Everybody knows that Coca-Cola is red, and Starbucks is green. 1. What we may not be aware of is the science behind these companies’ choices of these colors.

Color psychology is the study of how colors affect people’s mood, behavior, and decision-making. Companies use color psychology when they develop their brands and advertisements in order to persuade us to buy.2.

3. For example, it’s no accident that many tech products use white; it’s simple, stylish, and clean. Meanwhile, cosmetics companies tend to go for purple, black, or pink colors that represent passion, luxury, and romance.

Companies often choose action colors that urge you to buy right now. Red, for instance, is a high-energy, exciting color that moves people to action. Yellow is the color of summer, and it’s bright and attention-grabbing.4.

5. Studies show that consumers prefer brands that they recognize. Thus, those with an established color scheme, such as LEGO or Facebook, are likely to perform more strongly on the market.

All this goes to show that successful companies have mastered the art of color psychology. It may seem trivial, but their choice of colors has a profound effect on the spending habits of consumers.

A .Based on this, companies create fancy names for colors to make them sound special.

B. In fact, studies have shown that around 90 percent of people base their spending choices on color and appearance.

C. It’s no wonder that McDonald’s decided to use these two colors for its branding.

D. Chances are that most of us can name companies and their respective brand colors.

E. In fact, most major companies are associated with certain specific colors.

F. Because of this, companies use colors to influence how we feel about their products.

G. This is why, for example, Estée Lauder uses names like “passion fruit” and “hot rocket” for its lipsticks.

Experts like to say the best form of exercise is whatever kind you’ll actually do. But that may not always be the case; new research finds that people who combine exercise with their social lives may be at an advantage over solitary(独自) exercisers. Tennis, badminton and soccer are all better for longevity(长寿) than cycling, swimming, jogging or gym exercise, according to the research.

The study was based on data from about 8,500 adults who were part of the Copenhagen City Heart Study. They completed a health and lifestyle questionnaire, which included questions about type and frequency of physical activity, and were monitored by the researchers for around 25 years, a period during which about 4,500 of the subjects died.

Tennis came out on top in the research. Compared with people sitting all day, those who reported playing tennis as their main form of exercise could expect to add 9.7 years to their life time, followed by badminton (6.2 years), soccer (4.7 years), cycling (3.7 years), swimming (3.4 years), jogging (3.2 years) and health-club activities (1.5 years).

Tennis likely took the top spot because “it’s very interactive,” says study co-author Dr. James O’Keefe, a physician at Saint Luke’s Mid America Heart Institute. “At every point you’re talking. It’s just a very natural way to emotionally bond with people, besides getting your exercise.” But he adds that the study may not have been able to fully account for the fact that wealthier, better-educated people—who tend to be healthier to begin with—may be more likely to play tennis.

Activities like running and weight lifting still extend your life and offer plenty of other health benefits. But for the best possible benefits, O’Keefe says gym-goers may want to consider combining those workouts with activities that foster social connection.

O’Keefe, whose exercise typically includes running and weight lifting, says he’s even changed his own behavior because of the study: he and his family have taken up badminton.

“You can’t play badminton without feeling like a kid again,” he says. “It’s just pure fun.”

1.Which of the following is best for living a long life?

A. Cycling.　　 B. Badminton.

C. Swimming.　　 D. Gym exercise.

2.How many people were still living at the end of the research?

A. About 8,500.　　 B. About 4,500.

C. About 4000.　　 D. About 2500.

3.What matters most to the result of the research?

A. Family life.　　 B. Social connections.

C. Frequency of exercise.　　 D. Wealth and education.

4.What does O’Keefe do after the finding?

A. He puts the theory into practice.

B. He plays badminton just for fun.

C. He feels like playing badminton with kids.

D. He takes more exercise than before.
