Ⅳ.[2020·泰州] 阅读理解
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 colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours 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, colours do add interest to daily conversations.
Besides, colours 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 colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning; as a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red.
The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites(胃口).This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colours, 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!”
( )26.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 room white
D.covering the dining table with an orange cloth
( )27.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 colour that most schoolchildren like
( )28.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.

A.Colours influence people’s daily lives.
