As usual, Amber was hurrying to catch the yellow school bus. Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed the golden arches(拱形门) of McDonald’s, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood.

You may have noticed that several colors were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colors influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed(沮丧的) person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colors do add interest to daily conversations.

Besides, colors can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red? Since yellow is the most eye-catching color, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the color which usually shows warning, as a result, some traffic signs use this color. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.

The colors of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colors such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites(胃口). This is because bright colors are natural colors found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colors, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!

“Morning, Amber! What happened? You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend.

“Nothing … just feeling … blue,” said Amber.

“Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought? A Wii! It’s red-hot.”

Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the Wii and said, “Sounds great!”

1.According to the passage, if you are on a diet, ________ might help.

A.putting your food in a blue dish or bowl

B.turning on a yellow light during the meal

C.painting the walls of the dining table with an orange cloth

2.Most school buses are painted yellow because ________.

A.it tells other drivers to prepare to stop B.it helps bus drivers stay in a good mood

C.it can easily catch other people’s attention D.it is the color that most school

3.Which of the following statements is true?

A.Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first.

B.Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning.

C.Amber refused to go to Violet’s house in the end.

D.Amber didn’t catch the school bus and was late for school.

4.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

A.Colors influence people’s daily lives.

B.Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.

C.Different colors are used for different purposes.

C.Violet didn’t know how colors influenced our lives.

D.Arches of McDonald’s are painted gold only to make them beautiful.
