What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange, and red? If you do, you must be an optimist（樂觀主義者）, a leader, or an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer grey and blue? If you do, then you are probably quiet, shy and you would rather follow than lead. If you love green, you are strong-minded and determined. You wish to succeed and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously studying the meaning of color preference, and the effect that colors have on human beings. They tell us that we don't choose our favorite colors as we grow up. 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.

Colors do impact our moods----there is no doubt about it. A yellow room makes us feel more cheerful and more comfortable 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. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but also more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black or dark grey.

Remember that if you feel low, you can brighten your day with a few colorful things. Remember that you will know your friends and your enemies better when you find out what colors they like and dislike as well.

1. According to psychologists, _________.

A. anyone can choose his color preference in his life

B. no one can choose his color preference in his life

C. anyone is born with his color preference

D. no one is born with his color preference

2. According to the passage,__________.

A. if you enjoy life, you must like yellow, orange and red

B. if you are quiet, you must prefer gray or blue

C. if you love green, you usually do what you have decided

D. if you love pink, you often go to flower shops

3. The underlined word “impact” in paragraph 2 can be replaced by “_______”.

A. influence B. ruin C. reflect D. explore

4. Psychologists study the meaning of color preference because_________.

A. colors may decide the results of our work and study

B. colors may affect the emotional states of the people

C. color preference can tell you who your friends are

D. color preference can help you to see through your enemies

3. ______4.________ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation.

GAD How to find time for yourself

Do you ever find yourself longing for some time for yourself? Many of us are so busy with work, school, and home life that often there is no time left over to do something that you enjoy. What follows are some ways to carve out that necessary time you need to slow down, and enjoy life.
