“He looks red.” “I am feeling blue.” “She was green.” How often have you heard these expressions? They’re actually fairly common. And they show how color relates to our emotions.

Actually, color does have a physical effect on the human body. It can influence the pituitary gland (脑下垂体), which helps control hormone reduction. Hormones can affect our moods, so it makes sense that color would, too. But it can also be used to change our moods.

How do colors relate to moods and emotions?

Red is all about energy, but it can also indicate anger.

Orange is stimulating, good for times when we just can’t seem to get started with something. It may be useful for reducing stress.

Yellow is good for mental activities like reasoning and analysis. It can promote self-confidence and is helpful in situations when you need to be more optimistic.

Green tends to make most people think of nature, since so much of the natural world is green. It’s about connections—with nature, or with our fellow humans. It’s also good for general stress, since it can help balance emotions.

Blue is relaxing. It can stimulate creativity. Light blue can mean quiet, and dark blue can be depressing.

Purple is related to imagination. In some situations it can also be very peaceful.

White is definitely about peace.But it’s also associated with purity.

How can .you use colors to change your mood? Well, clothing is the most obvious choice. What you wear not only helps you feel a certain way,but also can give a strong impression about you to others—especially people you’ve never met.

But you don’t have to change everything about your appearance. Sometimes a cap, a tie or a scarf, in a particular color will have the desired effect—without being too noticeable to others.

1.The sentence “He looks red.” In the first paragraph means that”_____”

A. He saw something with the color of red.

B. He was shy and his face became red.

C. He was tired of something he was doing.

D. He was out of temper with somebody or something.

2.Which color may be an inventor’s favorite?

A. Red.　　 B. Orange.

C. Yellow.　　 D. Blue.

3.If you are stressful, what should you do to change your mood?

A. Wear a red or a white shirt.

B. Wear a light orange or a green tie.

C. Wear a yellow or a purple scarf.

D. Wear a dark blue or a dark cap.

4.Which one is the best title of the text？

A. How Color Affects Our Emotions

B. Which Is Your Favorite Color

C. How to Change Your Mood

D. Color Affects Hormone Production

Her frozen fingers touched the flame trying to feel alive. She could feel the warmth but it was a cold heat, as if the candle was rejecting her.

Her arms turned red because of the cold, her short sleeved shirt not giving her enough warmth. The winter air grabbed(抓住) at her arms, causing her pain, but she didn’t mind. She knew she should put her jacket on, it was winter in Connecticut, but that would be giving up. Up here, in this tree she felt safe.

She looked at the candle, surrounded by hardening wax(蜡). She placed her fingers gently on the warm green wax. This candle was a reminder of her life inside that house, a life she would have to return to eventually.

As a child, she had gotten this candle. She spent all she had on it. The beautiful crystal box （水晶盒）had caught her eye. Five whole nickels（五分币） had brought her that candle.

She gave it to her mother for Mother’s Day. Her mother had managed a smile and put it on a shelf. “It’s very pretty, honey! I will put it right here.” Since then that candle had never been moved, never been lighted, sitting dusty on a cluttered shelf that no one could see. Later on, her parents got divorced.

By now the candle was colder than the air and the darkness was complete. The snow on the ground made the night lighter and less satisfying than it had been before the first snowfall. She liked the darkness because she felt safe in it. From the glances of her friends who liked the girl she used to be. From the boys who could never figure out who she was. From her guidance counselor(顾问) whose endless worried looks never made her feel any better.

No one was outside at this time of night. She was alone in the world, just how she liked it. Just as she was about to lean back against the branch, she heard a sound.

She heard footsteps breaking the ice in the snow, heading toward her. He was making his way toward the white fence at the edge of the building, right against the road. Normally she would have ignored this person and stayed on her branch faraway from human contact, but this figure had something with him. He trudged(吃力地走) toward the white fence carrying a case. The figure reached the fence, opened the case and took out a shiny object.

She took her eyes off this figure only long enough to climb down the tree to get a better view of him. She reached the bottom and saw that the person had turned to face the street, sitting on the white fence that she and her friends once sat on. She stepped carefully on the ice, making her way toward him.

And then a beautiful sound of music came from the shiny object. She stopped and listened to it. She started walking towards the guy again. Just as she was about to step onto the snow banks, she slipped on the ice crashing to the ground. The figure turned around in surprise and a sudden recognition fell upon them both.

1.The girl was hiding in the tree at deep night to ______.

A. keep herself from the cold            　　

B. wait for the boy to come

C. want to be left alone            　　　　

D. seek safety from any hurt

2.From the story, we can learn that ______.

A. the girl suffered a lot in her life　　　　　　　

B. the girl’s parents divorced because of her

C. teachers and friends treated the girl badly　　

D. the girl used to stay in the tree when feeling sad

3.The underlined word “it” in the story refers to ______.

A. leaning back against the branch    　　　　 　　

B. being alone in the world

C. not being disturbed at night        　　 　　

D. it being dark with snow around

4.From the end of the story, it can be known that the girl _______.

A. knew the person            　　　　　

B. knew what the object was

C. realized her wishes            　　

D. would never feel alone any more
