Blind people can “see” things by using other parts of their bodies. This fact may help us to understand our feelings about color. If blind people can sense color differences, then perhaps we, too, are affected by color unconsciously. Manufacturers have discovered by experience that sugar sells badly in green wrappings, that blue foods are considered unpleasant, and that cosmetics should never be packaged in brown. These discoveries have grown into a branch of color psychology. Color psychology now finds application in everything from fashion to decoration. Some of our preferences are clearly psychological. Dark blue is the color of the night sky and therefore associated with calm, while yellow is a day color with associations of energy and incentive. For a primitive man, activity during the day meant hunting and attacking, while he soon saw red as the color of blood and anger and the heat that came with effort. And green is associated with passive defense and self-protection. Experiments have shown that colors, partly because of their psychological associations, also have a direct psychological effect. People exposed to bright red show an increase in breath, in heartbeat and in blood pressure; red is exciting. Similar exposure to pure blue has exactly the opposite effect; it is a calming color. Because of its exciting meaning, red is chosen as the signal for danger, but closer analysis shows that a vivid yellow can produce a more basic state of alarm. So fire engines and ambulances in some advanced communities are now rushing around in bright yellow colors.

文本細節檢核
這道題目主要考察的是對於文章末段生理反應描述的精確理解。根據課文最後一段的實驗結果,當人們暴露在**亮紅色(bright red)**環境下時,生理上會出現明顯的變化,包含呼吸加快(increase in breath)、心跳加速(heartbeat)以及血壓升高(blood pressure)。選項 (A)、(C)、(D) 都能在文中找到直接對應的證據;唯獨選項 (B) They feel satisfied(感到滿足) 在文中完全沒有提及,文中僅提到紅色具有「興奮(exciting)」的效果,這與滿足感是完全不同的概念。
