问题     Dim lighting is usually associated with relaxation, and winding down after work. But scientists now claim that by harnessing the subduing effect on emotions caused by dim lights.
    Therefore, by dimming the lights, people become more rational, negotiate better and are therefore able to make better decisions.
    Alison Jing Xu, assistant professor of management at University of Toronto Scarborough and Apama La-broo of Northwestern University, made the findings by examining the link between lighting and human emotion, Psych Central reported.
    Participants in the study were asked to rate under different lighting settings subjects including the spici-ness of chicken-wing sauce, how aggressive a fictional character was being, how attractive someone was and the taste of two juices. All of their reactions were intensified in bright light, a phenomena which Professor Xu attributes to the body perceiving light as heat, which can trigger emotions.
    "Bright light intensifies the initial emotional reaction we have to different kinds of stimulus including products and people, " she said.
    In fact, they found that bright light intensifies feelings so dramatically that people prone to depression "actually become more depressed "on sunny days, according to Professor Xu.
    Professor Xu said, " Marketers may also adjust the lightening levels in the retail environment, according to the nature of the products on sale. "
    " If you are selling emotional expressive products such as flowers or engagement rings it would make sense to make the store as bright as possible, " she said.
From the passage, we know that dim lighting could help people______after a day’ s work.
选项 A、increase appetite
B、react actively
C、relax their mind
D、become energetic
答案C
解析 根据文章第一段中的wind down(平静下来，放松一下)可知，昏暗的灯光总是给人一种工作后尽情放松的感觉。所以选择C项。A项意为“增加食欲”、B项意为“反应积极”、D项意为“变得活跃”，在文中都没有提及。
