What color of wearing do you like? Do you know “dopamine dressing (多巴胺穿搭)”? It’s one of the most talked about fashion trends (趋势) for 2023. However, is there any science behind this?
“Dopamine dressing” came out from the book Dress Your Best Life. American fashion psychologist (心理学家), Dawnn Karen wrote this book in 2020. In the book, dopamine dressing is about wearing colorful clothing to get more dopamine.
Dopamine is a chemical in our brain. This kind of chemical makes people feel good. Our brain gives it out when we eat delicious food, play with our pets, listen to our favorite songs, after we exercise or when we win a game.
According to Science Focus Magazine, there are studies that show a relationship between the colors of the clothes we wear and how we act and feel. One study found that wearing red can bring better physical performance. It also showed bright colors can make people feel active. One more study showed that wearing green can help people relax because it is the color of nature. Yellow, the color of summer and warmth, can bring people happiness. But there are some problems with these studies, as people from different cultures have different ideas about dressing and colors.
In a word, “dopamine dressing” shows that we can wear colorful clothes to get more dopamine and feel good. Dressing is more than just a trend. It’s also a way of showing ourselves. So, next time you’re getting dressed, think about which colors will bring out yourself best.

【推荐1】Krakatau Volcano is in a small island in Indonesia．It had been peaceful for about 200 years before it erupted in 1883．
The first signs of the activity of the volcano appeared in May 1883，when fire and smoke could be seen at the top of the mountain．Great noise could be heard even in Jakarta a hundred miles away．Later the activity grew much greater．The peak（山顶）was covered with smoke and fire；the smoke at one time was seventeen miles high in the air．The lava--soft and hot rock--shot up into the air and rolled down the sides of the mountain．
The mouth of the volcano was not at the peak of the mountain but on its side，close to the sea．As it grew bigger and bigger with the eruption，the sea water got into it．When the sea water reached the lava inside the volcano，it made the upper part of the lava colder and harder．And this sealed off the rest of the lava below．As the inside of the lava could not break through the seal，the pressure built up until the mountain blew up．
The eruption of the volcano was followed by several earthquakes which resulted in bad consequences．About 36,000 people were killed and many towns and villages near the sea were completely destroyed by the great waves which the earthquake caused．

【推荐3】When you look at a giraffe, what do you see? A leopard’s coat? A camel’s head and neck? A cow’s feet? Or a sake’s tongue? Why does the giraffe have so many different characteristics (特征)? The giraffe needs all of them to survive (生存).
Giraffes have long necks for two reasons. First, they eat from the tops of very tall trees. Second, they need to see over the tops of the trees. They can see danger, like a lion, from far away. Then they have time to run away or hide.
The giraffe’s coat is also important to its survival. It has brown spots and is very thick. The spots help the giraffe hide among the trees. The giraffe’s thick coat protects it from the sun.
Two other important characteristics of the giraffe are is large eyes and long thick eyelashes. With its large eyes, it can see very well. The eyelashes protect its eyes. The giraffe sees better than most other large animals in Africa.
A giraffe’s hard feet and strong legs are also important for self-protection. If a lion comes too close, the giraffe can kick it on the head. That usually kills the lion.
One last characteristic is the giraffe’s long black tongue. It is about 18 inches long with their tongues, giraffes get food far above their heads. They also clean their eyes and ears with them. Why is the giraffe’s tongue black? The color protects it from the sun.
Maybe the giraffe looks like four animals. But of course we know it is not. It is one animal, with many characteristics. Its characteristics help it survive.

When people say “culture”, we think of art and history. But one very famous symbol in American culture is a cartoon. We all know and love the black mouse with two large round ears—Mickey Mouse. Over 80 years ago, he first appeared in the cartoon Steamboat Willie. When this cartoon came out in New York on November 18, 1928, it was the first cartoon with sound and music. The man behind Mickey was Walt Disney. He became very rich and successful. In the 1930s, he made 87 cartoons with Mickey.
Some people might ask how this cartoon animal became so popular. One of the main reasons is that Mickey was like a common man, but he always tried to face any danger. In his early films, Mickey was unlucky and had many problems such as losing his house or girlfriend, Minnie. However, he was always ready to try his best. People went to the cinema to see the “little man” win. Most of them wanted to be like Mickey.
On November 18, 1978, Mickey became the first cartoon character to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Today’s cartoons are usually not so simple as little Mickey Mouse, but everyone still knows and loves him. Who has a pair of ears more famous than Mickey’s?

【推荐2】There are many different ways to solve a problem. One way is to be creative. People often think creative thinking is just for artists and designers, but this is not true. Dr. Edward de Bono, an expert in creative thinking and problem solving, has shown the world that using creativity to solve problems is very useful in business and in our communities, and will continue to be so in the future.
One example of creative thinking is the solution to a parking problem in a town center. In the areas close to stores, people can only park for 20 minutes. There are parking meters where people pay to park in these areas. However, the problem is that many people leave their cars there for longer than 20 minutes. Dr. Edward de Bono’s solution is to make a rule that all cars parked in these areas must keep their headlights on. Of course, drivers will want to return to their cars before their car batteries (蓄电池) die.
According to Dr. de Bono, people will need to use creative thinking more often in the future. To help people think more creatively, he designed the “Six Thinking Hats” system(系统). The system helps people think about a problem in different ways in order to find a solution. In the system, there are six imaginary hats of different colors. Each hat symbolizes a different way of thinking. For example, the white hat helps people consider the facts. The black hat is the most logical(有逻辑的) and helps people consider why a possible solution may not work. So, next time you have a problem in your community, think about it creatively, from different perspectives, and see what ideas you have.
1. What is the topic of the text?| A．Being a creative artist in the community. | B．Doing business successfully in the future. |
| C．Asking experts for some useful advice. | D．Using creative thinking to solve problems. |
| A．To express a result. | B．To describe a problem. |
| C．To support the topic. | D．To list some numbers. |

| A．The system is used to help people think quickly. |

【推荐3】E-waste is fast becoming a serious problem around the world. This report will examine this problem and provide some possible ways to solve it.
We live in a society that is producing and using electronics all the time. It is often cheaper to buy new products than to repair old ones. Also, through clever advertising, companies always encourage people to change their old TVs, mobile phones and computers for the latest modles. E-waste is created when we throw away old ones. In the EU alone, about 8,700,000 tons of e-waste is produced each year. Sadly, just over1,000,000 tons is recycled.
Burying (填埋) e-waste or burning it cause serious problems for the environment. Electronics have dangerous things in them. These things can then get into the ground or pollute the air when they are burnt.
In recent years, many countries have started recycling e﹣waste. However, their plans are not always managed properly. Sometimes electronics are just sent to poor countries such as Ghana. There they are often burnt in public areas, which is very bad for people’s health. Setting up recycling centers is a good way to solve this problem. E-waste recycling centers could recycle the parts that can be reused and deal with the rest properly.
Another way is to make producers responsible for their used products. This means that producers must take back old products which are no longer wanted. They should then make sure they are properly recycled or reused.
As for us, we should try to cut down on e-waste. Change electronics only when we have to. And don’t buy a product just to have the latest model.
E-waste is a serious problem in the modern world. Both producers and users must take actions and try to keep it to the smallest amount.
1. About ________ tons of e-waste is not recycled every year in the EU alone.| A．8,700,000 | B．1,000,000 | C．7,700,000 | D．7,000 |
