三、阅读理解
A
Why is pink or purple for girls and blue or brown for boys The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. Green was a sacred (神圣) colour to the Egyptians, representing the hope and joy of spring. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in red packages to bring good luck in the new year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious(宗教的)beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace to protect themselves.
People's choice of colours is also influenced by their bodies, reactions (反应)towards them. Green is said to be the most restful colour. It can reduce pain and relax both body and mind. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
Red can cause a person's blood pressure(血压)to rise and increase people's appetite (食欲). Many restaurants like to use different shades of red. Similarly, many websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a colour that easily catches a person's eye.
Blue is another calm colour. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
Next time when you are deciding on what to wear or what colour to decorate your room, think about the colour carefully.

B
Many cars in advertisements are red, blue or green—but almost 75 percent of new cars sold are black, white, silver or grey.
A survey shows people prefer the car colors that don't show dirt such as grey. That means the owners can wash their cars less, saving money. Besides, some areas that are short of water do not allow people to wash their cars often.
According to another survey, white cars are often sold more than cars of other colors. In China, car buyers say white makes a small car look bigger. Car buyers in other countries also like white. And the research also suggests that there is a lower risk of accidents during the day for white cars compared with darker ones. People also think the temperature inside white cars is lower than that in cars of other colors.
At present, every year about 11 percent of cars sold are red and 8 percent are blue. Green has become less popular. In the mid 1990s, green was the most popular color in many places of the world. But today, green cars are hard to find.
Sometime in the future, people may not have to choose the color of their car—technology may let owners change their car's paint color anytime.

四、任务型阅读
It came as a real shock (震惊)to find out that my chickens could tell what color they were eating.
I picked up a package of mixed greens one day. I anxiously brought it home and immediately took a trip out to the chicken house to deliver(递送)it. I knew the girls would welcome the treat!
My chickens have their regular gravity-type feeder for their grain(谷物) and I have a large plastic dog dish that I use for those special treats.
I emptied the bag of greens into the dog dish and stood back to watch for a minute as I usually do. I began to notice that the chickens were eating the green lettuce (莴苣) but were leaving the red leaves. I thought it must be mistaken, but I didn't have time to find out for sure right then.
When I went back a short time later, the dish was empty except for the red leaves. The chickens didn't eat the greens with the red leaves. It took several hours but they finally did eat it. I guess if they had their druthers(偏爱), they'd choose for green leaves only. Red leaves only satisfy in the absence of green leaves.
