If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment. First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one. It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier. Why do you think so? A scientist found different colours have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That’s to say, every colour has its own weight in our mind and the order is the same. The heaviest colour is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white. The scientist told us that colours also have smell. Can you smell the colour? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every colour stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength (波长). It reaches our brain through sense organs (感觉器官). According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colours they like, and refuse the colours they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colours you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. 26. In people’s mind, different colours have different weight. Orange is heavier than ________. A. blue B. red C. yellow D. green 27. The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us ________. A. a red box is heavier than a white one B. a colour has weight in one’s mind C. white paper is lighter than red paper D. you can know the weight of a colour by holding it 28. Why did the scientist say colours have smell? A. Because people can sense the light from colours. B. Because we can smell colours with our nose. C. Because every colour has its own sweet smell. D. Because every colour can give off light of the same length. B Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys? The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green is a color that represents the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of happiness and good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good luck in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs (宗教信仰). Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against something bad. People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically (身心). People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachs. Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial (商业的) websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye and encourages them to buy things. Blue is another calm color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some people suggest that eating from blue plates can help. The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully. 29. Why do Chinese give children the red envelope with money in the New Year? A. Because they hope to bring good luck to kids. B. Because they have personal experiences. C. Because they are generous and like red color. D. Because they have commercial purposes. 30. Why do many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button? A. To relax people’s body and mind. B. To encourage people to buy things. C. To increase people’s appetites. D. To cause a person’s blood pressure to rise. 31. What color might help lose weight according to the text? A. Red. B. Blue. C. Green. D. Purple. 32. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text? A. The Cultural Meaning of Color B. Colors and Human Beings C. Colors and Personal Experiences D. The Meaning and Function (功能) of Color C Do you know why different animals or pests（昆虫）have their special colours？Colours in them seem to be used mainly to protect themselves. Some birds like eating locusts（蝗虫）,but birds cannot easily catch them. Why？It is because locusts change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But as autumn comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by others. So they have to hide themselves in the day and appear only at night. If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of colours is protecting themselves. Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be easily seen by hunters. This is because they have the colours much like the trees. Did you ever notice even strange act？A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind of very black liquid（液体）when it faces danger. While the liquid comes out, other sea animals cannot find it. So it can easily swim away. It's not strong at all. But in this way it has lived up to now. 33.

Which is the best tile for this passage？ A. The Change of Colours for Animals and Pests B. Colours of Different Animals and pests C. The Main Use of Colours for Animals and Pests D. Some Animals and Pests D You are walking down the street in the middle of the day and you see someone wearing a green hat. Some people may think it’s fashionable while others don’t care at all. Do you wonder what wearing a green hat means in Chinese culture? Here are four colors and their meanings in Chinese culture. Green In most cultures, green represents (代表) nature and is a calm color. However, in modern Chinese culture, green has a negative meaning. For example, when you say “His face looks green.”, it means he doesn’t look well. When you say someone is wearing a green hat, it means the person’s partner is cheating on him or her. Yellow In ancient China, yellow represented power. Only the emperor could wear this color. Yellow was also considered as a natural color. The Yellow River, the second longest river in China, got its name from the yellowish soil (土壤) in it. Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. For example, when you ask people how their relationship is going, they might say “huáng le”, which means they’ve broken up. Red Red is considered as one of the luckiest colors in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the royal (皇室的) family wore bright red. In modern China, red is often seen at celebrations like weddings and festivals. Red also describes someone who is very popular, like a star. You will say “He is red.” White In ancient China, white was considered as common people’s color. Back then, only the rich could afford to make colorful clothes. Common people couldn’t afford that, so most of their clothes were white. Now people still enjoy white clothes, but they sometimes connect white with bad things. It is connected with scary things like death. 37. What’s the purpose of the example in Paragraph 1? A. To make a comparison. B. To show the result. C. To introduce the topic. D.

It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically (身心). People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachs.

Some people may think it’s fashionable while others don’t care at all. Do you wonder what wearing a green hat means in Chinese culture? Here are four colors and their meanings in Chinese culture. Green In most cultures, green represents (代表) nature and is a calm color. However, in modern Chinese culture, green has a negative meaning. For example, when you say “His face looks green.”, it means he doesn’t look well. When you say someone is wearing a green hat, it means the person’s partner is cheating on him or her. Yellow In ancient China, yellow represented power. Only the emperor could wear this color. Yellow was also considered as a natural color. The Yellow River, the second longest river in China, got its name from the yellowish soil (土壤) in it. Now, when yellow is used in a sentence, it means someone fails and that something doesn’t go as planned. For example, when you ask people how their relationship is going, they might say “huáng le”, which means they’ve broken up. Red Red is considered as one of the luckiest colors in Chinese culture. In ancient China, the royal (皇室的) family wore bright red. In modern China, red is often seen at celebrations like weddings and festivals. Red also describes someone who is very popular, like a star. You will say “He is red.” White In ancient China, white was considered as common people’s color. Back then, only the rich could afford to make colorful clothes. Common people couldn’t afford that, so most of their clothes were white. Now people still enjoy white clothes, but they sometimes connect white with bad things. It is connected with scary things like death. 37. What’s the purpose of the example in Paragraph 1? A. To make a comparison. B. To show the result. C. To introduce the topic. D. To express an opinion. 38. Which color best describes a popular person? A. Yellow. B. Green. C. Red. D. White. 39. What can we know about “white” according to the passage? A. It is popular but harmful sometimes. B. It is common but unlucky sometimes. C. It is unusual and expensive. D. It is general and natural. 40. What is the main idea of the passage? A.
