Question

What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, red?   小題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.   小題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.
  小題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.   小題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.
  小題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.

試題分析：本文講述了顏色和人的情緒，性格的關系，并詳細描述了不同的顏色對人的影響。
小題1:根據下一句，如果你喜歡灰色和藍色，說明你是一個安靜害羞的人。那么如果你喜歡紅色，你就是一個積極的樂觀的人。故C項符合上下文。
