To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims（穆斯林）, it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious（宗教的） beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils（灾祸）.Peoples choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies reactions （反应）toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environments have been found to have fewer stomach aches.Red can cause a persons blood pressure to rise and increase peoples appetites（食欲）. Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial(商业的) websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a persons eye. Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help. The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully. 56. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their . A. cultural values B. commercial purposesC. personal experiences D. physical reactions to the color57. Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button? A. To relax people physically. B.

The Meaning and Function of ColorBWhen Frida Kahlos paintings were on show in London, a poet described her paintings as “ a ribbon （丝带）around a bomb”. Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time. Sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time.Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City , Kahlo suffered from polio（小儿麻痹症）at the age of seven. Her spine （脊柱）become bent as she grew older. Then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. Throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. However, the accident had an unexpected side effect. While lying in her bed recovering, Kahlo taught herself to paint.In 1929, she got married to Diego Rivera, another famous Mexican artist. Riveras strong influences on Kahlos style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband.Unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and1940s, even in her home country. Her first one-woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954, Kahlos works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last. 60.
