You do, you must be a person full of hopeful happy feeling about life. Do you like gray and blue? Then maybe you are quiet, and you would rather go after than go before. And sometimes you feel unhappy. If you love green, you are strong-minded. You wish to do everything well and want other people to see you are successful. (2) A _ They tell us that we dont choose our favorite colour as we grow up. If you happen to love brown, you did so as soon as you opened your eyes, or at least as soon as you could see clearly. (2) B _ A yellow room makes us feel happier and more comfortable than a dark green one; and a red dress brings warmth and gladness to the saddest winter day. (3)Light and bright colours make people not only happier but more active. It is a fact that factory workers work better, harder, and have few accidents when their machines are painted(漆)orange rather than black or dark gray. Remember, then, that if you feel low, you can brighten your day or your life with a new shirt or a new colourful thing. Remember also that you will know your friends better when you find out what colours they like or dislike. And dont forget that anyone can guess a lot about your character( 性格)when you choose something in different colours.（1）将划线部分译成英语：_（2）把下面的选项放在合适的位置。_ (A./B)At least this is what psychologists(心理学者)tell us.（3）将划线部分译成汉语：_. （4）What can you do when you feel unhappy?_（5）在空白处填入一个适当的词语。From the reading we know that _ has a concern with feelings and character四、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共12分)25. （12分）阅读短文，完成小题。If you think youre too shy and want to be a little bit braver, try the following.

Each time after you say “Hi” or smile at someone for the first time, say to yourself “You did it!” Or it could be something bigger, like buying yourself an ice cream.Keep trying and one day youll never be “shy” when you talk to others.（1）The phrase “make it” means “_”. （2）把下面方框中的四个句子放回文中_处。A.Learn to be a good talker.B.Get your attention elsewhere.C.Tell people youre shy.D.Try to smile more.（3）将画线句子翻译成汉语。 （4）Which sentence has the same meaning as “people will stay away from an angry-looking face”?
