III. Read the following passage and design five comprehension questions (15%)
We live in a world filled with colors. Look around you. What color is the wall? What color is your desk?
What colors are you wearing?
Experts who have studied the color preferences of people say that the top five colors, in order of
preference, are blue, red, green, purple, and yellow. Just by paying attention to the colors a person likes, you can better understand his or her personality.
Studies show that a person with a tranquil and orderly personality is attracted to the color blue. Blue seems to have the ability to lower blood pressure. So people who choose blue cars seem to be laid back drivers. They are likely to stop and let others cross the street first. Moreover, people who love blue tend to be conservative and cautious.
Red, on the other hand, is a bright color which many people associate with fire and blood. Red suggests strong feelings and often symbolizes passion. It is said that people who drive red cars are competitive and hate to be overtaken by other drivers.
The color green is opposite to red on the color wheel. Green is considered a good color for meditation and quiet contemplation. It stands for nature, spring, and hope. As a matter of fact, green is said to be the most calming of all colors, which is why hospitals use it a lot. A person who is fond of green is often calm and well-balanced, but at the same time may also be stubborn and have strong opinions. For example, people who drive green cars tend to go their own way. They drive at their preferred speed and do not let the honking of other drivers change their course.
The color purple is associated with royalty and religion in Western cultures. Also, sensitive people who like arts, including musicians and dancers, often prefer the color purple. These people are often dreamers, imagining a world more perfect than the one they live in. in fact, they can sometimes seem a little picky and hard to understand.
While purple is a royal color in the Western world, yellow is the color of the emperors’ clothing in Chinese culture. A preference for yellow might reveal a happy, lively, and friendly personality. This kind of person welcomes new ideas. However, it is often said that people with yellow cars usually drive fast. This may be because yellow is a color that makes the mind active and busy.
Clearly, most people do not surround themselves with the same color all the time. However, if you pay attention to someone, you may notice his or her preference for a particular color. Perhaps this may tell you more about that person than he or she could tell you in words! (from 龍騰職校版教科書)
