问题     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 (化妆品) 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 (刺激). 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 defense 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(涵义), 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 that stop the traffic dead.
If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following things does NOT happen?

选项 A、They breathe faster.
B、They feel afraid.
C、Their blood pressure rises.
D、Their hearts beat faster.

答案B

解析 是非题。本题问如果人们暴露在红颜色面前,下列哪件事不会发生。A.他们呼吸更快。B.他们会感到害怕。C.他们血压升高。D.他们心跳更快。依据本文倒数第七行后部的句子:“面对着鲜红颜色的人会表现出心跳加快和血压升高的现象。红色容易使人兴奋。”我们不难发现选项B显然没有包括在内,故选B。当然,可能会有同学产生疑问,选项A好像也没有提及,为什么就不能选为答案呢?产生疑问的同学显然缺乏浅显的医学常识,人在兴奋的时候,呼吸是必然会急促(加快)的,因此A的意思句子虽然没有明说,其实却已包含在句子里头了,故不能选为答案。
