英文阅读材料：颜色对人心情的影响
Colors
often
have
different
meanings
in
various
cultures.
And
even
in
Western
societies,
the
meanings
of
various
colors
have
changed
over
the
years.
But
today
in
the
U.S.,
researchers
have
generally
found
the
following
to
be
accurate.
Black
Black
is
the
color
of
authority
and
power.
It
is
popular
in
fashion
because
it
makes
people
appear
thinner.
It
is
also
stylish
and
timeless.
Black
also
implies
submission.
Priests
wear
black
to
signify
submission
to
God.
Some
fashion
experts
say
a
woman
wearing
black
implies
submission
to
men.
Black
outfits
can
also
be
overpowering,
or
make
the
wearer
seem
aloof
or
evil.
Villains,
such
as
Dracula,
often
wear
black.
White
Brides
wear
white
to
symbolize
innocence
and
purity.
White
reflects
light
and
is
considered
a
summer
color.
White
is
popular
in
decorating
and
in
fashion
because
it
is
light,
neutral,
and
goes
with
everything.
However,
white
shows
dirt
and
is
therefore
more
difficult
to
keep
clean
than
other
colors.
Doctors
and
nurses
wear
white
to
imply
sterility.
Red
The
most
emotionally
intense
color,
red
stimulates
a
faster
heartbeat
and
breathing.
It
is
also
the
color
of
love.
Red
clothing
gets
noticed
and
makes
the
wearer
appear
heavier.
Since
it
is
an
extreme
color,
red
clothing
might
not
help
people
in
negotiations
or
confrontations.
Red
cars
are
popular
targets
for
thieves.
In
decorating,
red
is
usually
used
as
an
accent.
Decorators
say
that
red
furniture
should
be
perfect
since
it
will
attract
attention.
The
most
romantic
color,
pink,
is
more
tranquilizing.
Sports
teams
sometimes
paint
the
locker
rooms
used
by
opposing
teams
bright
pink
so
their
opponents
will
lose
energy.
Blue
The
color
of
the
sky
and
the
ocean,
blue
is
one
of
the
most
popular
colors.
It
causes
the
opposite
reaction
as
red.
Peaceful,
tranquil
blue
causes
the
body
to
produce
calming
chemicals,
so
it
is
often
used
in
bedrooms.
Blue
can
also
be
cold
and
depressing.
Fashion
consultants
recommend
wearing
blue
to
job
interviews
because
it
symbolizes
loyalty.
People
are
more
productive
in
blue
rooms.
Studies
show
weightlifters
are
able
to
handle
heavier
weights
in
blue
gyms.
Green
Currently
the
most
popular
decorating
color,
green
symbolizes
nature.
It
is
the
easiest
color
on
the
eye
and
can
improve
vision.
It
is
a
calming,
refreshing
color.
People
waiting
to
appear
on
TV
sit
in
"green
rooms"
to
relax.
Hospitals
often
use
green
because
it
relaxes
patients.
Brides
in
the
Middle
Ages
wore
green
to
symbolize
fertility.
Dark
green
is
masculine,
conservative,
and
implies
wealth.
However,
seamstresses
often
refuse
to
use
green
thread
on
the
eve
of
a
fashion
show
for
fear
it
will
bring
bad
luck.
Yellow
Cheerful
sunny
yellow
is
an
attention
getter.
While
it
is
considered
an
optimistic
color,
people
lose
their
tempers
more
often
in
yellow
rooms,
and
babies
will
cry
more.
It
is
the
most
difficult
color
for
the
eye
to
take
in,
so
it
can
be
overpowering
if
overused.
Yellow
enhances
concentration,
hence
its
use
for
legal
pads.
It
also
speeds
metabolism.
Purple
The
color
of
royalty,
purple
connotes
luxury,
wealth,
and
sophistication.
It
is
also
feminine
and
romantic.
However,
because
it
is
rare
in
nature,
purple
can
appear
artificial.
Brown
Solid,
reliable
brown
is
the
color
of
earth
and
is
abundant
in
nature.
Light
brown
implies
genuineness
while
dark
brown
is
similar
to
wood
or
leather.
Brown
can
also
be
sad
and
wistful.
Men
are
more
apt
to
say
brown
is
one
of
their
favorite
colors.阅读材料：Exercise
Makes
Your
Heart
Happy
Kids
exercise
all
the
time
without
even
thinking
of
it.
Just
being
active,
like
when
you
run
around
outside
or
play
kickball
at
school,
is
a
kind
of
exercise.
