问题    What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or 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 colours preference, as well as the effect that colours have on human beings. They tell us, among other facts, that we do not choose our favourite colour 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.
   Colours 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(自杀)than any other bridge in the area—until it was repainted green. The number of suicide attempts immediately fell down sharply: perhaps it would have fallen even more if the bridge had been done in pink or baby blue.
   Light and bright colours 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.
Which of the following statements is true?

选项 A、People’ s preference of one colour to another is instinct.
B、People’ s preference of one colour to another is acquired as they grow up.
C、Factory workers meet fewer accidents when their machines are painted grey.
D、More people happen to love brown because they saw it when they were born.

答案A

解析 事实细节题。由文章第一段最后两句话可知,我们并非在成长的过程 中选择最喜爱的色彩,因为早在我们出生时就已经确定了喜好(we are born with our preference),因此A项符合文义,B项不正确;由文章最后一段最后一句可知,C项错 误;由第一段最后一句可知,如果你碰巧喜欢棕色,那么在你出生时就已经是这样了(did so=loved brown),而并非因为你出生时看到了棕色才喜欢它,故D项也不正确。
