Butler Fire Station is in Perth, Australia. The firefighters there are volunteers. I am one of them. We need to be ready to go in one minute and a half at any time. Here is a common day at the fire station.

8:00 — 8:30 We start by checking the equipment (设备). You can't take out equipment that doesn't work.

8:30 — 9:30 We all have to spend an hour in the gym doing physical training. Sometimes I don't feel like doing that, but we have to keep strong.

9:30 — 12:00 Morning duties. This means going out intothe community. It includes checking hydrants (消防栓), going on school visits and doing building inspections (检查). When we finish our community work, we practice cutting open cars and things like that.

12:00 — 13:00 Lunch. We all enjoy sitting down and having a break for lunch, but we know that we might be called out to an emergency (紧急情况) at any time.

13:00 — 13:30 Station duties. This means cleaning the station. I don't mind doing this, but it's the least exciting part of the job!

13:30 — 16:00 Training and inspections (similar to morning duties).

16:00 — 17:00 Study. During this period of time, we have to keep on learning. For a firefighter, it is important to keep up with new technology. I'm interested in finding out how things work, so that’s the best time of the day.

Before leaving, we make sure the people working after us are ready to take over.

How important is color in the business world?

Google, one of the biggest U.S. companies, is trying to find it out. The company has already found “a close connection between color and satisfaction with a person’s work area”. That’s according to its spokeswoman named Meghan Casserly.

“Color is a silent salesperson,” said Elyria Kemp. She is an assistant professor of marketing at the University of New Orleans.

Kemp is following color trends in business. She is studying the connection between feelings and color. According to Kemp, when people make an evaluation (评估) of a product, usually they do this within 90 seconds or less. Besides, more than half of their first evaluation is based on (以……为根据) color alone.

That’s why so many companies are researching their color choices. They are spending thousands of dollars on the research, too. Just think of UPS’s Pullman brown, Home Depot’s orange and Tiffany & Co.’s blue.

Joclyn Benedetto is a spokeswoman for Tiffany & Co. She said the success of the company’s jewelry (珠宝) was connected to its blue color. It is used to wrap (包装) every product. She said the color was chosen by the founder Charles Lewis Tiffany for the cover of Blue Book, Tiffany’s annual collection of beautifully hand-made jewels, which first came out in 1845.

Coca-Cola’s red color also dates back more than 100 years. The soft drink was shipped in barrels painted red.

A spokesperson for Home Depot said research showed that the first thing people thought of was orange when they heard the name of the company.

Smaller companies are also realizing the importance of color. But picking the right color is important.

“You know when something is right because you get a feeling of safety, and it’s not something that you think about. It just will hit you,” said Emil Hagopian, a distributor for Mar Plast Color Building Accessories in Ann Arbor, Mich. “And sometimes, if it’s done wrong, that also hits you.”

1.What is Google trying to find out?

A. How to create a better work area.

B. How to become the biggest U.S. company.

C. The connection between color and business.

D. The secret of success in the business world.

2.Which company does Meghan Casserly work for?

A. Tiffany & Co.　　 　　　　　　 B. Coca-Cola.

C. Home Depot.　　　　　　　　　　 D. Google.

3.People usually make an evaluation of a product 　　　　　　　　 .

A. in a short time　　　　 B. in a long time

C. based on its shape　 D. based on their feelings

4.What do we know about Tiffany & Co. according to the passage?

A. It only sells women’s clothes.

B. Blue is its owner’s favorite color.

C. Its products are wrapped in blue.

D. Its red color dates back over 100 years.

The best thing though is that I feel a hundred times happier than I’ve been in years.
