Next time, when you get stuck(堵塞) behind a slow driver, look at the colour of his car. It will probably be

green. American researchers have found that green cars are chosen by stubborn(固执的) drivers who dislike to get

out of the way for anybody. They also complain about the way others drive.

The study also shows that bright red cars are usually driven by outgoing people who hate being overtaken(赶

超). And, it is said that yellow cars are always in a hurry. Drivers of yellow cars will not wait when they get stuck.

They will turn off the road and try to find another way.

Blue is the colour chosen by the relaxed drivers. It’s hardly possible for them to get angry with other drivers

and they will almost certainly stop before the red light.

Black was the only colour available when cars were first sold. Many people remember that Henry Ford, the

producer of the first cars, once said “Any colour—so long as (只要)it’s black” when someone asked about what

colour car he could have. Now black has become a popular colour in some countries.

（2021·江苏·沭阳县修远中学九年级阶段练习）Mary didn’t understand such sentences as “She is blue

today.”, “You are yellow.”, “He has a green thumb.”, “He has told a white lie.” and so on. And she went to the

teacher Mrs James for help.

Mary: Mrs James, there is a colour in each of the sentences. What do they mean?

Mrs James: In everyday English, Mary, blue sometimes means sadness, and yellow means fear. A person with

a green thumb grows plants well and a white lie is not a bad one.

Mary: I’m afraid I don’t understand them all. Would you give me an example for “a white lie”?

Mrs James: Certainly. Now I just give you some bread. In fact you don’t like it, but you don’t want to let me

know it. Instead you say, “No, thanks. I’m not hungry.” That’s a white lie.

Mary: It sounds very interesting. Thanks very much.

Mrs James: You are welcome. Colours are meaningful. I think you will meet more sentences like these in the

future. Please come to me if you have any questions.

（2021·江苏·沭阳县修远中学九年级阶段练习）The world around us is full of colours—the grass is

green, and the sky is blue. What a pity it will be if people can not see the colours. But there are people who are

blind to certain colours.

Human colour blindness is a strange thing to explain. In a single eye there are millions of very small things

called “cones”. They help us to see in bright light and to tell the difference between colours. There are also

millions of “rods” which are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us the shape but not the colour.

Some birds and other animals’ eyes have few or no cones, so they cannot see colours. Cats and dogs cannot

see colours as well as we can.

Some insects(昆虫) can even see X－rays. Scientists know that there are other colours around us which

insects can see but we cannot see.

People have their favourite colours. Blue is often popular because it is the colour of the sky and sea. Green is

the colour of nature, it makes us think of grass, field and forest. Yellow is the colour of the sun. Red is the colour

of blood and fire. It makes some people think of accidents, danger and blood. Black is the colour of the night. In

the dark we cannot see what is around us, so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a

colour.

8．What does the underlined phrase “colour blindness” mean in Chinese?

A．夜盲 B．色差 C．色盲 D．色弱

9．Which of the following statements about “cones” and “rods” is RIGHT?

A．Some birds can’t see colours because their eyes have no rods.

B．Cones are used for seeing in the dark.

C．Rods help us to see in bright light.

D．Rods show us the shape but not the colour at night.

10．We can find this article in ________ column (栏目) of a magazine.

A．Amazing animals B．Believe it or not C．Do it yourself D．Let’s play

（2022·江苏·南通市新桥中学八年级期中）If you go shopping in any toy store, you can see clearly the

different games and toys for boys and girls: there are a lot of pink toys on one side of the store for girls; and dark-

coloured cars, guns, and soldiers for boys. Some big stores with toys may even have a pink floor for girls and a

blue floor for boys. In fact, it is difficult to buy a toy for a girl that is not pink.

Some people think that too much pink is bad for girls. Sue Palmer, writer of Toxic Childhood, is very worried

that most girls over the age of three are crazy about the colour. According to some scientists, this happens for two

reasons. Firstly, most companies offer too many products in pink. Also, many parents think their little daughter

looks cute in pink. Sue Palmer says that girls at this age cannot make proper decisions by themselves, but the pink

can affect the choices and the decisions they will make in the future.

Some parents are worried too—for example, Vanessa Holburn, thirty-two, who has two girls under the age of

four. Their bedrooms are a sea of pink and Vanessa is not happy. “Pink says that you are soft and gentle. Blue says

that you are strong and powerful. I want my daughters to be strong and powerful. I’m worried that pink will not

help them with that,” she says.

But not everyone thinks there’s something wrong with pink. Grayson Turner is a father of three girls and he

isn’t worried at all. “People forget that things change all the time,” he says. “My girls used to love pink when they

were little, but as they get older, they change.” Turner explains that his twelve-year-old daughter never wears pink

clothes any more. “This love of pink is just a fashion and all fashions change,” he adds. “It’s only since the 1940s

that people have started dressing girls in pink—before that it was a colour for boys.”

11．Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

A．B．C．D．

12．According to Grayson Turner, ________.

A．parents needn’t worry about pink toys B．all little kids love the colour pink

C．pink has always been a colour for girls D．his girls now prefer the colour blue

13．The purpose of this passage is to ________.
