Some scientists believe that the first plants to appear on Earth over 500 million years ago 13 looked purple, not green. Plants today are green because 14 use green chlorophyll(叶绿素) to produce energy. 15 these early plants probably used something called retinal(视网膜), which is a dark purple colour.
During the time of the Roman Empire, it was very 16 to make purple dye(染料). The dye came from sea snails(海螺). But 10,000 dead sea snails 17 you just one gram(克) of purple dye... as well as a very bad smell! This 18 purple dye was called“Tyrian Purple”,and it was the preferred 19 of emperors.
In 16th-century England, purple was 20 for the king's family members. QueenElizabeth I's clothes were purple, but ordinary people were not allowed to 21 the colour.
In 1856, William Perkin, an 18-year-old 22 student, noticed something strange while doing an experiment. The chemicals(化学药品) he used to clean his instruments 23 with the chemicals he used in his experiment and produced a bright purple colour. This 24 ledPerkin to start a company using this chemical mixture to make purple dye. The dye was much 25 than sea snail dye. Thanks to Perkin, now anyone can afford to wear purple clothes.

B
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 fast food restaurant, 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!”
31. 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
32. 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
33. 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.
34. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage
A. Colours influence people's daily lives.

Choose a proper colour
Colour is the key! Choosing the right colour of your bedroom should be the first decision when designing the space. A general rule is to avoid using overly bright colours in it. You might be pleasantly surprised when you try out the colours that bring you peace.
Light it up
It is important to choose the correct lighting when designing a bedroom. Besides practical ceiling lighting, lamps and floor lamps can also make it easy for you to get into a sleepy state in
the evening. So don't forget to introduce smaller pockets of light around the room.
Create space to breathe
A tidy room helps you feel calmer. Please remember to reduce the unnecessary furniture and choose the one with doors to hide away the messy clothing shelves. The less furniture you have, the better your room will be, as you will open up floor space to allow the room to appear bigger and less crowded.

For example, good quality pillows(枕头) will make you relaxed and suit almost all requirements.
