What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观主义者), a leader. Do you prefer gray and blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow than lead. You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者). At least, this is what psychologists 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. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up – we are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or as soon as you could see clearly.

Colors 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 (自杀) 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 colors make people not only happier but more active. It is established that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or gray. 36. \A. you don't like to follow others

B. you would be a member rather than a leader C. you would be afraid of following others

D. you would like to be leader rather than a member 37. If one enjoys life, one is sure to prefer __.

A. red to yellow B. blue to orange C. red to gray D. blue to yellow

38. \tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favorite color as we grow up.\\other facts\

A. besides other facts B. in regard to other facts C. not considering other facts D. according to other facts 39. Which of the following is true?

A. People's preference of one color to another is instinct (天性).

B. People's preference of one color to another is acquired as they grow up.

C. More people happen to love brown because they saw something brown when they were brown. D. Colors have little influence on our moods.

40. Those who committed suicide preferred the bridge over the Thames River near London to others because of __.

A. its shape B. its structure C. its color D. its building material Task 2
