Deep inside a mountain near Sweetwater in East, Tennessee is a body of water known as the Lost Sea. It is listed by the Guinness Book of World Records as the world’s largest underground lake. The Lost Sea is a part of extensive and historic cave system called Graihead Caverns.
The caverns have been known and used since the days of the Cherokee Indian nation. The Cave expands into a series of huge rooms from a small opening on the side of the mountain. One mile from the entrance, in a room called ―The Council Room‖, many Indian artist facts have been found.
For many years it had been considered that there was a large underground lake somewhere in a cave, but it was not discovered until 1905. In that year, a 13-year-old boy named Ben Sands crawled into a small opening three hundred feet underground, he found himself in a large cave

Human needs seem endless. They might be regarded as making up several levels. When there is money enough to satisfy one level of needs, another level appears.
The first and most basic level of needs involves food. Once this level is satisfied, the second level of needs, clothing and some sort of shelter, appears. By the end of World War I1, these needs were satisfied for a great majority of Americans. Then a third level appeared. It included such items as automobiles and new houses.
By 1957 or 1958 this third level of needs was fairly well satisfied. Then, in the late 1950s, a fourth level of needs appeared: the ―life-enriching‖ level. While the other levels involve physical satisfaction, that is. the feed in comfort, safety, and transportation, this level stresses mental needs for recognition, achievement, and happiness. It includes a variety of goods and services, many of which could be called ―luxury‖ items. Among them are vacation trips, the best medical and dental care, and recreation. Also included here are fancy goods and the latest styles in clothing.
On the fourth level, a lot of money is spent on services, while on the first three levels more is spent on goods.
A fifth level would probably involve needs that can be achieved best by community action Consumers may be spending more on taxes to pay for government action against disease, ignorance, crime, and prejudice. After filling our stomachs, our clothes closets, our garages, our
26
teeth, and our minds, we now may seek to ensure the health, safety, and leisure to enjoy more fully the good things on the first four levels.
( )1. According to the passage, man will begin to think about such needs as housing and
clothing only when A. he has saved up enough money
B. he has grown dissatisfied with his simple shelter C. he has satisfied his hunger D. he has learned to build houses
( )2. It can be inferred from the passage that by the end of World War II, most Americans
A. were very rich B. lived in poverty C. did not own automobiles D. had their own automobiles
( )3. What is the main concern of man on the fourth level? A. The more goods the better.
B. The more mental satisfaction the better.
C. The more ―luxury‖ items the better. D. The more earnings the better.
( )4.The author tends to think that the fifth level
A. would be little better than the fourth level B. may be a lot more desirable than the first four C. can be the last and most satisfying level
D. will become attainable before the government takes actions

At the University of Kansas art museum, scientists tested the effect of different colored walls on two groups of visitors to an exhibit of paintings. For the first group the room was painted white; for the second, dark brown . Movement of each group was followed by an electrical equipment under the carpet. The experiment showed that those who entered the dark brown room walked more quickly, covered more area, and spent less time in the room than people in the white one . Dark brown made people more active, but the activity ended sooner. Not only the choice of colors but also the general appearance of a room affects those inside. Another experiment presented people with photographs of faces whose energy was to be commented. Three groups of people were used; each was shown the same photos, but the first group was in an ordinary room, the second was in a nice office and the third was in a tastefully designed living room with a carpet. Results showed that the people in the beautiful room tend to give higher marks to the faces than those in the ugly room did . Other studies suggest that students do better on tests taken in comfortable rooms than in ordinary – looking or ugly ones.
( )1.Which of the following is the best expression of the main idea of this passage? A. People in beautiful rooms tend to give higher marks to photos of faces than people
in ugly rooms.
