The fact that blind people can "see" things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously.
Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and the cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology that now finds application in everything from fashion to interior decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with passivity and calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive. For primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw as red, the color of blood and rage and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defence and self-preservation. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their physiological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in heartbeat, and blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting connotations, red was chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm, so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项
A、Color probably has an affect on us which we are not conscious of.
B、Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.
C、People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.
D、The psychology of color is of some practical use.
答案
B
解析
判断题。本题问的是:根据文章内容,下面哪一种说法不正确?依据文章第2段最后一句“Because of its exciting connotations,red was chosen as the signal for danger,but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm,so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors”可知,一些高级社区里的救火车和救护车被涂成黄色是因为黄色比红色更能引起人的警觉,这样才能减少它们在路上遭遇交通事故的几率,才能保证它们尽快实施救助。B项的说法与此句不相符,故答案是B 。
