Look at these examples: If you ask someone in Britain 15 the right colour is for a bride(新娘) to wear, the answer will be white.

Luckily the traffic lights turned green as she was to cross the road, so she made it. When the bus passed the golden arches(拱形门) of McDonald’s, they reminded her of a hamburger. She hadn’t had breakfast that morning because the fruit salad on the blue dish didn’t look delicious at all. However, Amber remembered that she was still on a diet. So now she was really in a black mood. You may have noticed that several colours were used in the above story so as to help describe Amber’s morning. In fact, colours influence your life more than you can ever imagine. Take language for example: You may describe a sick person as being “a bit green”. To describe a depressed(沮丧的) person, you say that the person is “feeling blue”. In short, colours do add interest to daily conversations. Besides, colours can be used in many parts of your daily life. Have you ever thought about why many school buses and taxis are painted yellow, and stop signs red Since yellow is the most eye-catching colour, it can catch people’s attention, especially in heavy traffic. As for red, it is the colour which usually shows warning; as a result, some traffic signs use this colour. For the same reason, hot-water taps are usually marked red. The colours of a dining environment possibly decide how much you eat. Most fast-food restaurants are often decorated in bright colours such as red, yellow, orange, and white for the purpose of increasing people’s appetites(胃口).This is because bright colours are natural colours found in many foods, and, therefore, able to raise people’s spirits. Blue, in comparison with bright colours, is said to lower people’s appetites because few foods are blue in nature. For those who are on a diet, blue dishes and bowls might help!“Morning, Amber! What happened You look a bit green,” said Violet, Amber’s best friend. “Nothing…just feeling…blue,” said Amber. “Hey! Come to my place tonight. Do you know what I just bought A wii! It’s red-hot.”Amber was tickled pink to have the chance to play with the wii and said, “Sounds great!”( )26.According to the passage, if you are on a diet, might help. A.putting your food in a blue dish or bowl B.turning on a yellow light during the mealC.painting the walls of the dining room white D.covering the dining table with an orange cloth( )27.Most school buses are painted yellow because . A.it tells other drivers to prepare to stop B.it helps bus drivers stay in a good moodC.it can easily catch other people’s attention D.it is the colour that most schoolchildren like( )28.Which of the following statements is true A.Amber looked ill when Violet saw her first. B.Amber ate up all her fruit salad in the morning.C.Amber refused to go to Violet’s house in the end.D.Amber didn’t catch the school bus and was late for school.( )29.Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage A.Colours influence people’s daily lives. B.Most fast-food restaurants are painted grey.C.Different colours are used for different purposes.D.Colours make daily conversations more interesting.( )30.What can we infer(推断) from the passage A.Amber was not fat at all. B.Amber cheered up at Violet’s invitation at last.C.Violet didn’t know how colours influenced our lives.D.Arches of McDonald’s are painted gold only to make them beautiful.Unit 2 Colours第三讲 grammar宾语从句在复合句中用作宾语的从句叫做宾语从句。它是众多从句中的一员,在复合句中作主句谓语动词、介词或某些形容词的宾语。在及物动词的后面可以接一个名词来充当宾语,如: I know the man.而这时也可以用一个句子来充当宾语,如: I know that the man is a policeman. 主句引导词 从句宾语从句三大块:1. 引导宾语从句的连词和代词选择; 2. 宾语从句的语序; 3. 宾语从句的时态。Ⅰ.宾语从句的引导词1.陈述句充当宾语从句时,用that引导,that无词义,在口语或非正式文体中常省略。如:My teacher said I was a good boy.老师说我是个好男孩。She doesn’t know (that) she is seriously ill.

All thought they were the most important and useful.Green said, “I'm the symbol of life and hope. I was chosen for grass, trees and leaves.

Look at the colour of the sun and the moon.”Orange continued, “I'm the colour of joy. My beauty is so fantastic that no one can think of you at sunrise or sunset.”Red shouted out, “I'm the ruler of you. I'm the colour of life and love. So nobody can take my place.”Purple stood up, “I'm the colour of power. People never question me! They just listen and follow.”Finally, indigo spoke slowly, “I stand for thought and reflection. Yet all of you just need them.”Suddenly, the sky became dark and rain started to pour down. The colours all gathered(聚集) in fear. Rain began to speak, “Join hands and come to me.”The colours did as they were told.
