What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 　 小题1:　Do you prefer grey and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead.  You tend to be a pessimist(悲观者).  At least, this is what psychologists(心理学家)tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors have on human beings. 　 小题2:　If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your 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(自***者)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(既成的事实)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 favorite color as we grow up—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.

E. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active.
F. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colors.
G. Colors do influence our moods—there is no doubt about it.

答案

小题1:D
小题2:B
小题3:G
小题4:A
小题5:E

解析

小题1:选D。根据下文问答形式可以看出, 这句是说如果喜欢的颜色是yellow, orange, red, 你可能是optimist类型的人。此句与下文的pessimist照应, 故选项D为正确答案。
小题2:选B。根据上文意思, 此句应该还是psychologists告诉我们的情况, 此空与上文是并列关系。
小题3:选G。从空后的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. 可知, 此处说明“颜色影响心情”, 正确答案为选项G。
小题4:选A。从空后的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. 可知, 此处说明黑色对人们的影响, 故正确答案为A。
小题5:选E。从下文的when their machines are painted orange rather than black or grey可知, 此处说明浅色的影响, 故推断出E为最佳选项。