What
else
counts
as
exercise
Playing
sports,
dancing,
doing
push-ups,
and
even
reaching
down
to
touch
your
toes.
When
you
exercise,
you're
helping
build
a
strong
body
that
will
be
able
to
move
around
and
do
all
the
stuff
you
need
it
to
do.
Try
to
be
active
every
day
and
your
body
will
thank
you
later!
You
may
know
that
your
heart
is
a
muscle.
It
works
hard,
pumping
blood
every
day
of
your
life.
You
can
help
this
important
muscle
get
stronger
by
doing
aerobic
(say:
air-o-bik)
exercise.
Aerobic
means
"with
air,"
so
aerobic
exercise
is
a
kind
of
activity
that
requires
oxygen.
When
you
breathe,
you
take
in
oxygen,
and,
if
you're
doing
aerobic
exercise,
you
may
notice
you're
breathing
faster
than
normal.
Aerobic
activity
can
get
your
heart
pumping,
make
you
sweaty,
and
quicken
your
breathing.
When
your
give
your
heart
this
kind
of
workout
on
a
regular
basis,
your
heart
will
get
even
better
at
its
main
job
-
delivering
oxygen
(in
the
form
of
oxygen-carrying
blood
cells)
to
all
parts
of
your
body.
So
you
want
to
do
some
aerobic
exercise
right
now
Try
swimming,
basketball,
ice
or
roller
hockey,
jogging
(or
walking
quickly),
in-line
skating,
soccer,
cross-country
skiing,
biking,
or
rowing.
And
don't
forget
that
skipping,
jumping
rope,
and
playing
hopscotch
are
aerobic
activities,
too!
Exercise
Strengthens
Muscles
Another
kind
of
exercise
can
help
make
your
muscles
stronger.
Did
you
ever
do
a
push-up
or
swing
across
the
monkey
bars
at
the
playground
Those
are
exercises
that
can
build
strength.
By
using
your
muscles
to
do
powerful
things,
you
can
make
them
stronger.
For
older
teens
and
adults,
this
kind
of
workout
can
make
muscles
bigger,
too.
Here
are
some
exercises
and
activities
to
build
strong
muscles:
push-ups
pull-ups
tug-of-war
rowing
running
in-line
skating
bike
riding
Exercise
Makes
You
Flexible
Can
you
touch
your
toes
easily
without
yelling
ouch
Most
kids
are
pretty
flexible,
which
means
that
they
can
bend
and
stretch
their
bodies
without
much
trouble.
This
kind
of
exercise
often
feels
really
good,
like
when
you
take
a
big
stretch
in
the
morning
after
waking
up.
Being
flexible
is
having
"full
range
of
motion,"
which
means
you
can
move
your
arms
and
legs
freely
without
feeling
tightness
or
pain.
It's
easy
to
find
things
to
do
for
good
flexibility:
tumbling
and
gymnastics
yoga
dancing,
especially
ballet
martial
arts
simple
stretches,
such
as
touching
your
toes
or
side
stretches
Exercise
Keeps
the
Balance
Food
gives
your
body
fuel
in
the
form
of
calories,
which
are
a
kind
of
energy.
Your
body
needs
a
certain
amount
of
calories
every
day
just
to
function,
breathe,
walk
around,
and
do
all
the
basic
stuff.
But
if
you're
active,
your
body
needs
an
extra
measure
of
calories
or
energy.
If
you're
not
very
active,
your
body
won't
need
as
many
calories.
Whatever
your
calorie
need
is,
if
you
eat
enough
to
meet
that
need,
your
body
weight
will
stay
about
the
same.
If
you
eat
more
calories
than
your
body
needs,
it
may
be
stored
as
excess
fat.
Exercise
Makes
You
Feel
Good
It
feels
good
to
have
a
strong,
flexible
body
that
can
do
all
the
activities
you
enjoy
-
like
running,
jumping,
and
playing
with
your
friends.
It's
also
fun
to
be
good
at
something,
like
scoring
a
basket,
hitting
a
home
run,
or
perfecting
a
dive.
But
you
may
not
know
that
exercising
can
actually
put
you
in
a
better
mood.
When
you
exercise,
your
brain
releases
a
chemical
called
endorphins
(say:
en-dor-funz),
which
may
make
you
feel
happier.
It's
just
another
reason
why
exercise
is
cool!【备战宝典】：“细节理解法”解答阅读理解题
