What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an optimist, a leader. an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than 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 colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tells us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite clour as we grow up----we are born with our preferences. 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.

Colours do influence our moods----there is no doubt about it .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. On the other hand ,black is depressing. 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.

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

1．According to this passage we know that           .

       A．the color you prefer reflects what kind of character you probably have

       B．experts know why you have a preference for a certain color

       C．if a bridge is painted other than black, there will never be suicides there

       D．a(chǎn)ccidents never happen to cars or machines in red color

2．What is the writer’s attitude towards the psychologists? They are          .

       A．doubtful              B．skeptical              C．contagious           D．reliable

3．I am going to attend a wedding party. Which color do you suggest I should not be dressed in?

       A．Red                    B．Pink                    C．Orange                D．Gray

4．From Paragraph Two, we can reach a conclusion that          .

       A．pessimists never wear clothes of red color

       B．colors have an effect on people’s feelings and moods

       C．optimists never wear clothes of dark or gray color

       D．people dressed in red never feel sad

The term “multitasking” originally referred to a computer's ability to carry out several tasks at one time. For many people, multitasking has become a way of life and even a key to success. In fact, some excellent mental aerobic exercises （大腦訓(xùn)練）involve engaging the brain in two or more challenging activities at a time. Although checking e-mail while talking on a phone and reading the newspaper may be second nature for some people, many times multitasking can make us less productive, rather than more. And studies show that too much multitasking can lead to increased stress, anxiety and memory loss.

In order to multitask, the brain uses an area known as the prefrontal cortex （前額葉腦皮層）. Brain scans of volunteers performing multiple tasks together show that as they shift from task to task, this front part of the brain actually takes a moment of rest between tasks. You may have experienced a prefrontal cortex “moment of rest” yourself if you've ever dialed （撥電話(huà)）a phone number and suddenly forgotten who you called when the line is answered. What probably occurred is that between the dialing and the answering, your mind shifted to another thought or task, and then took that “moment” to come back. Research has also shown that for many volunteers, job efficiency （效率）declines while multitasking, as compared to when they perform only one task at a time.

Multitasking is easiest when at least one of the tasks is habitual, or requires little thought. Most people don' t find it difficult to eat and read the newspaper at the same time. However, when two or more attention-requiring tasks are attempted at one time, people sometimes make mistakes.

We often don't remember things as well when we're trying to manage several details at the same time. Without mental focus, we may not pay enough attention to new information coming in, so it never makes it into our memory stores. That is one of the main reasons we forget people's names—even sometimes right after they have introduced themselves. Multitasking can also affect our relationships. If someone checks their e-mail while on the phone with a friend, they may come off as absent-minded or disinterested. It can also cause that person to miss or overlook key information being passed on to them.

1．Why are some mental aerobic exercises designed to engage people in multitasking?

A．To make them more productive.

B．To reduce their stress and anxiety.

C．To develop their communication skills.

D．To help them perform daily tasks more easily.

2．According to Paragraph 2, why may a person suddenly forget who he has called?

A．He may have his prefrontal cortex temporarily damaged.

B．He is probably interrupted by another task.

C．He is probably not very familiar with the person he has called.

D．He may need a rest between dialing and speaking.

3．People tend to make mistakes when       .

A．they perform several challenging tasks at a time 

B．new messages are processed one after another

C．their relationships with others are affected

D．the tasks require little thought

4．What is the main idea of the passage?

A．Multitasking has become a way of life.

B．Multitasking often leads to efficiency decline.

C．Multitasking exercises need to be improved.

D．Multitasking enables people to remember things better.
