their imagination. C. Exercise their brain. D. Reduce their stress. 60. What might happen in the future? A. More adults will try to write coloring book. B. Coloring books will become hot among the children. C. Coloring books will head toward the Chinese market. D.

Every year since 1996, on the last Monday of the last week in March, the National Day of Education on the Safety of Elementary and Middle School Students is held. This year it falls on March 30. It offers us a chance to learn more about school ________. A 2010 survey from people’s Daily shows that the worst accidents were a result of stampedes(踩踏), fires and traffic. Experts suggest that right safety measures could avoid 80 percent of these accidents. When facing an accident, the first and most important rule is to stay calm. But different accidents mean different ways of dealing with them. A stampede happens in a place where a large crowd is gathered. When students around you begin to push, stand still and try to hold onto something, or stay in a corner until the crowd leaves. If you fall down in a moving crowd, cover your head with both hands. Move to one side, curl(弯曲) your body and your legs. When there’s a fire, take it easy and follow teachers’ instructions. Leave the classroom and use a piece of cloth 4 / 7
