问题     The fact that blind people can "see" things using other parts of their bodies apart from their eyes may help us to understand our feelings about color. If they can sense color differences then perhaps we too, are affected by color unconsciously.
    Manufacturers have discovered by trial and error that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and the cosmetics (化妆品) should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a whole discipline of color psychology that now finds application in everything from fashion to interior decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with passivity and calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and excitement For primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw as red, the color of blood and rage and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-preservation. Experiments have shown that colors, partly be-cause of their physiological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in heartbeat, and blood pressure. Red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect. It is a calming color. Because of its exciting connotations (内涵), red was chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alertness and alarm, so fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors that stop the traffic dead.
If people are exposed to bright red, which of the following does NOT happen?
选项 A、They become alert.
B、They feel afraid.
C、Their blood pressure rises.
D、Their hearts beat faster.
答案B
解析 事实细节题。可用排除法明确地找出答案。第2段最后一句提到红色是危险的信号，而黄色可以产生a more basic state of alertness and alarm，由此可知红色和黄色都可以使人进入警觉状态，所以选项A的情况属于红色所产生的心理暗示。选项C和D在第2段中倒数第5行有明确提及。只有选项B与红色无关。
