Question

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red? 1. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be 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. 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.

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. 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.

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. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour as we grow up ----- we are born with our preference.

B. On the other hand, black is depressing.

C. If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement.

D. Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active.

E. Life is like a picture or a poem, full of different colours.

F. Colours do influence our moods---there is no doubt about it.

G. The rooms are painted in different colours as you like.

【解析】

試題分析：你最喜歡的顏色是什么？心理學家告訴我們亮色使人精力充沛，而暗色讓人壓抑，。

1.上句提到你喜歡黃色，橙色和紅色嗎？第二段講到黃色讓人開心，紅色讓人溫暖，推斷出喜歡這類明亮顏色的人應該是樂觀積極，領導者的角色。故選C。

2.上文提到心理學家說，這里也是心理學家告知我們，我們天生就有自己喜歡的顏色，因此選A。

3.黃色讓人開心放松，紅色讓人在悲傷的冬日感到溫暖快樂，又說到泰晤士河上的黑色的大橋是很多自殺的現(xiàn)場，本段在講顏色的確影響我們的心情，選F。

4.下句說到泰晤士河上的黑色的大橋是很多自殺的現(xiàn)場，過渡句應該是另一方面，黑色給人壓抑沮喪的感覺。選B。

5.下句說到當機器被粉刷成橙色時，工人工作效率更高，事故更少，最后還是在肯定亮色對人們積極地影響。選D。
