What is your favourite colour? Do you like yellow, orange, or red? If you do, you must be an active person who enjoys life. Do you like blue? Then you are probably quiet, shy, and would rather follow than lead.
Colours do influence our moods. A yellow room makes 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 (令人压抑的). There was a black bridge over the Thames River, near London. The number of people who killed themselves on that bridge used to be larger than on any other bridge in the area---until it was repainted green.
Light and bright colours make people not only happier but also more active. In the factory, the workers will work better, harder, and have fewer accidents when their machines are painted orange rather than black.

A. yellow, orange, or red

Many scientists find that colours can change people’s feelings. It’s very interesting. Some colours can make people feel relaxed, and some colours can make people feel nervous. Now，this kind of knowledge is being used in many places. For example, school walls are always painted green because green makes students feel relaxed. It is also good for the students’ eyes. Some books are also green or light blue for the same reason. Restaurant owners not only have to know how to make food，but also have to know how to make money. Here are some things they’ve learned from scientific studies. The colour red makes people hungry. Many fast food restaurants have red furniture or walls. Soft colours like pink and light blue make people feel relaxed，so they spend more time eating. Loud music may be nice at first，but it soon makes people want to leave. Hard seats also make customers want to eat quickly and leave. Many restaurants, especially fast food restaurants, use this knowledge to make customers eat faster.
( )53. How does the colour green make the students feel？
A. Hungry.
B. Nervous.
C. Angry.
D. Relaxed.
( )54. How does the colour red make most people feel？
A. Hungry.
B. Comfortable.
C. Excited.
D. Worried.
( )55.Which colour isn’t mentioned in this passage？
A. Green.
B. White.
C. Light blue.
D. Red.

More and more young people in China begin to celebrate Father’s Day. They send fathers presents, or invite them for a nice dinner. But do you know how Father's Day started?
While Mrs. Dodd, from America, was listening to a talk about Mother's Day in a church in 1909, she had an idea of having Father’s Day to honor her father, William Smart. Mr. Smart used to be a soldier. His wife died when she gave birth to her sixth child. Mr. Smart had to raise his six children alone. They lived a hard life. After Mrs. Dodd grew up, she wanted to thank her father for what he had done for them. She told her pastor (牧师) that fathers should have a similar holiday to honor them. Although she suggested June 5th, her father's birthday, the pastor did not have enough time to get things ready.
Then the first Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19th, 1910 in Washington. Children made special desserts and did other things to make their fathers happy. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge supported the idea of a national Father’s Day. People all over the country began to celebrate Father’s Day. Finally, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson made the third Sunday of June Father’s Day.

Colours and Moods
Do you know anything about the relationship between colours and moods?
Green is an energetic colour. It can give you energy, as it is the colour of nature and represents new life. So when you are tired or weak, you should wear green clothes.
Red is a strong colour. It can make you look more powerful. It also represents luck in China and many women preferred to wear red on their wedding day in the past.
My favourite colour is white because it is the colour of purity and it can help me calm down when I feel nervous.
All the colours make our world colourful and wonderful.。
