People usually talk about two groups of colours: warm colours and cool colours. Scientists think that there also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colours and people who prefer cool colours.
The warm colours are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colours and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People who like to be with others like red. The cool colours are
green, blue and purple. These colours unlike warm colours, are relaxing. Where there are cool colours, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue.
Red may be exciting but one scientist says that time seem to pass more slowly in a room with warm colours than in a room with cool colours. He suggested that a warm colour such as red or orange, is a good colour for a living room or a restaurant.
People who are relaxing or eating don’t want time to pass quickly. Cool colours are better for offices or factories as the people who work there want time to pass quickly. Scientists don’t know why people think some colours are warm and other colours are cool.
However, almost everyone agree that warm colours remind (使想起) people of warm days and
cool colours remind them of cool days. Because in the north the sun is low during winter, the sunlight appears blue. Because the sun is higher during summer, the hot summer sunlight appears yellow.
( ) 1. When people talk about two groups of people, they mean those that like warm colours and like cool colours.
( ) 2. Time seems to pass faster in a room with warm colours than in a room with cool colours.
( ) 3. Scientists have known why people think some colours are warm and other colours are cool. ( ) 4. the best title of the passage is Colours and people.
( ) 5. Red, orange and yellow are warm colours.
( ) 6. Warm colours are better for offices of factories.

Building, and the Statue of Liberty!
New York City is often c 2 the Big Apple. Why? Well, there are several apple trees in the city, but that’s not the reason.
In the early 1920s, there were many racing courses in and a 3 New York City. The apple was used to mean the prize for the races. Then a writer for a New York n 4 used
“Around the Big Apple” as a name for the races.
In the l 5 1920s and early 1930s, New York City’s artists began using the name
“Big Apple”, too. A saying at that time was “There are many apples in the tree, but only one Big
Apple”. The name then became more popular.
In 1971, the New York City government began to use “Big Apple” in o 6 to increase tourism. They used red apples to attract visitors because they believed red apples would serve as a bright and cheerful image of the city. Since then, New York City has officially been the Big Apple.
