The printed page in a magazine is yet another system.Scientists recognize the light primaries(原色) are red, green and blue. When mixed, red and green light rays produce yellow, blue and green produce cyan, red and blue produce magenta. Red, green and blue mix to create white light. This colour model is used in computer monitors, television sets and theaters.Most artists recognize red, yellow and blue as the three basic primary colours. These primaries are the pure colours which cannot be created by mixing any other colours.In the print industry, cyan (青色) , magenta ( 紫红色) , yellow and black are used as the primary colours. When you mix all the colours, the result is grey.6．How many colour systems are mentioned in the passage?A．Two. B．Three. C．Only one.

It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word “green” means young, fresh and growing. For example, a greenborn is someone who has no experience. In the 15 th century, agreenborn was a young cow or an ox whose borns(角)had not yet developed. A century later, a greenborn was a soldier who had no expericnce in war. By the 18 th century, a greenborn had the meaning it has today—a person who is new in a job.Someone who is good at growing plants is said to have a green thumb(大拇指). The expression comes from the early 20 th century. A person with a green thumb can make plants grow quickly and well. The Green Revolution(绿色革命)is a name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains. It was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful feeling, jealousy(嫉妒). The green eyed monster is not a dangerous animal from outer space. It is an expression used about 400 years ago by the British writer William Shakespeare in his play “Othello”. It describes the unpleasant feeling when someone has something he wants.In most places in the world, a green light is a signal(信号)to move ahead.

Strange questions, perhaps, but color could be the key to your success. Read on and find out how.The most popular color in Britain isblack. Wearing black makes people feel more confident, but can often make you look unemotional. This may be why people sometimes think that British people don’t want to make a strong impression (印象). Although black is common in Britain, most people agree that in fact blue is the world’s favorite color. The students in school and the people who work in business often wear blue. Wearing blue will show that you are an effective and hard-working person.Sometimes people mistakenly think that red makes you look strong and successful. However, you will be seen aggressive (好攻击的) if you choose red clothes. New information now says that yellow, not red, is the color of winning. Australia and Brazil are both very successful in the sporting world, and the sports things of both countries are yellow. Strangely enough, athletes who wear yellow glasses during a race can improve their time by up to half a second. Tests show that the yellow color makes them feel positive and energetic and could be the difference between a medal and no medal.So, next time you have an important event in your life—a race, a match, an exam or an interview—think about you clothes.

By the eighteenth century, a greenhorn had the meaning it has today--a person who is new in a job.About one hundred years ago, greenhorn was a popular expression in the American west.

The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.

In a new programme “Colour me Healthy”, Verity looks at the ways that colours can influence how hard we work and the choices we make. They can even change our emotions and even influence how healthy we are.“Have you ever noticed how people always use the same colours for the same t hings?” says Verity. “Our toothpaste is always white or blue or maybe red. It’s never green. Why not? For some reason we think that blue and white is clean, while we think of green products(产品)as being a bit unpleasant. It’s the same for businesses. We res pect a company which writes its name in blue or black, but we don’t respect one that uses pink or orange. People who design（设计）new products can use these ideas to influence what we buy.”During the programme, Verity studies eight different colours, two colo urs in each part. She meets people who work in the colour industry, from people who design food packages, to people who name the colours of lipsticks. Some of the people she meets clearly have very little scientific knowledge to prove their ideas, such as the American “Colour Doctor” who believes that serious diseases can be treated successfully by the use of coloured lights. However, she also interviews real scientists who are studying the effects of green and red lights on mice, with some surprising resul ts. Overall, it’s an interesting show, and anyone who watches it will probably find out something new. But because Verity_________to be polite to everyone she meets on the programme, it’s up to you to make your own decisions about how much you should believe.22．What’s Verity’s opinion about colours?A．Colours help people choose products.B．Different people prefer different colours.C．Colours have influences on people in many ways.D．People working in colour industry know little about colours.23．What can you infer from Paragraph 2?A．Colours influence people’s feelings and opinions.B．People get ideas for new products from colours.C．New products are popular because of colours.D．Most companies prefer bright colours.24．The underlined part “goes out of her way” probably means ______.A．feels very pleased B．makes a special effortC．goes on in her own way D．carries on very slowly 25．What’s the passage mainly about?A．How people use colours.
