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 incentive (刺激). 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 because 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(涵义), 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.
Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
选项 A、Color probably has an effect on us which we are not conscious of.
B、Yellow fire engines have caused many bad accidents in some advanced communities.
C、People exposed to pure blue start to breathe more slowly.
D、The psychology of color is of some practical use.
答案B
解析 是非题。本题问根据本文，下列哪种说法不是真的。A．色彩有可能对我们有影响，不过我们没有意识到罢了(参见第一节最后一句)。B．黄色消防车在某些先进社区已经导致了许多恶性事故(参见最后一节最后一句，不过，意思完全悖)。C．面对着纯蓝颜色(人们的)呼吸速度会放慢(参见最后一节倒数第六行后部那句)。D．色彩心理学有些实际用途(参见第二节以及最后一节最后一句，无论是商品以不同颜色包装销售，还是消防车漆成黄色都属色彩心理学的实际用途。)。依据文章内容逐项对照，一眼便可看出选项B所说与文章内容相悖，故选B为答案。
