New research suggests that the type of television you watched as a child has a great effect on the color of your dreams. While almost all people under 25 dream in color, thousands of people over 55, all of whom were brought up with black and white TV sets, often dream in monochrome (黑白画面)．

　 “It suggests there could be a critical period in our childhood when watching films has a big impact on the way dreams are formed，” said Eva Murzyn, a psychology student at Dundee University in Britain who carried out the study.

　 Research from 1915 through the 1950s suggested that the vast majority of dreams were in black and white. But the tide turned in the sixties, and later results suggested that up to 83 percent of dreams contained some color. Since this period also marked the transition (过渡) between black?and?white film and TV and Technicolor (特艺彩色), an obvious explanation was that the media had been painting people's dreams. However, there weren't any firm conclusions.

　 But now Miss Murzyn believes she has proven the link. She made a survey of more than 60 people, half of whom were over 55 and the others under 25.She asked the volunteers to answer a questionnaire on the color of their dreams and their childhood exposure to film and TV.

　 She then analyzed her own data. Only 4.4 percent of the under?25s' dreams were black and white. The over?55s who had had access to color TV and film during their childhood also reported a very low proportion of just 7.3 percent. But the over?55s who only had access to black?and?white media reported dreaming in black and white about a quarter of the time.

　 Even though they would have spent only a few hours a day watching TV or films, their attention and emotion would have been heightened during this time, leaving a deeper imprint on their mind, Miss Murzyn told the New Scientist.

　 The crucial time is between 3 and 10 when we all begin to have the ability to dream, she said.

Every people have its own way of saying things, its own special expressions．Many everyday American expressions are based on colors．
Red is a hot color．Americans often use it to express heat．They may say they are red hot about something unfair．When they are red hot they are very angry about something．The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste．Fast loud music is popular with many people．They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz．
Pink is a lighter kind of red．People sometimes say they are in the pink when they are in good health．The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century．It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health．
Blue is a cool color．The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music．Blues is slow, sad and soulful．Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song - Mood Indigo -about the deep blue color, indigo．In the words of the song: "You ain’t been blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo．" Someone who is blue is very sad．
The color green is natural for trees and grass．But it is an unnatural color for humans．A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green． A passenger on a boat is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green．
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car．That person may say he is green with envy．Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks．Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money．
The color black is used often in expressions．People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day．The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day．A blacklist is illegal now．But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations．

Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.

Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe or finished. For example, a greenhorn is someone who has no experience, who is new to a situation. In the fifteenth century, a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns(角) had not yet developed. A century later, a greenhorn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle. By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.

Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb. The expression comes from early nineteen hundreds. A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well. You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.

The Green Revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. The new plants produced much larger crops. The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.

Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green-eyed monster is not a frightening creature from outer space. It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants. A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfriend begins going out with someone else. Or, that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay rise and he does not.

44. A greenhorn now refers to ____.

A. a person who is new in a job B. a new solider

C. a young horse D. a cow without horns

45. A person who has a green thumb is a person ____.

A. who is good at growing plants B. whose thumbs are of green color

C. whose garden is greener than others’ D. who is younger than his neighbors

46. The author is actually talking about ____.

A. colors B. language C. politics D. agriculture

A. In about the 16th century, a greenhorn meant an experienced soldier.

B. The Green Revolution may have some connection with green thumbs.

_____I like the color of the hat，I don,t like its shape．

C．How

D．When

Many people take it for granted that black is a color of bad things while white should always mean something good．This may be because, in their opinion, black is related to darkness and white to purity（纯洁）．

However, that is not always the case．Did you know that the same colour may mean differently in different places of the world?

In the English-speaking world, black is the colour of mourning（哀悼）．People wear black clothes at the funeral．Red is concerned with danger or bloodshed (流血)．Yellow is the word for fear．If you are afraid, you are yellow．Yet none of these sayings is true outside the English-speaking world．In China and Korea white is the colour of mourning．In Russia, China and some other countries, red stands for beauty, life and excellence．In Italy and Germany, you are yellow with anger, not with fear．

Even within the English-speaking area it is not difficult to find colour contradictions (矛盾)．A redcap in the United States is a porter in a railway station．In Britain, however, a redcap is a military policeman．Both names are logical because both men wear red caps．Similarly, the British term for an American white collar worker is sometimes called a black-coated worker．

One does not have to cross an area to find color differences．Would you rather be red-blooded? If we go back to the origin, we find that both terms are logical as both names suggest．The expression “blueblood” comes from Spain, where some noble（贵族）families proudly said that they had “blue blood”．But then why “blue” blood? Because they were fair-skinned, and it is only natural that their blood vessels (血管) stood out appearing blue．

1.Yellow is concerned with anger in ______.

A．Russia B．Britain C．Germany D．China

2. Both Britain and America would probably agree that ______.

A．black is the color of mourning B．a black-coated worker is employed in an office

C．red stands for beauty and excellence D．a redcap is a porter in a station

3.The best title for this passage is ______.

A．The Origin of Blue Blood B．The Development of the Use of Colors

C．Colors that Carry Bad Meanings D．The Meaning Concerned With Certain Colors

4.When some Spanish called themselves “blueblood”, they actually meant ______.

A．they had heart trouble and their faces looked blue B．they came from a noble family

C．they had blue blood in their vessels D．they were fair-skinned
