　　It is hardly surprising that clothing manufacturers(生产商) follow certain uniform standards for various features(特征) of clothes. What seems strange, however, is that the standard adopted for women is the opposite of the one for men. Take a look at the way your clothes button. Men's clothes tend to button from the right, and women's from the left. Considering most of the world's population----men and women----are right-handed, the men's standard would appear to make more sense for women. So why do women's clothes button from the left? History really seems to matter here. Buttons first appeared only on the clothes of the rich in the 17th century, when rich women were dressed by servants. For the mostly right-handed servants, having women's shirts button from the left would be easier. On the other hand, having men's shirts button from the right made sense, too. Most men dressed themselves, and a sword drawn from the left with the right hand would be less likely to get caught in the shirt. Today women are seldom dressed by servants, but buttoning from the left is still the standard for them. Is it interesting? Actually, a standard, once set, resists change. At a time when all women's shirts buttoned from the left, it would have been risky for any single manufacturer to offer women's shirts that buttoned from the right. After all, women had grown so used to shirts which buttoned from the left and would have to develop new habits and skills to switch. Besides, some women might have found it socially awkward to appear in public wearing shirts that buttoned from the right, since anyone who noticed that would believe they were wearing men's shirts.

　　阅读理解Blue planets Space is not black，but light green，a team of astronomers announced on January 10.They studied the light sent out by 200 000 galaxies.What they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)．

　　The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.Most astronomers believe that the universe probably started with a“blue period”when young blue stars filled space.Now the universe is in a“green period”．They believe it will finally enter a“red period”when the older，redder stars appear.

　　“The reason for the colour changing is that the rate of stars forming is changing，”said Ivan Baldry，an astronomer who worked to find the average colour of light in the universe.

　　Research presented by NASA scientists shows that the highest point of star­forming may have occurred earlier than previously(以前)believed.It was probably very soon after the“Big Bang(宇宙大爆炸)”that many scientists believe gave birth to the universe.

　　There is no way any human could actually see the green colour.“The only way to see it is if you saw all the universe from the same distance away and it was not moving，”Baldry said.Baldry and his co­worker，Karl Glazebrook，have both joked about possible marketing(营销)opportunities for the new colour.

　　Perhaps colour­of­the­universe T­shirts or coffee cups could become popular.But Baldry allowed，“I don't know if you can patent(专利)a colour，that's not our business.We haven't actually been to a paint shop yet to see if they have a name for this.”

　　1．The astronomers discovered the colour of the universe________.

　　A．when they were researching on the age of the universeB．when they attempted to test theories about the forming of stars and galaxies

　　C．to prove that the universe is continuously changing

　　D．and showed that the stars and galaxies may have formed earlier than previously believed

　　答案：B　第二段第一句“The discovery was part of an attempt to test theories about how stars and galaxies form.”说明了discovery是在理论检测过程当中作出的。

　　2．According to the astronomers，________.

　　A．the universe is changing its colour all the time

　　B．all the heavenly bodies are green at present

　　C．the universe has changed its colour several times

　　D．the universe will finally turn red

　　答案：D　第二段最后一句“They believe it will finally enter a‘red period' when the older，redder stars appear.”为该选项提供了依据。从第二段可看出宇宙的颜色由蓝到绿，最终将变而还会变红，所以C选项中的已经变了几次不符合事实。而all the heavenly bodies远远大于文中的stars这一范围。A选项中的all the time表示的频率过高。

　　3．We can infer that the most popular colour of T­shirts would be________.

　　A．red

　　B．blue

　　C．green

　　D．light green

　　答案：D　综合第一段第三句“What they found was that the average colour of the universe is a bit greener than turquoise(绿宝石)”和最后一段第一句“Perhaps colour­of­the­universe T­shirts or coffee cups could become popular.”可看出答案。4．Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

　　A．No human can see the real colour of the universe.

　　B．The theory of“Big Bang”is widely received by scientists.

　　C．The rate of stars forming is causing the change of the universe's colour.

　　D．Humans can receive light from at least 200,000 galaxies.

　　答案：A　D选项来自于第一段第二句；C选项来自第三段第一句；B选项来自第四段最后一句。A选项与第六段有很大的差异。
