What is your favorite color? Do you
like yellow, orange and red? If you do, you must be an optimist (乐观主义者), a
leader, an active person who enjoys life, people and excitement. Do you prefer
greys and blues? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and you would rather follow
than lead. You tend to be a pessimist (悲观主义者). At least, this is what
psychologists tell us, and they should know, because they have been seriously
studying the meaning of color preference, as well as the effect that colors as
we grow up. We are born with our preference. If you happen to love brown, you
did so, as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see
clearly. Colors do influence our moods there is no doubt about it. A yellow room
makes most people feel more cheerful and more relaxed than a dark green one; and
a red dress brings warmth and cheer to the saddest winter day. On the other
hand, black is depressing. A black bridge over the Thames River, near London,
used to be the scene of more suicides than any other bridge in the area until it
was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell sharply;
perhaps it would have fallen even. The number had been done in pink or baby
blue. Light and bright colors make people not only happier but
more active. It is an established fact that factory workers work better, harder,
and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than
black or grey.
单选题Generations of Americans have been brought up to believe that a good breakfast is one of life' s essentials. Eating breakfast at the start of the day, we have all been told, is as necessary as putting gasoline in the family car before starting a trip. But for many people the thought that food is the first thing you have, in the morning is by no means a pleasure. So despite all the efforts, they still take no breakfast. Between 1977 and 1983, the latest years for which figures are available, the number of people who didn' t have breakfast increased by 33 percent—from 8.8 million to 11.7 million—according to the Chicago-based Market Research Corporation of America. For those who feel pain or guilt (内疚) about not eating breakfast, however, there is some good news. Several studies in the last few years indicate that, for adults especially, there may be nothing wrong with omitting breakfast. "Going without breakfast does not affect performance." said Arnold E. Bender, former professor of nutrition (营养) at Queen Elizabeth College in London, "nor does giving people breakfast improve performance." Scientific evidence linking breakfast to better health or better performance is surprisingly inadequate, and most of the recent work involves children, not adults. "The literature," says one researcher, Dr. Ernesto Pollitt at the University of Texas, "is poor./

单选题When people print a stamp, any error made on a stamp raises its value to stamp collectors. A mistake on one inexpensive postage stamp has made the stamp worth a million and a half times its original value.
More than one hundred years ago in the British colony of Mauritius, a small island in the Indian Ocean, the mistake was made. In 1847 an order for stamps was sent to a London printer — Mauritius was to become the fourth country in the world to issue stamps.
Before the order was filled and delivered, a ball was planned at Mauritius"s Government House, and stamps were needed to send out the invitations. A local printer was instructed to copy the design for the stamps. He accidentally inscribed the words "Post Office" instead of "Post Paid" on the several hundred stamps that he printed.
Today there are only twenty-six of these misprinted stamps left-fourteen One Penny Orange Reds and twelve Two Penny Blues. Because of the Two Penny Blues" rareness and age, collectors have paid as much as $16,800 for it.
