七、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分)
阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
What is your favorite color? Do you like yellow, orange and red? You do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like gray and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. 83You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. At least this is what psychologists (心理学者) tell us. They tell us that we don’t choose our favorite color as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly.
A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day.84Light and bright colors make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have few accidents when their machines are painted (漆) orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or new colorful things. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colors they like or dislike. And don’t forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character (性格) when you choose something in different colors.
