题目内容
What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange or red? 【小题1】 Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy and would rather follow the lead. You tend to be a pessimist. At least, this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of colour preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. 【小题2】If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened you eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
【小题3】 A yellow room makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one. And a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day.【小题4】A black bridge over the Thames River, near London, used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area——until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply. Perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
【小题5】It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey.
A.On the other hand, black is depressing. |
B.They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we growup——we are born with our preference. |
C.The rooms are painted in different colors as you like. |
D.If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement |
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G. Colours do influence our moods——there is no doubt about it.

【小题2】B
【小题3】G
