Researchers in psychology think that there are also two groups of people: people who prefer warm colors and people who

15、 prefer cool colors. The warm colors are red, orange and yellow. Where there are warm colors and a lot of light, people usually want to be active. People think that red, for example, is exciting. Sociable people, those who like to be with others, like red. The cool colors are green, blue and violet.

16、 These colors, unlike warm colors, are relaxing. Where there are cool colors, people are usually quiet. People who like to spend time alone often prefer blue. Red may be exciting, but one researcher says that time seems to pass more slowly in a room with warm colors than in a room with cool colors.

17、He suggests that a warm color, such as red or orange is a good color for a living room or restaurant. People who are relaxing or eating do not want time to pass quickly. Cool colors are better for offices or factories if the people who are working there want time to pass quickly. Researchers do not

18、know why people think some colors are warm and other colors are cool. However, almost everyone agrees that red, orange, and yellow are warm and that green, blue, and violet are cool.

21、 People D A higher reading rate, with no loss of comprehension, will help you in other subjects as well as in English, and the general principles apply to any language.

22、ysics or economics textbookbut you can raise your average reading speed over the whole range of materials you wish to cover so that the percentage gained will be the same whatever kind of reading you are concerned with.

23、your stage of instruction. They are all about five hundred words long. They are about topics of general interest which do not require a great deal of specialized knowledge. Thus they fall between the kind of reading you might find in your textbooks and the much less demanding kind you will find in a

24、 newspaper or light novel. If you read this kind of English, with understanding at four hundred words per minute, you might skim浏览through a newspaper at perhaps 650-700, while with a difficult textbook you might drop to two hundred or two hundred and fifty. Perhaps you would like to know what readin
